WARNING: This page is NOT suitable for children due to the sexual and bloody nature of the Lilith legend. LILITH...ISIS...DIANA...ATHENA: 'WHO WAS THAT MASKED WOMAN? Millions of women worldwide have been increasingly drawn to the story of Lilith because they have heard she was some sort of "equal" to Adam in Jewish legend. This "feminist" version of Eve supposedly has become the patron-saint of the lesbian movement as well as witches, New Age adherents, and a wide variety of musical performers hoping to ride the wave of Lilith curiosity. But just who is this Lilith? Where is the origin of her legend? Throughout history an archetypical "Wise-Woman" has been rumored to have existed, some say even before Adam. Others say she was made at the same time as Adam. Some even think she was the "wife" of Yahweh, although that idea is mostly recent speculation by a few radical scholars. This proposed Asherah-Yahweh link is unmentioned in the Lilith legends. There are two basic forms of the Lilith legend in Jewish tradition. In one, she is created along with Adam and felt herself equal; the joke here was that she was a little more equal because she wanted to ALWAYS be on top during sex. In the other version, she is some sort of angelic being and the mate of Lucifer, whom she leaves in order to try to have sex with Adam. The theory here is that Lucifer seduces Eve, and so his female counterpart seduces Adam. But that would pre- suppose first, that Lucifer is Satan, and second, that Satan had succeeded in mating with Eve. So which is the true version? What really lies behind these modern versions of the ancient Lilith legend? Is she based upon a real person? Just who was this Lilith? We may be able to shed some light on this dark figure: In the older tales she is "The Night Hag" who haunts men in their sleep as a succubus--extracting their seed, it is said, in order to produce a race of "Lilem" or astral beings that serve her as an army of the night. Now that is one of the Lilith myths you won't often hear at feminist rallies. All sources agree that she was originally in some sense a contemporary of Adam. And she is said to be his equal or in some stories, an angel. She could shape-shift like an angel and become a "beautiful woman" or a fowl of the air. Still, she also is described as human like Adam, but claiming some sort of superiority to Eve. It all seems very confusing. The clue comes in the rabbinical legends that make her the sister/mate of Lucifer. If we can identify Lucifer, we might be able to discover more about Lilith. Lucifer is called the brother of Diana by wiccans. That makes Lilith and Diana apparently identical. So Lilith may share Diana's role as the Huntress of the Night, goddess of the Moon. That certainly fits Lilith, who was well-known as the Jewish version of the patroness of witches. The root "LIL" in "LILith" is also a link to Lucifer, who was called the "ILLuminated One." We can still find in our language many "LIL"/"ILL" associations. Her brother Lucifer, the 'light-bringer' is supposedly a god of the sun, but his light is really considered an inner light, or "ILLumination." He is identical to Prometheus, or "Forethought" (actually, this name means to act "before one thinks"--that is, on instinct, or by "inspiration") in the Greek myths about the one who is punished for bringing fire (ie, psychic "ILLumination") to mankind. The ONLY Biblical text (Is 14:12) that mentions "Lucifer" is referring in the Hebrew to a human being named "H'ILL" or "The ILL" (meaning "The ILLumined One"). The actual name is "H'ILL." "Lucifer" is a LATIN TRANSLATION of the meaning of the Hebrew name "H'ILL" or "The ILLumined One." So there is NO ONE named "Lucifer" at all; his name is "H'ILL"--and that itself is not really a name, but a DESCRIPTION of a MAN who has the odd characteristic of SHINING or GLOWING. Nowhere does the text identify this person as Satan or even an angel as such. It is a text about the King of Babylon at the time of the end of this age, and it expressly calls "Lucifer" or "H'ILL" a "MAN" (Is 14:16): "Is this ["Lucifer"] the MAN who made the nations tremble?" If "H'ILL/Lucifer" is the HUSBAND of LILith--as Israeli Rabbi Herzl Rosenblum of Tel Aviv insists--then Isaiah is prophesying about LILith's mate appearing at the end of the age and ascending "above the stars...above the heights of the clouds..." {Is 14:13,14) [The new 'Original Bible' text of Isaiah by Dr. James D. Tabor intimates the existence of LILith with H'ILL/Lucifer in Is 14; he renders his mate as, "the exactress of gold"--a detail Zechariah Sitchin fans will find familiar.] If LILith's mate--H'ILL/Lucifer is expected to appear at the end of this age, could she also make an appearance? Is she just a woman? How could LILith and H'ILL be people in ancient