a-gnosis:Inktober 10: Inanna.My father gave me the heavens and he gave me the earth. I am Inana! Which god compares with me?Enlil gave me the heavensand he gave me the earth.I am Inana! He gave me lordship, and he gave me queenship. He gave me battles and he gave me fighting. He gave me the stormwind and he gave me the dust cloud. He placed the heavens on my head as a crown. He put the earth at my feet as sandals. He wrapped the holy ba garment around my body. He put the holy sceptre in my hand.The gods are small birds, but I am the falcon. The Anuna mill about, but I am the good wild cow, I am the good wild cow of Father Enlil, his good wild cow which walks in front.Sumerian hymn, taken from here. -- source link
