The Legend of Seven Gates tells of Inanna, who descended to the underworld and faced seven gates. At each one she surrendered a symbol of power, crown, ornaments, rings, belt, and robe, until she stood with nothing left to prove.

The descent was not theatre. It was a demand for truth. Whatever could not survive the journey was not meant to lead her next life.

In the darkness, she met limits that status could not buy her out of. The old self could not negotiate. The only way through was to let the stripping continue until identity became simple and exact.

The story turns not on collapse, but on return. She rises changed. Not louder, not harder, but clearer about what she is without the armour.

Seven Gates is that process made gentler. A ritual of releasing one layer at a time, so transformation feels precise, not violent. You let go until you meet the part of you that is still standing, even when everything extra is gone. The Legend of Seven Gates is the reminder that courage and transformation start with clean surrender.
