Ishtar

---

In the ancient Near East, Ishtar was an important and widely worshiped mother goddess for many Semitic* peoples. The Sumerians* called her Inanna, and other groups of the Near East referred to her as Astarte.

A complex deity, Ishtar combined the characteristics—both good and evil—of many different goddesses. As a benevolent mother figure, she was considered the mother of gods and humans, as well as the creator of all earthly blessings. In this role, she grieved over human sorrows and served as a protector of marriage and motherhood. People also worshiped Ishtar as the goddess of sexual love and fertility. The evil side of Ishtar's nature emerged primarily in connection with war and storms. As a warrior goddess, she could make even the gods tremble in fear. As a storm goddess, she could bring rain and thunder.

Some myths say that Ishtar was the daughter of the moon god Sin and sister of the sun god Shamash. Others mention the sky god Anu, the moon god Nanna, the water god Ea, or the god Enlil, lord of the earth and the air, as her father. Most myths link her to the planet Venus.

Ishtar appears in many myths, but two are especially important. The first, part of the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh, tells how Ishtar offered to marry the hero-king Gilgamesh because she was

impressed by his courage and exploits. According to the epic, Gilgamesh refused her offer and insulted Ishtar, reminding the goddess of all the previous lovers she had harmed. Enraged, Ishtar sent the fierce Bull of Heaven to kill Gilgamesh, but he and his friend Enkidu killed the beast instead.

The other well-known myth of Ishtar concerns her descent to the underworld and sacrifice of her husband Tammuz (also known as Dumuzi). In this story, Ishtar decided to visit the underworld, which was ruled by her sister Ereshkigal, perhaps to seize power there. Before departing, she instructed her follower Ninshubur to seek the help of the gods if she did not return.

To reach the underworld, Ishtar had to pass through seven gates and remove a symbol of her power—such as an article of clothing or a piece of jewelry—at each one. At the last gate, the goddess, naked and deprived of all her powers, met her sister Ereshkigal, who announced that Ishtar must die. She died immediately, and her corpse was hung on a stake.

Meanwhile, the god Enki learned from Ninshubur that Ishtar was missing and sent two messengers who restored her to life. However, in order to leave the underworld, Ishtar had to substitute another body for her own. The goddess offered her young husband, Tammuz, to take her place. This tale of death and rebirth was associated with fertility and linked to the seasons and agricultural cycles, much like the story of Persephone in Greek mythology.

This Goddess here is funny cause she is ALWAYS trying to get my ATTENTION.. And it's funny before drawing this card, earlier this morning I thought about her, and how she constantly tries to make her presence known to me, that I even said out loud watch when it comes time later today for a Goddess calling, she will be the chosen one for me today.. And voila .. Here she is ....

Synchronicity ...

This Universe is AMAZING 

Mawu is a creator goddess of the Ewe/ Fon cultures of Abomey/ Dahomey (Republic of Benin) in Africa. She is personified as the moon and is known as the aged mother of the west, the setting sun, who brings cooler temperatures, which symbolizes wisdom and advanced stages of life. Mawu is a steward of the earth, who works to preserve nature. She works in tandem with her son/ husband Liza whose serpentine body is curled beneath the earth, keeping it suspended in the sky. Why Mawu? The creator goddess energy is powerful, yet gentle with a graceful strength, representing our planet, full of life. It reminds us that there is enough love, wealth and resources on earth for all of us to share and live abundantly! For us, Mawu, who comes from the cradle of civilization, symbolizes the sacred energy of the earth, and our physical bodies as well as our connection and bond with nature. Her energy is a grounding tool, offering a practical approach to New Age ideas and practices. Mawu reminds us that we must all do our part to help the planet and each other, working to create balance and harmony between matter and spirit. Why Angels? The word Angel means, messenger of God. Angels are non-denominational spirit energy that is here to help us remember our inherent goodness, the divinity within us and the importance of happiness in our lives. We have witnessed the love and healing power of angelic energy in our lives and in the lives of others, and incorporated the word to reflect the powerful healing energy of our mission and work. We call in the angels to aid us in all of our endeavors to ensure integrity, love and service. We can also act as angels to one another by being compassionate, loving and helpful. - See more at: http://mawuangels.com/about-us/our-name/#sthash.iQKbH6eM.dpuf
