Lilith – Adam’s First Wife

Of all the creation myths, I’ve always been fascinated by the story of Lilith. She’s a willful, headstrong woman who refuses to put up with Adam’s dictatorial bullshit. The story goes that the couple just couldn’t get along, constantly arguing. And, when it came to sex it was even worse. Adam demanded that he be the top at all times. Lilith, however, wanted a bit of variety. She wanted to top him from time to time. She wanted, and demanded, equality. “Nothing doing,” says Adam, you’ll bloody well do as you’re told! So, off she went. You can read the wonderful details of the story over at The Gnosis Archive. Pop over and give it a read, I’m sure you’ll love the story if you aren’t familiar with it and, if you are familiar with it you’ll enjoy refreshing the story in your mind. Just click the link and you’ll be flying like Lilith!