legend, yet show up in the latter days? Are they time-travellers? Or is Rabbi Rosenblum right when he says they are both angels after all? Just who was "H'ILL"? The Sumerians wrote of an "EnLIL"--the "ILLumined One" or the "One who Shines." The words "ILLustrious" or "ILLumine" or "ILLustrate" or "ILLusion" or "WILLful" or "ILL" are just a few that may preserve memory of his name or title and the reputation he developed. We still speak of "an ILL wind" in the sense of "an EVIL wind," for example. The basic account about the devil is that he caused Adam and Eve to lose immortality. If he were the cause of death, then the devil was responsible for all the "ILLs" that lead to death. Among his Hebrew names are "SatanIL" and "SamIL." The root "SAM-" means "poison"--that is, something that was known to cause "ILLness" and death. Whether used as word by itself, or as a prefix or suffix, "IL/ILL" became a common identification of the "Devil," the source of "evIL" and the death to which it leads. Because "Lucifer" is really just a Latin translation of "H'ILL"--"The ILLumined One"--or "The Light-bearing One," it appears that "ILL" began as the word signifying "ILLumination" and later became identified with the concept of "ILLness" and "evIL" as a secondary meaning. It may even go back to a proper name of some primordial or angelic being, that is, his original identifying name. The "H'ILL" may have been his name, or a word to link someone --a human--to him: "He who is of ILL" or even "Son of ILL." His sister LILith has also left her name in the language. The root "LIL" may be added to by various feminine endings: "LILah, LILette, LOLita, LOLa, LILina, LILy, DeLILah, etc." The "LIL" means she glows pale white, the color of death and plague, or the pale white of the MOON. The myth of the white female unicorn, the "virgin" who violently resists any man ruling her, may be a key to Lilith. The unicorn is said to be a very dangerous creature, not the sweet innocent pony of children's cartoons. The unicorn is sacred to LILith, but she is not really a virgin herself--except in the technical sense that she has never really been in love with any man. She has sex only for utilitarian purposes, not because she has any natural affection for men. According to the histories or legends of the Sumerians, EnLIL (and his sister-wife "NIN-HUR-SAG") fled the earth at the time of the Deluge. Fear of drowning seems rather human for gods or even angels, although demonic beings are said to be unable to pass through water and are supposedly thereby able to attain "rest" inside human and animal bodies, which are largely made of water. Water, then, might also serve to trap or imprison such beings--for example, beneath the floor of the sea. The Biblical tradition says the Nephilim or "Fallen Ones" were on the earth before the Flood and afterwards, but they appear to be missing during the Flood. They were the elite "Mighty Ones" or "men of renown" who are called "giants" and who were the offspring of the "Sons of God" or Fallen Angels who raped women. A spirit who has sex with a woman was also known as an Incubus, the male counter-part of the Succubus, which was the role traditionally accorded LILith. Thus, the Incubus would be Lucifer or H'ILL. It appears the confusion about the nature of LILith may relate to her dual nature, part woman, part angel. She may be the offspring of a Fallen Angel, inheriting characterics of both her parents. That would mean her brother Lucifer or H'ILL is also a hybrid--son of a Fallen Angel and an earthly mother. The rabbis have such a story. The union resulted in two offspring: male and female twins. The old rabbinical tale involves the angel "Samael," who ruled the 5th heaven, that is, the house of Aries, which is ruled by Mars as a rising star. Samael left Mars and came to the earth where he encountered Eve in the Garden. As an Incubus, he fathered Cain and Cain's twin sister, "LULuwa," by Eve. The Hebrew ending "-uwa" means "of Eve" or simply "a woman." It is similar to "-ith" in LILith. In Hebrew, "LIL-ith" and "LIL-uwa" have the same basic meaning. The Jewish legend about Cain and his sister LULuwa or LILith implies that Cain is Lucifer, the shining one, the light-bearer, H'ILL. Was Cain known to "shine" or "glow"? Could he inherit some kind of angelic "ILLumination" from his legendary father Samael? It seems he may. Genesis twice states, in the Hebrew of chapter 4, that Cain "GLOWED GREATLY, and his countenance fell" after God failed to react to his sacrifice offering in the same dramatic way He had to Abel's [See our article on "THE JAWS OF DEATH" via the link below]. The Genesis 4 Hebrew word meaning to "shine" or "glow" is the root of such words as "horn" and "corn" and "crown." It is used of Moses after he comes down from the