Hymn

Lord and Chief of the Gods, O Sin!

Great one who holds the keys to the door of knowledge.

O Sin, who is unique and who is brightest in the night

Who bears the burden of office once held by Kingu

Brilliant is thy torch, like the fire god

The brightness which fills the earth and offers up the Goddess Nana,

Hail to the Nannar, lord of increase!

I seek thee Sin who faced the Seven Sebitti in glorious array

And exists still held as a light-bearing torch in the night

O in, glorious one of Ikur, I beseech thee to bring forth the oracle of the Gods!

The end of the Month is the day of thy oracle, the decision of the great gods through which I shall understand!

I pour now the libation of the night,

I shall not bow down yet ascend in the face of thy knowledge!

Thou Strong Bull with terrible horns, with a flowing beard of the color of lapislazuli, full of vigor and life!

Founder of shrines, Father Nannar, who is illuminated before all!

Bring to me the hidden know ledge, if the Sebitti are with me so it shall be!

Other known aspects: Nanna, some associate him with Gabriel

Often used form Usually i meet female form with black crown and black eyes. She can also have form of dragon or form of succubus, same as scary demonic form.

Physical appearance: Her humanoid form have short white hair and white eyes. Often he takes form of silver orb.

Personal notes: I find Sin being both friendly and distant. He's more focusing on actually teaching than being sociable, but his energy isn't hostile. He's trying to help you with anything and teach you what you might need to know. He enjoys showing up during the nighttime in form of the silver orb. He isn't much caring about offerings but I noticed he likes to be included in moon-related rituals, especially during the full moon. He's a rather calm and patient being, who would help when asked for help. Sometimes he appears around people who might need his help and waits for them to notice him. He isn't pushy, but he might flood you with the knowledge or expect you to learn specific things.

From the myths we know that he deals with Sebitti, which are lesser demons.

They are usually associated with human needs and desires, and by the myths, during an eclipse, they eat the moon, so it can be reborn again.

Because of that he's dealing with self-transformation and removing the negative energy around you. Some people associate him with Gabriel and as much as their energy is similar, Gabriel is more water being while Sin has more air element.
