I am currently in the process of migrating the content shared here to a series of new websites hosted at shirleytwofeathers.com.

As you explore this site, you may find links to a "page not found" instead of something cool and magickal. For this I apologize. I am very working hard behind the scenes to restore those pages along with a link to their homes on my new website where they can be viewed in full.

We should not use the word "prostitute" for Inanna/Ishtar or her priestesses. That word is a curse of the patriarchy. That word turns love into violence. That word degrades and dehumanizes. That word enslaves and tortures. Inanna/Ishtar is not a prostitute. The Sisters of Inanna/Ishtar are elders, not prostitutes.

Goddess bless.
