Lilith is supposedly Adam's first wife. I found out about her in my exploring of the original texts that were around at the time of Christ and before. Since I kept on being told I can't be a Christian as my views were 'new age' and therefore Satanic in origin... what a load of baloney that turned out to be.

The idea in the text that Adam had a wife prior to Eve may have developed from an interpretation of the Book of Genesis and its dual creation accounts; while Genesis 2:22 describes God's creation of Eve from Adam's rib, an earlier passage, 1:27, already indicates that a woman had been made: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Lilith claims that since she and Adam were created in the same way they were equal and she refuses to submit to him:...."
