(Revised)  In humanity’s far distant past people curiously observed the world around them and learned to live in rhythm with it. The universe, including the heavens, land, rivers,rocks, plants, trees, and animals; all of nature was alive and imbued with spirit. They observed the cycles of the moon and developed rituals as participants in its mysteries. They created stories explaining the cyclical changes of the moon, and its connection to the seasons.

New Moon Symbolism
 Inanna is known as Queen of Heaven and earth, yet for a brief period of time she descends into the darkness of the netherworld. As we continue our research into the meaning or symbolism of Inanna's mythic descent into the underworld we must be reminded that one of Inanna's names is Daughter of the Moon.

 Inanna’s descent myth can be interpreted as part of the funeral rites. According to Adele Fiske: “When there is a death, the whole group concerned is in a 'religious state,' made 'sacred' by contagion with the dead.” Death is a mysterious and frightening part of life; it is from trying to understand death that myth and ritual are created.
