Join us on Wednesday, January 13, 8 p.m. for a virtual lecture on &quot;Lilith: Daughter of Heaven or Succubus?&quot; with Dr. James Rietveld a &quot;Pay What You Wish&quot; event:Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/129193165235/One of the most controversial religious figures of both Antiquity and today is that of Lilith, understood as so many different identities dependent upon the culture and era, as she frequently evolves from one kind of being to another. For the Sumerians and Babylonians, Lilith was the “Daughter of Heaven” closely associated with the Goddess Inanna, while for the Assyrians and early Israelites, she was primarily a water elemental spirit. By the eighth to tenth centuries CE, Lilith evolved into Adam’s first wife, arising from the very same dust as Adam when she was created in contrast to being fashioned from Adam’s rib as was the case of Eve. Yet, Lilith will abandon Adam for the Archangel Samael. Lilith will also be depicted in Ancient and Medieval Jewish literature as everything from a monster and serpent to a succubus, draining away the life-force of unsuspected men as they sleep. Together we will explore the complexity of Lilith, unraveling some of her mysteries, which often open up new questions that often defy explanation.Dr. James D.
