Exploring Tiamat: Myths, Chaos, and Motherhood


Red Dragon time portal governs the Middle East and China.

Lucifer was an angel of light at the start and then fell from his pedestal. But I wonder if he had a mother when he was in a body before he ascended in power? The dragon image is mythological, but ancient texts like the Babylonian Enuma Elish are not. I will examine it here.

We can not be ethnocentric and think that just because we live in 2025 A.D. we are more advanced or have a corner on the truth. There are many people living today that say that absolutely everything we’ve been taught about history and the universe are a lie. I don’t know. I don’t take anything on earth terribly seriously and never have, even as a child. It’s an illusion here. Maya means illusion.

Babylonian Mythology

Tiamat’s role in Babylonian mythology is well-documented and central to the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation epic (circa 15th century BCE). Here’s a detailed look.

Tiamat’s Identity:


Tiamat is a primordial goddess personifying the saltwater sea and chaos. She is depicted as a mother figure who, with her consort Apsu (freshwater), gives birth to the first gods. Her name derives from the Akkadian tâmtu (“sea”). Initially nurturing, Tiamat becomes vengeful after Apsu’s death, creating monstrous beings to wage war against the younger gods.

Enuma Elish

She sounds like a sea monster here that could have eventually turned into the mythological creature the mermaid.-L.T.

It also sounds like a creation story as humans evolved out of the sea. We see the issue of freshwater and saltwater, too.)

Dragon-Like Imagery: While early texts describe Tiamat with anthropomorphic and theriomorphic features (e.g., a tail, breasts, or serpentine qualities), later interpretations, especially in Hellenistic and modern contexts, portray her as a dragon or sea serpent. For example, a relief from the Temple of Bêl in Palmyra (Hellenistic period) shows Tiamat with a woman’s body and snake-like legs, defeated by Marduk and Nabu.

Chaoskampf Motif: Tiamat’s defeat by Marduk, who splits her body to create the heavens and earth, is a classic example of the Chaoskampf (struggle against chaos), a mythological motif where a hero-god defeats a chaotic monster (e.g., Zeus vs. Typhon, Thor vs. Jörmungandr). This narrative symbolizes the triumph of order over chaos.

Cultural Significance: Tiamat’s dual role as creator and destroyer reflects Mesopotamian views of the sea as both life-giving and destructive. Her story influenced later myths, potentially including biblical imagery of chaos (e.g., tehom or “the deep” in Genesis 1:2, possibly etymologically linked to Tiamat). Tiamat’s dragon-like depiction and chaotic nature make her a potent symbol in modern culture, appearing as a multi-headed dragon in games like Dungeons & Dragons and Final Fantasy.

Esoteric/Occult Interpretations Linking Tiamat to Satan or a Mother Figure.

Modern esoteric and occult interpretations often draw speculative parallels between Tiamat, Satan, and a “mother figure,” especially in New Age, chaos magic, or fringe spiritual communities. Here’s how these connections might emerge:Mq

Tiamat and Satan: While traditional Christian and Babylonian texts do not equate Tiamat with Satan, some esoteric thinkers draw parallels due to shared themes of chaos and rebellion:


Chaos and Rebellion: Tiamat’s role as a chaotic force opposing the ordered cosmos (led by Marduk) mirrors Satan’s depiction as a rebellious adversary to God in Christian theology. Revelation 12:9, which calls Satan a “great dragon,” further invites comparison with Tiamat’s draconian imagery.

Occult Symbolism: In chaos magic or neo-pagan circles, Tiamat is sometimes invoked as a symbol of primal chaos or feminine power, (Jaguar goddess Ixchel the White Wizard tribe or LYSINE!) akin to how some view Satan as a liberator from divine order. For example, a Reddit post on r/chaosmagick describes Tiamat as “the sea personified” and a dragon of chaos, reflecting her appeal in occult practices.

Feminist Interpretations: Some modern scholars and occultists, influenced by feminist readings, view Tiamat as a symbol of suppressed feminine power, akin to how Satan is sometimes reinterpreted as a figure of resistance against patriarchal authority. Robert Graves and others have speculated that Tiamat’s defeat reflects a shift from matriarchal to patriarchal societies, though this theory is debated. (If God is always seen as a male, but that is not the case. GOD IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE!) People wave that away because God is anthropomorphic as God the Father, but God is also the Mother, Son, and Daughter.)

Mother Figure Speculation: The idea of Tiamat as a “mother” to Satan or a similar figure is not found in canonical texts but appears in speculative or fictional works:

Tiamat as Mother Goddess:

In the Enuma Elish, Tiamat is the mother of the first gods and monstrous beings, earning titles like “Ummu-Hubur” (Mother of Creation). Some esoteric sources, like The Demonic Paradise Wiki, call her the “Mother of Dragons,” suggesting she birthed powerful chaotic entities. This motherly role could be extended in occult narratives to link her to Satan, imagined as a rebellious “child” of a chaotic mother.

Wow.

Satan’s Origins: In Christian tradition, Satan (or Lucifer) is a fallen angel created by God, not born of a mother. However, speculative works might imagine a cosmic mother figure like Tiamat as a metaphorical or literal progenitor. For instance, The Demonic Paradise Wiki compares Tiamat to Gaia (Greek mother goddess) and suggests her power rivals that of Lucifer/Satan during apocalyptic events, hinting at a conceptual overlap.

New Age and Anunnaki Theories: Authors like Zechariah Sitchin and others in the ancient astronaut community propose that Tiamat was a planet destroyed in a cosmic war, with surviving deities (e.g., Anunnaki) linked to figures like Satan in modern conspiracies. These narratives sometimes cast Tiamat as a nurturing yet destructive mother whose legacy influences rebellious figures. Such ideas are not rooted in Babylonian or Mayan texts but blend myths for speculative purposes.

Conclusion

Idk. I need to keep pondering this in light of what’s happening in the Red Dragon Time portal with IRAN.
