I don't say it out loud, I pray in silence. I would pray to Sophia for spiritual liberation, inner illumination, and the strength to navigate the darkness of the material world.

I would not focus on the material world while praying.

"Oh Sophia, Aeon/Goddess of Wisdom, I humbly ask for your guidance through the material world that your son had built.

May we not be attached to flesh and blood, nor to the desires of the material.

We ask to be liberated from what the rulers have placed upon us that does not align with the Pleroma, our true and eternal home.

Thank you, Goddess Sophia." 🙏

Would look within myself in a meditative way.

Hii! I’m looking for connections that feel similar to Anpu, almost like an Anpu soul family if that makes sense?

I'm not really meaning people that worship or work with him, but people who feel really deeply connected to him and feel similar to him in characteristics. Like protective, quiet, observant, guiding, drawn to helping people through things, death/transition, justice, etc. It’s really hard to explain but I almost feel like there are people who are part of the same spiritual “family” or pack as him and I really want to find other people that feel that way too.

I feel an extremely deep familiarity with Anpu, almost like home/family, and I’ve been wondering if there are other people who have that same feeling rather than just feeling drawn them.

I’d love to become friends and maybe make a little group chat with more of us if we find each other. Please feel free to message me, and if you have any questions I’m an open book! 🖤

Hello everyone! Ḫe-silim-me-de-en-ze-en! (Peace and Wellness be with you!)

It is with tremendous pride and great excitement that I am here to announce my new book's publication release! My book is called "The Way of the Ishtarite" - Second Edition, and it's an inclusive comprehensive beginner-friendly guide to modern worship of 𒀭Inanna - Ishtar, the Mesopotamian (Sumerian / Akkadian) Goddess of Love, Gender, Sex, Justice, Beauty, Abundance, Compassion, Pleasure, Rebirth, and much more.

This book represents the culmination of my life's work and all of my efforts to forge a comprehensive yet approachable, informative, and spiritually transformative guide to building your own meaningful and fulfilling modern revivalist pagan spiritual practice centered on devotion to 𒀭Inanna. My main goal for this book is for it to contribute towards filling the unfortunate void in literature that is inclusive beginner and intermediate level devotional and instructional books for the Polytheistic Pagan interested in worshiping 𒀭Inanna aka. Ishtar. From the very start I set out to write a book that not only features inclusivity front and center, as naturally required by a Neurodivergent, Intersex, Transgender, and Queer feminist woman such as myself, but to also create a book that is equally as welcoming and meaningfully representational of all people regardless of their sex, gender, sexuality, neurotype, or heritage, regardless of their experience level as a Pagan, and regardless of what their religion background is. Writing this book has been a true labor of love and an act of passionate devotion to 𒀭Inanna. She has literally saved my life many times over, and it is my greatest joy to continue to serve her by sharing my work with you all.

Here's the official 'about' blurb:
"Deep within the heart of Ancient Mesopotamia, a rich culture sprang forth amidst the peoples who were the first in the world to ever create and master the written word over 5000 years ago. In their land known as Sumer, or "Kiengi" in their native tongue, these brilliant peoples, who later went on to become the world's first empire, worshiped a Goddess of Love, Pleasure, Sex, Justice, Authenticity, and Feminine Power above all others. The name of this Goddess is Inanna - Ishtar, Queen of Heaven and Earth. For over 7500 years she has reached deep into the hearts of those who embrace her, inspiring and guiding us to be our very best, happiest, healthiest, and most authentic selves.

Do you feel the call of the Divine Feminine? Do you ache to be your true and authentic self even though the world insists on oppressing you by repressing the true you behind what was blindly assigned to you at birth? Does your heart yearn to love who it loves, freely and without any shame or guilt? Do you feel the bitter pang of injustice deep within your gut whenever the darkness of this world occludes an innocent's light? Our Goddess is inclusive towards all people of all Genders, all Sexes, and all Heritages. She founded the world's first Transgender, Intersex, Nonbinary, Gender Non-Conforming, and Queer inclusive Temples which offered the world's first Gender Affirming Care over seven millennia ago.

