The Tarot Book of the Dead with Jenna Matlin
J
21:01Jenna MatlinGUEST
Oh, what a wonderful question.
J
21:04Jenna MatlinGUEST
When I built this, I was thinking about the descent of Inanna slash Ishtar and how in order for her to finally meet her sister, Ereshkigal, at the bottom of the underworld, she had to remove every item of clothing, right, until she was just herself.
J
21:21Jenna MatlinGUEST
And I felt that was a beautiful way to enact an initiatory journey for I would say almost all of them were very hard and resisted me.
J
21:31Jenna MatlinGUEST
And there was only one exception where the chapter was like the easiest chapter.
MESOPOTAMIA: The Cradle of Civilization | Sleep History Story (Rain Sounds)
S
32:02speaker_0NARRATOR
Enki, called Ea by the later Akkadians, was the god of wisdom, fresh water, and magic, a figure of enormous warmth and cunning, who frequently intervened on behalf of humanity when the more severe gods threatened destruction.
S
32:18speaker_0NARRATOR
And Inanna, later known as Ishtar, was perhaps the most vivid personality in the entire pantheon, goddess of love and war simultaneously, fierce and beautiful and terrifyingly powerful, whose myths crackle with an energy that reads as thoroughly alive even now.
S
32:37speaker_0NARRATOR
These were not remote deities, they were understood to be the literal owners of the cities they patronized.
S
32:44speaker_0NARRATOR
Uruk belonged to Inanna, Nippur to Enyel, Eridu to Enki.
S
32:51speaker_0NARRATOR
Each city was, in theological terms, the estate of its patron god.
S
32:57speaker_0NARRATOR
The land worked on the gods' behalf, the people living as the gods' dependent laborers.

34:34Jamie HanshawGUEST
And the priest class served the gods, and the people served the priest class, so it was a very stratified culture.
J
34:42Jamie HanshawGUEST
And one of the most interesting goddesses of this time was Inanna, and she was a gender-bending goddess.
J
34:51Jamie HanshawGUEST
So she was worshipped by cross-dressing, by ritual public sex, which was the legitimacy of the kingship that ruled over these cities.
J
35:04Jamie HanshawGUEST
They would have festivals called Akitu festivals where the king would copulate with the goddess in public and they would worship in this way.
J
35:38Jamie HanshawGUEST
Okay.
J
35:39Jamie HanshawGUEST
So let's see.
J
35:42Jamie HanshawGUEST
Talking about Inanna and Babylon.
J
35:44Jamie HanshawGUEST
So Sumer also was one of these cities.
#420 | Indigo Angel | WAR FOR THE STARGATES | What's Really Happening In The Middle East
I
13:15Indigo AngelGUEST
And so somehow, you know, they're using, you know, planetary tunneling technology to access and that somehow these intelligence forces knew that SS-10 was a Venus node.
I
13:28Indigo AngelGUEST
Hence why, you know, you have this connection to ancient Uruk, the Akkadians, the Sumerians, and also Inanna, which ultimately later became Ishtar, which ultimately later was that connection to Venus.
I
13:42Indigo AngelGUEST
And so I think that it was temple desecration, some sort of temple attack that they did, you know, through these devices and tunneling technologies.
I
13:52Indigo AngelGUEST
And ultimately, it was the first Stargate hijack that ever occurred on this Earth or on this planet.
I
14:07Indigo AngelGUEST
I think that SS10 was like the original location at which Draco somehow came through.
I
14:12Indigo AngelGUEST
And we know that this is through the Anunnaki.
I
14:15Indigo AngelGUEST
I'm not going to sit here and say that I know the exact events of when that specifically occurred, but I really feel like it has something to do with the Inanna temples and, you know, the first civilization of humanity, according to the Sumerian civilization.
I
14:29Indigo AngelGUEST
Yeah.

They Came From Nibiru — The Anunnaki Secret Hidden in Ancient Sumer
J
34:43JamesHOST
The name Enki-mi itself is significant in the way the chronology reads it because the ME in Sumerian tradition are objects or powers connected with civilization, authority, and specialized knowledge.
J
34:57JamesHOST
In one famous myth, Inanna obtains the ME from Enki and takes them to Uruk, carrying with her the powers associated with kingship, crafts, priesthood, music, and other aspects of civilized life.
J
35:10JamesHOST
Sitchin and later writers took that much more literally and imagined the ME as encoded information devices, something closer to compact technological packages than abstract divine qualities.
J
35:22JamesHOST
So Enki-mi becomes, in that reading, the human who is specifically taught the higher knowledge.
1 HR 2 MINS LATER
J
97:16JamesHOST
Horus later defeats Seth and brings him before the council, where the defeated rival is permitted to live, but loses his claim.
J
97:25JamesHOST
And then another family dispute explodes only a few centuries later.
J
97:29JamesHOST
Around 8670 BC, Dumuzi, Enki's youngest son, becomes involved with Inanna, granddaughter of Enlil.
J
97:38JamesHOST
Their union could have joined the two rival Anunnaki houses, and that made the possible heir politically explosive.
November Astrology Forecast, Venus & Mercury Move Forward!
E
1:41ErinHOST
For Venus, this feels especially significant after the journey we followed through October.
E
1:47ErinHOST
We use the Sumerian myth of Inanna's descent into the underworld as a way of understanding Venus's disappearance from the evening sky, her retrograde Kazemi, and her eventual return to Libra.
E
2:00ErinHOST
As November begins, Venus is back in her own domicile of Libra and re-emerging from the sun's beams as a morning star.
E
2:09ErinHOST
In the language of the myth, Inanna has emerged from the underworld and is returning to the heavens.
E
2:16ErinHOST
This heliacal rising is what ancient astrologers called phasis, meaning an appearance or emergence.
E
2:24ErinHOST
The planet becomes visible again after a period of invisibility, and traditionally this was considered significant, an omen that speaks.
17 MINS LATER
E
19:15ErinHOST
And remarkably, Venus stations direct on the very same day at 22 degrees of Libra.
E
19:22ErinHOST
After 40 days of retrograde motion, Venus has completed the backward portion of her journey as well.

The boundary parallels every threshold in the series.
S
6:50speaker_0NARRATOR
The gates of Kor, the seven gates of Inanna's descent, the river Giglamesh crossed on his living journey, the waters of death, the limit beyond which the Orphic soul must choose its spring.
S
7:02speaker_0NARRATOR
The threshold is the threshold regardless of tradition and regardless of century.
S
7:08speaker_0NARRATOR
The Aftermath The transformation of the relationship to death, the dissolution of fear, the certainty that something continues, parallels the testimony of the Eleusinian initiates, the Orphic practitioners, the Tibetan masters, and the Sufi poets.

Just to illustrate this, check out this Neo-Babylonian text.
A
3:25Andrew M. HenryHOST
records a widow during a famine dedicating her two sons to a temple of the Lady of Uruk, probably the goddess Ishtar, so that the temple would support them.
A
3:33Andrew M. HenryHOST
Her statement says, my husband has died and there is famine in the land.
A
3:38Andrew M. HenryHOST
She says she has marked her sons with the temple's star and gave them to the goddess.

Yeah.
