Wikipedia Trail from Lillith to

While watching the video "Seven Secrets of the Goddess", a name came up that I seem to hear more often than previously. The name is Lilith. Lilith apparently is a figure in Jewish mythology but it is believed that she is linked to even older mythology in ancient Mesopotamia literature and religion. Ancient Mesopotamian religion was practiced between the years 3500 B.C and 400 A.D. The Sumerians of Mesopotamia were the first peoples to create city-states, and they called each ruler of these city-states, "ensi". The word "ensi" translates to "lord of the plowland". During the Third Dynasty of Ur, ensi referred to the governor of the kingdom rather than the small city states. Ensi's during this time were often associated with more power than in previous times. During the Uruk period however, they had the most power. The Uruk period took place between 4000- 3100 B.C, often refereed to as the Copper Age.
