Lilin

Common card · No. 279920

Lilin (Hebrew: לִילֵי ,לִילִין, Syriac: ܠܠܝ̈ܬܐ) (masculine plural of lili, also called lillin, lilim, lilis or male liliths) are plural night spirits in Jewish mythology, male equivalent of Lilith, but are also her children, which she had with Adam or other mortal men. Their first appearance is in 2 Baruch, as demons similar to shedim, and afterwards in Aramaic incantation bowls, as the male equivalent of the liliths. They don't appear in the Bible, but in rabbinic literature such as the Babylonian Talmud and Midrash. That Lilith bore from Adam spirits, demons and lilin became a common motif in the mystical literature of the 14th-17th centuries, often adding that it was Adam's own sin which made it possible for Lilith to overcome him against his will.
