Lilith, Queen of Hell



Christians and Jews call her Lilith, She was known to the Greeks as Lilim, the Etruscans as Lenith, the Sumarians as lilitu, and the Egyptians as Heka. Ancient Jewish texts mark her as being Adam’s first wife. When she demanded equality and was rebuffed, she left the Garden of Eden and was replaced by Eve. She then mated with Satan begetting the demon Djinn, aka the first Genie. God then took away all her demonic children. In response she started stealing the souls of human babies. The thing she feared most was her own name. Whenever she saw it or heard it she would flee. Thus the creation of the lullaby, or Lilith-bye.
In Rise of the Raven Knights, Lilith portrays the Queen of Hell. Small town Mayor Whitney McCracken, leader of an evil witch coven,  is convinced that summonsing the soul of Lilith into her own body will allow her to manipulate the demoness’ powers to go along with powers from an ancient Mayan crystal skull she possesses to gain unlimited political power. She wants to rule the world!
To gain funds for her desired rise McCracken plans to rape her town’s environment of its natural resources. She has all the people who stand in her way killed, including Eliza Strum, the feared and misunderstood local town witch, who trained Whitney McCracken before the student's wicked turn. Before her death, Strum foresaw her and the others’ murders and placed a curse on all McCracken’s victims so that their souls should occupy the magick armor of undead black knights that can shape-shift into ravens. The curse will last until these ‘Raven Knights’ can avenge her death and bring the cold hand of justice down upon the McCracken coven.
The only thing left standing in McCracken’s way: inexperienced brother-sister witches, Gazzy and Lori Windstorm, who are Eliza Strum’s estranged children, taken from her when they were babies. Upon Strum’s death they unknowingly bequeathed all her mystical powers, property and control of an order of undead warriors, the Raven Knights. Gazzy and Lori must learn the secrets to their supernatural shape-shifting abilities quickly, because the McCracken coven will stop at nothing to see them dead.
Though Lilith is heavily involved with the plot of Rise of the Raven Knights, she plays but a bit part. She really comes to life in my next novel: Rise and Fall of the Onyx Dragons, Suffer the Witch Chronicles II.

  2. I love Tool! You're right, their lyrics can be difficult to decipher. I have read though, that guitarist Adam Jones is deep into mystical sciences, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least! Thanks!
