At the beginning of the world, the Gods.. I
Ιn the womb of the Earth, in the land between two rivers, the first civilizations were born.Mesopotamia!
Its swaddling clothes were rocked by the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Babylonians, the Assyrians.
Language found its flow and passed into immortality through writing, the cuneiform.
The wheel was invented and rolled into the life of man, water nourished them and the cultivation of the land ensured their daily life in this existence.
The Laws put humanity in order from an early age and the leader Hammurabi passed into eternity through his Code.
Powerful cities rose, Ur, Uruk and Babylon and man soothed his soul through literature, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the hero-demi-god who sought the meaning of life, seeking immortality, and through this search he strode through the centuries, conquered them and lived forever, so that we today still talk about him.Because the deepest meaning of eternity is not life but remembrance.
Man’s need for protection, security, submission and guidance ached and gave life to religion.
Many Gods, so that they could identify with man’s needs, satisfy them, appease them.
• Anu, god of the heavens
• Enlil, god of the winds and storms
• Enk, god of the waters and the fertile land
• Ninhursaag, goddess of the earth
• Ashur, god of the sky, main deity of the Assyrians
• Ninlil, deity of creation • Inanna, goddess of love and war
• Marduk, god of the Babylonians
• Inanna, god of the moon
• Utu, god of the sun
• Ninurta, god of the Sumerians, and later a city of Mesopotamia. And there they laid the foundations of the world.
Of the Gods I choose to tell you about Inanna, the “Mistress of Heaven and Earth” the Goddess of love, fertility, love and war.
Choose the order, she is present.
Her symbol is the star, with eight rays, for perfection and completeness, a number associated with the completion of a circle.
Symbol of divine power and balance of opposite elements (life-death, beginning-end, creation-destruction).
The star of Inanna is connected to the sky and the planet Venus, it guides to love and Wisdom.
Another symbol of Inanna is the lion, because how else could war be expressed if not through the omnipotence of the lion?
How else could the omnipotence of Inanna herself be expressed if not through a proud and omnipotent, untamed lion?Symbol of courage and boldness.Expression of the wild nature, and the unyielding character of the Goddess.The contradictory sides of Inanna, protective and aggressive.
In Greek mythology, her multifaceted personality will be expressed equally well, through Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, strength and war, and Artemis for her autonomous and wild nature.
Today, Inanna could be the symbol of feminine power and independence.She could inspire movements for female power, autonomy and equality.
Inanna will always symbolize love, war, loss and rebirth. She passed into immortality since her symbols and her story continue to speak of emotions, power and transformation.
Her mother Earth, Mesopotamia in my language, is feminine, she is the womb that gave birth to her and made her eternal so that the feminine essence can always remember its Origin and its Power.
Inanna, Lady of Heaven and Earth.Lady of the Past and the Future and above all of immortal Time itself.
