“The Mother of Vampirism”


Who is more qualified for this assignment other than the mother of vampirism? You may ask yourself, wasn’t Dracula the beginning of it all, wasn’t he the first vampire, wasn’t he the first one to haunt our nightmares? But the truth is, this nightmare began long before generation of Dracula. In fact, the mother herself was believed to be one of the first human beings to walk this Earth. In case there is any doubt in your mind about whom I am referring to, next time you have nothing to do open up the nearest Bible and look up the Mother of all Vampirism, Lilith.
            Who is Lilith? Where did she come from? Why do we not know much about her? Where did she go? These are all questions that have raised much controversy in the vampire world but she is undoubtedly the one who started it all. As the bible goes, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. Unlike Eve, she was not made as a part of Adam; she was created separate and equal. The story continues on as she flees from Adam because she did not want to be treated unjustly and unequally. She was allowed to stay on Earth but as the Mother of all Demons. She goes on eventually to find Cain, the first born son of Adam and Eve. He was exiled from his parents land because in a jealous rage, he killed his brother Abel. We know him now as the first man to murder in the bible and on Earth and is later on mentioned as “the prototype of a wicked man”.
            Lilith uses Cain to produce multiple demons and vampires and will soon reign over the Legions of Evil. Even in the bible Cain is known to have legitimate children, but the mother of these children has remained anonymous. As the Mother of all Demons, Lilith is said to have fed on the blood of her own children which in time will cause this monstrous plague to spread. She breeds a new species of blood feeders, or Vampires.
“There are those whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among mankind.” -Proverbs 30:14
