Leviathan
quote:
The leader of the heretics, according to Balberith's account. He tempts men with sins directly repugnant to the Christian faith. His adversary is Peter the Apostle. In rabbinical tradition he is a demon who appeared in his masculine incarnation as Samuel (Salamiel) and seduced Eve, then in his feminine incarnation as Lilith and seduced Adam.
"Dictionary of Satanism", by Wade Baskin, published by the Philosophical Library, New York, 1972 edition.
Lilith
quote:
The ancient Jews believed that Lilith bore Adam many children before she abandoned him for the demon Samael. The first she-demon in human history, she is supposed to have hated Eve's children and their descendants. When sons were born, superstitious Jews displayed cards on which was written, 'Adam and Eve, enter here; Lilith, remain outside.' [DOS]
--------------------------------------------------------
Although Lilith was not an angel, she was directly created by God. The Devil's consort, the Queen of Hell, and the daughter of night, Lilith is a holy terror. Driven by an insatiable hunger of envy, Lilith stalks the world by night raping men in their sleep and sucking their blood, or stealing their newborn children from their cribs and eating them. According to ancient Hebrew beliefs, God created Lilith to be Adam's first wife; but he made them unequal, connected back-to-back like Siamese twins. When they argued incessantly, God decided to split them into individual people, but this did not do. Lilith hated being a housewife under her husband's thumb all the time. She questioned masculine supremacy and was not a big fan of the missionary position, which was what Adam (and one surmises, God) preferred in their sexual relations.
Lilith ran away with a band of demons, with whom she spawned a generation of evil creatures called Lilin or Lilis, often depicted as owls. Owls were considered to be evil birds of night that could not look directly at light. As bad as she was, Adam missed her and complained of his loneliness to his maker. God created Eve (from Adam's rib, lest there be any lingering question who was dominant) and sent three angels -- Sanvi, Sansanvi, and Semangalef -- to fetch Lilith. They found her with her vile prgenjy and demanded she return, but she would not. As punishment, God decreed she be banished and that all of her children die in infancy. Lilith grew despondent and went to throw herself into the Red Sea. The three angels were genuinely moved by Lilith's despair and compensated her with power over newborn boys for the first eight days of their lives, the first twenty days for newborn girls. Lilith in return promised not to harm children who had the three angels' names written anywhere near them.
Alone outside of Paradise, Lilith happened upon another creature divorced from God, the Devil, who in the Talmud legend takes the name of Sammael. Bound by their mutual hatred of humanity, Sammael and Lilith spawned a generation of devils and wicked creatures. Some beliefs claim it was Sammael and Lilith who plotted the downfall of mankind in Eden. In many artistic representations, the serpent is actually Lilith, not Satan. In others, Satan seduces Eve while Lilith works her charm on Adam, and it is all euphemized in the idea of tasting forbidden fruit. While many cultures revile Lilith as the epitome of evil femininity, in others she has come to represent the fight for women's equality and free sensuality. In the Talmud, it is not Lilith's hatred for babies that drives her into nurseries, but her love of them. Barren for eternity, she longs to press a warm baby against her breast. According to the same belief, if a baby smiles during the Sabbath, Lilith is amusing it.
