Hymn To Inanna

Tweet

O Queen of the Seven Gods, O radiant splendor

of light, fountain of life, darling of Heaven

and Earth, priest, daughter and servant of Heaven!

Jewelled and crowned with life, born to be Lord,

in your hand are the guardian spirits of the Seven Gods,

and you yourself guard and protect the guardian spirits,

you have taken them up and tied them to your hands,

have gathered them in and pressed them to your breast.

You can fill the land with poison like a snake,

plants vanish from the earth when you thunder like Anu,

at your command the floods come down from the mountain.

Supreme in power, Inanna of Heaven and Earth,

whose mouth rains sparkles of lightning over the land,

mistress of beasts, given the gods' life-spirits

by An, by An given the unfailing Word

to speak at his fateful command: who can fathom your glory?...

O wild and rampant, eldest daughter of the Moon,

Queen greater than An, who can pay you sufficient homage?

Queen of Queens, who in accordance with the spirits

were greater than your mother the moment you were born,

wise and knowing queen of all the lands,

mother of men and animals, I sing your praise...

I have entered before you in my holy garments,

I the princess imperial, Enheduanna,

singing as I carried your ritual baskets,

High Priestess of the Moon. But now no longer

can I serve the goodly temple that I established,

for the day that dawns in Ur scorches my skin

and the sand of the Southwind overwhelms me at nightfall,

My honey sweet voice is hoarse and strident

and all that gave me pleasure has fallen to dust.

"I, WHAT AM I AMONG LIVING CREATURES!"

An, An, give to punishment the rebels

that hate Inanna, and split their cities' walls!

Enlil, curse them, and let their children perish

with no mother there to soothe them!...

The queen of queens, the prop of all the nations,

accepted Enheduanna's prayers. Her heart

was again as of old, the day became propitious,

Inanna showered her beauty and allure

and joy like silver moonlight over our land!

Ancient Nanu in wonder and awe, and Ningal

her mother, worshiped her at the templ's doorstep.

Priestess, queen, noble commander of gods,

destroyer of barbarians, whom An made protector of spirits,

Queen, clothed in allure and attraction, Inanna: Praise!

To Greyshield With Love

The circle cast about us.
The Gods bear witness to our love.
The Watchtower Guardians keep
silent vigil.
Our Brothers and Sisters stand with us.
The Lord and Lady have granted
us audience.
The Candlelight reflects the love
in your eyes.
A love that we have shared before,
Not even death to come between us.
We stand together, hand in hand.
Our paths have merged again.
The Moon beckons us to join Her,
gladly we go.
The Lady smiles upon us.

Heathen Gods And Rites Some Frequently Asked Questions

Book: Heathen Gods And Rites Some Frequently Asked Questions by The Troth

Our gods belong to two "tribes", the Aesir and the Vanir. Our myths speak of a time when the Aesir and Vanir were at war, but made a truce and exchanged members. This myth may be based in part on Historical battles between human tribes who later formed an alliance; at the same time, it reflects the ways in which our gods work Together. Perhaps the best-known of the Aesir is Odin.

He is the god of many things: inspiration, ecstasy, poetry, healing, the runes, and death. Frigga, whom we see as Odin’s wife, protects homes and families. Thor is the storm-god who defends the world of humans. The lightning is his weapon, the Hammer; the rain that he brings makes the fields fruitful. Tyr is the upholder of right order and justice, both among humans and in the universe. Heimdall is the watchman of the gods, and also the progenitor and teacher of the human race.

The Vanir are sometimes called "fertility gods", but they are far more than that; they are the gods of all the things in this world that we are meant to enjoy, whether good harvests, sexual love, or riches. Frey is invoked for peace and plenty; he and Odin were also the founders and protectors of many dynasties of Heathen kings. His sister Freya rules over magic, sexuality, and riches, but is also a battle goddess—she takes half of those slain in battle to be with her. Their father Njordh watches over the sea, ships, sailors, and trade.

The Jotnar or "giants" are a third group of Powerful beings. Many of our myths tell of fights between the gods and the giants. However, the Jotnar are not "evil" as the word is usually understood. On one level, some of the Jotnar represent the impersonal forces of nature: not malicious, but sometimes destructive, and not especially heedful of human concerns. Yet others of them are depicted as wise and helpful. In fact, some giants have been adopted among the gods, and nearly all our gods have giants in their ancestry.

A Song Of Town

Tweet

"SING now of London

At fall of dusk;

A summer dragonfly-

Crept from the husk.

Dragonfly, on whose wing

Run golden wires;

So, down a street pavement,

Lamps throw their fires.

Dragonfly, whose wing is pricked

By many a spark;

Electric eyes of taxis

Bright through the dark.

Dragonfly, whose life is

Cold and brief as dew,

Drone now for London dusk,

Soon dead too."

Dead, but not forgotten. We remember Raoul Loveday, Thelemic Saint, whose great destiny was not cancelled but merely postponed awhile.

Originally uploaded by *sugar*. O The Ever-present Glorious Lord,

All praise belongs unto You.

Let my heart sing Your praise ceaselessly.

O The Most Aware,

Surely You are aware of my poor heart.

Bless it, evolve it to Your liking.

O The Originator,

Take my heart to its original innocence.

O The Manifest,

Give Your vision to my heart to Manifest Your Signs.

O The Most Loving One,

Give love in my heart and purify it.

O The Truth,

Prepare my heart to hold Your Truth.

O The Preserver,

Preserve my heart in its purity.

O The Accepter of Prayers, accept my prayers, since if you turn away there is none to turn to!

Surely You are the Most Clement to Your devotees.
