The Story of Lilith

Today we discussed the story of Lilith. This is a addition to the Gen 1-3 creation story that says Lilith was created first, and Eve came afterwards. We looked at the different retellings of this story and their differences. The older story is not as kind to Lilith as the newer one. We also looked at the depiction of Lilith in historical relicts. There are traditions that have families trying to capture the spirt of Lilith in order to protect their children.
