Yahweh vs. Baal
Baal worship was prolific throughout much of the ancient Middle East. In the land of Canaan, the worship of Baal was found among the Moabites and their allies Midinites during Moses's time and was also introduced to the Israelites. The Phoenicians became the greatest seafaring culture of the time, thereby spreading the cult of Baal throughout the Mediterranean.

The Baal cult venerated Israel, and at times led to a syncretism -- a combination of different forms of belief or practice. The cult of Baal was initially widely accepted by the ancient Jews. Baal was once worshipped by the royalty of the ten Biblical tribes of Israel and by all who depended upon the sun god for the prosperity of their crops and livestock. Within the religion there appeared to be numerous priests and various classes of devotees. Ceremonies of tribute often included the burning of incense, burnt sacrificial offerings, and human sacrifice.

The practices of holy prostitution and child sacrifice were especially abhorrent to the Hebrew prophets, who denounced the cult and its temples as described in the Bible. This abhorrence probably explains the substitution of Ish-bosheth for Esh-baal, of Jerubbesheth for Jerubbaal (a name of Gideon), and of Mephibosheth for Merib-baal with the substituted term probably meaning "shame". Although heavy-handed censorship was enforced, Baal worship was never permanently stamped out.

There is some uncertainty as to the derivation of the name "Beelzebub". Note that Beelzebub is the patron god of the Philistines in ancient Palestine and is also identified with the god of Ekron, Baal-Zebub.

Some believe that the term is a deliberate mocking perversion by the Jewish religious leaders of the Canaanite Baal-Zebul ("Prince Baal"), one of the standard titles of the god Baal. In the Bible (which was derived from the Jewish Torah -- writings that were obviously aligned with Jewish interests), Beelzebub is debased as the prince of evil spirits. He is also called "Lord of the Flies", derived from the Hebrew "Baal-Zevuv".

Since Judaism became the basis for monotheistic worship in much of the world, "Beelzebub" is now synonymous with evil. In early English literature, Beelzebub becomes Satan's chief lieutenant in Milton's Paradise Lost.

Demythologizing Baal: Making Yahweh Real(как моимей придумывал яхве дабы обосрать ваала)


Astarte and Yahweh
James Still
Long before the Yahweh cult emerged among the Hebrews in the Ancient Near East the Goddess Astarte was worshipped by them. Her oldest temple at Byblos dates back to the Neolithic and she flourished in the Bronze Age where she was also known as Demeter in Greece and Ishtar in Babylonia. King Solomon worshipped Astarte when the Israelites had not yet fully committed to a monotheism with Yahweh cult (1 Kings 11:5). During the Bronze Age some Israelites perceived her as the female consort to Yahweh. Her symbol was the dove and coinage portrayed Astarte as the heavenly dove of Wisdom (Walker, 1983, p. 253-54). At the height of her powers there were many gods and goddesses one of which was Yahweh; the Psalmist refers to a "Divine Council" of these gods which Yahweh addresses:

God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: "How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah. Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I say, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince" (Psalms 82:1-7).

Yahweh is upset with his fellow gods and accuses them of not looking after the needs of the weak and destitute. If they do not help, Yahweh predicts that they will be overthrown--a prediction which unfolds within the Hebrew Scriptures as the gods (to include Astarte) are eventually cast off for a monotheism under Yahweh.

Astarte will return during Hellenistic Judaism in the apocalyptic and wisdom literature. Wisdom (Sophia) becomes personified in 3d-century BCE Judaism as a strong female principle of Yahweh. We learn from Proverbs that she calls to "the sons of men" crying aloud at the portals of towns ( Prov. 8:1-4). She signals her approval of the Christ by appearing to Jesus as an epiphany in dove form at Jesus's baptism ( Mk. 1:9-11; Mt. 3:13-17; Lk. 3:21-22). But with the destruction of Jerusalem (and so the normative Judaism of the Second Temple Period) this feminine principle of Yahweh will disappear forever from Judaism. Martin argues that Astarte's decline resulted from a radical shift toward masculinity in religion:

The movement from an early Hellenistic sovereignty of the feminine to a late Hellenistic masculine structure was not limited to the challenge of rabbinic Judaism to the influence of the cosmic goddess of the Mysteries but was representative of a structural shift throughout the Hellenistic world. Masculine patterns of redemption came to be the common reality underlying and allowing for the religious patterns of late antiquity (1987, p. 111).

