Her Own For Her Own?

Neophyte Posts: 65 Age: N/A Gender: Female Reputation: none	I have often wondered about this passage describing INANNA: She is similarly the Goddess of Love, and bestows a favourable bride upon any man who desires it, and who makes the proper sacrifice. BUT KNOW THAT INANNA TAKES HER OWN FOR HER OWN, AND THAT ONCE CHOSEN BY HER NO MAN MAY TAKE ANOTHER BRIDE. I take this to refer to a number of priests who are perhaps "married" to the priestesshood; that is, unmarried priests whose intimate relations are onlly with priestesses. Am I close to the mark?
