Once upon a time, in an uncertain place far away from here, at the doors of Hell, there stood a tall turkey oak. It had 77 roots and 77 branches. On the 77 roots stood 77 dragons. On the 77 branches sat 77 crows. Let the one who doesn't listen to my tale have his soul stolen by the 77 dragons, and his eyes pecked by the 77 crows!

Inanna, the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of war, fertility, beauty, and love. Born from the moon god Nanna, Inanna is young and unruly, constantly trespassing onto other god’s domains. However she’s incredibly strong as the other gods feared her mere presence. Inanna held many lovers, however it is known that she doesn’t treat them with the highest respect, sometimes she’s even accused of abusing them. Despite this when her lover Dumuzid had been murdered she personally travelled to the underworld and brought him back to the world of the living. Her most prevalent role came in the epic of Gilgamesh, wherein Gilgamesh rejected Inanna’s proposition for him to become her new consort. Angered by his decision Inanna sent the bull of heaven to attack Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh however was able to kill the bull, but not without losing his closest companion Enkidu.
Inanna is the first of the many names given to the goddess, the name Ishtar was given to her later on by the Assyrians and the Babylonians. Despite her being a goddess of love and being called the queen of heaven, she was never once depicted by her worshipers as a mother goddess, scant few sources even mention her being a mother at all. Her origin traces back to the Semitic goddesses Astarte and Anat, with Inanna’s war and fertility traits most likely being derived from them. Inanna was also conflated with the Arabian Al-lat, an ancient Arabian mother goddess. Her worship was incredibly popular, as she held more titles and stories dedicated to her than any other god in Mesopotamia, she’s even mention in the Bible. Her cult was also very sexually inclusive, as those outside the binary norm found solace in her worship.

“…I’m not going to ask,” Zechs decided eventually. “I think I’m afraid of the answers I’d get.”
“You’re demonstrating excellent judgement there.”
