The Book of Esther shows us a Jewish queen in exile, and the story resonates with the echoes of the priestess/goddess roles. In the ancient Persian religion, Spring was a time to draw lots to determine the king's new advisors. Ishtar (goddess of love and war), and Marduk (god of war and justice), would have been prominent characters in the new year ritual drama. The Book of Esther transforms the tradition into a saga of Jewish survival, appropriating the role of the preserver of life (Ishtar) for Esther and the position of the protector of the people (Marduk) for Mordechai. The Book of Esther allows Jews to be part of the larger culture's mythic tale of Spring and to remain true to their Jewish identity at the same time.

Esther's story is a twist on the descent of the goddess Ishtar into the underworld. In Babylonian myth, the goddess Ishtar strips herself of her clothing and royal garb to enter the underworld. Ishtar's sister, Ereshkigal queen of the underworld, afflicts Ishtar with disease and death. After the other gods plead with Ereshkigal to let Ishtar go, Ishtar's royal robes are returned to her.

Esther, a young Jewish girl, finds herself in a Persian harem. Esther must strip herself of her identity and pretend she is not a Jew, just as Ishtar must strip herself of goddesshood in the underworld. Later, under the influence of the evil vizier Haman, the king makes the decree that all Jews be assassinated. Esther's uncle Mordechai begs Esther to go to the king, even though it is forbidden, risking her life to save her people. Before doing so, Esther fasts for three days. Her three days of fasting may be an allegory for Ishtar's trials in the underworld.

On the third day, Esther garbed herself in royalty, and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, and the king sat on his royal throne in the palace opposite the doorway. When the king saw Esther standing in the courtyard, she found favor in his eyes, and the king extended to her the golden scepter in his hand, and Esther drew near and touched the scepter's head.

-Esther 5:1-2

One cannot miss the strong parallel between Esther's robing herself in royalty and Ishtar's queenly robing as she leaves the underworld. When Esther enters the king's throne room and touches the tip of his royal scepter, she is enacting the sacred marriage between Ishtar and the king. Although in a Jewish story this image is probably meant to be ironic, it can also be seen as Esther's acting as a priestess, channeling the power of the divine feminine in the human realm.

Pg 136-137, The Hebrew Priestess

truly the only time i miss twitter is on oscars night. I have THOUGHTS about these red carpet looks (and I can't be arsed to find and reblog pictures with commentary lmao)

On my ExU Prime rewatch and I had this thought, what if a person from Niirdal-Poc got shunted away across Exandria, and we know most if not all of the people there have no contact with the outside world.

How would they cope? How would they return home when all they knew was the city without an external sense of localization? What if they only speak the local language!?

EGYPT FROM ABOVE (2020) — (1.01) Egypt's Ancient Empire

[lightdancer1]

The Pharaohs would be genuinely stumped that one group of Canaanite barbarians overshadowed their grandeur so much:

The other fortress, of course, is not known so much for being proof of how Egyptian imperialism in Nubia worked, as one might expect....but for one small section of shrines and papyrus writings reflecting a garrison in this particular fortress of Israelites. To the Pharaohs Elephantine Island was a garrison to ward the Nile from hostile invaders in the south, and like the Chinese they believed very firmly in 'hiring the barbarian to beat the barbarian' where it could be done.

This is another factor that shaped how wars worked and were fought in this time, that armies were not 'national' as we'd think of them and the multi'national' armies that last well into the 1600s or later are very ancient and very much a common practice everywhere.

Ultimate Buyer’s Guide for NRIs: Top Plot Developers in Chennai for Your Investment

Chennai’s real estate market is booming, offering NRIs a unique chance to invest in property that blends financial growth with a deep connection to India. Whether it's the city's expanding infrastructure, proximity to thriving IT hubs, or its rich cultural roots, there's no shortage of reasons to explore plots for sale in Chennai.

But we get it—navigating the process as an NRI can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry! This guide breaks it all down, making it easier for you to find the right plot developers in Chennai and make your investment with confidence.

1. Understand Your Eligibility

Non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) are legally allowed to purchase residential or commercial property in India under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). However, purchasing agricultural land, plantation properties, or farmhouses requires prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Keep essential documents like your OCI card, passport, and proof of income handy to ensure a smooth process.

2. Collaborate with Trusted Plot Developers in Chennai

Collaborating with reputable real estate developers in Chennai is critical. Opt for developers associated with the Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) or those compliant with the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act (RERA). These affiliations ensure that projects meet legal and ethical benchmarks, reducing risks related to delays or fraud.

3. Verify the Property Documents

Ensure thorough verification of the following key documents:

Title Deed: Confirms the seller's ownership of the land.

Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Certifies that the property is free from legal liabilities.

Land-Use Approvals: Ensures the plot aligns with Chennai’s zoning regulations.

Tax Receipts: Confirms property taxes are up to date.

4. Secure Your Finances

All property transactions must comply with FEMA guidelines. NRIs should use Non-Resident External (NRE), Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO), or Foreign Currency Non-Resident (FCNR) bank accounts for payments. If you need financial assistance, many banks offer home loans tailored for NRIs, making property purchases more accessible.

5. Tax Compliance and Repatriation

NRIs are subject to tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on property purchases. If you plan to sell or repatriate funds later, follow RBI guidelines and consult a tax advisor to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

6. Conduct Site Visits or Appoint Representatives

If visiting Chennai isn’t feasible, appoint a trusted power of attorney (POA) to represent your interests. A POA can handle property inspections and legalities, ensuring a hassle-free experience.

Thinking about how all it took for me to start a romance at the DND table was one character to say that my character looked nice upon being introduced, and both players just committed to it.
