qosAs I've mentioned here previously, I'm not working as closely with Ereshkigal lately as I have been for the past couple of years. As I continue to ascend from the underworld and balance the energies of Above and Below, She has told me explicitly (and demonstrated through some rather direct physical signs) that while we are still connected, and I am still Her priestess, I am to focus on other work for a while.
It wasn't until late yesterday evening, when I was finishing my evening practices, that I realized I hadn't shared with Her about the book being published. I was mortified. I went out and got my proof copy, brought it back to Her altar, and finally thanked Her for the gift of the experience and the achievement. Publishing a book is something I've always wanted to do, but I wasn't able to do it until now. I thanked Her for Her help, and for making sure that I knew I needed to finish this, despite the challenges, and for all the blessings She has brought to my life during the past three years.
And I felt intense gratitude from Her. This is a small book, and it's not the first modern devotional dedicated to Her (Galina Krasskova's anthology, Into the Great Below, dedicated to both Ereshkigal and Inanna, was released a month or so ago), but in Her eyes it's still a significant act of devotion: bringing Her name and new perspectives about Her into modern consciousness. It means a lot to Her -- and I felt awed and humbled and thrilled last night to feel Her pleasure and gratitude.