mountain, and his face "shown" so that the Israelites could not look upon him. That is a bright light. And Genesis says Cain's face "glowed GREATLY"--which signifies a VERY bright light. The word caused some readers confusion. It can also be rendered as "had horns" and Moses is often shown with horns because of this. Some rabbis felt Cain had a horn growing out of his forehead--like a unicorn...that is, like LILith. Other stories had Cain given two horns as the "mark" which God put on his forehead to protect him. It is for the same reason that Lucifer and his father Satan are depicted with horns; as "shining ones," they could also be considered as having horns due to the dual meaning of the Hebrew word. After fathering Cain and Liltih, Samael was given a name we are more familiar with: Satan, the "One who Sits as Judge or Accuses." The idea is that, having been caught defiling Eve, he began accusing all humans of sin to make his offense seem less serious by comparison. He became the Prosecutor of the human race. In the New Testament Christian writings, Jesus is placed in the alternative role of Defense Attorney; John says, "We have an ADVOCATE before the Father, even Jesus Christ, the Righteous." The Messiah or Christ is contrasted with Satan and Lucifer, his son, the False Christ, the spirit of Cain, who killed Abel, the type of Christ, the Good Shepherd. In all these parallels the ancient rivalry between Cain and the true sons of Adam, Abel and Seth, and later Jesus, is meant to convey the sense of a cosmic struggle between two family lines: The legitimate one from Adam and the illegitimate one from Samael/Satan. These two genetic streams became mixed at the time of Noah, Genesis says. So the two DNA types are supposedly intertwined in all of us to a greater or lesser degree. Jesus seems to refer to this idea frequently. He speaks of "the (human) seed planted by God" and "the seed sown by the evil one." He says the two will grow up together until the last days when the wheat will be divided from the chaff, which would signify that the nutritious part of the wheat would be divided from the indigestible part in each grain. Jesus acknowledged that the descendents of Abraham (as He was Himself through Mary) could also be "sons of your father the devil...who was a MURDERER from the beginning." In the Hebrew usage, the phrase "from the beginning" was how Jews referred to the book of Genesis. So Jesus was saying that the "devil" fathered human offspring and "was a MURDERER in the book of Genesis." The "MURDERER" in Genesis, of course, was Cain. Jesus indicated that Cain was not merely "a" devil, but THE devil, the evil one. Cain literally embodied Satan in some way and the way Jesus is indicating is biological. Satan was Cain's father, in other words. John, in his first epistle, all but asserts this openly. He says, "In this, the CHILDREN of God are manifest and the CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL...For this is the message which you have heard FROM THE BEGINNING [ie IN GENESIS] that we should love one another, NOT AS CAIN, who was OF THAT WICKED ONE and slew his brother...[1 Jn 3:10-12]" The expression "OF THAT WICKED ONE" in Greek is the standard way of indicating sonship, that is, that Cain was the SON OF the Wicked One, which would here mean that Cain was the son of Satan. LILith was not only Cain/Lucifer's sister; she became his wife as well. As soon as Cain is exiled to the east of Eden and therefore toward Jordan and the Euphrates Valley of what is now Iraq, Genesis says "he knew his wife" and she brought forth a son. So Genesis indicates Cain had a sister his age (which must have been c.13 because it seems the time of his exile was also the first time he had sex with his wife and that she was also exiled with him). In the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrpha, her name is LULuwa, and she becomes his wife. [See "The Second Book of ADAM & EVE," chapter I, verse 6.] It is also implied that the two had animosity toward each other ["The First Book of ADAM & EVE," ch LXXIV, vs 6-8]. It is well known that Lilith is the Hebrew version of Isis, but few realize that the word used for Cains' "wife" in Genesis 4 is "ISh'T" which became "Auset" in Egyptian and "Isis" in Greek. Cains' "wife" IS Isis, ie Lilith. Like lilith, Isis is reckoned "Queen of the witches" and kills and kidnaps babies, and rules without a man. Now we see these twins BOTH exiled, and as twins, BOTH must have been "shining" with the same notorious glow, and possibly BOTH had been cursed with horns, as BOTH struggled to survive and not be killed. Genesis even implies that it is possible for Cain to be killed and revive, for Cain says "EVERY ONE that finds me will slay me," as if they can kill him more than once. There is a mark