Lilith is considered a demon in some Jewish, and therefore some Christian, traditions. While she is not explicitly in the Torah, the story runs much as you mentioned. After being cast aside she supposedly cavorted with demons, had children by them, and became a demon herself. She was supposed to prey upon children, especially boys. There were specific blessings to bestow upon children to protect them from Lilith.

[...] Pagan Mom Blog runs down the Wiccan stereotypes used in the show, but ultimately finds that it would be hypocritical to get outraged about any of the slights. [...]

LOL Understood… I knew it wasn’t in the Torah, but wasn’t sure where it came in… was reading your post to my husband & he filled me in.

That may be where I got confused. I remember talking about it in the religions course I took. I know she said the Jewish acknowledge Lilith. So that might be where I got confused ….tradition….Torah….they both start with a T lol!
