Reseña

ISHTAR: Goddess of Love & War explores the historical, symbolic, and ritual dimensions of Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess associated with desire, protection, prophecy, warfare, kingship, and the planet Venus. Drawing from her forms in Uruk, Nineveh, Arbela, and Babylon, the book presents Ishtar as a complex force of love and conflict, beauty and authority, attraction and disciplined power. Its chapters combine historical background with modern practices centered on the eight-pointed star, Morning and Evening Venus, boundaries, offerings, covenant, victory, and personal sovereignty. Rather than presenting a soft romantic archetype, the work emphasizes clarity, responsibility, discernment, and the disciplined governance of one’s own territory.
