I’ve seen lots of mixed ideas about who she was. From what I’ve read she is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah. I got a lot of my info I know about her from this Video it’s a great watch if you haven’t seen it check it out.

So here’s what I understand about her.

Most sources credit her as an entity is the best word I can think to us. in Jewish and Mesopotamian beliefs and not Christian.

However some translations of Isaiah 34:14 she is mentioned with serveral explanations of what she is supposed to be.

Is there anything I got wrong or anything else I should know any help is great thank you!

    She’s pretty cool and got demonized for all the wrong reasons. The midrash is an interesting place to start, and iirc, the Esoterica channel on YouTube has something about her, but I could be mistaken.

    Lilithfest is named after her.

    Those translations are, IIUC, choosing to preserve “Lilith” as a proper name rather than translate it as a common noun meaning “night creature”.

    Discussions of Lilith are always mythological in nature, not theological.
