Hail Inanna, Queen of Heaven
She Who Makes the Fields Red!
Lady of Dawn, Lady of Dusk
hear your children as we cry out in fear!
Lend us your protection as the world turns on us
lend us your guidance as we find ourselves lost!
Lady of Life, Lady of Death
answer your children as darkness descends!
Lend us your wisdom as we face ignorance
lend us your love as we do battle with hate!
Lady of War, Lady of Slaughter
stand with your children as we cry out in pain!
Lend us your fierceness as battle approaches
lend us your fury as we fight for our lives!
Hail Inanna, Queen of Heaven
She Who Makes the Fields Red!
Hail Inanna, Triumphant in Battle
She Who Descended and Arose Again!
[ I will not sorrow today. Today I will rage. Today I will embrace wrath. Today I will dream of vengeance and make blood promises. They will not take this world without a fight. ]
Only Fragments 
We have different responses. After a night of little sleep and a partial day of crying, I will be praying to Nephthys, Lady of Change, today. Hopefully She can help me navigate all the conflicting emotions and figure out how to respond best to the new situation.
I’m praying to Bast as well, to help me be a force of good and love and light, but there’s a big part of me that wants to just pour all my anger into Inanna.
