Franco-German) Jewish folklore, attested chiefly in Sefer Hasidim; the name likely derives from the Latin strix/strigae and the figure is sparsely documented. | demon | |||

The Babylonian Talmud (Eruvin 100b) describes a nocturnal spirit with wings who harms men sleeping alone. The Alphabet of Ben Sira (9th–11th c. CE) develops the narrative of Lilith as Adam's first wife who refused to lie beneath him, spoke the ineffable name, and flew to the Red Sea to consort with demons. In Kabbalistic literature (Zohar, Zohar Chadash) Lilith becomes the consort of Samael, queen of the demonic realm, and the dark counterpart of the Shekhinah — embodying the "left side" of the divine feminine. | demon | |||||||
