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.

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