Despite her disappearance from Judaism, Astarte will still live through the mystery religions of the Hellenistic period. The Egyptians and Syrians reenacted the ancient sacred drama of the rebirth of the sun through the virgin Astarte on December 25--at the winter solstice when the sun is at the lowest point in the sky and so requires a "rebirth" to begin its northward journey again. This drama will find its way into the early Christian mystery as the Virgin Mary. The newborn savior-god Jesus who is born on the winter solstice will behave similarly to Astarte's newborn and become a sacrifice for the benefit and immortality of the Goddess's followers. Christian iconography will preserve her in her dove form with "seven rays emanating from the dove of the Holy Ghost: an image that went back to some of the most primitive manifestations of the Goddess (Walker, 1983, p. 253).

ASTARTE

Astarte, the ancient Phoenician great Goddess of fertility, motherhood, and war, is the counterpart of the Babylonian Goddess Ishtar, and is one of the oldest Middle Eastern aspects of the great Goddess, dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Tammuz also is identified as her son/consort as he is with Ishtar.

According to legend Astarte descended to earth as a fiery star, landing near Byblos in a lake at Alphaca, the site where the original Tammuz is said to have died.

The Phoenicians portrayed Astarte with cow horns, representing fertility. The Assyrians and Babylonians pictured her caressing a child. She was associated with the moon and called the Mother of the Universe, giver of all live on Earth.

She ruled all spirits of the dead residing in heaven, visible from earth as stars; hence came her name Astroarche, "Queen of the Stars". She was called the mother of souls in heaven, the Moon surrounded by her star-children, to whom she gave their "astral" (starry) bodies. Occultists still refer to the astral body as the invisible double, without remembering the term's original connotation of starlight.

Her other counterparts are Isis, Hathor of Egypt, Kali of India, and Aphrodite and Demeter of Greece. However, the Mother Goddess in the Ras Shamra texts appears as Anat, Athirat, and Athtart, or Astrate.

Anat, the consort and sister of Baal, the most active Canaanite god, was called the "lady of the mountain," and it was through he flattery of El that Baal was allowed to build a house on Saphon, a mountain situated in "the sides of the north". In spite of her maiden and mother titles Anat was an aggressive Goddess who slew Baal enemies, waded in the blood of her human victims, and desired to possess Aqhat's bow. She was pictured with helmet, battle-axe, and spear. In Egypt, where the Hyksos invaders introduced her, the cow horns of Hathor became part of her iconography.

Athirat, "the lady of the sea," appears to be the consort of El, the equivalent of the Hebrew god Yahweh. Her role was restricted to fertility. Astarte, "the queen of heaven," was almost as fierce as Anat but less remote than Athirat. The Hebrews knew her as the Goddess of the Sidonians, whom they worshiped. This angered Yahweh who complained to the prophet Jeremiah.

At Mizpah temples of Yahweh and Astarte were erected side by side, while in Upper Egypt the Hebrews considered the Goddess the divine consort still in the 5th Century BC. The same as in the temples of Ishtar and Inanna, the sacred marriage and temple prostitution were prominent features of the cult, of which Yahweh also complained.

Astarte was a beautiful Goddess as well as a dangerous one; although the horns of the bull that she wore represented fertility, they could appear fearsome. In her fearful aspect she was the "mistress of horses and chariots," which might have been an Arabian variant of the god Athtar, known as the terrible god who unsuccessfully tried to oust Baal.

Astarte's name was first recorded about 1478 BC, but her cult was firmly established by then. The cult spread westward from Phoenicia into Greece, Rome, and as far as the British Isles. Prophets of the Old Testament condemned her worship because it included sexual rituals, and sacrifices of first-born children and newborn animals to her.

Some scholars hold Astarte was a prototype of the Virgin Mary. Their theory is based on the ancient Syrian and Egyptian rituals of celebrating Astarte's rebirth of the solar god on December 25th. A cry was heard that the Virgin had brought forth a newborn child, which was exhibited.

