The Secrets and Mysteries of Ereshkigal

She is the ruler of the land of no return
She is the keeper of the gates of dust
She is the judge of the souls that burn
She is the Ereshkigal of the just

She is the sister of the radiant Inanna
She is the rival of the queen of heaven
She is the captor of the proud Dumuzi
She is the Ereshkigal of the seven

She is the goddess of the hidden secrets
She is the revealer of the inner truth
She is the initiator of the sacred rites
She is the Ereshkigal of the youth

She is the queen of the night and the demons
She is the mourner who weeps and laments
She is the lover who heals and forgives
She is the Ereshkigal who transcends
