Who is Lilith

Lilith’s story starts in the Garden of Eden, when she refused to be lesser than Adam, they started a fight which resulted in Lilith leaving the garden. Soon after, God and Adam sent 3 angels in search of her to return. When they found her and delivered the message, Lilith refused and the angels threatened to drown her. They eventually came to an agreement that Lilith shall not harm any child or person bearing an amulet with the angel’s name on it.

Lilith started out from the lowliest of origins, she was a failure as Adam’s intended wife, then became the paramour of lascivious spirits, rose to be the bride of Samael the demon King, ruled as the Queen of Zemargad and Sheba, and then became a feminist icon.

Her dark origins lie in Babylonian demonology, where amulets and incantations were used to counter the powers of this winged spirit. Lilith has also appeared in the worlds of ancient Hittites, Egyptians, Israelites and Greeks. She makes a solitary appearance in the Bible, as a wilderness demon shunned by the prophet Isaiah, and in the Middle Ages she reappears in Jewish sources, as the dreadful and feared first wife of Adam.
