Originating in ancient Mesopotamia, Inanna, also known as Ishtar, embodies love, fertility, war, and the cycle of creation and destruction. As Queen of Heaven and Earth, she reflects both fierce power and deep vulnerability. Her descent into the Underworld symbolizes profound transformation.

Ereshkigal, the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of the underworld, reigns as a formidable guardian of the realm of the dead. Known as the "Lady of the Great Earth" or "Queen of the Great Below," her domain, the Kur, is a shadowy and mysterious place. Her role as an overseer of death and transformation connects her with other underworld deities like Persephone and Hel, highlighting a shared human intrigue with the afterlife. Integral to Mesopotamian cosmology, Ereshkigal also holds a celestial connection as a symbol of Venus, embodying both the mysteries of death and the cycles of rebirth.
