From the cycle Hieros Gamos - Holy Marriage Topic: Ancient Mesopotamia; Sumer, Akkad. Ishtar is not only a goddess of fertility, but also love and war, that is, she controls life and death. This "mystery" becomes the principle of a unified interpretation of the world, of life and of human existence, extending beyond the plant drama, as it also controls the cosmic rhythms, human destiny, and relationships of man with gods (ME Eliade - History of Religious Thinking I. p.74). On the New Year's Day, a mythical-ritual scenario took place, including, among other things, the hieros gamos (the sacred marriage) of the king - representing the god Dumuzi - with the priestess incarnating the goddess Innan / Ishtar. as a mediator between the world of men and the world of the gods, the Mesopotamian king, in his own person, carried out a ritual connection between the divine and the human way of existence (ME Eliade I. p. 80 - 83). Believes that in the Moment of Orgas During the Sexual Act, It Can Be Connected to the CE THE BALANCE OF UNIVERSA AND DRAWING OF IT ENERGY.
