Goddess Inspiration and Affirmations

Inanna – Goddess of Civilization (Sumerian)

Message as channeled by Tora Moon 10/14/10

Greetings Dear Ones!  Come and listen to the message I have for you this day:

It was I, so long ago, that brought to humans the 100 gifts of civilization.  I brought order and law to communities; agriculture and art.  But my greatest gift, Dear Ones, was of writing.

My Temple Priestesses were so busy and conscientious in their care of the people, they needed a way to do this with ease.  I gave to them the gift of writing so they could keep track of the goods coming into the Temple and those going out and to whom.  My gift was both writing it down and accounting.  The gift to account and be responsible for the resources entrusted to them by the people of Enoch and Sumner.

It didn’t take my Priestesses and Priests long to take the gift of writing to its higher form of poems and praise of me.  Writing has function; to keep track of and record that which has occurred, to document agreements, and to transfer knowledge.  But in its highest form, writing is art.  It is an expression of the Soul’s delight and praise of the Divine which surrounds all.

Writing can be an act of prayer – a way to connect to the Divine within you and the Divine around you.  Writing songs, poems, stories, spells, chants, and journaling are all acts of prayer.  They are all acts of expression of the Divine within you.  It is an act of prayer to write them, and it is an act of prayer to read them or share them.  That is the gift of writing – thoughts and words can be shared with many.  They have been preserved and no longer are ephemeral and fleeting.

The prayers, hymns, and stories spoken of me by my Beloved People still stand and can be enjoyed by you, thousands of years later, because they were written.

My gift of writing was my greatest gift of civilization to you.  Dear Ones, it is available to all of  you; both in its functional aspect and as art.  All who wish to express themselves can do so with writing.  It is a cultural judgment of whether it is “good” or not.  Your expression of the world around you, the world within you, the glory and beauty you see, the pain or joy you experience is the important aspect of writing.  When it is an act of prayer, or an act of self-expression, or self-knowledge the words you write is what is essential.  No one else need read it if you so choose, so allow yourself to write.

Dear Ones, pick up a pen and paper and call on me and allow your thoughts to flow onto the paper.  It is my precious gift to you to see the thoughts you think; to learn about yourself from what ends up on the page.  Appreciate the gift and express your Self.  Appreciate the gift as you read the written words of others.  The gift of writing is so prominent in your world it is taken for granted.  But your world would not be as it is without this precious gift.  Take a moment to be in gratitude for the gift of writing.

Blessings to you, Dear Ones.  There is great love here for you.

Notes:  The oldest known written records date to around 3,200 BCE in Sumner.  These were from the Temples of Inanna keeping track of the goods coming in and going out of the Temple and the land agreements negotiated by the Temple.  The writing, known as cuneiforms, was pressed into wet clay which when dry made a lasting record, even into modern times.  The earliest hymns, ritual texts, epic poetry, and law codes written fragments found date to around 2,000 BCE.  Writing was a sacred act and wasn’t used for everyday communication as it is now.
