Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Lilith the First Succubus

The succubus has a long and ancient beginning.  According to one of the creation stories Lilith was Adam's first wife.  God created both Adam and Lilith from the clay of the earth making them equals.  However, they didn't get along when Lilith refused to be submissive to Adam.  He complained to God and Lilith was promptly exiled from Eden.  She wandered the Land of Nod and encountered several of the Fallen Watchers and seduced them into imparting to her their forbidden knowledge.
