Greetings everyone!
If you're looking for a comfortable, welcoming, sacred spiritual place to get to know like-minded people who also have an interest in the Sumerian Goddess Inanna NinAnKi (Queen of Heaven and Earth), I cordially invite you to the Temple of Inanna's Light! discord.gg/rRcykyXq

When people think of deities, they think of a deity being one thing.

"Inanna is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of war, political power, divine law, sensuality, love, fertility, and procreation."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inanna

It's here! Ninshubar-the final book in Emily H Wilson's excellent Sumerians Trilogy, following Inanna and Gilgamesh, published by @titanbooks.bsky.social If you haven't read them, you are in for a treat-superb mix of Ancient Mesopotamia, gods & great storytelling

A crude drawing of a throne in pink and green with an even sketchier bed in brown and red. overlaid on the seat of the throne with cream and white colored background. Sewzinski stamp in bottom left corner. Digital painting created by me in procreate.

“A wooden bed and a wooden throne.” Today’s #painting was inspired by Sumerian Goddess #mytbology of Inanna. Throne/Thrown #folklore #dailypainting

Cover of the book Inanna by Emily H Wilson, the first in her Sumerians trilogy

#booklog 13 (12) Inanna – Emily H. Wilson

An enjoyable enough fantasy read – if that’s the right genre for retellings of mythology – though wasn’t hooked enough to complete the trilogy

(Did I briefly confuse Emily H Wilson with the Emily Wilson who translated the Odyssey & Iliad? Maybe)

Book by Siri Nin „The Way of Ishtarite. An Inclusive Guide for Worship of Inanna-Ishtar, Queen of Heaven and Earth”. The book has symbols of Inanna on the cover, reed in pride colours, and eight-pointed star in transgender pride colors.

Finally got the book of my friend ⭐️ Hopefully it will help me on my journey. To read more about the book and the author: linktr.ee/SiriNin

Blessed are you 🫶Holy Inanna🫶 ~ Everlasting Queen of Heaven ✴️👸🏾✴️

The first author in human history whose name we know...

is a woman.

Her name was Enheduanna, and she was a Sumerian priestess and poet. She was the daughter of Sargon, King of Akkad.

Her most famous poem is the Exaltation of Inanna.

Inanna was the great Sumerian goddess of love, war, and wisdom.

Blessed are You 🫶Holy Inanna🫶 - Everlasting Queen 👸🏾 of Heaven.

Here’s my daily heresy:

Venus is the light that returns after descent. So was Jesus. And like Inanna, Jesus descends, is pierced, dies, and returns radiant.

It’s the sacred feminine cycle of blood, then silence, then light. Jesus *is* Venus…

When the wind blows and you hear my name, I am near.

Friday essay: the legend of Ishtar, first goddess of love and war Love, it is said, is a battlefield, and it was no more so than for the first goddess of love and war, Ishtar. Her legend has influenced cultural archetypes from Aphrodite to Wonder Woman.

Ishtar, a powerful Mesopotamian goddess primarily known as the goddess of love and #war, and also associated with fertility and storms; was worshipped by the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians, and her worship evolved over time. She is often identified with the Sumerian goddess Inanna.

The Goddess, Lady of Love (Aphrodite, Astarte, Freya, Oshun): dark olive skin, flowing dark hair, surrounded by roses and candles with hearts on the background

"Friday is associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire. The day is often celebrated as a time to honor love, beauty, and feminine energy, and is associated with acts of self-love, romance, and creativity."

Her predecessors, Astarte & Inanna, are also goddesses of war.

The Trump administration is trying to censor LGBTQ people and our history, but we won't be erased and we won't be silenced.

To all the genderfluid, the nonbinary, and the trans folx of the world, know that you walk in Her footsteps. She looks upon us with pride and She protects us.
Inanna zami!

Inanna didn’t ask for the Eanna.

The Temple wasn’t given. It wasn’t earned. It was Hers by right, and She walked in like She belonged because She did. What’s your Eanna? The space and the life that you were meant for, even when doubt (or the world) says otherwise?

yamayuandadu.tumblr.com/post/7889645... New article is up on my blog! I'm looking into the sources responsible for the common modern perception of Inanna and Ereshkigal as "polar opposites", into their supposed status as sisters, and into metaphorical use of kinship terms in ancient Mesopotamia.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this art! 😍

Inanna danced in the robes of a priest-king and roared in the voice of a lion. Her power was in shattering limits, and so are yours. However, the choice is yours. You can allow life to happen to you, never own up to your decisions, and live in misery, or you can take control, invoking Her power.
