the babylonians weren't the only culture to have zonah, there are so many goddesses and even gods out there that represent and admire those qualities to their worshippers. I personally favored macha, she had more...aggression to her nature, a neat history of making men pay and demanding the heads of the slain enemy in battle to honor her.

it's even rumored that the gnostics had their sexual rites and prostitutes that would go and bring others in; but considering how much they disliked being fleshy humans, i don't know how much validation that would have.

you think holy whores are out there; look at sex magic, that stuff gets really weird, as does some satanism...thinking about it, a lot of that magickal stuff was weird; now that i'm reflecting upon it.
