    Another interesting factoid about Lilith is that, during the Middle Ages, she started being identified as the Queen of demons, and thus as the wife of Asmodeus, their king.

    • @ParanormalEncyclopedia
      @ParanormalEncyclopedia Před rokem +20

      No she was originally the mother of demons. The first wife of Adam myth is the one that started in the Middle Ages. Her origins as a demon go back before Judaism to the earlier references to demons called lilitu in Babylonian demonology.

      @@ParanormalEncyclopedia while her role as a mother or matriarch was older, I was referring to her encapsulation in the legends regarding the King of Demons Asmodeus, who already appeared in talmudic tradition. This role as his consort was mantained by Lilith in many jewish folk tales.

    During my studies concerning the Lilith plaque I noticed a a few things about it, first it’s quite beautiful, then the symbolism within it, the two Owls represent the two pillars on the tree of life, owls in this case representing Death and Wisdom, also karma, one cannot escape Death, it’s inescapable, time, Cronos, Saturn. Her arms Open, meaning Her openness to All, Her wings Air: meaning Mind, very mercurial. Her headdress a symbol of Power, the Horns as Dualism but worn on Her to reconcile That duality (middle Pillar on the Tree of Life) the Circle and Rods representing Male and Female in a sexual sense (creation) also subject and object, the docile Lions showing that existence, one’s lower mind can be not just overcome, but under One’s Rulership, and what of Her mysterious Smile? Its for Her to know and us to find out! I’ve left out so many other things but I thought I’d share. Blessed Be Lady of the Library! Oh! Yes She is Ishtar and many other Goddess’ too, She is the Mother of All. 🌹

    Lilith was one of the best books I ever read. It puts you in this dark surreal headspace that I only experienced with one other work, Phantastes, also by MacDonald.
    Loved this video, thank you for your channel!

    Hi I'm new to the channel and I had to come and say that your voice is amazing. Do you voice act?? Because I'm sure you'd be phenomenal at it! Voice acting or possibly reading books on audible? Very cool channel btw!

    Lol my black cat's name is Lillith. I'm listening to this Halloween morning & she's just on the "laying an egg" looking so content, alert, yet peaceful since hearing her name from the speaker so many times. It's as if she's going,"*Relieved sigh* finally they're telling my story..let's see if they actually got it right this time.."😹😹😹 HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y'ALL!! 🖤🧡🖤🧡

    One thing that I find curious about Lilith's Myths, at least the ones that pertain to The Adam and Eve related Versions... She Chose to Leave the Garden herself, she wasn't Cast out, So technically that makes her the ONE Human to not have been burdened with the "Original Sin". Yet Somehow, despite her literally being the only Human ever that ISN'T a Sinner, she's the one that's Depicted as Evil somehow? It feels like a Contradiction to me. (Or at least she wasn't until she started Doing that whole "I'll Take and Kill every Child that isn't Mine!!!" thing for no apparent reason... Like are we meant to expect that she's Resentful towards Adam OR Eve for HER Choice to Leave the garden? I honestly don't get her Motivation here if we look at the story in a self contained way... I've Heard of Jealous Exes, but this seems like a bit much of an overreaction, no?)
    I know the Reason is because she was something Akin to a Demon in the Texts and Mythologies that predated Judaism and from which she was taken, but it still seems odd that her Being a demon or Evil Entity is just Taken for Granted despite her only action Within Judaic/Christian Texts alone was to receive that treatment was to just say "No, I won't Submit myself to you in Bed, if you wanna do it, we'll do it as Equals Side by Side!" (Then Adam went "But DAAAAAAD, she doesn't want to Choose to Subjugate herself to me! Make her!", and God Kinda went "Sorry Buddy, you're my Favorite and all and I'd like to help you, but all I can do is Ask her Nicely, Because I gave her free will just like I did you, except she's actually using it instead of being Blindly obedient..."). It feels like they Just Assumed that everyone would have the "Pop Culture" Knowledge of who she's meant to be without actually Including that information in the text... I know it's a thing in Archeology, where The Less is Written down about a Given Mythological Figure the more likely that it was just Common Knowledge that they figured they didn't Need to write it down because everybody already knew it, Like Kukulkan/Quetzalquatl in Mezoamerican Myths... But still!
    Also, as a note to the host in the video. I Like how when she Paraphrases Lilith's actions she's Doing it from the Modern Feminist Perspective of the story where Lilith is just Choosing to not be Taken down by a man (The Change in Speaking style and voice was also a nice touch)... It's Kinda Refreshing to hear it said that way in these kinds of Videos, Usually other Mythology Vids Go out of their way to REALLY Vilify Every little thing Lilith Does, even when she's Basically just Refusing to get "R Worded" (to be Clear, I like that she's doing it differently, and wit a bit of humor, the other dudes doing the vilification thing are also kinda needed for perspective on this Demonic Character)... The Level of Detail about Basically EVERY Version of the Character that we have access to was also nice, Many Vids like these will do a Resumed Unified Version of her stories that just kinda Pretends that everyone in history agreed to a singular Narrative for the character, Rather than presenting the various versions, This style is much more useful for the purposes of actually learning the Myhs! I also heard a few details about her Myths that I had never heard before here, and the small things can matter a lot when trying to make sense of ancient myths.

    Another interesting take on the creation myth, with Caine and Lilith, comes in the form of the Table Top RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade. I'd love to see you do a video on that. In that setting, instead putting a mark on Caine, God turns him into the first vampire (It's eluded to later, that God just might be a vampire, or blood god). Caine is sent into exile, and on his way, meets Lilith, Adam's first wife, now ex. She has become the Mother of Demons (much like the other myths surrounding her), and to spite both God and Adam, teaches him how to use the blood for various uses, called Disciplines. They become lovers, but have a falling out, Caine goes on his merry way, founds the city of Enoch and the first vampires, which get wiped out in the flood, and then creates 13 more after that, which become the clans you can choose to create your character from. The lore is absolutely epic.
