	~~Naamah or Na'amah (Hebrew: נעמה, meaning pleasant) is a figure in the Bible and Jewish mysticism.~~

			'''Naamah''' or '''Na'amah''' (Hebrew: נעמה, meaning pleasant) is a figure in the Bible and Jewish mysticism. In Gnostic Kabbalah, she is called '''Nahemah'''. She is described as being an angel of prostitution, and one of the [[Succubus (Traditional)\|succubi]] mates of the demon [[Samael]] in Zoharistic Qabalah. Her fellow succubi are [[Lilith]], [[Eisheth Zenunium]], and [[Agrat Bat Mahlat]]. She is also known as the mother of divination. She is also generally regarded as being the daughter of Lamech but how she became a demon is unclear.

	~~== In the Bible ==~~
	In the Bible, Naamah is mentioned only one time, in Genesis 4:22. The NIV states: “Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah…. Zillah also had a son, Tubal-Cain, who forged all kinds of tools out of bronze and iron. Tubal-Cain's sister was Naamah.”[1] Although this Lamech is said to be a descendant of Cain, he has sometimes been confused with Lamech among the descendants of Seth, an ancestor of Noah.

	== ~~Other Religious References~~ ==		== Etymology ==
	Naamah ~~is named as the wife of Noah~~ and ~~a daughter~~ of ~~Enoch, Noah's grandfather, in~~ the ~~mediaeval midrash Book of Jasher Chapter 5:15~~		Naamah comes from Hebrew: נעם‎ ''naim'' and means pleasant.<ref>[http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Naamah.html Meaning, origin and etymology of the name Naamah]</ref>

			The meaning of her name is argued among Hebrew scholars; it refers either to her virtuous nature ("pleasing" to God (YHVH) or to a penchant for idolatry (singing "pleasant" songs to pagan idols).

			Naamah appears in the Zohar as one of the mates of the archangel [[Samael]]. She, along with [[Lilith]], causes epilepsy in children. According to Zohar she is a [[Succubus (Traditional)\|succubus]] and [[fallen angel]], and is generally regarded as an aspect or relation of [[Lilith]]. After Cain killed Abel, Adam separated from Eve for 130 years. During this time, two female spirits, [[Lilith]] and Naamah would visit Adam and bear his children, who became the Plagues of Mankind. (Zohar 3:76b-77a)
