Lilith - the first vampire

Lilith was the first vampire, as I see it, and that is why I chose to write about her now. I just found out about her. She is a very interesting "person", and there is a long story and myth behind her.

When God a long long time ago had created the world, and the Garden of Eden, he created Adam, and at the same time he created Adams first wife, Lilith, out of dust. There was a lot of trouble about her from the beginning.. God and Adam wanted Lilith to be under them, but she wanted to stand beside them and be equal. She denied to lie under Adam when mating. When they wouldn´t accept this, she went away from them, to the Earth. God sent 3 angels out to bring her back. They found her at the Red Sea, where she kept a lot of demons as her lovers, and she gave birth to over 100 demons each day. These demons were vampires, werewolfes and demons like them. So the angels told her, that she should come back to Eden. If she didn´t, they would kill her babies, her demons. But she told them, that even that was better than returning to the Garden. She stayed at the Earth, and God created Eve to Adam. Eve gave birth to Gods children, the common people in the world. Lilith gave birth to the vampires and demons. She promised then to kill children because the angels killed her babies. Only children with an amulet with the names of the three angels, wouldn´t be killed. Lilith then stole and killed the children and drank their blood, and it is bye this she was the first vampire in the world. She is mentioned in the Bible, Esaja 34:14.

Lilith was only the beginning. Her family grew quick and big, and spread through the whole world. In the ancient Rome they feared Lamia, who was Liliths little sister, a femme fatale who got young men to fall in love with her, and then she would kill them and drink their blood. In the ancient Greek she was also called Lamia or Striga, who was a black bird which flies at night and seek children whos blood it can drink. Lilith is often pictured with wings on her back, as a bird. On the picture below she also has feet like an owl.

I like to see Lilith as a godess of the ancient world. She is much older than christianity. But then that religion came, and didn´t like Lilith, so they made her a demon - she is the mother of all demons, especially the vampires.
