Ningirima

Ningirima

Ningirima was a Mesopotamian goddess associated with incantations and ritual purification, as well as snakes and fish. She was a major member of the Mesopotamian pantheon in the Early Dynastic period. Her importance declined in the second millennium BCE, but in some locations, such as Ur, she was still worshiped after the Achaemenid conquest of Mesopotamia in the first millennium BCE. According to the god list An = Anum and other sources, she was regarded as a sister of Enlil. While suggestions that she was conflated with the mongoose deity Ninkilim can be found in modern literature, this theory finds no direct support in primary sources.
