Naamah

**Naamah**, also known as **Nahemah**, **Na'amah** or **Erisitica Alusta** is a figure in the Bible and Jewish mysticism. She is described as being a former wife of Adam and one of the mates of the fallen archangel Samael.

## Description

Naamah is a spirit of women’s sexual autonomy and sacred erotic rites. Naamah rules the ecstatic point where sex, spiritual ecstasy, and music intersect. Those who comprehend this point and seek to attain it are her constituency.

As she was mentioned as a demon, angel, succubus and human, it most likely that she can change her race at will. She is generally identified with the daughter of Lamech. This Naamah is a counterpart to the one who appears in Genesis, and she is regarded, like her mortal counterpart, as a patron of divination and music.

Her fellow succubi are Lilith, Eisheth Zenunim, and Agrat Bat Mahlat, These four have been called the Grand Succubi and Queens of Lust. She is also known as one of the four angels of prostitution. She is also known as the mother of divination or The Charmer. Naamah's appearance is similar to Lilith, but Lilith is described as being more sensual, young and beautiful and as one that corrupted the fallen angels and their leader Samyaza.

## History

### Genesis

In the beginning Naamah was a human female created by God alongside Agrat and Eisheth to be potential mates for Adam in case he rejected Eve. When Adam proposed to all of them, they rejected Adam's advances with only Eve accepting. Naamah and her sisters then left Adam and Eve to their endeavours and were likely escorted out of the Garden by Michael.

Naamah and Lilith lived in the Red Sea coast where they were expelled by God. Right before the War in Heaven, Naamah was approached by Beelzebub as she laid by the Red Sea, who was smitten by her resulting in the two having a sexual union. After the War in Heaven and the Fall of Man, Naamah became a queen of demons, alongside her sisters, as a consort to Satan of who her sisters also consort with, ruling over the Eastern quarter (Damascus).

According to the Zohar, after Cain kills Abel, Adam separates from Eve for 130 years. During this time, Naamah visits him and bears his demonic children, who became the Nashiym; although these "plagues" are also often attributed to being of Lilith's creation but the story varies as they all do. She along with the other Succubi cause epilepsy in children.

### Fall of the Watchers

In another story from the Zohar, Naamah is said to have corrupted Samyaza and Azazel alongside the Nashiym. As Naamah is a spirit of women’s sexual autonomy and sacred erotic rites, she was the catalyst behind the Watchers lusting after the mortal women. It is said that both Naamah and the Nashiym weaved a spell that would warp not just the appearance of the women, but also their spirits, into becoming supremely desirable even for divine beings like the angels. Their tainted souls would leave traces of spiritual ecstasy, and through Naamah's seduction of the Watchers, specifically Azazel and Samyaza through the art of music, the Watchers relented and laid with the human women.

The acts of debauchery committed by the humans were also mostly because of Naamah's actions as well, and through each mound of sin absorbed into a goat which then said goat is devoured by Azazel, allowed Naamah to ensnare Azazel's deteriorating mind and seduce the once great Watcher. She had Azazel whisper into the ears of mortals. As the Watchers began to lust for the mortal women, Azazel like his brethren began encouraging people to do even greater misdeeds, and people indulged, overindulged, even. And no one knew when to stop. Naamah quickly fled upon sensing the arrival of the archangels and thus survived God's wrath via the Great Flood.

### Seduction of Solomon

It is also believed that after the Flood, Solomon had fallen under her spell as well, but mainly to convince the great king into releasing her son Abezethibou. This, however, failed and Naamah was understandably furious especially since her powers could not penetrate the holy barrier that surrounds Solomon's temple.

As such, she requested the aid of Agrat where the latter would send her daughters she begot by David, Solomon's father, into entering the temple and seduce the king's mind and body after they became his wives. They successfully had him defect from his worship of God which made Solomon lose his power over the demons he subjugated including Abezethibou
