  The Darkest Stories of Lilith

  Aug 17, 202640 min

  The traditional Genesis tale explains that when Adam was still in the Garden of Eden, he was lacking a suitable companion. To the average reader, the biblical God is known to then create Eve by shaping her out of one Adam’s ribs in the second chapter of Genesis, and this is naturally presumed to be the first woman. However, some ancient scholars and rabbis took issue with this idea of Eve being the ‘first woman’, for previously in the first chapter of Genesis, God is specified as creating both man and woman here. ‘So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.’ (Genesis 1:27 ).It would appear to these ancient readers that this first instance of creation contradicted the sequential creation in Genesis 2:22 . How could Eve be the first woman if another woman was already seen to be created in God’s image a chapter prior? In an effort to resolve this contradiction, the ancient rabbis came to refer to this female created in Genesis 1:27 as Adam’s ‘first wife’, whom they named Lilith.

  The One Ring To Rule All Demonkind

  Aug 13, 202619 min

  Solomon, the third king of Israel was no stranger to the dark arts or the occult. This was a king who had been blessed with divine wisdom after all and so it would make some sense that he would have some knowledge on that which was otherwise considered forbidden. By the turn of the Common Era, Solomon was associated with more than just a God given intellect, he was a master of magic, a forethinker in the supernatural and even a commander of demons, whom he could bind and bend to his will.

  The Tragic Tale of Samael's Son | Angels & Demons Explained

  Aug 1, 202629 min

  Readers of Genesis will know there are some mainstay biblical tropes that for the sake of tradition and ‘sacredness’ are never seen to change. God creates the universe in six days, Adam is the first man, Eve is tempted by the serpent, both are kicked out of the Garden of Eden and forced to make a go of it on the then barren lands of the Earth. These are some of the cornerstones of the early Genesis narrative and without these, one might argue that you cannot accurately tell the story. And that’s pretty fair to say. One cannot remove these features without altering the very foundations of which the rest of the story stands on. What early 20th century scholar Louis Ginzberg, in his work The Legends of the Jews, points out though, is that the ancient Jews could add to the narrative, creating a fuller picture of what exactly transpired in the garden of Eden and fleshen out some of the nuances to create an even more dramatic version.

  Adam's Sordid Affairs And The Demons That Seduced Him

  Jul 30, 202616 min

  After Adam and Eve transgress and are exiled from the Garden of Eden, the biblical account portrays the couple as exhibiting model behaviour. They aren’t shown to succumb to temptation, they aren’t seen to demonstrate any sort of corruption and they aren’t lured away by the likes of Satan, giving us the impression that they had learned their lesson. Considering there really aren’t any noteworthy descriptions concerning Adam and Eve’s lives outside of the garden (aside from the birth of their children), believers might be quick to conclude that Adam and Eve lived righteously and that nothing untoward transpired between them.

  Satan Was Framed?

  Jul 20, 202618 min

  For eons, Satan has been portrayed as the model of wickedness. It was Satan who was cast down to the earth, Satan who was the corrupter of mankind, Satan who, otherwise coined as the ‘adversary’ to God, became the antithesis of all that was holy. Satan, as the devil, would become the archetype of sin itself - it was the devil that encouraged corruption, it was the devil that brought about calamity and even in some cases, it would be the devil that facilitated our bad choices. The old idiom, ‘the devil made me do it’, springs to mind; perhaps a convenient perspective one might adopt to vindicate themself of accountability.
