Author Description

Before the myths of Greece or the laws of Rome, women stood at the heart of the world's first temples. They served as priestesses, poets, healers, and sacred performers in the great cities of Sumer, Akkad, and Babylon. Their names echo still-Inanna, Gula, Ereshkigal, Nisaba-and through them, the sacred feminine found voice, fire, and form. Daughters of the Mountains is both a devotional and historical guide to the goddesses and spiritual women of ancient Mesopotamia. It blends mythic insight with grounded scholarship, offering readers a window into the mysteries of the world's oldest spiritual traditions-and an invitation to revive them. Inside this beautifully crafted volume, you'll find: Profiles of goddesses including Inanna, Ninhursag, Gula, Ereshkigal, and more An in-depth exploration of Enheduanna, the world's first known author and priestess Ritual and devotional practices drawn from historical sources and adapted for today Erotic, ecstatic, and lamentation rites honoring feminine emotion and power Timelines, glossaries, prayers, and altars for sacred feminine devotion A poetic journey of spiritual inheritance and divine remembrance Whether you walk with the goddesses as a scholar, mystic, witch, or seeker, this book is a torch for the modern path-lighting the way back to the temples of old and the spirit of the daughters who still speak through dust, star, and flame.
