Description The Mother and Queen of all Demons, according to many biblical and prophetical scripts...

Stock Used >> [link] . Many thanks to Lady Morgana - [link] - who's infinite talent and ethereal beauty helped to sculpt this. I wanted to give something back to her in return for the inspiration she has gifted to many with, and the title of Lilith seemed fitting for her...she is a beautiful female demon who is also called the "Night Monster", and has a tendency to strangle little chil;dren and seduce men before destroying them... as a name, Lilith from the Arabic translation means "storm goddess". In Jewish traditions, Lilith was created with Adam from the dust of the earth, & became his first wife. She was stubborn, though, & refused to be subservient to her husband. Instead of becoming Adam's servant, she left him & was turned out of Paradise. However, before God created Eve, He sent 3 angels to try to convince Lilith to return to Adam. She refused, & God cursed her by sentencing 100 of her offspring to die each day. After her expulsion from Paradise, however, she slept once more with Adam, & bore the Shedim, Lilin, & Rauchin. The Alphabet of Ben Sira contains the first cohesive story of this. This text is dated somewhere between the 8th & 10th cent. CE, and its place within Jewish midrash has been debated. It is mistakenly thought that Lilith's name was derived from the Hebrew word lailah, which means 'night.' This was probably derived from the similarity of the two words, and the idea that Lilith was mostly active at night.

my msn name is lillith_night....i didnt noe who she was untill recently....but my theory was, because of the jewish testament. is that she is mother earth..it says in the book that god created her from the dust because the earth asked "who was going to look after her children". but she wasnt allowed to be with adam so she was sent to wander the earth....

Awesome work! Love the theme, as I am a huge fan of art concerning Lilith. I've done a lot of research on her as well.

Very lovely. I rather enjoy your art. I also enjoy reading about the one whom I am named after. Just for reference, they fought because Lilith wanted to be treated as an equal and not a lesser being, Adam thought differently, and he struck her. As for the three angels, aye, they did strike a bargain with her. She was not to harm children if a medallion with the names of the three angels hung above or from their bed. I just realised something, I do too much research and not enough art. lol Keep up the good work love. I think you are a grand artist.

i like it, a lot good textures, nice dark idea, i think you could really elaborate on the lilith idea.
Lilith and Adam actually fought over who was going to be on top when they had sex and thats where the idea that she would submit to him came from, when the three angels were sent to lilith and tried to make her return, they made an agreement with her instead, that she could do what she wanted (as in not return) but she could not slay any children with the names of the angels.
It was said that her and her co-horts came in the night as incubbi and succubi to sleep with adam and eve and led her to concieve evil children (cain) etc.
