Summary: Bithliel served on the world of Komah Seedrah as the presiding Heavenly Mother and co-Ahman of the Celestial Council of El Ramadee. Her Beloved, Dahmiel, was destroyed by Yaldabaoth while going to the aid of the Azraella during the First Demiurgic War in Heaven (5:17:1-47). Bithliel was the first Goddess in the history of Heaven to lose a Beloved.
Notes/References:
And so there gathered all the varied hosts of the Celestial Kingdom to stand before the Azraella and his Daughter; being themselves filled with gratitude that the Heavens were most timely saved; but in their heart was there found the shock of deepest sorrow.
For the Heavens had suffered greatly at the loss of one most dear, to harbor in their private hearts the tears of godly grief; extending through the Tael a holy consolation unto Bithliel who stood herself most well composed, being herself most gracious and filled with humble dignity.
But in the seeing of Bithliel did Mahaleenah step forth, and approaching close to her, Bithliel did most gently yield, to place before the noble Daughter the grief of all her heart; and before the gathered assembly did Mahaleenah softly comfort, to lift the heavy burden.
Placing in the wounded heart the seed of godly hope, causing that Bithliel should see once more, in a future yet to come, a Beloved of her own again who would most sweetly love, to stand beside her always, forever and anon.
