🦁🐍 March 29th is one of the ancient festivals of #Ishtar/#Inanna, goddess of fertility, love, war and righteous vengeance. She rules the planet #Venus. She is often accompanied by lions and serpents. You want her on your side 4SURE! 🦁🐍
A beautiful queen descends to the Underworld to understand death, then returns to find her unfaithful consort has taken her throne. Meg Elison notes that this isn’t just the myth of Inanna – it’s also the plot to Greta Gerwig’s new film BARBIE.
