The sacrifice to raise Eve from Purgatory

6.12 Like A Virgin

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 Mother.

6.16 And Then There Were None

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 kill his family. It then passes to one of his co-workers who kills 12 people. While investigating the murders, it infects Dean who kills his cousin Gwen, and then infects Samuel, and finally Bobby who kills Rufus while possessed. While possessing Bobby, it tells Dean and Sam that it was created by Eve, who intends for supernatural beings to take over the world.

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 Knowledge of Good and Evil) leads to the expulsion of herself and Adam from the Garden of Eden.

• Wikipedia entry on Eve

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.
