MORE
ABOUT ISHTAR
Ishtar's energy represents love, fertility, passion and sexuality. Babylonians have
honoured Ishtar as a goddess who inspires lovers everywhere to stop for a moment and
connect with the fertile energy she brings. The city of Mari worshiped Ishtar as a birth
goddess symbolised by the Urn of Life held tight to her belly. Even the Christians have
borrowed aspects of the womanly Ishtar and incorporated the divine love of a mother for
her dying son into their Virgin Mary.
She is descended from the goddess of romance, Venus, and her energy encompasses all
that is "woman" - nurturing mother, inspired companion, playful bed partner,
wise advisor, insightful leader. She is revered especially on days of the full moon, when
it is right to engage in joyful acts of lovemaking to celebrate being "woman".
HER MODERN
ENERGY
Are you feeling that someone is making you feel like a workhorse instead
of the wondrous being you really are? They are taking advantage of your
conditioned mindset that others needs come before your own. It is time to
tune into your own needs and paying them some attention in order to
rejuvenate your core style and grace.
DO THIS
Bring Ishtar's loving warmth to your heart and home on the night of a full moon,
(ideally on her feast day, 22 April). Wear clothes or jewellery that contain Ishtar's symbolism - stars, the moon, the lion or
the dove. Play a drum with your hands, holding it between your legs. Listen to
your heartbeat and send it through your shoulders, arms and hands to the drum, and feel
the infinite power of connection to the earth as the vibrations travel back through your
body to your core. Energy flows, love grows.
