Nahemah



Or Naamah. (Hebrew נעמה‎) A symbol in Kabbalah related to lust, seduction, and the infernal worlds (Klipoth, hell).

"...she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah [נעמה]." - Genesis 4:22

"And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess. And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done." - 1 Kings 14

"Rabbi Chiya quotes, "And the sister of Tuval Kayin was Naamah" (Beresheet 4:22). Why do the scriptures mention her name, Naamah (tender)? It is because people were seduced by her, and spirits and demons. Rabbi Yitzchak said that the sons of Elohim, Aza, and Azael were seduced by her. [...] Adam had intercourse with the female spirits for 130 years until Naamah came. Because of her beauty, she led the sons of Elohim, Aza and Azael astray. She bore them. Evil spirits and demons spread out from her into the world. They wander around the world during the night, deriding human beings and causing nocturnal pollution. Wherever they find men sleeping alone in their own homes, they hover over them and cling to them, arousing lustful desires and having offspring by them." - The Zohar

"Nahemah is the mother of malignant beauty, passion and adultery." - Samael Aun Weor, The Perfect Matrimony

Another interesting appearance of this name is in Genesis 3:

"And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree נחמד [to be desired] to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." - Genesis 3
