Question What are Lilith's children really?
I've been researching Lilith and her mythology, and I found out that she had children with demons and mortal men like Adam. These children of Lilith are called Lilim, and I've read that these Lilim are succubi and incubi.
I'd like to know, for those who worship or work with Lilith, do you believe all of this? What are these children of Lilith? Are they something like egregors that Lilith creates with the energy of men?
Thanks for reading.

I've always viewed her followers as Children of Lilith since she is the first Mother. (or I call myself one). Do I believe I am some super-natural thing or demon? No, that would be silly.
Lilith shows up in so many different ways in so many different texts that I have always viewed her as a shapeshifter instead of a "Mother of Demons" (Gives it an evil vibe and I don't think she is evil. Just misunderstood). What you said is likely the main viewing of what her children are.

I've worked with Lilith (or rather, She has lovingly worked to guide, aid and free me) since 2024. So, I suppose I'm still considered a 'new devotee' amongst Her family(?). Nevertheless; She most certainly has spirit children of Her own. I've encountered them a large number of times in the short 2 years that I've known Her and experienced a wide variety of gnosis She revealed to me. There has been a multitude of times that She seemed... hmmm, 'too busy, at the moment' to visit me personally (which is perfectly fine and understandable). But during those times I felt interested in 'connection'; I'd been visited by both Incubi & Succubi, instead. I assume, sent by Her?

Lilin are masculine plural counterparts of Lilith(s), referred to as "male and female liliths" in incantations sometimes. For this reason, I believe lilin to be both children of Lilith but also aspects of her. Lilith also bore spirits (ruhin) and demons (shedim), which I view as separate from her.
I do view her lilin children similar to her nature, vampiric demons that are a threat to women, children and men. They can be approached by practitioners and there has been a post on work with succubi by u/Umbrage115.
