So there is been so much mysteries involving "Lilith" so many myths and tales. What is right and what is wrong? There are many different ways to approach this, but this is the story.
Lilith first made her self known was through Jewish folklore. Her actual name did not appear in the creation of the Torah, but she has been referenced in other texts. The most well known, and the story that I believe to the heart.
Lilith was the first wife of Adam, created by God. She was the first woman. Problems rose between them, when Adam tried to show dominance over Lilith during sex. She refused to lay beneath him during sex, saying that they were both created by god, and thus were equal in existence. When Adam refused this proposal, Lilith fled from Eden. She left to gain her independence. Adam told God what happened, and God in response sent three angels (Senoi, Sansensoi, Sammangelof) to bring her back. They found her in a cave giving birth. She refused to return to eden. The angels threatened her, saying if she did not return, they would kill 100 of her children every day. People say in revenge, Lilith became a demonic creature/being, living in hell, she kills other peoples babies (supposedly SIDS)
Along with this story, apparently Lilith returned to Eden, and found that Adam had a new wife Eve. An obedient little bitch created by God just for Adam. In revenge, Lilith had sex with Adam in his sleep, obtaining his seed. With this seed, she created "lilium" which are earth bound demons that were meant to replace her 100 children destroyed by the angels.
Myths also say that Lilith is responsible for sexual, erotic dreams. And that masturbation and erotic dreams create more demons.
Lilith is commonly found in Jewish folklore and midrash. The origin of her is of a Sumerian succubus. Many different scholars argue that Lilith was either "the first eve" or a "demon:. Its up to what you believe. I personally believe the story stated about about her being the first Even, and rebelling.
Lilith and Eve are what have created us women today (these are totally my beliefs,within my theistic satanist beliefs. Everyone, even other satanists are free to have your own opinions, no argument is necessary. Its interesting to see what others have to say and think.)
God, as stated in an early post is a hypocrite, and a power hungry ruler. Therefore, he made men more powerful than women. He would not let Lilith have control, so therefore cast her out just like he did to Lucifer. See the connection? In turn, he made Eve. An obedient woman, who bears the suffering of all women. Lilith can also tie into our suffering, although she is also seen as a power figure for showing sexual dominance. Yet Lilith and Eve created the pain and sorrow of possibly loss of childbirth. When Lilith was cast out, we were doomed. When Eve took the apple, we were doomed.
There is just so much to go into depth here. Thats why this post is somewhat long, because lots of people have questioned me about this.
I have stated before that Satan is the dominant figure. He rules over women, and therefore women obey him.
Throughout history, women have always been oppressed. In the bible, in history, and even today in 2012. Even though in the U.S and other free countries, women are still oppressed and abused. And if you look at traditional, poorer countries, I dont even have to explain women s suffering there, do I?
Women will be in constant suffering in one way or another for ever. There are many women revolutions, and rights and laws permitted, and im sure more will come. But nothing will change, because men are viewed as dominant. Even if they dont abuse their mate, or speak ill of her, any of that horrible things, there is still that sense of superiority over us. We will never be free, because Lilith and Eve cursed us all.
Women will suffer for eternity.
Lilith and Eve play an importance in satanism to an extent. Lilith, for the fact she is considered a demonic being, that betrayed God. Most theistic satanists (or ones I've spoken to) favor her and respect her for standing up and rebelling (Lucifer rebelled, so do you see the relation?) Eve however plays a more important fate to us satanic women. It was Satan who tempted her and morphed her perception. Thanks to Eves choice, us women are doomed (with all reasons stated above). However, for Satan, a dominate figure, to trick her shows his power over all women. We, as women, must do all that Satan says. If you are a theistic satanist and female, obey him. Never rebel.
It just blows my mind of all the connections to this story of Lilith, Adam, and Eve that you can create! So many different ideas and psychological ideas. There is just so much people can derive from just one tale. It turns into many tales. You know what I mean, "the apple symbolizes this..the tree symbolizes this.. Eves choice made this.. Adam is this... blah blah." thats what I mean. Its just so interesting!
