Around 2,300 BC Enheduanna was high priestess to the moon god Nanna at his temple in Ur, a position she held for almost forty years. This volume translates Enheduanna's three devotional poems to the goddess Inanna accompanied by an extensive commentary and discussion which places these highly personal and unique expressions within the context of Sumerian culture and religion. The author highlights the importance of the poems and the princess for our understanding of the place of women in Near Eastern society and religion.

When stars were many and people few, a great story was told everywhere. The first storytellers were women. Their story was so large it filled the universe it told of a Great Mother encompassing life, death and return of everything. When Neolithic farming people settled, and depended on plentiful crops and herds, a goddess of fertility stepped into stardom. Inanna is the Sumerian goddess of love, crescent moon, evening star, fertility and renewal. She is the longest lasting supreme goddess of the Ancient Near East. Inannas biography includes her rise to supreme holder of almost all the powers of culture and civilization. 5000 year old poems bring Inanna to life. She sings to her miraculous vulva and to her consort-lover; she struggles to keep her powers and complains of her losses and demotions. Inanna represents lifes powerful contradictions. She changes peace to war and back again; she causes strife and brings love; she turns women into men and men into women. Inanna loves all her people, every one. A biography must have adversity and Inanna has plenty; she must always conquer of the ever-rising tide of patriarchal domination in all its forms. Buried and forgotten for two millennia, she now steps from the dust, ties up her sandals, applies her kohl, adjusts her tiara, summons her lions, and returns. Her story is also womans story. Let me introduce you to Inanna, Queen of Heaven, Earth, and almost everything

Inanna was the great goddess of the Sumerians, a people who lived 5000 year ago in the place we know today as Iraq where was created the first urban civilization in human history. Inanna, the goddess of sexual love and connected with the planet Venus was responsible for the fertility of the land and the later goddesses, the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus adopted many aspects of Inanna. The kings worshipped Inanna and celebrated with her the Sacred Marriage rite, but they also needed her help during the many wars they were waging, which gave Inanna the aspects of a warrior goddess. As love goddess Inanna had a passionate love life and her great love was the shepherd Dumuzi, not a god, but a mortal human who wandered about the steppe with his cattle. The peasants sang love songs about Inanna and Dumuzi during the many feasts of the successive agricultural seasons, believing that their love affair stimulated the fertility of the crops and the fecundity of the livestock. But their idyll was not to last for long as Dumuzi was gruesomely murdered. The answer to the question of who killed Dumuzi and why, is hidden deep in the history of the ancient agrarian communities. The Sumerians wrote their texts on clay tablets that once dried could be preserved until our own day and thanks to this miraculous piece of luck we can cognizance of a number of magnificent hymns and myths written about Inanna. These archaic texts call up human emotions that find an answering response in the hearts of people today and are still capable of moving us deeply. In this book the myths are told against the back ground of Sumerian civilization and various aspects of society from this time are also discussed, such as convent life, divine kingship and funeral rites. One aspect of the funeral rites was The Great Wailing, a rite in which Inanna had an important role and which appears to have been performed in many countries around the Mediterranean in the Bronze Age and has left traces even in the Old and New Testament. Henriette Broekema's book makes the complex character and history of goddess Inanna accessible to the ordinary reader and based on the texts from that time, in twenty six richly illustrated chapters, she succeeds in bringing the astonishing world of the goddess Inanna to life.

Tamara Albanna weaves the tale of Inanna's despair, strength and triumph-giving children of all ages hope that the dark times in life will pass. Arna Baartz illustrates this journey with gorgeous paintings of the owls, lions, stars, sun and moon that direct Her. My Name is Inanna is dedicated to Tamara's beloved homeland, Iraq-The Cradle of Civilization; the Land of the Goddess. Praise for My Name is Inanna "Full of meaning and insight, with stunning illustrations, this simple, poetic version of the ancient myth glimmers like the "inner star" the author describes, showing where to turn for guidance." -Marilyn McFarlane, author of Sacred Myths: Stories of World Religions and Sacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions "The Girl God does it again with this inspiring, lyrical read! In My Name is Inanna, Tamara Albanna and Arna Baartz team up to bring the goddess of love to life for even the youngest readers. As human children, we will all face times of struggle and darkness in our lives. The powerful story of Innana, as told in these pages, reminds us that we too can trust ourselves and let our own inner star of intuition guide our way. An important message for us all!" - Melia Keeton-Digby, author of The Heroines Club: A Mother-Daughter Empowerment Circle "In My Name is Inanna, Tamara Albanna provides a guiding star for girls and young women: their own divine power. The story is beautifully and simply presented in the voice of the Sumerian Goddess Inanna, who is deeply aware of her own power, and of the need for its guidance through difficult times. Inanna is indeed a powerful Goddess, wise and strong, who knows about the sun and moon and love. She knows too that the best guidance we have-the only thing that navigates us through darkness-is our divine inner power. This is such a deeply necessary message for girls and women to hear, and so healing-that we need not look outside ourselves for strength and wisdom. The powerful message of this book is perfectly complemented by Arna Baartz's radiant artwork. On these pages, girls dance, owls spread their wings, lions sit calmly in their strength, and women embrace themselves, in darkness and light. I highly recommend My Name is Innana-buy it for yourself, for your daughter or niece or cousin, for any and all of the girls and women in your life. Its message is one we must return to again and again: our power is within, and it is both healing and mighty." -Elizabeth Hall Magill, author of Defining Sexism in the U.S.

An ancient evil plaguing a small area of the South Pacific has been the focus of an equally ancient, very secret fraternity for hundreds of years. Many sacrificed their lives in the struggle to understand and overcome it. Why! They wanted to know, were the neighboring islanders driven to insane wars, the deforestation of their islands and illogical religions demanding human sacrifices? "The Watchers" had to resolve the conflict, but could they? Finally, the Ascended Brotherhood designated one man, a Hjet, to stand as a fence between the good and the evil. Imagine his surprise upon learning the enigma they so long withstood was a very special woman. That she was once known as the goddess of love and war describes her conflicted personality perfectly. How does a lone man whose personal crusade has been avoidance of passion stand as a fence between love and war, the very outer extremes of passion? Robert G. Makin is also the author of Return to Masada, Strathnaver Legends and Aleister Through The Looking Glass. His ongoing theme of "What if" carries through into Faces of Inanna. "What if" the ancients were right in their belief that the gods were immortal? If so, they are still among us. "What if" Sitchin was right in his interpretation of the tablets of Sumer? If so, Humanity was created to be a slave race. Maybe those old gods think we still are?
