Inanna- The decent from the above to the great below

02/27/23 • 44 min

This episode I visit the second oldest recorded story from ancient Sumer, The Descent of Inanna. This story was translated from cuneiform tablets and placed into story form. It is a truly beautiful story with depths beyond depths. I see this story in our everyday lives and it gives us solutions with how to move through the constant up and downs that are present in our lives.
I have been working on creating illustrations to accompany this story, still in progress.

Athena- Beyond the wisdom

Lets get beyond the trading card version of gods. Listing off their facts like baseball stats. What is the purpose, what doc gods teach us about how to be in this world?
For my purpose, I say Athena teaches us how to find ourselves and learn what we think is important. Because do we even think we can understand the gods, the mysteries of this world if we cannot understand our own internal workings?
In this episode, I have a ramble on self awareness and Athena’s backstory then give her a new story where she returns to one of her historical birth places.
Take a listen and change your life.
