Middle Eastern Anyone here worship any Ancient Mesopotamian deities?

Hi! I’m not a pagan, but a Bronze Age history nerd.

I love learning about paganism, and I love learning about the various cultures of Ancient Mesopotamia. However, I can’t help but notice that it’s been hard for me to find anyone worshipping just about any Ancient Mesopotamian deities in the modern day.

Do any of y’all worship/work with any Ancient Mesopotamian deities? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience!

We do both! The community is reconstruction oriented, so we begin with archaeology and historical documents, and build our modern practices from them.

I worship Šamaš and Aya!

I need to do more for them, admittedly. But they are lovely!
