	Ninhursag - www.GatewaysToBabylon.com
		An explanation for the name Ninhursag is given in the myth Lugal-E, or the Exploits of Ninurta, when the young Farmer God turned into Warrior calls the Great Creatrix so for Lady of the Foothills or Lady of the Stony Ground.
		Ninhursag´s most constant and creative partner, or better still, savy contender in myth is Enki/Ea, the God of the Fertilizing Waters of the Deep, Magick and all Crafts.

	Sumerian Myths of Enki
		Unfortunately the relevant passage is almost entirely destroyed, but to judge from what follows, Ninhursag had instructed her to stay in her house and have nothing to do with Enki unless and until he brought her a gift of cucumbers, apples, and grapes.
		It was from this semen of Enki that Ninhursag in some way generated the sprouting of eight plants: the tree-plant, the honey-plant, the roadweed-plant, the apasar-plant, the thorn-plant, the caper-plant, a plant whose name is destroyed, and the amharu-plant But now Enki and his sukkal Isimud appear once again on the scene.

	The Myth of Satan--Jonathon Burket
		A contest soon ensues with Ninhursag issuing a scientific challenge to her brother concerning prowess in the lab.
		Perhaps she felt Enki's praise at the party was louder than their joint effort should allow, or perhaps she felt simply the spirit of contention inspired by the drunken moment.
		Creative license in the Bible thus accounts for a shuffling of the facts: that "Satan" wasn't banished from heaven and earth by the God of the Bible -- angry at his disloyalty, insubordination or betrayal; Enki was sent away for a time by sister Ninhursag -- angry, frustrated and jealous of his superior genetic skill.
