“A demoness Is what men call A goddess they cannot control. There is no shame In goddesses falling Into the Abyss Where they find new purpose As darkness. Praise the women who fly And fail to succumb to Night; Death sustains Inanna, Who is one and whole, Who sacrifices her life into the below To save her life in the Above Who is the sacrificed and the sacrificer, The demoness and the goddess Rule the heavens And the Cruel Kingdom As two, but One. As the enduring Above, So shall the Great Below.”

“When they approach with lapis lazuli, accept their offer of clarity. When they approach with the blue turban of the open country, accept their offering of courage. When they approach with the twin-egg beads, accept their offering of abundance. When they approach with the lapis brooch, accept their offering of life. When they approach with the jeweled measuring rod, accept their offer of beginnings and endings. When they approach with the sapphire ring, accept their offering of rulership. When they approach with the glittering eyes, accept their offer of a mother’s love. For every gift, a terror. For every radiance, a sacrifice.”
