Lamastu/Lamaste/Lilitu/Lilith/Lamia is not Jewish .This is a Sumerian myth that was passed to the Akkadians , the Assyrians , the Jews and the Greeks . I think Wikipedia article is pretty clear .

In the myth this demon is half a woman and half a serpent and this is why Christian bibles up to 17th century had this image depicting the demon in the garden of Eden .

Why i am writing this ? because most of Semitic lore ( yes including Christianity , Judaism and Islam ) comes from the Sumerians .

Also yes Lilitu is a feminist figure because in the myth she was created as an equal to Adam and left the garden on her own volition after an argument with Adonai .

I'm glad someone addressed this. Lilith was actually the first woman created. She was banished from Eden and then Eve was created of Adam's rib.

I'm not religious, but it's weird that christians don't acknowledge this

I've heard this mentioned so many times over the years, but not one had anyone ever given a source. It looks like @ArcAngel may have, so I will have to check that out.

i just happened to read the necronomicon about the same time i read some of the apocryphia....many many books in the apocryphyia, but the old gnostic bible was a source of refernce......many cite the necronomicon as a book of fiction. i do not, or as fictional as the bible koran & talmud...

Thissandwich ago

Which version of the necronomicon were you reading? Donald Tyson's is straight up fiction, it's a nice novel though. Simon's no doubt has real shit in it, but I'm sure there are other ones out there that I haven't seen or read.

this was back in the 80s a translaton of adbul al-hazrad?

Jews stole their religion.

The "jews" of today are adherents to a pre-Sumerian death cult.

Wasn't she also the Drow queen in AD&D. I mean that should give any 'gamer' some pause, right?

"Hey, this organization is named after one evil as fuck bitch queen of spiders and drow. Shouldn't we pump the brakes and see WTF?"

What? Everyone low level and couldn't make it to that high end content? I digress.

Omnidempotent ago

Let women be equal to men and they turn into sex demons who steal children. Sounds about right.

Our ancestors were much wiser than we give them credit for. They created the mythology to communicate with us in ways that could not be destroyed by time.

How the fuck is this bullshit getting upgoated? This asshole writes all this bizarre shit without any references? Do you just have to say "Sumerian" and a few simplistic biblical references?

Many features in Jewish Religion are derived from Babylonia, Sumerian, and Egyptian practice.

She is mentioned by name in the Epic of Gilgamesh. I suppose the contention is whether or not the Talmud Lilith was based off of the Sumerian Lilith but considering that practically half the shit in the jew books comes from Sumerian/Akkadian legends with alterations I wouldn't be surprised.
