This article makes some strong claims without attributing or quoting from a single Jewish source. If this is Robert Graves' and Raphael Patel's view of things, need to attributed to them. If they appear in places other than the works of Robert Graves and Raphael Patel, need to be attributed to specific sources. Who claims that the Naamah appearing in the book of Genesis is the same as the one appearing in the Zohar? Who are these scholars who debate Naamah's attributes and the meaning of her name? These claims need to be supported. Best, --Shirahadasha 00:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify the context of this article

What is the context of this article? It starts: "Naamah or Na'amah (Hebrew: נעמה) is a demonic legendary creature, the mother of divination. How she became a demon is unclear."

In what belief system is this? There is no indication in the article, apart from the fact that the name is Hebrew maybe indicates perhaps it is Judaism. As this is an encyclopedia written for people without prior knowledge it would be useful to clarify this.

Perhaps the article should start: "In Judaism, Naamah or Na'amah (Hebrew: נעמה) is a demonic legendary creature..."