put on his forehead to prevent anyone from killing Cain. The notion that Cain could be killed repeatedly and then revive is akin to the Highlander legend. The idea is that an Immortal can experience the pain and agony of death, but will not succumb. Cain seemed to fear he might become some sort of pitiful creature used for target practice, but who could not die permanently. There are several ancient tales about cursed men who cannot die, including a whole series of stories surrounding Jesus. In one, Judas is revived after he hangs himself and becomes a "good" vampire who is still living today [See our link to the "ISCARIOT" page below]. But the classic ancient tale of this kind is Prometheus. After bringing enlightenment or fire to mankind, he was then punished by God and 'CHAINED TO A ROCK' where he CANNOT DIE, but is continually having his liver eaten by a GRYPHON: This was a mutant angelic beast which had been fed human children in its "youth." The word "G'R'Ph'ON" derives from Ch'R'B or Cherub. Satan is called a "cherub" in Ezekiel 28. Thus, it appears Prometheus was being eaten by a cherub, which may be Satan himself. The "cherub" was NOT a cute baby angel, but a four-faced dragon-like being of grim disposition. Prometheus is the brother of Epimetheus ("after-thought" or "one who acts after thinking." The primal brother was linked with the fallen angel in this version of the Genesis story. He is punished by God for his rash act. God exiles him to a "ROCK"--which in the Greek original was the word "PETRA." As we have shown elsewhere, Adam and Eve were in fact exiled to Petra. It seems the Greek legend has mixed Adam, H'ILL/Cain and Satan together in one story, for all sinned, were exiled, and brought "enlightenment" to man. The monstrous "Gryphon" is a devouring cherub, as was Satan, who is said to go about the world as a raging lion, seeking those whom he may devour. The lion was one of the four "faces" of the cherub. The "K'R'B" root in Egyptian language was used to describe a Scarabeus-like beetle that was the symbol for light on the eastern horizon and also their zodiacal sign for Scorpio. Even the word "SCORPIO" breaks down into "S-K'oR'P-io" or "s-K'R'B-io"; a "K'R'B" or cherub. Scorpio is, of course, the sign of Death, and hence, of Satan. In rabbinical astrology, Scorpio is the sign of Dan, the serpent by the pathway. But there was an even earlier tradition of the heavens among the Hebrews. Josephus says Seth, the son of Adam, named the stars and his sons formed a priesthood that kept charts of the heavens. If we look at the structure of the sky, we see six sets of male and female signs. Each pair of signs relates to an ancient form of human work: Aries and Taurus are both Herding signs, for example. Aquarius and Pisces are Fishing signs. Scorpio and Libra were once one giant Scorpion related to Farming, Cain's occupation. In the earliest form of the zodiac, then, it seems Scorpio and Libra represented Cain and his wife LULuwa or LILith. Its key star, Antares ("Substitute for Mars"), was placed symbolically on the breastplate of the High Priest in the form of an amethyst, whose color is VIOLET, the favorite color of LILith--the color of combined RED AND BLUE BLOOD. The Greek story of Prometheus includes CANNIBALISM and subtle references to MUTANT CHERUBS that feed on humanity. In one sense, Prometheus is chained to PETRA, but in other ways of looking at it, he is chained to the planet. Satan is said in Genesis to be "cursed" to go on his "belly" ON THE EARTH. In Revelation, Satan is CAST DOWN TO THE EARTH from his "place" in heaven. The Prometheus story clearly was composed in a poetic way, with multiple meanings. He is Cain, the ILLumined brother, exiled and condemned to be tormented, but not die. His torment comes from the cherub Satan who, in effect, is gnawing away inside him. There is even a hint of his Satanic nature having driven him to eat Abel's flesh in his youth. [See THE JAWS OF DEATH.] If Cain inherited some degree of "immortality" from his father Satan, then his twin sister LILith might also. Even without such genetic advantages, Seth's sons seem to live to great ages approaching 1000 "years" [We will discuss the use of the term rendered "year" in Genesis another time]. What many people overlook is that the Bible nowhere states how long Cain and his offspring lived or when or if every one of them died. Although those ON THE EARTH would have drowned in the kind of global Deluge described in Genesis, there is indication in the Bible and other ancient writings that SOME of Cain's line--and Cain/H'ILL himself--survived the Deluge by LEAVING THE EARTH and coming back afterwards. It is said the CHIEF of the Nephilim, the offspring of Cain's line, was named "H'LEL" [R. Saadaiah, "Polemic Against Hiwi Al