/inana/ — Ishtar-Inanna Queen of Heaven General

Come discuss the worship and conjuration of Ishtar, Inanna, Aphrodite, and historically related deities. However you work with the Queen of Heaven and her entourage, you're welcome to discuss here.

"Appearing in more literary compositions than any other deity, Inanna embodied endless complexities and contradictions: an unbridled goddess at once upholding and destroying the status quo; a passionate goddess engaging in romantic and destructive erotic love; a heavenly goddess who trod the underworld; a feminine goddess who was sometimes portrayed as a bearded warrior; and a mercurial goddess bestowing tender mercies even as she moved freely from one conquest to another."
"[Inanna's] cult had to already be widespread before the third millennium in order for it to have the extent and significance it does as soon as we have a clear look at a given period.
There are symbolic connections and structures linked to her worship as far back as urban centers go in the near east. There are reasons to think she also supplanted or inherited the role of an older regional 'mother goddess.'"

If you're interested in working with the Queen of Heaven, the best things you can do are to start meditating, making offerings, and maybe banishing too. Preferably do all three daily, or at least a few times a week. This will get her attention and improve your ability to communicate with her, as well as generally train your occult abilities. Eventually I'd like to develop a regime focused around historical and revealed techniques from Inanna, with the help of the thread.

>a heavenly goddess who trod the underworld
is the point of this quote to highlight her historical dualism? of being depicted as both a demonic and an angelic entity?
if so, what actually is she?Can she restore my foreskin?
