LULLABY

If you read the Bible carefully, you' notice, that Genesis contains two creation-stories. In the first one God creates man and woman (equally, simultaniously), from the earth. In Genesis 2, God first creates Adam, who gets bored and frustrated in the Garden of Eden. God hypnotizes him and while Adam is in a deep sleep, he takes a rib and from it creates Eve. This story is one of the biblical archetypes, that led to a, religiously legitimized, lifetime of obedience, submission and possible torture or even death, for women, all through history and all around the world, alhough it is not the only “haunting from the past”.

Judaism and early Christianity were a “literate” society and both produced a lot of scrolls, codexis and books. When finally the content and order of Bible were formalized, many books, gospels and apocalypses were left out. Some circulating books were called heretic and burned. In the last century many of those missing “sources” have been discovered. (Dead sea scrolls, Nag-Hamadi and recently discovered “sources”, hidden in monasteries from the Balkan, the Kaukasus to Ethiopia (the Book of Enoch).

Interesting details about Genesis can be discovered in this material. Eve was Adam's 2^nd wife!

Adam's first wife was called Lilith, a woman created equal and with a mind of her own. Adam claims sexual dominance, but Lilith refuses to submit. Adam wants to force hinself unto his wife and she “calls God's secret and forbidden name” and disappeares into thin air. She does not leave paradise immediately. God sends three angels, to seduce her to return to Adam, but the 1^st woman on earth, keeps saying no. God threatens to punish Lilith for her stubbordness. “Every day 100 children will die, because of you.” Lilith does not return to Adam.

Christian and Judaism “propaganda” have turned Adam's first wife in to a demonic and horrific entity. From the Middle Ages untill now, people wear amulets against her evil powers and intent. She tortures women during pregnancy and is kept responsable for the sudden death of a baby or child. Lilith also preys on young man, sleeping alone. By possessing his body and thoughts, she procurates with them. The name Lilith may sound unfamiliar to you, but you have used it many times during your lifetime. Lullaby literally stems from “Lilith abide”.
