Temple of Ishtar

The Temple of Ishtar is a group dedicated to education, raising awareness and supporting the healing our society of over 5,000 years of negative sex and body messages.


"In Her Temples in many lands from Egypt to Assyria to Babylon to Crete to India, in Rome and Greece and many Celtic lands, Her Temples had Sacred Priestesses who were also called Prostitutes by those of body denial religions. Her worship was in the arms of the Priestess who embodied and represented The Goddess(s). These worshipers are sometimes known as pagans."

The site contains many links to further resources about the goddess Ishtar and sacred sexuality, as well as information about priest/esses and Temples devoted to Ishtar. They have held temples at the Burning Man festival
