How can one explain away how planefags have been treated in all this. I've learned a lot from them about a great many things and now when I go to ADSB I generally know when something is amiss or when something needs examined in further detail.
I don't get the hostility toward them. It's downright mental.
It's not like 3416 was shrouded in a veil of mystery (thank you for the direction).
That's worrisome.
Ninhursag
Also known as Ninmah, she was given the title Ninhursag - "Lady of the Hursag (The stoney foothills)" by her son Ninurta in the myth Lugal-e. She was an ancient Sumerian form of the mother-goddess, known as 'mother of the gods,' and 'mother of all children.' It was Ninhursag who was said to have been midwife to Nammu at the creation of man. She represents the innert procreative power of the mother which, though powerful, requires the union of the male force to be brought to its full potential (see the myth "Enki and Ninmah"). This was not to diminish her role, but simply a recognition that neither the female nor the male alone was a fully procreative force. Her major cult center was probably at Kesh.
