The Ishtar Gate (restored), Babylon, Iraq. 575 CE. 

  • Nebudchadnezzar II is the patron of restorying Babylon to glory. The book of Daniel speaks of him as an evil king. 
  • Has molded reliefs of animals, both real and imaginary: bulls, dragons, sacred lions. 
  • Depicted animals because they wanted to model themselves after their attributes. A powerful man wants to relate himself to a lion (power) or a bull (brute force, fertility).

Hi there, this is Lilith and I wanted to say something… We got a message and I cannot recall

Hi there, this is Lilith and I wanted to say something… We got a message and I cannot recall if I answered it or not. I cannot find it anymore. The message asked how old we are…. It’s been awhile so I had to see our archive posts.

I got busy and was not able to answer properly, then I forgot.

Coincidentally, as I looked, we were founded on February 5th, 2015. We’re five years old now! Happy Belated to us!


Anyway, hope you have it good out there! Thanks for your support over the years! - L.
