"You gotta give it to Lilith
she was a hell of a woman
Said she'd rather
fuck demons on the beach
than lie under the belly
of that whiner Adam
& flew from Paradise
-Jonelle Maison
Lilith 2
Babylonian or Sumerian Moon Goddess, patroness of Witches, demon Goddess to the
Jews and Christians, Lilith represents primal feminine sexuality. Lilith is the
protectress of all pregnant women and of children and mothers. She is the Goddess of
wisdom, regeneration, enticing sorcery, erotic dreams and feminine allure.
As the early pages of Genesis give two accounts of the creation of women, legend has
it that Lilith was Adam's first wife. Lilith, like Adam, was created from the dust of the
Earth and had been one of the wives of Satan (or so the myth goes). She left her
husband for Adam, but refused to be subservient and submissive to him, saying that
they were both created from the same Earth and thus were equals. They quarreled,
she left and was forced into exile.
Her name stems from a Semitic root meaning "night", and in the Talmud, she is
portrayed as a long-haired demon of the night. She is considered by many to be the
first liberated woman.
