Four Goddesses

With whom Coven Rochester recently had occasion to work.

NINLIL: The great queen of heaven of ancient Sumer.

INANNA: Goddess of the people and holy priestess of Sumer. We are very fortunate that stories of her in all three phases---Maiden, Mother, and Crone---have survived in mythology.

NANSHE: A goddess of the seas, marshes, and dreams. Protectress of the downtrodden. Also from Sumer.

KSHUMAI: The Mountain Mother of the ancient Nuristani people.

All goddesses, of course, are the One Goddess. Just as the Fire takes on the aroma of whatever spice is thrown into it.

*** Blessed be to those who serve the Great Mother and the Horned Father.
