Inanna -Devas of Blue ray -III

...I hope you enjoyed my articles, please read the previous parts...

Underworld trial of Ishtar ~

Ishtar didn’t meet any mercy from her sister Ereshkigal, who held her prisoner in the darkness and torture her using three plagues as test. That event symbolizes the three days and nights when Inanna was dead, before she was revived again. But she was too important goddess to be lost in Underworld, without to be able to go out. Her brother sun god Shamash and god of the moon Sinn asked help from powerful Enki (god of water and wisdom and father of Ishtar). Enki send Asushu-Namir to the Underworld with powerful spell with magic words, that made Ereshkigal lose her power and free both Ishtar and her husband Dumuzi.

She had to be brought to life. For this reason Enki created two strange beings (named Kurgarra and Calaturra) from the dirt under his nails. They sprinkled Inanna with waters of Life and gave her magical fruits from the Tree of life. In this way goddess was revived and saved.

In more famous version of the story, Ishtar and Dumuzi came back from the seven gates. At each gate goddess was given back her attributes, clothing and accessories. In this time the moon waxed from Dark to Full again, representing returning of magic abilities. Now Ishtar had the power over the Underworld together with Heaven and middle earth. Her husband Dumuzi was required to repeat his descend to land of death and stay there for some time each year. During this time the earth was without growing and vegetation, plants were asleep or wilting. When he returns back, he revived the nature again. The rains start to fall.

Symbolically the act of descending to the Underworld mean connection between consciousness and sub –consciousness, spiritual trials, overcoming obstacles and achieving soul rebirth. Her soul was revived again, in this way Ishtar wins the death and ascends in higher level of Mind. That experience made her power even stronger than before. The whole cycle is also metaphor of reincarnation cycle, where the human soul is born again for new life in higher levels.

(There are many versions and variations on this myth, as it was very popular between Mesopotamian people.)

Inanna - Devas of Blue ray -II

Descent to the Underworld (version 1)~

As many other goddesses Ishtar was symbolically connected to the space of Underworld (Persephone, Isis, Rhiannon) or where the death abide. This was place where her sister Ereshkigal ruled. Inanna wanted to spread her power in all levels of the world –middle and underworld, so she decided to take a risky adventure and show to her sister, she has stronger magical abilities than her and not afraid to descent to world of darkness. This was something like ritual of self-prove. Ereshkigal condemns her sister to death, for this highly arrogant act.

Descent to the Underworld (version 2)

Ishtar as a newly married with god Dummuzi, finds out that her sister Ereshkigal recently lost her husband. Filled with sadness and compassion, she decided to take the risky trip and descend to Underworld, the kingdom of her sister, where she has no power. Her aim was to console her sister in her loss. Instead to achieve that, she found herself in trap of Ereshkigal, who wanted to destroy her, and not to return Inanna in the middle earth.

Descent to the Underworld (version 3)

This story is similar to the Osiris –Isis – one day the god of harvest Dumizu was injured by a boar and died from his wounds. Inanna mourned her husband, so she went after him to the Underworld; this event is celebrated in special festival every year in July-August.

Seven gates to Underworld ~

Inanna`s way to the world of Death goes trough the seven Gates. These major gates were thought to represent the Seven main chakras in human body. By each of the gates she was demanded to strip and give to the gatekeeper one of her garments from her body. Finally she was required to enter the Underworld naked. Each gate cloth or accessory had symbolic meaning.

~ the first gate was symbol of the Crown chakra (violet). Here the goddess should give her belt or sandals. That diminished her Will.

~ the second gate was Third eye symbol (indigo). Inanna had to give to the keeper her bracelets or anklets. In this action she had to abandon her Ego.

~ Third gate represented Throat chakra (blue). Inanna should surrender her robe – in this way she abandons her Mind.

~ Fourth gate symbolized the Heart chakra (green). The lady of the moon should give away her Breast Cups. This made her separated from her Sex Role.

~ Fifth gate symbolized the Solar plexus chakra (yellow). Here Inanna had to give to gatekeeper her Rainbow necklace. In this way she gave away her Illumination.

~ Sixth gate represented the Sacral chakra (orange). At this gate Inanna had to separate from her precious earrings. In this way she abandons her Magical abilities.

~ Seventh gate symbolized the Root chakra (red). In this last gate the goddess has to surrender her authority with giving away her thousand petal diadem (crown). By this action she surrenders her being Goddess.

So, naked and vulnerable, stripped from all her authority and magical powers, she was forced to enter the sacred place of Underworld.

Visualization of Ishtar/ Inanna ~

Visualize her with long waving black hair, dressed in dark blue gossamer skirt and with covered breasts (breast cups). Her arms and belly are open, as she is goddess of sensual love. She is carrying pentagram of lapis lazuli round stone in her left hand, and has a headwear with star (Pentagram or eight pointed star) falling on her forehead. Her eyes are dark and sparkling with confidence and strength. She is lead by two lions. Above her head and above Crown chakra you can see blooming blue rose in a sphere. She is carrying caduceus with golden snake entangled on it. She has rainbow necklace shining in white light, bracelet on right arm with sign of the full moon with moons in two sides. She has also the sign of “fish” on her skirt. Sometimes she has golden girdle (belt) in form of snake on her waist.
