Lilith (by Cris Ortega) The Hebrew term Lilith first occurs in Isaiah 34:14, either singular or plural according to variations in the earliest manuscripts, though in a list of animals. In the Dead Sea Scrolls Songs of the Sage the term first occurs in a list of monsters. In Jewish magical inscriptions, on bowls and amulets from the 6th century CE onwards, Lilith is identified as a female demon and the first visual depictions appear.
Lelawala was a beautiful maiden of the peaceful tribe of the Ongiaras that was married off by her father to a king. However, she despised the old king, and longed to be with her true love He-No, the God of Thunder, who lurked in a cave beneath Horseshoe Falls. She decided she wanted to find He-No at all cost, and as she paddled a canoe onto the Niagara River she was swept off the Falls. Fortunately He-No caught Lelawala. Their spirits still live in the caves beneath Niagara Falls to this day.

The Irish werewolf is different from the Teutonic or European werewolf, as it is really not a “monster” at all. Unlike its continental cousins, this shapeshifter is the guardian and protector of children, wounded men and lost persons. According to some ancient sources, the Irish werewolves were even recruited by kings in time of war. Known in their native land as the faoladh or conroicht, their predatory behaviour is typical of the common wolf, not beneath the occasional nocturnal raid .

NIOBE/ORIGIN: Niobe was the wife of Amphion, and the queen of Thebes. They had seven boys and seven girls and so Niobe let her pride take over and boasted that she was better-blessed than Leto because she had more children.

EXAMPLE: Niobe let hubris take over her, and became prideful.

How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races, the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses? Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet art: Nene Thomas
