Naamah's symbolic form is often visualized as a sinister, lustful, cruel, dominant, sexually attractive, beautiful, majestic and demonic Princess of Darkness. She is often seen dressed in a bloody, red dress that reveals more than what it conceals...
Upon her head she wears a crown made out of black stone, with a Lapis Smaragdina set over the place of her 'third eye.' She is often adorned with different jewellery and necklaces that represent the luxury or richness connected to her chthonic realm. The Black Earth hides many treasures, and jewels and precious metals are often the exoteric symbols for those riches of the underworld.
Naamah's face is pale, with lips of blood red. Her eyes are black (like those of a shark) and her very long hair is jet black. Often she manifests within certain settings in which one can see her close to, and sometimes riding, a seven-headed, black Serpent of Fire. Other times this seven-headed snake rises out of her shadow cast upon the ground and coils around her.
Naamah is also The Weaver, so the tools of that art, like the Spinning Wheel, are many times seen within the visions of her manifested power. One can see the silhouette of a spider upon the Black Moon in the sky above her. With her left hand she takes down the silken thread of the great, black, Spider Moon and binds it with her Spinning Wheel, in order to weave the threads of her dark spells. These threads she uses in her witchcraft, which can both bind and set loose the souls and spirits of man.
An arched gate, twined with thorny vine, or some other kind of doorway/portal can be seen in the background, and upon the ground close to where she stands, one can see small cracks out of which emerge black flames and sinister shadows.
Beneath her feet, upon the ground, one can also see the crossed bones and the cracked skulls of the dead, as a sign of her chthonic connections and powers. Sometimes she is envisioned drinking from a skull cup (human skull held upside down) and that also represents her powers as the deathly initiatrix who, through the Death Gate towards the Sitra Ahra, grants rebirth to her chosen followers.
As one can read within her Invocation, Naamah is also often envisioned holding in her hand/s many black threads (dripping blood?) that emanate outwards from her in all directions. This is understood as a sign of her being the one 'pulling the strings' and making the puppets dance... In that case, the blood-filled skull cap is seen placed upon the Sigil of Nahemoth on the ground close to her feet.
As Naamah is the 'Lovely' and the 'Pleasant One', she often manifests her essence in forms exoterically connect to the Queen of the Succubus, but her sub-lunar essence is more chthonic than sexual, and her seductive smile often hides her cruel intentions.
Naamah can also be linked, in form, to the biblical vision of the Whore of Babylon (again as a visible and manifested form of the unmanifested and fluid essence of Ama Lilith). She is also known for her enchanting singing voice, which has the power to make the stars of the heavens fall, awaken the Spiritual Flame in her elect, and drive man (and woman) to madness and monstrous crimes.
In order to understand Naamah as the 'visible face of Lilith,' one must first understand Lilith's 'facelessness' on many different levels, as it represents her ability to assume every aspect, form and power she wishes. Lilith's manifestations are fluid, like the lunar element that she rules over, and her masks shift like the 'thousand faces of the moon.' Because of this, Lilith's manifestations, powers, and attributes are more surrealistic and bizarre than those of Naamah.
Naamah is much more concrete in her manifestations and therefore easier to understand and grasp than Lilith, who is beyond causal understanding. But in order to really understand what we mean by saying that Naamah is the 'visible face of the faceless queen', the differences between the spheres of dreams and the sphere of manifestation must be fully understood.
The ethereal power of the Lunar Gamaliel becomes focused, firm, but also somewhat limited, in Nahemoth. That which is unbound by static form in the realm of surrealistic Nightmares takes a more graspable (but not fully static) form in Nahemoth. The astral kliffot thus descends, through Naamah, into the realm of kliffotic manifestation (Nahemoth). And because of the connection between Nahemoth and Malkut (the entangled roots of the two trees) it is Naamah who is the mistress of the Earth Gates leading to the Nightside.
All the different aspects of the Vision of Naamah are symbolic representations of the diverse powers and attributes connected to her, so when one brings all of them together, a focused 'point of sympathy' (and ingress) that attracts the essence it is in harmony with, is created, consecrated and opened.
The Vision of Naamah then becomes a 'Holy Eidolon'/Astral Idol (spiritual effigy/fetish), connected to the 218 Current, and constructed to become both a dwelling place for the evoked power of the Nehemotic Mistress as well as a gate to her kliffotic realm.
Hail Naamah Nahemoth Nahema!
