NINHURSAG (nin-HUR-sag)

Lady of the Sacred Mountain · Mother of All Life · She Who Shapes with Her Hands Sumerian: "Nin" (lady) + "Hur" (foothills/sacred ground) + "Sag" (head/crown)

She is the oldest mother. She who made the gods from clay and divine breath. She who healed Enki's eight wounded body parts by creating eight healing deities — one for each wound — when he ate the forbidden plants of the paradise garden Dilmun.

She is not gentle in the way we mean when we say "mother goddess." She is powerful in the way the earth is powerful — silent, vast, inevitable, and occasionally devastating. She does not negotiate. She creates.

Her domain in the deck: Creation from raw materials. The body as sacred. Healing. The mother force that does not protect from life but prepares you for it.
