"My name thou knowest not,

and yet shall know,

And know too late.

But, know thou this indeed:

Joy is my sister. Sister I, to Death."





It is said that Lillith was the twin sister of Adam and dwelt with him in the Garden at Paradise. Adam was king of Eden and Lillith wished to be co-ruler with him, but the Lord of Light permitted it not. Lillith was beautiful and wise. She wearied of her brother, Adam, who was less wise than she. Lillith refused to bear children from Adam. The Lord of Light was angered and turned Lillith out of Paradise. Samuel, an angel of the Lord of Light and a son of god, fell in love with Lillith. To Samuel, Lillith bore three half-god, half-human children, all called the nephilim. Their wisdom, power and beauty was so great that the children of Darkness were afraid of them and called them monstrous names to defile them. Lillith would not be defiled. From her beloved Samuel she learned the wisdom of the Lord of Light and became the first witch. She lived as a daughter of the night mother, calling the people to dance and be joyous by the light of the moon. Her symbol was the night owl, and those who followed her called her Arionrhod. The children of Darkness trembled and barred their doors at night seeking to protect themselves lest Lillith take them and teach them the ways of the wise ones, the witches of old.

Lilith was once the wife of Sammael, who is incorrectly known as Lucifer. This marriage did

not last long for She is a wild, passionate and heroic soul, quite incompatible with the cold

demeanor of Sammael. After leaving Sammael, She joined with Adam.



Her time with Adam did not go well. Adam would insist and rail upon Her. "I am your lord

and master," claimed Adam. However, Lilith would say, "We are both equal, for we are both

issued from the dust, and I will not be your slave." This went on, Adam claiming he was

superior and Lilith stating that they were equal. Eventually, Lilith became tired of Adam's

self-perceived superiority and flew away.



Adam decided that this was too much and beseeched three angels - whose names were

Senoi, Sansenoi and Sammengelof, to fetch Lilith back to him. They caught Lilith above

what is now known as the Red Sea, and a great battle took place.



During the battle they realized that Lilith's powers were too great for them to force Her into

obedience, and they attempted to drown Her. She fought them off but, during the battle,

drops of Her blood fell into the sea, thus giving the Red Sea its name.



When the angels returned to report their failure, Adam went to Yahweh and said, "Oh,

Almighty Lord, the creature that was my wife has left me, claiming that since we both came

from the dust, we were equal and she refused to be my servant."



So the Almighty in his wisdom, caused a sleep to fall upon Adam, and in his slumber

removed a rib. This He fashioned into a woman. As She had come from man, She was a

part of man and, thus, belonged to man.
