Vampires: Lilith

Lilith

According to Jewish texts, Lilith was the first woman created for Adam.

    27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
        created he him; male and female created he them.
    28. And God blessed them and God said unto them, Be fruitful and
        multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it.
    

Many have made her a model for feminists because when Adam demanded her to be on the bottom while they, umm sleep, she refused. After Adam persisted, she became very angry and screamed the holy name of God and then disappeared to be cast out of Eden. God then made Eve for Adam from his rib bone instead of making her like Lilith from wholly dust. By doing this Eve would be attached to Adam. Lilith went to the Red Sea. There she made a deal with the Angels that were sent to retrieve her that she would stay where she was and become the mother to all demons. She is said to be allowed to kill infants up to 7 days after birth unless they had a charm with the names of the angels over the child’s sleeping place. This is also said to be the religious reason for sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS. The reason she kills the infants is in retaliation for the thousands of her offspring that were killed in the war of good versus evil.
