-'''[[Satan]]''', also known as [[The Devil]] is an entity in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s that seduces humans into sin or falsehood. In [[Judaism]], Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the'' yetzer hara'', or "evil inclination." In [[Christianity]] and [[Islam]], he is usually seen as a fallen angel that has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of [[demon]]s.
+'''[[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."
-In the [[hierarchy of Hell]], Satan is the demon prince of the Deluders, the 5th degree of diabolical spirits. In this context, he is connected [[astrology|astrologically]] with the planet [[Mars]]. The original Hebrew term ''śāṭān'' (Hebrew: שָׂטָן‎) is a generic noun meaning "accuser" or "adversary", which is used throughout the [[Bible]] to refer to ordinary human adversaries, as well as a specific supernatural entity. The word is derived from a verb meaning primarily "to obstruct, oppose".
+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.
