Inanna now had two domains--Indus and Uruk. She commuted between the two, sometimes flying her own craft, sometimes piloted by the navigator Nungal. In Uruk, as well as the Indus Valley, tantra flourished in her temples. Inanna had her temple women give men psychedelics5 and guide them through tantric rituals. The women artfully made love with the men they were honoring. The purpose of the sexual congress: expand consciousness and intelligence for all participants and for civilization. Inanna thus led spiritual expansion among the Nibiran settlers (with some elevation in the status of their female Earthling servants). Her tools for raising consciousness were sacred substances, loving sex and, by her personal example, female empowerment. But Inanna "restless and ungratified was; For her beloved Dumuzi she still mourned, her love's desire unquenched remained. When he flew about, in the sunrays Dumuzi's image she saw shimmering and beckoning .... The glories of his domain in the Land of the Two Narrows [Egypt] to her he was promising." In Uruk, "A House for Nighttime Pleasure she established. To this young heroes, on the night of their weddings, with sweet words she lured: Long life, a blissful future to them she promised; that her lover Dumuzi was she imagined. Each one in the morning in her bed was found dead" until Utu, Inanna's father, revived Banda, who returned to Uruk.
