	Ereshkigal - LoveToKnow 1911
		ERESHKIGAL, also known as Allatu, the name of the chief Babylonian goddess of the nether-world where the dead are gathered.
		Ereshkigal is therefore the sister of Ishtar and from one point of view her counterpart, the symbol of nature during the non-productive season of the year.
		The addition of Nergal represents the harmonizing tendency to unite with Ereshkigal as the queen of the nether-world the god who, in his character as god of war and of pestilence, conveys the living to Irkalla and thus becomes the one who presides over the dead.

	Nergal & Ereshkigal - www.GatewaysToBabylon.com
		Ereshkigal rules the Underworld, the Land of the Dead and of Ancestral Memory, whereas Nergal is the God of War and Pestilences.
		Ereshkigal, on the other hand, is one of the oldest goddesses of Mesopotamia, and according to the Creation myth, Eridu model, She is the daughter of Anu, the Skyfather, and Nammu, the Primeval Mother and Waters of the Sea.
		Thus, it is Ereshkigal who is always in charge as the mighty goddess and Nergal who surrenders to her, but it must be understood that there is in fact no surrender in sacred lovemaking, but a blending of selves, or the victory of mind, heart, body and soul in connection.
