A she-demon who devours children.

A seductress who visits men in their sleep.

The first wife of Adam, cast out of Eden for defying him.

A feminist icon reclaimed by modern movements.


Lilith is all of these and more—a figure woven from strands of ancient mythology, religious texts, folklore, and contemporary reimaginings. Her name echoes across millennia, from Sumerian incantations and Jewish mysticism to Renaissance art and feminist literature. But with so many identities layered over her, who—or what—was Lilith to begin with?


In today’s episode, I’m joined by Nikki Marmery, author of the thought-provoking novel Lilith. Together, we delve into the rich and mysterious legend of Lilith—a figure who has been reimagined across generations as a demon, a seductress, a rebel, and a symbol of female empowerment. We explore how her story has evolved through ancient texts, folklore, and literature, and how these shifting interpretations continue to resonate today.