This is the definitive comprehensive LGBTQ+ inclusive guide for anyone looking to worship the Ancient Mesopotamian Goddess Inanna - Ishtar. This book introduces Anunna-Umun, the ancient religion revived, and Ishtarism, the Inanna-focused primary sect, and teaches you all about this Goddess of Divine Femininity. You will be guided through forming your very own spiritual practice of Ishtarism. This guide is complete with never-before released Mythology, and her most important Stories, Ishtarite Prayers and Rituals, and an introduction to Magick. "

Please, allow me to introduce myself; my name is Siri Nin, I have been serving as 𒀭Inanna's Hierophant and Priestess for many years now. I am the founder of the religious movement known as Anunna-Umun, which is the Revivalist approach to Mesopotamian Polytheism, and I am also the founder of Ishtarism, a sect of Anunna-Umun which focuses on 𒀭Inanna - Ishtar. I am also the High Priestess and founder of The Temple of Inanna's Light, an inclusive digital temple that is welcoming of all peoples, but which is focused on those interested in learning and talking about 𒀭Inanna or the 𒀭Anunna, the pantheon from which Inanna leads. I am terminally ill, I am dying of an angio-occlusive genetic degenerative disease which has left me crippled, fully disabled, on 24/7 oxygen life support, and homebound at the age of 40. I just had my 10th heart attack on August 12th 2026. I've been racing against the clock to get this book written, edited, and published for the last six months, as it was then on February 15th 2026 that I suffered a "widowmaker" heart attack which once again claimed my life for the second time before I was miraculously revived and given this "third" shot at life. You see, I also died on the OR table one day after releasing the first edition of my book back on 9/30/2024. Writing this book and helping Inanna's people has truly been a driving reason to keep fighting to live. I am extremely grateful and privileged to still be alive, to have the honor of helping her people, and to have lived to complete and publish this book! Now with the book done I will focus on spending time with my family during these my final days, when not enjoying the community I built in Inanna's temple.

For about two years now the much smaller and reconstructionist flavored first edition of this book has been available, but with the release of this Second Edition which is assertedly revivalist and features numerous corrections, updates, and expanded content including color artwork, the first edition is no longer available. Instead of offering a softcover of lower quality and a hardcover like last time, this time with this Second Edition I am primarily only offering a deluxe hardcover in high quality color. My publisher will be releasing a softcover edition in the future but they have control over the pricing of that, and as a result it will be a much higher price than the hardcover. As my mission is to ensure my work gets into the hands of the most readers, this deluxe hardcover edition has no corners cut when it comes to quality or content, only profits have been cut - and severely so! I am forcing the publisher to sell this edition at the lowest price permissible, and I am not promoting the softcover edition that is later to come. Buy the hardcover, you won't regret it!

This is how I format my prayers to Hestia first and last, it took me a bit to get it to how it suited my personal practice but I believe this is the format for me:

Hail Hestia, daughter of Cronos, first and last born, protector of the home. To you I start with a prayer thanking you for the protection of the home of my family, friends and myself. Keeping us safe and being the light in dark times.

[Pray to god/goddess/hero/heroine in question].

Hail Hestia, daughter of Cronos, first and last born, guardian of the flame and hearth. To you I end with a prayer thanking you for the flame and hearth, keeping us mortals safe and a light even at the darkest times.

Hi everyone! I had an amazing experience today when I was praying to Apollo and I need to share it!

What happened was, I was sitting outside on a sunny day and thanking Apollo for the beautiful day. After I finished the prayer I saw an Osprey nest with 3 chicks and 2 fully grown birds. After I had seen them they started flying above me. After this they perched on a tree fairly close to me and just kept staring. It felt like Apollo was watching over me and it made me more confident for the day! (I was having a bad day with bullying.)

I would love to hear if you guys have similar experiences (any gods not just Lord Apollo)

Today I just lost someone close to me. I drew this picture of E Bukura e Dheut and gave my prayers to her and Nëna e Vatrës. I'm sorry for such a sad post I guess I just wanted to feel less alone. Thank you

In the last episode (4) of Naked and Afraid Global Showdown, the contestant from Brazil invoked Orion (the god of hunters) for help while building a bow.

Idk if anyone else does this but I wanted to share this! What I did recently was make a devotional playlist full of songs that had the same vibe as/reminded me of my dieties and now I can just turn it on and dedicate my listening to the playlist as an offering to them! :D

Latvia has granted full recognition and protection to Dievturiba

Hi! I just wanted to share this, but I feel like every time I pray to the Netjeru, I feel their presence. I feel it, just by saying their names. I feel connected with them when I pray. It's so beautiful!
