For 4,000 years, the name of the female ghost "Lilith" has wandered the Earth, becoming a source of mythic imagination for writers, artists, and poets.

Its dark origins lie in Babylonian demonology, where the name Lilith was a sort of "banshee" or "she-vampire,"

a bloodsucker of children, a terror to pregnant mothers and children.

This Lilith banshee became the subject of amulets and incantations used to ward off her evil powers.

The legend of Lilith later migrated to the ancient Hittite, Egyptian, Israelite, and Greek worlds.

The name Lilith appears only once in the Bible, as the name for an "owl" or an allegory of a "wilderness demoness" shunned by the prophet Isaiah.

The Greeks had a similar concept, honoring the - EMPOUTA, female ghosts, and this idea was also related to Roman tales that honored "Lamice" and "Striges."

Arab legends spoke of "Ghules," which they described as female ghosts living in the desert, tearing men to pieces.

In the Middle Ages, in Ashkenazi Jewish legend, the name Lilith reappeared as the terrifying first wife of Adam.

a. LILITH - FEMALE GHOST

There were Jewish people, except for the Sadducees, who believed in the existence of "spirits."

And the "spirits" referred to are not the spirits of the dead but demons in the form of human-like creatures.

Jews, according to the Babylonian Talmud Megilla, were forbidden to greet their friends at night because they feared that they might greet "לִילִית" - "LILIT,"

a female ghost or banshee that typically appeared at night.
