Goddesses are present and active in Sumerian mythology. They take action, They challenge male gods, take Them to court if the Gods misbehave and captivate us with Their wit, passion, resourcefulness, magick and power. Although as time goes by towards the Babylonian and Assyrian states, female power decreases, the presence of Goddesses was always strong in Mesopotamia. In other words, the Divine Masculine was not alienated from the Divine Feminine.

Here, we will try to retrieve a bit of the image of the Divine Feminine in Mesopotamia as much as our sources allow us. For Goddesses are archetypes of wholeness that help us to stretch our limits and possibilities of being and becoming... one more time for men and women alike.