Sir James Frazer in the Golden Bough writes, "No doubt the Virgin who thus conceived and bore a son on the 25th of December was the great Oriental Goddess whom the Semites called the Heavenly Virgin or simply the Heavenly Goddess, in Semetic lands she was a form of Astarte". The theory that credits Astarte as being a prototype of the Virgin Mary made be given creditability by many who accept that Christ was born on December 25th; but not by those who do not believe this was the date of Christ's birth, and say the exact date is unknown.

Anat, also ‘Anat (in ASCII spelling `Anat and often simplified to Anat), Hebrew or Phoenician ענת (‘Anāt), Ugaritic ‘nt, Greek Αναθ (Englished as Anath), in Egyptian rendered as Antit, Anit, Anti, or Anant, is a major northwest Semitic goddess.
1 ‘Anat in Ugarit
In the Ugaritic Baal/ Hadad cycle ‘Anat is a violent war-goddess and the sister of the great Baal known as Hadad. Ba‘al is usually called the son of Dagon but ‘Anat is addressed by El as "daughter". Either one relationship or the other is probably figurative.

‘Anat's titles used again and again are "virgin ‘Anat" and "sister-in-law of the peoples" (or "progenitress of the peoples" or "sister-in-law, widow of the Li’mites").

In a fragmentary passage ‘Anat appears as a wild and furious warrior in a battle, wading knee-deep in blood, striking off heads, cutting off hands, binding the heads to her torso and the hands in her sash, driving out the old men and townsfolk with her arrows, her heart filled with joy.

’Anat boasts that she has put an end to Yamm the darling of El, to the seven-headed serpent, to Arsh the darling of the gods, to Atik 'Quarrelsome' the calf of El, to Ishat 'Fire' the bitch of the gods, and to Zabib 'flame?' the daughter of El. Later, when Ba‘al is believed to be dead, she seeks after Ba‘al "like a cow for its calf" and finds his body (or supposed body) and buries it with great sacrifices and weeping. ‘Anat then finds Mot, Ba‘al/Hadad's supposed slayer and she siezes Mot, splits him with a sword, winnows him with a sieve, burns him with fire, grinds him with millstones and scatters the remnants to the birds.

Text CTA 10 tells how ‘Anat seeks after Ba‘al who is out hunting, finds him, and is told she will bear a steer to him. Following the birth she brings the new to Ba‘al on Mount Zephon. But nowhere in these texts is ‘Anat explicitly Ba‘al/Hadad's consort. To judge from later traditions Athtart (who also appears in these texts) is more likely to be Ba‘al/Hadad's consort. But of course northwest Semitic culture permitted more than one wife and liasons outside marriage are normal for deities in all pantheons.

In the story of Aqhat, the protoganist Aqhat son of Daniel is given a wonderful bow and arrows by the craftsman god Kothar-wa-Khasis. The goddess ‘Anat tries to buy the bow from Aqhat, offering even immortality, but Aqhat refuses all offers, calling her a liar since old age and death are the lot of all men. ‘Anat complains to El and threatens El himself if he does not allow her to take vengeance on Aqhat. El concedes. ‘Anat launches her attendant Yatpan in hawk form against Aqhat to slay him. The plan succeeds, but somehow (text is missing here) the bow and arrows fall into the sea and all is lost. ‘Anat mourns. She then drops out of the story which is unfortunately incomplete.

Gibson (1978) thinks Rahmay 'Merciful', co-wife of El with Athirat, is also the goddess ‘Anat.

She was especially worshipped in her aspect of a war goddess, often paired with the goddess Ashtart.

He protected desert caravans but also caused sandstorms. He was one of the Ennead and a son of Nuit and either Seb or Re. He wa, who had been identified with the Semitic god Hadad.

During the HyksosThe Hyksos were an ethnically mixed group of Western Asiatic people who appeared in the eastern Nile Delta during the Second Intermediate Period, and formed the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties (ca. 1674-1548 B. See Egyptian chronology). They overthrew t period ‘Anat had temples in the Hyksos capital of Tanis (Egypt) and in Beth-Shan (Palestine) as well as being worshipped in MemphisMemphis was the ancient capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt from its foundation until around 1300 BC. The ruins are 19 km (12 mi. south of Cairo on the West Bank of the Nile. The city was founded around 3100 BC by Menes of Tanis, who united the two kingdo. On inscriptions from Memphis of 15th to 12th centuries BCE, ‘Anat is called "Bin-Ptah", Daughter of Ptah. She is associated with Reshpu in some texts and sometimes identified with the native Egyptian goddess Neith. She is sometimes called "Queen of Heaven". Her iconography varies, but she is usually shown carrying one or more weapons.

