Descent of Inanna
ILLUSTRATION OF A JOURNEY INWARDS
In Sumerian mythology, Inanna was known as the Queen of Heaven and Earth, the First Daughter of
the Moon and the Morning and Evening Star (Venus). She was responsible for the growth of plants
and animals and fertility. Due to her journey to the underworld, she took on powers and mysteries of
death and rebirth, emerging as the goddess who rules the sky, earth and the underworld. She is the
‘ruler-wife-lover-redeemer, who all worshipped and from whom all life flowed.’
The beautiful and symbolic story of Inanna has much to teach us about letting go of false identities,
embracing vulnerability, facing our shadow and reclaiming wholeness. The powerful story of the
descent by Inanna into the underworld, stripped bare before her sister Ereshkigal, the Queen of the
Underworld, and her ascent back to Earth is retold with insight, deep reflection and meditations to fully
understand the significance of Inanna’s story for all of us.
Join us on this journey to your own underworld to face your shadow and emerge in wholeness.
