'''Lilith''' is the [[Sumerian]] [[fertility]] [[goddess]] considered to be a [[demon]] or [[succubus]] in [[Jewish]] [[Mythology]]. She was a goddess of agriculture, motherhood and fertility for both men and women. Often refered to as Lilitu or Lilit and frequently believed to also have been a wind goddess.
In the [[ben Sira]] version of the [[Bible]] Lilith is the first wife of [[Adam]] (before [[Eve]]) and she is leaves [[Eden]] in a metaphorical version of [[divorce]]. This is because she refuses to be subservient and believes that both she and Adam were made from the earth and were equal. After she leaves Eden she is transformed into a succubus and [[cursed]] by [[God]] to never find [[love]] because her kisses suck the life out of mortal men.{{citation needed}}
In Greek legend Lilith is the goddess of the black moon (or the new moon), not to be confused with [[Artemis]] the goddess of the full moon or [[Hecate]] the goddess of the crescent moon.{{citation needed}}
