EPISODE 58
Published on April 12, 2020. Updated with additional contents and research on March 23, Edition
There has been rumors on the internet about the relationship between Ishtar and the Christian Easter Sunday. A lot of Christian fanatics defends this so much that they create unfounded historical evidence that has no place in the history of mankind, however, the question is, why are most biblical concepts always in conflict with pagan holidays and beliefs?
Let’s look at Christmas, some Christians claim that it’s a holiday that celebrates the birth of their savior, but then if you should look a bit deeper, you would be surprised at what you might discover, okay you can check it up here since I have it already published on this platform, at least there are two special articles exposing this fact, the first one is: THE BIRTH OF CHRIST: MYTHOLOGY OR HISTORICAL and the other one is; WHO IS HORUS THE SUN GOD By Knight Fredel Click on their images below or just click on the names herein, it would take you to the right page.
MOTHER INNANA, ASTARTE, ISHTAR, OR EASTER: WHO IS SHE?
SO, WHO IS THIS MAJESTIC GODDESS? According to information within my reach, Ishtar is a prominent figure in ancient Mesopotamian and ancient African spirituality, in fact both races share a lot in common that you might not see the difference except for the language, she was revered as the goddess of fertility and sexual love. just as she is known in Igbo cultures in Nigeria today, she in Igbo and in many other tribes is known as Aja Ani, or Ala, she is part of a special class of deities, and is the Akkadian counterpart of the West Semitic she was known as goddess Astarte. Ishtar is also identified with Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love and fertility. Her worship was widespread throughout the ancient Middle East, and she was associated with various symbols, including the lion and the eight-pointed star.
As the goddess of Venus, Ishtar was linked to bodily love and was the protectress of prostitutes and the patroness of alehouses. Her complex character encompassed both life-giving and destructive powers. As you can see, we are talking about the same goddess known and recognized by many races, thus, I always tell my students to stop fighting about whose spiritual path is the greatest, because they are all the same gods and goddesses, same spiritual knowledge and only our languages separates us.
if you must know, Easter wasn’t associated with the death and resurrection of Jesus, that bible story was a copy of its pagan original, instead it was a day set aside by the ancients to celebrate and acknowledge the goddess of sex and fertility, Ishtar, pronounced as Easter.
Nonetheless, the ancient Mesopotamians did not celebrate Easter as it is known today, which is a Christian festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. However, they did have their own festivals, such as the Akitu festival, which was celebrated to mark the spring equinox and involved ceremonies for the god Tammuz, who was associated with the cycle of seasons and vegetation.
Just as I have already said, she is and was known as the Goddess of Sex and fertility, she represents rebirth and resurrection, according to pagan mythologies, she had a husband, and his name was Tamuz. Ishtar and Tammuz were associated with death and resurrection due to their roles in the cycle of the seasons and agriculture. Tammuz, the god of fertility and agriculture, was believed to die each year during the dry season and was mourned by Ishtar, the goddess of love and fertility. This period of mourning was thought to correspond with the barren season. However, Tammuz was resurrected annually, symbolizing the return of life and fertility with the coming of the wet season and the rebirth of nature.
This cycle represented the natural processes of earth seasons, where the death of Tammuz during the dry season led to a lack of growth and fertility, and his subsequent resurrection brought about the renewal of life. These stories were deeply intertwined with the agricultural practices of the ancients, reflecting the essential connection between the divine and the earthly.
Honestly things are not as you see them, yes we might sometimes refer to these beings as mythologies, but not all myths are fairytales, so, at this point I think it would be best if you knew that these myths do not necessarily mean that these deities are only a mere symbolism for those seasons, no, it is more than that, instead it means that the seasons were dedicated to the deities.
For example, it was said that January was associated with Janus, the Roman god of beginning and time, the god of passageway or transition. So, the Romans completely and intentionally dedicated the first month of the year to this god, unlike some scholars claimed that the deity metaphorically represents the first month of the year.
In the days of our ancestors, when the farms were not doing well and the rain refused to come, they usually called on Ishtar to appease her during the spring equinox, which is the exact period Easter is celebrated today. And after the third day, it was believed that Tamuz had resurrected, and in the following weeks Ishtar would happily answer their prayers by making the crops green and healthy. The barren women who needed a child or children call upon Ishtar, and it was said to be done with the right rituals, and just like she made their earth fertile, so did she make the women fertile too. So, those special days and months were dedicated to those deities, and during those dedicated days or month etc, the deities were honoured, just as Tamuz and Ishtar are honoured during the spring equinox.
