Ourania the Queen of Heaven, would be our old Pole Star Vega, the Harp Star, known as the She Goat, Goddess Gula.
URA′NIA (Ourania). She was regarded, as her name indicates, as the Muse of Astronomy, and was represented with a celestial globe to which she points with a little staff.
When the people of the ancient Babylonian/Assyrian Empire looked at the constellation with bright shining Vega, they saw the shape of a goat.
In Bulluṭsa-rabi's Hymn to Gula, Nigizibara is one of the deities syncretised with the eponymous medicine goddess.[12] Other goddesses mentioned are Nintinugga, Ninkarrak, Bau, Ungal-Nibru, Ninsun and Ninlil.[12] Wolfgang Heimpel argues that it is impossible that the same goddess as the divine musician is meant in this passage.[13] However, as pointed by Joan Goodnick Westenholz, Ninigizibara was associated both with Inanna (under the name Ninibgal) but also with Gula in Umma, where she took part in a procession of both of these goddesses to Zabalam.[12] She proposed that this might be a sign that an association between her and Gula had a long history.[12] Barbara Böck also considers it likely that there was only one Ninigizibara, associated with both Inanna and Gula.[14] She also points out Ninizigibara is also attested in association with Ninisina, the tutelary goddess of Isin, whose entourage overlaps to a degree with Inanna's.[15] While the healing goddesses of the Mesopotamian pantheon - Ninisina, Gula, Nintinugga and Ninkarrak - were initially separate deities,[16] they were at times either partially conflated or treated as equivalents of each other.[17] Böck also points out a medicinal plant, bu'šānu, was also called "Ninigizibarra's dog."[18] Its association with Gula is well attested,[19] and it could be called "Gula's dog" as well.[20] Its name was homonymous with a word designating a disease,[21] most likely diphtheria.
Neal ain't so smart, Ha Ha Ha, just starting to catch up with what I've been showing him for months.
It is all about the Guest of this world, the Dying and Rising god.
