I'd agree, except it's clearly someone preying upon the gullible. C'mon, $5,000? LOL. But then again, if someone is idiotic enough to blow that kind of money on a 'spell' they probably were a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket.

Doesn't matter what I think, it's what the priestess who posted it and is trying to promote her business thinks...

As I said each to their own.

i had read the same thing about Lilith in many places, she is said to be a demoness who harm small children and those bearing children, i read about it a while ago so i dint remember everything but what is quoted above seems accurate to what i have read... ive never read anywhere that Lilith was in any way shape or form good.

The only possible mention of Lilith in the Tanakh is in Isaiah where the word "lilit" appears for the first and only time in Jewish scripture. Because of that it is impossible to say with any certainty whether the word refers to Lilith or something else. The truth is, that while Lilith as a demon, or perhaps a class of demon, can be traced back at least to the Talmud Bavli, the notion that Lilith was the first wife of Adam goes back only to the Aleph Bet of Ben Sira, which scholars date to somewhere around 900 CE. Everything else written about Lilith being the original spouse of Adam comes after that one work.

B'shalom,

Peter

This is what I found about Lilith (not another name for Eve):

Quote:
...we reach the purely human period. Those who were hitherto semi-divine Beings, self-imprisoned in bodies which were human only in appearance, became physiologically changed and took unto themselves wives who were entirely human and fair to look at, but in whom lower, more material, though sidereal, beings had incarnated. These beings in female forms (Lilith is the prototype of these in the Jewish traditions) are called in the esoteric accounts “Khado” (Dakini, in Sanskrit). Allegorical legends call the chief of these Liliths, Sangye Khado, (Buddha Dakini, in Sanskrit); all are credited with the art of “walking in the air,” and the greatest kindness to mortals; but no mind — only animal instinct.*

* These are the beings whose legendary existence has served as a ground-work upon which to build the rabbinical Lilith, and what the believers in the Bible would term the antediluvian women, and the Kabalists the pre-Adamite races. They are no fiction — this is certain, however fantastic the exuberance of later growth.

You will find it on the internet in The Secret Doctrine by H.P. Blavatsky.

Wow. I've had that name stuck in my head numerous times and I've never heard anyone else reference it before now. That's most unusual.
