B

An old Semitic legend, not contained in the Old Testament, relates how Adam had a wife before Eve, a wife whose names. was Lilith, a woman wonder fully beautiful, but proud and rebellious of spirit, who refused obedience to Adam, and fled from the Garden of Eden into the places of darkness.

But when Adam took unto himself a second wife, a purer, more spiritual creature than his first mate, Lilith grew jeál~ ous, and planned to drive the happy pair out of Paradise."

Through the Instrumentality of the serpent, she induced Eve: to tempt Adam to eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree, the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, with what con- sequences.everyone knows.

Nor did her malice stop there. Ever afterwards down the ages she was the sworn for of the children of her rival, Eve, and of her children's children, which is why the coins mentioned above are used as a protective talisman.
