The goddess fancied furniture made of wood and so, she brought it back to Uruk with her, planted it in the courtyard and tended to it for over 10 years.

The earliest known female demon in a civilization however, can be traced back to ancient Sumeria (which, according to historians, is the cradle of human civilization) in the epics of Gilgamesh.ĭuring this period much like the Shamanic period, all diseases and destruction were attributed to the work of evil and malevolent spirits.Īccording to legend, the goddess Inana found a sacred huluppu tree by the river Euphrat. Since every magickal tradition that is preserved to date is a derivation of the shamanic era tribal cultures, almost every magickal tradition has some form of worship of the female demon lilith archetype. Fear and worship of this female demon, dark goddess deity spans across almost every ancient traditions of the world. The answer is that the female demon Lilith is much much older. It is easy to now see how the primeval feminine force which is often associated with darkness, chaos and void was feared in the Abrahamic traditions and how these aspects were thought of something that had to be repressed and put into subjugation under masculine “order”.īut do the stories of this primeval feminine, darkness and chaotic energy originate and exist only in the Abrahamic religions? She is said to steal babies and devour them. While Eve was the caretaker of the new generation of human beings, Lilith was the devourer. She had no independent existence of her own, unlike Lilith, so falling in love was like Adam falling in love with himself anyways. Eve would easily listen to and subordinate herself to Adam and they both fell in love easily. She was then replaced by the subordinate and calm Eve, created out of Adam's own rib.

This primeval female in essence, was then punished because she refused to yield and subordinate. Instead, she strayed into the wild desert where she met all of the banished creatures (demons) of creation, becoming the Queen of demons. However, the relationship between them didn't last very long because she refused to “accept orders” from him and to lay with him when he wanted (how can you blame her?). Most of you may already know that according to the Abrahamic traditions, Lilith is thought to be the first wife of Adam, who in turn was the first man.īoth Lilith and Adam had independent existence and were made to coexist in a relationship with each other. Who is the female demon Lilith? Is she the “all encompassing evil” that traditional religions portray her to be? How do you go about summoning Lilith? What is the best prayer to Lilith? What is 'Lilith Sex', even?
