Assyro-Babylonian Ishtar. Inasmuch as there were immoral ceremonies connected
+
with this worship, it aroused Jeremiah’s hot indignation, particularly since it
+
appears to have been a prominent part of the idolatry then practiced. The
+
Assyro-Babylonian Ishtar, the mother goddess, was the equivalent of the
+
divinity known to the Hebrews as Ashtoreth and to the Canaanites as Astarte,
+
whose figurines are found in Palestine. This goddess of fertility, of
+
maternity, of sexual love, and of war was worshiped in rites of a grossly
+
immoral and debasing character. She was essentially the same goddess though
+
worshipped under many names and in many aspects, such as the earth-mother, the
+
virgin-mother, and is identified in a general sense with Atargatis, the “Great
+
Mother” of Asia Minor, Artemis (Diana) of Ephesus, Venus, and others.

+
Roman Catholics today call Mary the Queen of Heaven, but
+
this has nothing to do with the queen of heaven in Jeremiah’s time.
