However, when she tried to live that truth by getting on top during sex, she was exiled. While God made Eve from Adam's rib, Lilith was created from the earth, just like Adam, rendering her his equal. The astrologically important placement Black Moon Lilith is named after the goddess Lilith, who, according to ancient Mesopotamian and Hebrew mythology, is Adam's first wife.
