Endless naivety & Carnival of the daemons: Lilith

It seems the sophisticated arts of deception and charlatanism have been around forever and will never disappear no matter what. All hail P.T. Barnum. Some people just refuse to disbelieve the acts of communicating with spirits, possession and exorcism, psychics which is commonly done with simple cold-reading and all such things.
Not a very long time ago one of these TV psychic mediums, a really famous one, was caught successfully with a set-up and his fraud was unveiled. He didn't just use cold-reading but radio-transmitted hints via an earpiece as well. Yet even today, I think, he continues on, talking to people's late relatives and asking money for doing so.

Lilith is a character in Jewish mythology, found earliest in the Babylonian Talmud, which is generally thought to be related to a class of female demons in Mesopotamian texts. However, Lowell K. Handy (1997) notes that "Very little information has been found relating to the Akkadian and Babylonian view of these demons. Two sources of information, the Gilgamesh appendix and the Arshlan-Tash amulets, previously used to define Lilith are both suspect."

In Jewish folklore, from the 8th-10th Century Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards Lilith becomes Adam's first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth as Adam. This legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism. In the 13th Century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Kohen, for example, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.
