No wonder why I didn't connect to the book at all.
I was angry to find that the bibliography included Zechariah Sitchin and some Wicca sources. I ended up skimming the rest of the book. I never learned anything worthwhile from that section. There was a section where the author shoe-horned Ishtar and Ereshkigal into the Celtic pagan wheel of the year. The author disappoints me again with a long speil about how the 2 goddesses relates to the author's family life and pagan life. The author sort of redeems the book with a chapter on how many other ancient cultures knew these same 2 goddesses with different names but same aspects.
It was just a whole chapter retelling it. The author veers off into a direction toward the 7 seals of the Book of Revelations in the New Testament of the Bible. Soon after was where my disappointment started. At first I thought the significance of the number 7 and the 7 original celestial bodies/planets that the ancients worked with was fascinating. The author appeared to have a good grasp of ancient history. This was, by far, the worst of the Pagan Portals books I have read.
