[CANAAN] Anat and two of her half-sisters, Shapash, the goddess of the sun, and Astarte, goddess of sexual love and fertility. All three have different mothers, and each inherit her beauty, but all possess the yellow-gold eyes and frightening power of their father, Bull El.

In my version El is very much a girldad and spoils his daughters so I wanted to draw the big 3 girls together. Asherah and El next mayhaps. Anat's design is Canaanite-Palestinian, Shapash is northern Palestine and Lebanon + Canaan, Astarte has a lot of Egyptian influence mixed with Canaanite.

Kinda meh Ashtart I worked on and off on during school. For the most part I wasn’t able to reference my design for her but I did get it close. I don’t like how the coloured pencil looks here though. Eh

The book of Jeremiah, written around 628 BC, refers to Asherah when it mentions the "Queen of Heaven" in chapters 7:18 "the children gathered the wood, and the parents kindled the fire, and the women prepared the dough, to make cakes to the Queen of Heaven, and offer libations to other gods, to provoke me to anger" and 44:22 "So that the LORD could no longer bear the evil of your deeds/, the abominations that you committed Therefore your land became a wilderness, a terror and a curse, without inhabitants, as it is today." (could also be about Astarte or Ishtar)

The mother of the 70 or 77 gods (also 80 or more), possibly the Shekinah, creator of the gods and represented royalty

Astarte and Shaushka.

Astarte or Ashtart is an Ugaritic goddess cognate with Ishtar. She was a deity of rulership and justice and a major character in the Baal Cycle.

Shaushka is a Hurrian goddess of love and war equated with Ishtar. She is the sister of the head god Teshub and is sometimes described with both male and female characteristics.

Oh boy this next Servant’s three vibe checks! Unlike the Valkyries they aren’t a hive mind, and unlike the Nobunagas they actually are different enough to need their own vibe checks!

Day 814

Way back in the day, Ishtar launched Venus at Quetz so Quetz could hit it like a baseball with her Macuahuitl.

Now let's recreate that with Ashtart launching something (not sure what yet) at Kuku so she can send it flying!!!!

Baalat/Ba'alat = Goddess of the city of Byblos, Baalat is not a proper name, it is a title just as "Baal", in Egypt, was compared with Hathor, her responsibility was to protect the royal family and the people

I kinda wonder what it would have been like if that HAD happened. I mean, Ashtart is the way she is because she believed she was the evil half of the goddess. So I can't help but wonder what things would have been like if she had slept until her evil half awakened her. Also considering she never knew she was the good half until Ritsuka told her she would probably mostly be a blank slate, having been asleep since Goddess Ishtar was split apart, and they became 2 "human" babies.

Wow, I really like that they give a kind of cinematic view of it all.
