Cult of Inanna

The Cult of Inanna was an ancient Mesopotamian religious tradition centered around Inanna, the goddess of love, fertility, and war. Worshipped primarily in Sumer and later Babylon, her cult involved rituals, offerings, and festivals intended to honor her and invoke her blessings. Inanna was considered a powerful and complex deity symbolizing both creation and destruction. The cult played a vital role in ensuring the prosperity and stability of society, with priesthoods conducting ceremonies believed to maintain divine favor. Over time, Inanna’s worship influenced other cultures and mythologies in the region.
