Paganistan: Notes from the Secret Commonwealth
In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
Questions, Some Theological
I heard that a certain priestess in California was now regularly “channeling” Inanna.
(Oh, how—in a pagan context—that la-la New Age term sets my teeth on edge.)
“Oh, good,” I replied. “I've got some questions about Sumerian grammar that I'd love to ask her.”
My skepticism—call it snarkiness, if you like—did not sit well with my friend.
“Would we expect Inanna to be able to speak Sumerian?” she asked.
Well. Would we expect the real Inanna to be able speak Sumerian?
I ask you: would we?
And what are we make of an Inanna who can't?
