Ishtar

Ishtar (English pronunciation /ˈɪʃtɑːr/; Transliteration: DIŠTAR; Akkadian: 𒀭𒈹 ; Sumerian𒀭) is the East Semitic Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of fertility, love, war, and sex. She is the counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna, and the cognate for the Northwest Semitic Aramean goddess Astarte.

Characteristics

Ishtar was the goddess of love, war, fertility, and sexuality.

Ishtar was the daughter of Anu. She was particularly worshipped in northern Mesopotamia, at the Assyrian cities of Nineveh, Ashur and Arbela (Erbil).

Besides the lions on her gate, her symbol is an eight-pointed star.

In the Babylonian pantheon, she "was the divine personification of the planet Venus".

Ishtar had many lovers; however, as Guirand notes,

Even for the gods Ishtar's love was fatal. In her youth the goddess had loved Tammuz, god of the harvest, and—if one is to believe Gilgamesh —this love caused the death of Tammuz.

Her cult may have involved sacred prostitution, though this is debatable. Guirand referred to her holy city Uruk as the "town of the sacred courtesans" and to her as the "courtesan of the gods".

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert Anson Heinlein (/ˈhaɪnlaɪn/; July 7, 1907 – May 8, 1988) was an American science fiction writer. Often called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was an influential and controversial author of the genre in his time.

He was one of the first science fiction writers to break into mainstream magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post in the late 1940s. He was one of the best-selling science fiction novelists for many decades, and he, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke are often considered to be the "Big Three" of science fiction authors.

A notable writer of science fiction short stories, Heinlein was one of a group of writers who came to prominence under the editorship of John W. Campbell, Jr. in his Astounding Science Fiction magazine—though Heinlein denied that Campbell influenced his writing to any great degree.

Within the framework of his science fiction stories, Heinlein repeatedly addressed certain social themes: the importance of individual liberty and self-reliance, the obligation individuals owe to their societies, the influence of organized religion on culture and government, and the tendency of society to repress nonconformist thought. He also speculated on the influence of space travel on human cultural practices.

    Ishtar

    by: Death SS

    Ishtar, great mother goddess
    Pro ecclesia sancta dei
    Pro ecclesia sancta dei
    Venus, star of the morning
    The supreme lady of love,
    Fecundity and delight
    You embody the divine
    Of womanly moonshine
    Your glance gives us the joy
    And you rewards our toil
    Ishtar, heal my soul's scar
    Love me, all the nightime!
    Mantis, majestic ruler
    You're holding in your hands
    The destiny of your men
    Sovereign, queen of all lovers
    You're fickle as the night
    You love and then deny
    I'll take your place in hell
    To break the ancient spell
    I offer you my life
    But stay with me, tonight
    Sunlight, rise and burn down!
    Love me, for the last time
    ..."Augusta betwwen Gods
    our Lady of the war.
    She's covered by love
    and full of all delight.
    Her lips are made of honey
    her mouth is all the life.
    Our goddess of all beauties
    and mother of the stars"...
    Ishtar, heal my soul's scar
    Love me, all the nightime!
    Sunlight, rise and burn down!