In the New Kingdom Ramesses II made ‘Anat his personal guardian in battle and enlarged ‘Anat's temple in Tanis. Ramesses named his daughter (whom he later married) Bint-Anat 'Daughter of ‘Anat'. His dog appears in a carving in Beit el Wali temple with the name "Anat-in-vigor" and one of his horses was named ‘Ana-herte '‘Anat-is-satisfied'.

) In his monograph "Asherah and the Cult of Yahweh in Israel," (1988, The Society of Biblical Literature, Scholars Press) page 71, footnotes 4, 5, scholar Saul M. Olyan lists the evidence that Eve and Asherah are the same. After describing the Qudsu art, he comments, "This evidence is decisive. We know from Ugarit that Qudsu is an epithet of Canaanite Asherah." Ugarit was a major Canaanite city on the coast of northern Syria, destroyed in the 12th-century B.C.E. Olyan also describes the links between Asherah and snakes on pages 70-71.

POETRY

This week’s HOLLOW REED is all poetry, because the prose just ain’t coming right now, and there’s no point in forcing it. I’d hate to foist crappy prose on the public. The first piece, The Song of Anath, I wrote a few months ago in trance when I was big into ancient Mesopotamian/Semitic mythology.

Wikipedia.com desribes Anath (known more commonly as Anat), as follows:

“In the Ugaritic Ba‘al/Hadad cycle Anat is a violent war-goddess and the sister of the great Ba‘al known as Hadad. In a fragmentary passage, Anat appears as a wild and furious warrior in a battle, wading knee-deep in blood, striking off heads, cutting off hands, binding the heads to her torso and the hands in her sash, driving out the old men and townsfolk with her arrows, her heart filled with joy. Anat boasts that she has put an end to Yamm the darling of El, to the seven-headed serpent, to Arsh the darling of the gods, to Atik 'Quarrelsome' the calf of El, to Ishat 'Fire' the bitch of the gods, and to Zabib 'flame?' the daughter of El. Later, when Ba‘al is believed to be dead, she seeks after Ba‘al ‘like a cow for its calf’ and finds his body (or supposed body) and buries it with great sacrifices and weeping. Anat then finds Mot, Ba‘al/Hadad's supposed slayer and she siezes Mot, splits him with a sword, winnows him with a sieve, burns him with fire, grinds him with millstones and scatters the remnants to the birds.” Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anat

Basically, she’s a bad-ass war goddess in the same vein as Kali, Athena, Inanna, Ishtar, and even Artemis and Diana. Her story is analgous to the Isis/Osiris/Seth myth of death and ressurection, symbolically evoking the turning of the seasons as well as those of the grain harvest. As in the Osiris myth, Ba’al is eventually reborn, as the sun returns in Spring after lying dormant in Winter. From the description above, you can probably tell that Anath is no one to mess with, but I felt that there was another side to her as well – a softer, loving side that isn’t usually expressed. So, I wrote her a song so she could tell her tale. I think it’s kind of pretty. When I read through it the first time, it gave me hope.

The second piece, The Nightmother, came through in trance a few weeks ago, and I thought the symbology was cool, so I put it in. I’m sure it’s talking about a mythic woman too, but I haven’t figured out who yet, so for now she’s a mystery.

I’m going to a weekly schedule from here on out, so look for new HOLLOW REED issues on Thursdays. They’ll be shorter, but more frequent. Trade-offs, you know. So, until next time, darlings – have a magical week. There are solar and lunar eclipses coming up soon, so hang onto your hats. This should be an interesting month.



THE SONG OF ANATH

Late upon a starlit shore
A beacon of deep light before
The maddening faces of the night
The breaking darkness of the light
Was shattered by a nameless cry
A vision of a heart’s delight
With darkness worn like summer’s veil
A brazen hope for careless tales.

