Symbol of protection, fertility

Inanna was an ancient Mesopotamian goddess. She was associated with beauty, love, desire, and fertility. Innana’s cuneiform ideogram was a hook-shaped knot of reeds. The knot represents the doorpost of a storehouse, which is a symbol of fertility.

Inanna represents the power of creation and divine feminism. The knot is an agricultural symbol for her. It represents the reed boat Inanna built to save humankind after Eniki caused a great flood to try to wipe out humanity. Reeds are a symbol of provision, life, and structure. Reeds were a highly coveted crop and were used daily in Mesopotamian life.
