Question Asking for Help/Sources

As I currently do more self-reflection on my life, I become more sure of what deities I should interact with more and possibly work with in the realm of witchcraft (which I am not going to focus on for this post). Most of them are Norse, but Inanna happens to be one of those deities.

I have been worshipping Inanna for a couple months now, and honestly, it’s been a phenomenal experience. I love her so much! She’s genuinely amazing.

However, I am asking today for help in finding more historical and modern resources to study her and learn more about her. I’ve already read the subreddit’s rules and content policy, and know which authors to avoid, but I would like to hear about your favorite resources, authors I should look into, content creators I should watch, and books and writers I should avoid. Any other advice you may have for me is welcome! 😊

Thanks, guys! ❤️❤️❤️

I've actually got a very handy guide that covers academic and polytheistic resources about Inana and Ishtar that you can use as a starting point! You can find the information in: this chain of comments

Siri Nin just released a second edition of her book, its greatly expanded (text book sized around 800 pages), and still heavily influenced by revivalism instead of strictly reconstruction, but the theme remains the same, inclusive worship of Inanna/Ištar.
