“Una prostituta compasiva soy”, dice Ishtar. Ishtar
no es una diosa del matrimonio, ni es una diosa
madre. El matrimonio sagrado o la sacra
hierogamia que se representaba todos los años en
el templo babilónico no tiene un implicación moral
ni es modelo de matrimonios terrestres, es un rito
de fertilidad altamente estilizado con tonos litúrgicos.
En Sumeria, Inanna es una diosa importante. Pero a partir del rey Sargon.
Cuando se dice que ella no está relacionada con la tierra ni con las diosas madres, sino que es como una inspiración lunar me veo reflejada en ella. Y en esa forma de caída tambien en el amor, el que ella se vea reflejada en la compasión de las prostitutas, tal vez la última forma de amar posible...
Me llama la atención la mitología mesopotámica,
de Babilonia y de Sumeria porque mi nombre en
verdad Esther se corresponde con ella.
Con su muerte, todo el mundo comenzó a
languidecer. Pero el fiel Papsukal llegó hasta los
dioses y les pidió que creasen un ser capaz de
entrar en el mundo de los muertos y resucitase a
Ishtar con la comida y el agua de la vida. Así es
como Ishtar volvió a la vida, pero tenía que pagar
el precio: durante seis meses al año, Tammuz
debe vivir en el mundo de los muertos. Mientras
está allí, Isthar ha de lamentar su pérdida; en
primavera, vuelve a salir y todos se llenan de gozo.
Me interesa el estudio de estas epocas y
religiones, precisamente por la existencia del
matriarcado
Aquí no se trataría de un poder mercantil o un
poder de sujeción meramente a la esclavitud, sino
de un efectivo poder de la mujer, es ella quien en
definitiva tiene que aceptar su misión con
benevolencia, de lo contrario no lo haría.
Y me gustaría redundar en el papel tolerante de la
mujer en muchos casos de las biografías
personales y de la historia, pero ello no quiere
decir que con ello se nos someta. Al menos no
creo que ese sea mi caso.
No olvidemos que Ishtar es tambien una diosa de
la guerra, tiene un papel complejo en la sociedad
sumeria.
En su aspecto de divinidad amorosa Isthar es la
protectora de las prostitutas y de los amoríos
extramaritales, que por cierto no tenían
connotación especial en Babilonia, ya que el matrimonio era un contrato solemne que
perpetuaba la familia como sostén del estado y como generadora de riquezas, pero en el que no
se hablaba de amor o de fidelidad amorosa.

Tú hablas de "actitudes" y me recuerdas al filosofo
español Aranguren, pero es que hay tantas clases
de actitudes, de talantes, para diferenciar del
simple comportamiento, es un concepto que usais
en psicologia tambien, que incluye un aspecto de
racionalidad.
Pues eso que hoy me has cogido pensando sobre
Isthar, astarte, astoreth, mesopotamia, fenicia y
babilonia!!!!

I have changed my name again and now I use Ishtar, because my true name is Esther.
I want to tell you because in mythology sumer (mesopotamia)) Ishtar has a meaning similar to persephone, when dying descends to hades or hell but it is rescued by the Gods and they allow her to return every six months in the spring to the Earth world.
I hope that you are well and you understand my English.
Kisses!
"Ishtar:.....el amante sumerio...... " Ishtar, señora del firmamento, poderosa diosa del amor y de la guerra". "Ishtar, lady of the firmament, powerful goddess of the love and the war". "
" A compassionate prostitute I am ", says Ishtar. Ishtar neither is a goddess of the marriage, nor is a goddess mother. The sacred marriage or the sacred hierogamia that was represented every year in the Babylonian temple neither have one moral implication nor is a model of terrestrial marriages, it is a rite of fertility highly cultived with liturgical tones. In Sumeria, Inanna is an important goddess. But from the king Sargon.

When one says that it is not related to the Earth nor to the goddesses mothers, but that she is as a lunar inspiration I am myself reflected in her. And in that way of fall also in the love, the one that make she herself is been reflecting in the compassion of prostitutes, perhaps the last way to love possible...
Mesopotámica mythology calls the attention to me,
of Babylonia and Sumeria because my name in
truth, Esther, corresponds with her.
With her death, everybody began
to languish. But the faithful Papsukal arrived until
the Gods and he requested to them that they created a being able
to enter the world of deads and revived to
Ishtar with the food and the water of the life. Thus it is
as Ishtar returned to the life, but had to pay
the price: during six months to the year, Tammuz
must live in the world of deads. While
it is there, Isthar has to lament its loss; in
spring, it returns to leave and everybody fill of joy.
It interests the study of these times and
religions, indeed by the existence of
the matriarcat.
Here would not be a mercantile power or
a power of subjection merely to the slavery, but
of a cash to be able of the woman, is she whom in
definitive it has to accept its mission with
benevolence, otherwise she would not do it.
And I would like to result in the tolerant paper of
the woman in many cases of the personal 
biographies and history, but it does not mean
that it is put under to us. I do not believe that,
at least that is not my case.
We do not forget that Ishtar is also a goddess of
the war, has a complex paper in the society
sumeria.
In his aspect of divinity loving Isthar is
protector of prostitutes and of love affairs
extramarital, that by the way they had not
connotation special in Babylonia, since the marriage was a solemn contract that
perpetuated the family as you maintain of the state and like generating of wealth, but in whom
it was not spoken of love or loving fidelity.

You speak of "attitudes" and you remember me to Spanish
philosopher Aranguren, but there are so many classes
of attitudes, of wills, to differentiate from
the simple behavior, is a concept that usais
in psychology also, that includes a rationality aspect
.
Then today you have taken me thinking on
Isthar, astarte, astoreth, mesopotamia, Phoenician and
Babylonian!
