i see people are talking about this again so, from a queer trans jew:

LILITH IS OPEN! IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN WORSHIP HER! BE YOU JEWISH OR GENTILE 💖

Four points:

lilith is open, but making ancient levant pregnancy protection bowls with botched hebrew and saying its idk a modern michigander witch invention, THAT is appropriation. Just saying a prayer to Lilith as a gentile is, can’t believe i have to say this, not appropriation.

lilith is jewish, as known from oral tradition, ancient and medieval apotropaic artifacts, Zohar, and of course the Alphabet of (falsly attributed) Ben Sirach ~ she’s jewish but, just like judaism, she’s is an amalgam of common experiences witnessed by peoples in antiquity

lilith is actively worshipped, observably, in reality, by jewish and gentile women and queers for decades. My friends aren’t antisemitic just for me inviting them in, that’s batshit talk.

don’t tell anyone who to worship. this includes unsolicited suggestions to “swap” Lilith with anyone else. Imposing your religious beliefs on others is very, very culturally christian, so stop that. please.

It's Lilim from Monster Rancher.

Empusas

En la antigua Palestina se creía en Lilith, considerada la primera mujer del mundo, que posteriormente cayó al abismo al abandonar a su esposo Adán y el Edén, y se convirtió en personificación del mal y la lujuria. Dicha figura fue retomada por otras culturas, incluyendo la griega.

En el mundo griego, su equivalente era Hécate, diosa del mundo subterráneo. Así como las hijas de Lilith eran las Lilim, las de Hécate eran las empusas: se decía que tenían ancas de asno y sandalias de latón, igual que su madre —las sandalias doradas eran de Afrodita—. A pesar de su feo aspecto, tenían la capacidad de transformarse en perras, vacas o hermosas doncellas. Es en esta última forma cuando buscaban hombres jóvenes y débiles de espíritu para seducirlos y consumir su fuerza vital.

Filóstrato de Atenas escribió una anécdota sobre un joven llamado Menipo que se enamoró de una empusa. Este joven era discípulo de Apolonio de Tiana y, durante una estancia en Corinto, se enamoró de una hermosa mujer que decía venir de Fenicia. Para suerte (o desgracia) de Menipo, la mujer confesó amarlo también, así que yacieron juntos múltiples noches, a expensar de Filóstrato, que desaprobaba aquel romance.

Menipo decidió desposar a la mujer. Juntos organizaron un gran banquete en el que ella se encargó de preparar suculentos alimentos y decorar con hermosas y aromáticas flores. En cuanto Filóstrato vio a la pareja abrazándose y besándose, acusó a la mujer de ser una empusa con estas palabras:

"Tú, al que las mujeres persiguen, abrazas a una serpiente, y ella a ti."

Después de estas palabras acusadoras, las flores y la deliciosa comida se desvanecieron, todo desaparecía poco a poco frente a la mirada atónita de los invitados y el mismo Menipo. Un asqueroso hedor inundó el ambiente, y quien fuera una bella y seductora mujer, pronto se convirtió en una horrible serpiente con cabeza humana. Confesándo que era una empusa que deseaba consumir la fuerza vital de Menipo, huyó a toda velocidad dejando a los invitados asutados y al novio desconcertado.

Filóstrato creyó a ver salvado al muchacho, pero a los pocos meses este murió de amor.

I REALLY love this game! 🤣

[sorenblr]

So I was wondering your opinions on the new images for demons in the Persona 5 Gacha game. Mostly He’ll Biker cause he has a helmet now, and if you think this means the rest will have one in the future. Or worse. Human faces! I’d rather the Horsemen just be heads completely covered by hoods myself!

Insanely funny, especially Incubus. They reviled him for his exposed newt. The one signifier that he's an Incubus and not just a fucked up guy. This is the price he pays for rocking out with his cocking out.

(Stylistically, I think they're pedestrian. Not a drop of that Kaneko special sauce.)

As for Hell Biker, I imagine the helmet is to accomodate regulations restricting the depictions of skeletal remains in Chinese mobile releases. So, totally unlikely to recur outside of this particular scenario, although if the Horsemen et al. are in the compendium then I assume they would be similarly altered, probably just by occluding their faces in their hoods, like you suggested. This would be extremely sick because then they're just fucking Ringwraiths, a long contemplated crib candidate.
