-'''[[Ishtar]]''' is the ancient goddess of love, war, and fertility worshipped in the Akkadian Empire, by the Babylonians, and Assyrians. She was originally worshipped in Sumer as Inanna. She is also associated with beauty, sex, divine law, and political power. Her primary title was "the Queen of Heaven."
+'''[[Metatron]]''' is an [[angel]] in [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]] mentioned three times in the Talmud, in a few brief passages in the Aggadah, and in mystical [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] texts within Rabbinic literature. The figure forms one of the traces for the presence of dualist proclivities in the otherwise monotheistic visions of both the Tanakh and later Christian doctrine. In the Jewish kabbalistic tradition, he is sometimes portrayed as serving as the celestial scribe. The name Metatron is not mentioned in the Torah or the [[Bible]] and how the name originated is a matter of debate. In Islamic tradition, he is also known as ''Mīṭaṭrūn'', the angel of the veil.
-Inanna was associated with the planet [[Venus]], which is named after her Roman equivalent Venus. In Inanna's Descent to the Underworld, unlike any other deity, Inanna is able to descend into the netherworld and return to the heavens. Because the movements of Venus appear to be discontinuous (it disappears due to its proximity to the [[Sun]], for many days at a time, and then reappears on the other horizon), some cultures did not recognize Venus as a single entity; instead, they assumed it to be two separate stars on each horizon.
+In Jewish apocrypha and early Kabbalah, 'Metatron' is the name that Enoch received after his transformation into an angel.