Balkhi," pp. 64-66 (9th century)], which is essentially the same name as "H'ILL" in Isaiah 14. The CHIEF Nephilim, that is, the one who was the heir, or the FIRSTBORN of Satan, would have been Cain if he had been still living, as the name "H'LEL" suggests he was. The text states that this "HeLEL" had gone away before the Flood and had returned to the earth to build the Tower of Babel [To understand why he was building giant megalithic structures, see our article "MEGALITHS & BLOOD"]. If Cain survived the Flood by leaving the earth, then it seems LILith may have also. She certainly had capabilities that could have saved her. The legends attribute the power of shape-shifting to LILith. As the offspring of an angel, she should have had such abilities. Angels are said to be able to disguise themselves as ordinary-looking humans, or to manifest as "angels of light" when they choose. LILith was said to turn into a bird as well as a beautiful woman-- which implies she was not so attractive in her natural form. The expression "Night Hag" is hers, but so is "Night Mary," the origin of our word "nightmare"--originally meaning the experience of a man waking up to find a Succubus (ie LILith) on top of him. It is conceivable that "Night Mary" may still be showing herself to susceptible individuals, arrayed as a beautiful woman, glowing with light. Many such reports exist. Most of the cases, in spite of what one might expect, do not say the woman identifies herself. Instead, she appears to let the local observers identify her. Sometimes she is called a nymph or goddess. Sometimes she prophesies doom. She likes to change her shape and form in front of witnesses. One of her favorite forms is that of the owl, which can be seen flanking her on ancient Sumerian reliefs. As the first "wise woman" or witch of the night, LILith was also Minerva or Athena, the warrior virgin goddess of wisdom-- famous for prophecy and her affinity for owls. "Athena" means "Lady" and she was known as "The Virgin" and her temple in Athens, the Parthenon, was dedicated to "The Lady Virgin." She was much sought for her prophecies and wisdom as well as her military prowess. LILith often asks shrines to be built around the site of a spring or fountain where she appears. Pilgrims are then invited to come and drink the waters. Haunted outflows of deep-rock springs are thought to harbor spiritual entities. Shrines are usually enclosed in darkness. Thus, beings can come up from the earth and enter the pilgrims without ever risking exposure to sunlight. Because these spirits might have power to create "signs" and some types of healing, the public is often eager to ingest these "miraculous" waters. The Bible and many other ancient traditions warn of spirit beings trapped under the earth where such waters originate. [Note Rev 9:1-11] LILith as Healer/Wise Woman is the Patron of Witches, a "white" witch who uses her "powers" for healing. But she also THREATENS people with horrible punishments who refuse to obey her. One strange feature of modern apparitions is that many of them occur just before terrible local calamities, most of which are man-made (ie wars, persecutions, etc.). The "prophecies" seem to be connected to man-made punishments, rather than divine wrath from above. LILith seems to have an affinity for armies. So common were her military manifestations, the Greeks portrayed her in full battle armour. Even today, there are reports of an apparition of a female entity in front of U.S. soldiers in Haiti. In the late 11th century, a monk named Bernard was given detailed instructions by a female apparition who appeared in southern France. She had him create an army of knights who would take vows of chastity. They became the Templars, men who were famous for their violent and bloody warfare during the Crusades, but later were accused of employing witchcraft and engaging in sodomy. They were said to have later become occultists and dispensed with their vows, for the most part. The area of southern France from which the Templars and their leaders were derived had ancient links to the royal family of Herod, whose mother was a princess from Petra. In 39 AD, Herod Antipas was exiled to this area of France with his wife Herodias, a great granddaughter of Petra and Esau's royal line, the woman who asked for John the Baptist's head to be served to her on a dinner platter. Herodias' cannibalistic request includes her OWNERSHIP of the skull of John the Baptist. This very skull is said to have become the single most sacred relic owned by the heads of the Templars. How did they INHERIT the skull of John the Baptist, if not from Herodias? It would be appropriate, then, if LILith chose Herodias' heirs as the core of her special virgin army of very violent human unicorns, the Templars. If LILith