Lilith

With the black Lilith moon tonight I wanted to write about Lilith, an Abrahamic demonness of evil, sex, homosexuals, desire, night, Abortions, disease, miscarriages, and infant deaths.

Lilith was created by Yahweh/Allah at the same time as they created Adam. Lilith and Adam were created as a couple with Lilith ment to submit to her husband but refused and was banished from the Garden of Eden. Some Neopagans see her refusal to submit to Adam as her being either asexual or a lesbian as well as being a feminist. She is also sometimes described as intersex as she was not split like Adam and remained whole. In Abrahamic myths, her ‘refusal to submit’ is sometimes her having relationships with others men; in Judaism and Christianity, it was the angel Samael, while in Islam, it’s the jinn Iblis. Some versions of the myth include Lilith returning to the Garden of Eden as a serpent to temp Adam’s second wife Eve into eating the forbidden fruit (most versions have Satan or Lucifer as the serpent). Because Lilith never tasted the forbidden fruit she remained immortal as Yahweh wanted humans to be. In old Hebrew myths Lilith has a husband, Lilit a deamon of sickness and evil. Some theistic satanists view Lilith as the wife of Satan.

Lilith is often considered a Hebrew version of the Mesopotamian demon Lilû (masculine) Lili (feminine). When customs surrounding Lilith were brought to Greece she was synchronized with the vampiric daimons, Lamia who are half snake women cursed by Hera after an affair with Zeus.

The asteroid Lilith is named after her as well of the phenomenon, black Lilith moon; which is the opposite of a super moon.

Being a demon, Lilith was not worshipped until the neopagan movement and modern occultism, however rituals were held to repel her from the home. Lilith would be drawn in a bowl along with an inscription written in a spiral pattern. The bowl would then be buried under or around the home with the bowl creating a pocket to trap her. Within some modern Christian beliefs she is the hellish counterpart of The Virgin Mary.
