Ishtar the Rebel | Robert Wilson

The book explores the aspect of female sexuality in ancient occult and mythological traditions.

Author: Robert Wilson

"Ishtar the Risen" takes you on a journey through esotericism, explaining why Eve from the Bible and Eris from Greek myths are both associated with the apples of vice? Why is the attitude towards women's breasts associated with war and peace? Why did the Great Goddess of the Ancients go to hell and why do most of us sometimes find ourselves in hell in a dream? Why do pacifist women who bare their breasts in front of the Pentagon unconsciously repeat an ancient ritual? Why did those who took a vow of celibacy burn so many "witches"... and much, much more!

From the book:

"There is no painting, poem, song or expression where the female breast is not glorified or revered. Its shape is hidden, but undoubtedly manifested in architecture and pottery, in terms of cathedrals and temples, in mystical symbols like the Chinese yin Yang and the European Pink Cross. If there is beauty, meaning and solace in this universe — as art and worship always suggest — then a huge part of them is based on these strangely intrusive outlines".
