The Way of Inanna

A Heroine's Guide to Living Unapologetically

De: Seana Zelazo LICSW

Narrado por: Melissa Redmond

Over 4,000 years ago in ancient Sumer, some of the first mythographers inscribed the stories and myths of the Goddess Inanna on clay tablets in cuneiform. These incredible findings were unearthed, and the fragments were painstakingly pieced together and translated. Inanna was heralded as a goddess who embodies polarities: impatient and deliberate, an attentive lover and fierce warrior, connected to fertility as well as death-making her an accessible, relatable, and inspiring representation of the Divine Feminine as she stands in her power and multidimensionality. This book is a guide to heart-centered living through the wisdom of the Sumerian Goddess of Love.

Each chapter deconstructs sacred narratives in which the Goddess navigates the seven gates of her soul's journey from awakening to ascension. More than a simple retelling, the book is myth made manifest in which Inanna becomes a means to accessing our own ascension and alchemical magic within our modern, contemporary context.

With a combined psychotherapeutic and spiritual approach, Seana Zelazo offers rituals and practices to help listeners connect directly with Inanna. From harnessing your sensual energy to reclaiming the generative capacity of the Divine Feminine and identifying and amplifying your life's purpose, you will discover the ways Inanna's process is your own.

Solace in Goddess Wisdom: A Much-Needed Guide!

Seana gracefully imparts a well-organized, divine feminine perspective on the embodiment of this living Goddess, accompanied by pragmatic exercises for seamlessly weaving integration into our lives. For many of us, this descent is an authentic journey, and I found solace in the pages of this book, gaining insights into my own descent and subsequent ascent. The guidance offered illuminates the path of surrender, allowing a profound and experiential connection to unfold.

More story, less therapeutic interpretation

I enjoyed this audiobook but it was hard to follow the actual story of Innana. Each chapter had a different section for the story, interpretation and practices. That is a beautiful outline but it made the flow a little choppy. It also incorporated subtle messages from other cultures and even politics that pulled away from the original message of Innana.