launched all these Crusader wars, it explains centuries of monstrous bloodshed. LILith, it seems, is notorius for her lust for power, her deceitful apparitions, her changing into a beautiful woman, and her desire to dominate men and scare children. Is it possible she is the False Prophet of Revelation? The Greek does NOT say it is a man, even though translators have assumed so. But one major clue is that this Prophet will "cause" the world to UNITE POLITICALLY AND MILITARILY and to adopt a GLOBAL SYSTEM OF MONEY EXCHANGE (the "Mark of the Beast"). It will also "cause" a GLOBAL RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION of Christians who refuse to submit. There are dozens of warnings about false prophets who perform "signs and wonders" as the end nears. And Jesus especially warns about false prophets who seek to "alarm" Christians by talk of "WARS and RUMORS [WARNINGS] OF WARS." Jesus told the Apostles to "Take heed that no one [not even LILith] deceive you...for [before the end of the age comes] ...false prophets...shall show great signs and wonders, in- somuch that, if possible, they may deceive the very elect." That is, even top church leaders could fall into deception BECAUSE OF THE MIRACLES. The Bible says a False Prophet will do "great wonders so that [she?] makes fire come down from heaven...in the sight of men, and deceives those who dwell on the earth by those miracles [she?] had power to do...and causes all who would not worship [as she? comands] to be killed."[Rev. 13:11-15] LILith loves to deceive, to trick, to change her shape and make people do her will. That is the common theme of every ancient story about LILith. Given the legends about her, LILith could even become the deceiver of the Church Jesus spoke of: The one we may one day call, "The False Prophetess." If we are now approaching the predicted end of the age, then we should already be seeing the False Prophet--or the False Prophetess--prophesying right out in the open, while performing signs and wonders and deceiving Christians on a global scale. In this connection, many males who claim abduction by a UFO describe a sexual assault by a "beautiful alien woman." Most people dismiss these accounts, but in light of global LILith stories of a similar nature, it might be wise if we took the reports by these terrified men more seriously. If the LILith legends are linked to modern UFO abductions and "signs & wonders" seen in the heavens, then it becomes very relevant that many abductees claim to have dire "prophecies" of global wars and ecological catastrophes given to them by their alleged aliens. The UFO abductions bear many similarites with the older LILith accounts. LILith would carry off her victims in the night. Like the aliens, many would never return. She was said to drink human blood and eat her victims, and the same is often reported being done by aliens seen by the abductee witnesses or other non-abductee witnesses--not to mention the reports of cattle mutilations and associated UFO's. A disturbingly large number of children are involved in these abductions by LILith and by UFO's. The stories of LILith and UFO's both involve shape-shifting and inter-dimmensional phenomena. Sexual agression by aliens is common in witness tales as in the LILith legends. Both use sleep paralysis to immobilize victims. Both prophesy. Both occasionally perform "healings" and leave behind scars. Both use terror as a weapon of control. Both employ hypnotic trances. In fact, the similarities are so striking that there are serious medical researchers who think they are really both the same phenomenon, which they attribute to disturbances in the brain during sleep paralysis. But like LILith, UFO's also frequently are said to abduct people who are are awake, not in bed, albeit alone in locales with few witnesses. Even in the dream state, people report aliens giving them prophetic warnings and other messages. LILith did the same. As Diana or Athena, for example, she often appeared in dream form. Diana gave Brutus the order to go to Britain after he fled Troy when she appeared to him in a dream. Athena was the patroness of prophecy because of all her dream warnings. Those rabbis who classed LILith as an "angel" were actually calling her a "messenger" spirit, ie. a prophetic being. Some people are now claiming Princess Diana is appearing to them or in their dreams and giving them prophecies. The similar nature of the dream messages to UFO warnings may be a clue to the true nature of these reports. It appears the activities of LILith don't change; only her "name" seems to vary. In the end, all these phenomena can just as easily be classed under the ancient banner of LILith. [Lilith's UFO's: See MEGALITHS & BLOOD link below.] HERE'S AN ANCIENT SUMERIAN IMAGE OF LILITH:
