S4E3: Lilith - The mother of demons part 1
Another 2 part episode. In this first part I tell a few tales from throughout history of the entity known as Lilith, from what some say is the first mention of her in Mesopotamia to 13th century Jewish Kabbalah stories. In part 2 I shall do a dive into the history and translations and mysticism around her, in this episode it is mostly tales.
Inanna and the Huluppo tree is from Kramer, S 1938:

Something strange happened to my recording, this was not what I recorded! I feel as though someone is in my mind, controlling what I say. My face has gone pale and pallid, as if I am wearing a Mask......All hail the King in Yellow.

Content warning, dark themes of death, suicide and loss.
In this episode I tell one of the darkest ghost stories I have told to date, and also tell the story of a dream. Love is a powerful emotion, but can it truly set us free? Even in dreams or death?
