@georgia she killed babies or is that just anti lilith propaganda? I'm incluned to believe it's true since she is probably based on lilitu demons from mesopotamia earlier, although I have never heard anyone make the connection the name seems so close
@georgia left-hand path occultbros do not understand Lilith at all but that's also part of how she has remained powerful. stupid midwit men who decided to meddle with magick get vampirized by the succubus titty demon false image of her, real ones know she's so much more
@georgia I wonder how "become a demon" even works, like do you just say it and you're a demon? supposedly she also caused ocean storms by having sex with sea monsters so she seems to have become superhuman
That's a legit etymology connection. Lilith is mainly a feature of Lurianic Kabbalah (Zohar), but was adopted much like Lucifer by Jewish feminists in the modern era.
@toiletpaper@georgia yeah lilitu were noted for flying through the sky at night, they looked for crying babies to kill or they would drop things on people having sex on their roof
I think the earliest mention of her in text is from the story of Inanna and the Huluppu (ie. willow) tree. It prefigures some of the imagery of the garden of Eden, similar to the story of Enki and Ninhursag.
