Ishtar, Queen of Heaven: A Introduction to the Ancient Mesopotamian Goddess of Love, War & Fertility

The Queen of Heaven, Ishtar, was known by the Babylonians and Akkadians as the form of the Sumerian Goddess Inanna. She represented love, war, sexuality, and fertility. According to the Mesopotamian pantheon, she was the daughter of the Moon God Sin and the sister of the Sun God Shamash. However, some also considered her to be the daughter and consort, or sacred hierodule, of Anu, the God of Heaven. Explore and learn more about her...

What is Paganism? A religion, a spirituality, an alternative belief system, nature worship? You can find support for all these definitions (and many more) in dictionaries, encyclopedias, and textbooks of religion, but subscribe to any one of these and the truth will evade you. Above all Paganism is a creative pursuit, an encounter with reality, an exploration of meaning and an expression of the soul. Druids, Heathens, Wiccans and others, all contribute their insights and literary riches to the Pagan tradition. Moon Books Publishing invites you to begin or to deepen your own encounter, right here, right now.

    Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite, Venus. Her descent into the underworld could be the mythological interpretation of the Morning Star, aka Venus, descending beneath the horizon, and later appearing in the sky again as the Evening Star.

    A eunuch? I heard her own maid was instructed to get her after the 3 days. And when she gets back to earth, she sent her consort bizumi to her sister. (Bc he was a player and lame king while she was gone. And sister needed some company.) It’s always interesting to see how female characters get turned into male characters over time in these stories.

    Interesting initiation. My Isis initation was underground and in the Heavens, but I think it must be Ishtar testing me now. My life for the past 3 years sounds like Her initiation. I haven't worked with Ishtar (Innana, Astarte) before, so this will be interesting. The other GodDesses that have initiated me ( Isis, Sophia, Kali & Sekmet) are with me always, but I've also worked with Mau Baste (helps bring kitties home safely) quite a bit too, but she hasn't initiated me. I don't really consider Lilith a GodDess, more like a sister.

Sumerian and Nordic gods had nothing to do with each other, as the Nordic and earlier Germanic pantheon was derived from Proto-Indo-European religion, and Sumerians had nothing in common with that group, no interaction whatsoever.

    Under guidance and wisdom of God I have seen otherwise. Ishtar is proverbs 8. She is wisdom. She is Shakti. She is the holy spirit that rises into the skull of man and awakens the sleeping, buried Christ. You are the husband she is here to save. The whole Bible is a parable Christians don't even understand. Jesus was of Nazareth. He is dead and gone after his christenings and life. You will not find him because you must know your truth first, for only God knows the son who has passed. But you are still yet to be Christened. Turn within and find the kingdom. Be still and know that your spirit, your "I am" is God.. Not your ego. Your spirit. Dust thou art. Dust thou returnest. But not the spirit. There isn't two powers in creation. God rules all and is supreme. All are states and principalities including death, which you WILL conquer. God bless, children of the One.
