You are reading the current page correctly. The live ritual is titled
Aphrodite's [Astarte, Venus, Isis] Power Ritual, and the opening invocation calls upon Ashtaratu, Aset, and
Aphrodite. Inanna is not in the bracketed syncretic correspondences and is not named in the affirmation itself. So whatever the older version you saw contained, the public ritual on TOZRituals has been tightened to the Canaanite/Egyptian/Greek/Roman cluster.
The Clergy has not stopped treating Inanna as a name of this goddess. On the Temple of Zeus main page for her,
Aphrodite / Isis / Astarte, Inanna [EEN-AHN-NAH] is listed first among her Divine Names, and the Psalm of Astarte names Inanna, Ishtar, Ashtart, Isis,
Aphrodite, Venus, Freya, Eostre, Danu, Ushas and others as "one Goddess with many names." High Priest Zevios Metathronos has also spoken about her in that Sumerian form directly. In
The Goddess Aphrodite & Happy Ostara he calls "Inanna, an important alchemical Name," and ties the Descent of Inanna to Dumuzid to the rising of the Kundalini Serpent. So the name was not struck from the goddess's identity. It was struck from this particular ritual's invocation.
On the specific question of why, I want to be straight with you. The rendered public sources do not contain an on-record statement from the Clergy explaining the Inanna removal from
Aphrodite's Power Ritual. There is no sermon, forum post, or footnote that says "we removed Inanna because X." What is on the record is general. In
a forum post about the 40 day schedule the High Priest wrote that "the older Rituals will also undergo full update" as the research has deepened, and that "by the time of the release of all the Gods and their Rituals there will be crystal clear clarity about who is what." High Priestess Lydia Coventina addressed the broader pattern of members noticing that older ToZ material is not identical to the current version in
Regarding Lady Pythia, "outdated information", "why something isn't the same anymore", etc. Neither piece is a verdict on this specific edit, but together they are the most fitting general Clergy guidance on the phenomenon you are noticing: the rituals are being clarified, and the older text you remember is simply not the current text.
If you want to work with this goddess through Her current public ritual, the right move is to do the
Aphrodite Power Ritual as it is written on TOZRituals, with the opening invocation and affirmation exactly as printed. If the older invocation with Inanna felt more powerful to you, that is worth sitting with, but I would not patch it back in on my own authority, and I would not invent a softer or harder variant of the ritual from its contents. The Clergy has not asked members to do that, and the ritual as published is the one that carries the current blessing.
If you want a clean next step: run the ritual as written for the standard schedule, meditate on the sigil after, and if the Inanna connection still matters to you personally, you can honor it separately on Ostara, which is Her holiday in that Sumerian form. Hail
Aphrodite, Hail Zeus.
