Okay, so, as a goddess follower myself, I'm beginning to find the intense demonization of Lilith a tad offensive so I thought I'd clear a few things up so I can go back to being evil in peace.
True: Lilith was Adam's first wife
True: She left him because she did not wish to submit to him False: She went on to have 100 demonic children a day which were stolen from her by God
True: She became a seducer of men False: She became destroyer of children
What really happened, mythologically, was Lilith left Adam after he tried to enforce the whole 'a good wife knows her place' crap on her. She left the garden and became the goddess, NOT A DEMON. Later when it came to pass that children no longer their mother's but belonged to their father, Lilith began to punish men by seducing them. She never really hurt anyone, she just wanted mothers to be able to care for their children the way they used to be able to. When an unmarried woman who had children was coveted, especially if she had daughters. She is not evil, just a tad misunderstood.
And now that I have had my say, I will return to ending the world.

Isn;t Lilith the ruler over the Succubus in hell?

No, cause she's not in hell, not technically anyway. She was demonized by the church as one of the methods of controlling men and demeaning women.
