Curious About Sumerian Deities?

[creativemind243]

Hello there! I'm wondering if anyone has any sort of experience working with Sumerian Deities? What are they like? Where can I find more information about them?

Thanks to all of you in advance!

Hi. Most of my experiences is with Ishtar/Inanna where she evolved into Aphrodite, and much later Isis. They have been fairly good and mostly dealing with love and fate. Ishtar is a complex goddess even in just Sumerian and Babylonian contexts.

I had little experiences with the others, mostly Enlil and they have been positve. I have worked with Lilitu-Lilith extensively, I guess that's a given by my name. I wouldn't even mind working with Lamashtu, though not benevolent.

I also run a Mesopotamian focused blog here: http://ishtargates.tumblr.com/

Thanks for the info! But I do have to ask; you say that you've had positive experiences with those Deities that you've worked with, well, has anyone had bad experiences with them? Sorry if this sounds rude or anything! I'm just a bit curious!
