Lilith: The Mysterious Figure You’ve Never Heard Of

🌙 She’s mentioned in ancient texts, feared in folklore, and erased from mainstream religion — yet her legend has shaped art, feminism, and occult thought for millennia.

Who was Lilith?
A demoness who stole babies?
Adam’s first wife who refused to obey?
A Mesopotamian wind spirit older than Genesis?
Or a symbol of female autonomy reclaimed by modern culture?

In this carefully researched exploration, we trace Lilith’s journey from:
✅ Her earliest origins in Sumerian and Babylonian demonology (as Lilitu, a night spirit)
✅ Her ambiguous appearance in the Book of Isaiah 34:14 (“Lilith shall repose there”)
✅ The medieval Jewish text Alphabet of Ben Sira — where she becomes Adam’s rebellious first wife
✅ Her suppression in mainstream Christianity — and resurgence in Kabbalah, occultism, and feminist theology
✅ Her modern rebirth in literature, music, and pop culture (from Supernatural to Borderlands)

This isn’t just mythology.
It’s a story about power, silence, and the figures history tried to forget.

🔍 Perfect for fans of:
• Ancient mythology
• Biblical mysteries
• Women in religious history
• Occult symbolism