The concept of Easter has connections to various springtime celebrations of renewal and rebirth across diverse cultures. For instance, the name “Easter” is thought to not only come from the word Ishtar but was also derived from Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility which is the same as Ishtar or Innana, thus this is suggesting that some aspects of modern Easter celebrations may have been copied from the earlier pagan traditions.
Ishtar is controled by the Earth element, although, also represented with the Moon, she is sometimes known as the Earth goddess.
The origin of Sex Magick (which I am writing about in one of my next books) was associated to her worship and Spirituality as she had trained women who were priestesses and who use their sexual energies to heal their land, which was a deep spiritual craft currently being abused today by many spiritual organizations.
Sex was taken very seriously and sacred in the days of our ancestors that they made a law stating that if you do not love someone, then do not make love to that person, and they always had charged waist beads (for women) and charged hand bangles (for men) for protection, if they must have sex. Well, some of you might want to ask; why use charged objects to have sex?
The answer to that question was exposed in the previous article “SPIRIT HUSBAND AND SPIRIT WIFE” do well to hit on it and read in detail, but as usual I’ll give you a short insight on why they use such charms during sexual intercourse.
SEXUALITY AND ITS ENERGIES
It was discovered that during sexual intercourse, the two partners exchange energies, it’s like I give you mine, and you give me yours, now some ladies or some guys are toxic in sense that they have accumulated so much bad energy’s and karmic debts which are all negative, now when they have sex with someone who is clean, they end up giving that person some good amount of bad energy’s or negative karma's, it will be as if both of them have shared the negative karma's and bad energies.
This is why most times you experience bad lucks after having sex with some people, kits not like that, what you experienced isn’t and wasn’t meant for you, it was and belonged to your partner, but after the sexual intercourse, he or she has given you some of it to go home with too, and when you go, you start seeing negative experience, your energy level will suddenly drop, you will feel dull and suddenly you will find it hard to make sales that week or month if you are into selling of items and business of such.
Now this was why our ancestors do charge those objects to protect themselves from those negative vibes which might be exchanged between both. There are more, but I’ll stop here, if you want more on that topic, look up at the Spirit Husband and Spirit wife article when you are done here.
Ok, so Ishtar was related with Sex, Fertility, and love, and thus, Sex was kept Sacred and still sacred in our world today just that people were made to forget Ishtar and her knowledge on sacred Sex, although I am here now, and I will bring them all up.
In the days of our Ancestors, Ishtar was attributed with immortality as she carries about the symbol of Immortality as they said she holds the power to immortality, and the discovery of one's higher self, this I am sure refers to Arcane Knowledge.
IN CONCLUSION
Now, just as I already said at the beginning of this article, Ishtar was also known throughout the Igbo land, she was referred to as Ani, the Earth Goddess, and has other names in many other tribes.
Another question I was asked was that, why did the whites changed every other name of other holidays they adopted but didn’t forget to change the name of Ishtar from Easter Sunday since the word Easter and her Eggs and Bunny symbols had no place in Christianity or in Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Well I always tell them the truth; look, of all the Gods and Goddesses, the ones the whites feared most in Africa were the two Great Goddesses, Ishtar, the (Earth) Goddess of Sex and Fertility, and the Star of the Sea, also known as the Queen of Heaven, which many people refer to as the Ocean Goddess too, these two has shown them lots of things they are still unable to explain during the days they first attempted to exploit Africa when we were still strong and protected, when we haven’t abandoned our own.
So, while the Christians taught that the Ocean goddess was Evil, they are at the same time worshipping her as the Queen of Heaven or as Mary, while the earth Goddess is still given her respect every Easter in the name of Jesus’ resurrection, Thus, while they think its Jesus they worship; the truth remains that they indirectly worshipping Ishtar and Tamuz.
With all these said and certain questions answered, I am sure you now know who today belongs to, many of you might want to ask that if today isn’t Jesus' day of resurrection and December 25th isn’t his birth either, then when was Jesus born and when did he die and resurrected?
That is another sharp question, but you know what? I have written about it so deeply and I explained who Jesus is and made it clear that he was imaginary and self-created image by the Caucasians, a symbol used to brainwash Africans to exploit them and enslave them for their selfish ego, see the article Messianic or Christianity, click here.
So, we now know all about Ishtar, and note, this article will be updated further and more information within this week.
Blessed be
