I've never understood the fascination with Lilith. I
get that her modern reinventions could be seen as some icon for feminine
independence and strength, despite the fact that when her entire
"biblical" history was pulled out of some Hebrew scholars asses back
in the dark ages, she was seen as a creature that murdered children and caused
miscarriages, but a vampiric seductress? Some queen of Succubae? What idiot
came to that conclusion?
It's bullshit.
If you're going to go digging around in the Bible for a
Succubus mascot, then at least look to characters such as Salome, or Jael, or
even Delilah for Frith's sake.
Hell, Delilah used her sexuality to literally drain the
power out of Samson, one of the most powerful men alive at the time. If that
doesn't scream Succubus, then I don't know what does.
I only omitted Jezebel because I see her more as a
Priestess/Sorceress type, than an actual seductress.