He came to me, that summer night
He came to me and turned to fight
the demons of my careless ways
the striking of the darkest plays
He came to me one autumn morn
and told me of the joys of form
and stole me from my mother’s breast
until the time of timeless rest.

I went with him most gladly fair,
I went with him, without a care,
and yet I did so miss the land
of mother’s rope and maiden’s hand
that I did choose to walk between
to be a bridge and mend the seams
between the lands of life and form
between the death and birth of scorn.

And so the maids, they come to me,
to search beyond that timeless sea,
to choose one who will seek to be
that form of life and liberty.
They come to me and I so choose
a light for them to raise and groom
to walk within this form-filled space
to search for love and light and grace.

And when this form is almost done,
they come to me and ask again
if I can ease his passing’s night,
to make his deathsong clear and bright,
and then again I walk with those
whose light has fallen in rough throes
to guide them back to mother’s earth
to bring them to their rightful birth.

For death and birth are but a dream
wherein the waking sometimes seem
to float upon a beam of light
to meet their heart’s self-same delight.
And on this journey I do smile
and greet them with a tender vial
of liquid amber so to drink
to leave behind all that they think.

They do forget, these walking souls,
the troubles and the earthly woes,
and then to the great golden hall
they climb to pay their earthly toll.
A golden stair, an endless hall
within which sits my brother Baal,
and to his right the sweet Ma’at,
whose emerald scales weigh all with thought.

And I stand to his left, you see
a partner in his misery,
a friend when he despairs the most
a formless face, a passing ghost.
For I am with him always there,
in that great room atop the stair,
even when I am with my love,
whose lifeblood strays from crow to dove.

And in the end I will be there,
next to the throne on golden stair,
whispering words into his ear
which only he will seek to hear.
Words of comfort, words of love,
words softer than the cooing dove,
and his cold heart will turn to steel,
then melt upon the turning wheel.

And he will suffer truth no more,
while both of us walk out the door
and down the stair and through the field
where all great knowledge is revealed.
And there my love will sit and wait
and greet us with a warm embrace.
For he is master of us all,
Myself, my heart, my brother Baal.

We love him as we love ourselves,
we love him as all fealty shows,
we love him as the sun and moon
and as the raven and the crow.
And there we’ll sit inside the field
inside the world, inside the wheel
and be as if we always were
The three united – the one, the world.


THE NIGHTMOTHER

The boon of days
to walk among the marionettes
and dance the dance of dreams
while the setting sun beams bright and red
over the dying land.

There is a dying mother,
a burning ember of grace among the reedlands,
a desperate last cry for deliverance
but who knows if it will be answered.
None among us can say.

Gracefully she walks among the dying ones
and worships their luminescence;
taking from them what she can
giving up what she must,
for she is the nightmother of all.

Burden of days gone by
she sits at the table of life.
Breaking the demon’s bread across his plate,
she muses on the impermanence of all,
wanting to freeze time in amber and study it like an insect.

But there is nothing she can do,
no one she can turn to in her hour of solitude.
For no one but she holds up
the deathly images of evanescent life.

-“One lip to the earth, one lip to the heavens; he will stretch his tongue to the stars, Baal must enter inside him; he must go down into his mouth, like an olive cake, the earth’s produce, the fruit of the trees.” Baal the Conqueror became afraid; the Rider on the Clouds was terrified: “Leave me; speak to Ers son Death, repeat to Ers Darling, the Hero:’Message of Baal the Conqueror, the word of the Conqueror of Warriors: Hail, Ers son Death! I am your servant, I am yours forever.’

In the seasonal Canaanite rite of the dying god, "a substitute is sought for Ba'al in his eclipse, and Athtar the Fierce, originally the god manifest in the bright Venus star and secondarily associated with vegetation, is proposed since his brightness might be thought to quality him for the place of Ba'al, whose potent advent is signalized in lightning. But the attempt is abortive:"
- John Gray, Near Eastern Mythology

"Thereupon Athtar the Fierce
Goes up to the crags of Saphon;
He takes is seat on the throne of Ba'al the Mighty.
His feet do not reach the footstool,
His head does not reach the top thereof.
Then Athtar the Fierce declares, '
I may not be king on the crags of Saphon'.
Athtar the Fierce comes down,
Down from the throne of Ba'al the Mighty,
And he becomes King over the whole vast underground."
