Betsy Prioleau Quotes
Inanna, goddess of sexual allure and desire, was the supernova of Near Eastern deities. She cut a formidable figure. Despite the goddess’s role reduction to the sphere of sexuality, Inanna retained the cosmic authority of the prehistoric deities. Like them, she was the “Totality of What Is,” the “Lady of Blazing Dominion,” who contained multitudes and contradictions, and presided over life, death, and regeneration. Her numerous names reflect her myriad aspects: Queen of Heaven, Great Mother Cow, Princely Inanna, Lady of Vegetation, First Snake, First Daughter of the Moon, Lady of Raging Battle, and Bearer of Happiness. But her defining quality was her prodigal, hot-bodied female sexuality. She incarnated raw erotic desire, beyond societal laws and human control.
