One of the most important skills we can develop is the art of going down; of slipping into the darkness or feeling our way into the underworld. It’s a life-changing psychological/spiritual journey that we all make at least once, and it’s part of the annual round of existence.
We need good stories to help and guide us, and the Sumerian myth of the descent of the goddess Inanna is one of the best.
In part 1 (this program) I introduce you to the goddess Inanna and provide some of her back story.
