About the Book

Inanna was the most important deity of ancient Sumeria, the land now called Iraq. She was revered as the goddess of fertility, of rhythm and the seasons. She represents many opposites, light and dark, life and death, body and spirit, passivity and action. Without the dark resting period of winter there can be no growth in the summer. Without the peacefulness of thought there can be no just and wise decisions. A bunch of reeds is her symbol, for reeds which grow at the edges of the dark watery depths represent the transition between one stage and another. She was a vital life-giving figure who gave a sense of balance and equilibrium. Her tale was written in cuneiform script on clay tablets around 2,500BC and is one of the very first recorded stories. It is only comparatively recently that it has been translated. The journey she decides to undertake to the underworld requires enormous courage and perseverance. Bit by bit her identity is dismantled as she descends into ever-increasing darkness. She undergoes the loss of everything she holds dear. However, nothing is wasted, rather it is re-formed. In the darkness of the chaotic matrix where everything is possible she is dissolved into a state of complete unknowing. This is the stage at which transformation can take place. Just as the caterpillar dissolves in the chrysalis and emerges totally transformed as a butterfly, so the old Inanna returns from the underworld with a new consciousness.
