I think it's neat. I have a bit of a thing for OTT dark and spooky, and Crowley, all that stuff, is interesting.
I also love Hecate. Lilith, not so much... it gets used quite a bit more than it ever used to, perhaps cos people see it as an interesting way to get 'Lily' while not just using 'Lily', and add some bargain-basement mysticism and edginess too. I've come across a handful of Liliths over the last few years, so it definitely seems to be getting more common. Also I've known / come across a fair few Armenian Liliths / Lilits?? Not sure what that's about.

Not all quite my style, and a lot of them you'd have to be Crowley-level extra to use, but I had fun. I sorta want to make a CAF based on this haha.
