Goddess Ishtar

Goddess Ishtar, also known as Inanna, is an ancient Mesopotamian deity associated with love, war, and fertility. Worshipped primarily in Babylon and Assyria, she embodies the duality of passion and conflict. Ishtar is often depicted as a powerful woman, representing both nurturing and destructive forces. She is linked to the planet Venus and associated with natural cycles, bringing life and growth, but also wrath in battle. Her myths explore themes of desire, the human experience, and the tension between love and power, reflecting her complex role in ancient cultures.
