Gateways to Babylon finally in the works!

The Great Prophetess Lishtar gifts us this Introduction to the Sumerian and Babylonian Pagan Religion. We are delighted to see this project finally in the works, and in doing so, paying tribute to one of the most important founders of our own spiritual tradition.

When complete this book will weigh in at an enormous 800 pages in length, G2B is a work of devotion and dedication to the late-Dr. Rosa Lopes, one of the earliest founders of Sumerian Paganism. This book will capture just a snapshot of the essential groundwork she put into place, much of which helped shape the community to what it is today.

Also included will be an in-depth history of her life and times, who she was, what she achieved, and why she is remembered today as a modern Enheduanna by many of her followers.

About the project:

"For thousands of years, the gods and goddesses of Mesopotamia reigned over one of the world’s earliest civilizations. Now, their wisdom and power call to a new generation of seekers.

In Gateways to Babylon, the pioneering scholar and priestess Lishtar—Dr. Roseane R. Velho Lopes—unveils the rich spiritual traditions of Sumer and Babylon, blending historical scholarship with practical devotion. Drawing from ancient texts, hymns, and rituals, this book offers a foundational guide to honouring deities such as Inanna-Ishtar, Enlil, and Enki, reviving their sacred rites for modern practitioners.

Lishtar’s work was instrumental in shaping Mesopotamian Reconstructionist Paganism, inspiring hundreds of thousands of seekers across the world through her extensive writings. This book stands as both an introduction and a tribute to her lifelong dedication—an enduring beacon for those who feel the call of the gods of the ancient Near East.

Step through the gates and rediscover a lost spiritual world, rich with mystery, magic, and divine connection."
