The Jimbutas sisters (Carlotta and Lilith)

Since the Devil I had conjured up was not exactly the Christian one, I wanted to expand the "spirituality" side by asking for help from experiences and knowledge I had laced with the cultural movement of "Wicca," and almost automatically the figure of Marija Gimbutas, a Lithuanian archaeologist and linguist, an expert on Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of ancient Europe, who with her books on "Myth and Worship of the Mother Goddess in Neolithic Europe," came forward powerfully.

But repurposing her in my novel did not make sense, so I doubled her and gave life to the Jimbutas sisters, Carlotta and Lilith, additionally endowing them with mysterious arcane powers.
