Your father made you and then abandoned you, so you pray. You see signs where there's nothing. But truth is, your Apocalypse came and went, and you didn't even notice. A mother would never abandon her children like he did. You'll see.

– Eve, 6.16 ...And Then There Were None

History

Eve was last on Earth 10,000 years ago.[1] She is referred to as the Mother of All, referring to all supernatural beings.. She has been trapped in Purgatory, where the souls of the supernatural go after death. Now that she has been released, she has plans for the monsters to subjugate humanity.

Eve is the mother of a bloodline, the birthing entity at the moment of genesis for all the lines of monsterdom. So the Eve of monsters. And even being a pun - like the "eve of monsters" because there's a monster world she's moving towards.

Sam and the Alpha Vampire, 6.07 Family Matters

She is alluded to by the Alpha Vampire, who is being interrogated by Samuel Campbell. When Dean and Sam have a few moments alone with the Alpha Vampire, Sam asks him who made him, and he mentions that everything has a mother - even creature like him.

6.12 Like A Virgin

The sacrifice to raise Eve from Purgatory

Dragons are abducting young women (virgins) and keeping them captive in a sewer. Dean obtains the Sword Of Bruncvik and he and Sam track down the dragon's lair, finding a pile of gold, and the women. They also find an ancient manuscript which speaks of freeing Mother from Purgatory. Sam and Dean kill one of the Dragon but one escapes. He meets up with another dragon who has also captured a half dozen women. They take one of the women and use an incantation to open a door to Purgatory. They throw the woman in, and she rises again, her body now inhabited by Eve.

6.16 ...And Then There Were None

Eve captured on camera

Eve creates a being—called colloquially the Khan Worm—that can enter a person's body through the ear and control their actions. She plants it inside a trucker, who goes on to murder his entire family with a hammer. It then passes to one of his co-workers, who kills six people. While investigating the murders, it infects Dean, who kills his cousin Gwen, and then infects Samuel, forcing Sam to kill him. Finally, it infects Bobby, who kills Rufus. While the worm is possessing Bobby, it tells Dean and Sam that it is a new monster recently created by Eve, and that Eve intends for supernatural beings to take over the world. She also has a message for them that the worm relates: "She's pissed, she's here, and it's going to be nothing but pain for you from here on in."

Eve in Lore

The Abrahamic religions involve a primary female figure in their lore. In the Old Testament (primarily the Book of Genesis), Eve is said to be the first woman created, and her disobedience of God's instruction (eating of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) leads to the expulsion of herself and Adam from the Garden of Eden.

Roman Catholicism venerates Mary, the mother of Jesus, and refers to her as Mother of the Church and Queen of Heaven.

The concept of a Mother Goddess is found in cultures around the world in many forms. It is often theorised that matriarchal religions, those that worshiped a female deity, proceeded the patriarchal religions such as the Abrahamic ones (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) that worshiped a male one (God). Other religious traditions focus on the balance of the masculine and feminine within a deity or deities.

Some interpretations of European dragon myths read them as symbolising the battle of patriarchal religions to defeat the old Mother Goddess religions (represented by the dragon), with women reduced to powerless women that need to be rescued. Source.

Echidna - daughter of Gaia also known as mother nature - is a Greek goddess who is also known as the "Mother of All Monsters" because she was the source of all the monstrous creatures in Greek mythology Source.

Another predominant mother goddess of ancient peoples was Asherah. In early Judaic religions, she was worshiped alongside the God of Israel as his consort, though her history extends much further back. She is also known by the name "Rabat Chawat Elat" or "Great Lady Eve the Goddess", among many others. Her symbol was the serpent. This was said to represent wisdom, healing, and immortality. Another of her symbols was the Tree of Life. She is believed to have inspired the character of Eve in the Genesis myth.
