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...

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.
