Spinoza, Sin & Everything

If God encompasses everything then why is there a battle between the concepts of good and evil?
...Perhaps the duality poles within the holistic whole are better labelled 'health' and 'ill-health'?

Goddess Ishtar

The Goddess Ishtar is the personification of the words of The Great Goddess, "All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals." She is the Goddess of love, sexuality, war, creation, guardianship, healing, abundance, fertility and justice. Her name means “Star of Heaven”. She is the Queen of Heaven, the morning star, the evening star, the shining star of Venus. She is also the Queen of Earth, the fertility and the abundance of life.

Like Persephone, Ishtar descended into the Underworld giving up Her worldly possessions and magickal powers. Ishtar’s beloved husband Tammuz died when they were both very young. After a time Ishtar fell love with the great king Gilgamesh, who rejected Her. Ishtar decided to descend to the Underworld to be with Tammuz, so dressed in Her finest garments, jewellery and crown, Ishtar entered the cave that leads into the Underworld. The Underworld was surrounded by seven walls, each with its own gate that had to be passed to get to the dark place where the dead resided. At each gate Ishtar was required to give up one of Her possessions.

Ishtar was worshiped primarily as the goddess of both love and war, and she was associated with aspects of these areas such as sex, fertility, and political power. However, Ishtar’s sphere of influence also extended well beyond her primary roles. She was worshiped as the goddess of thunderstorms as well as the goddess of food preservation and storehouses such as granaries. Along with her brother, Ishtar was also revered as an arbiter of justice in Mesopotamian society. The main symbols associated with Ishtar were the lion and the eight-pointed or sixteen-pointed star. The goddess was also associated with the planet Venus and, because Venus can be seen in the morning and near the evening, she was sometimes referred to as the goddess of the morning and the evening star.
