Just to make things clear because I’m getting a lot of confusion about this:

I am a theistic Luciferian, I worship, work with, and follow the God Eosphorus and Hesperus as the personas of Venus as (s)he appears as the morning and evening star. Lucifer is the Roman name of this deity, while Eosphorus and Hesperus are the Greek name(s) of this deity. He is the God of enlightenment, vision, introspection, and knowledge, promising the light of a new day and guiding his followers through the darkness of night. This archetype encompasses him as a metaphor for the astrological aspects of the heavens, more so then his persona as a “character” or person”. This Phosphorus doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the rebellious Lucifer of Christianity.

However, when I refer to Lucifer as the angel (or God) Helel, I am referencing his title as the angel of rebellion who rose to the heavens of El Elyon out of pride, only to fall and rise again. (This is of a polytheistic mythology of near eastern civilizations like the Canaanites, similar to that of Christianity but distinctly different in a few ways.) Helel is the Ugaritic name of this deity, very likely derived from Attar.

(In myth, Attar (Ashtar, Athtart) appears in both male and female forms, associated with the planet Venus. He attempted to occupy the throne of Ba'al and, finding he was unable to do so, descended and ruled the underworld. The original myth may have been about a lesser god, Helel, trying to dethrone the Canaanite high god El, who was believed to live on a mountain to the north. This all ties back to Inanna.)

I take a syncretic approach to these two archetypes and combine them together to represent both the Venus of the skies (literally the planet and it’s movements) as well as the persona of Venus and the rebellion.

I am not a satanist, I don’t have any relationships with or recognize a satan in my practice. My practice is entirely removed from the Christian cannon. I have nothing against satanists and I am friends with a few of them, I’m just not one.

When I refer to Lucifer, I am not referring to Satan. That doesn’t mean that Satan and Lucifer aren’t the same in certain contexts, they just aren’t in the context of my practice.

My Lucifer is Venus, not Satan. If you ever see me tag my posts with satanism or satan it’s just because i think Satanists would enjoy it, not because I am one. Glad we got that cleared up 👍

Why are lots of Middle Eastern goddesses associated with lions or big cats

…are there actually all that many of them? A quick survey might indicate that this isn’t really true. More under the cut.

Looking at the evidence from Mesopotamia, lions are actually a relatively uncommon divine attribute compared to bulls or snakes, despite the undeniable fascination with them. As far as goddesses go, lions occur the most frequently in association with Inanna, as a symbolic representation of her warlike side. She is actually the only deity with lion-themed epithets (Julia M. Asher-Greve, Joan G. Westenholz, Goddesses in Context: On Divine Powers, Roles, Relationships and Gender in Mesopotamian Textual and Visual Sources, p. 204). The name of the c-lister goddess Šilabat, “she is a lioness”, is identical with an ordinary given name implicitly referring to Inanna, and she appears in Inanna’s court in every god list she is attested in (Manfred Krebernik, Šilaba(t) in RlA vol. 12, p. 483) so it’s pretty clearly not an independent phenomenon. There’s a handful of other deities with lion-themed names but due to scarcity of references it’s hard to tell what they reflect or even what their gender was so I will leave them out. Nanaya’s association with lions is attested exclusively outside of Mesopotamia, and even then is something largely unique to her (Michael Shenkar, Intangible Spirits and Graven Images, p. 174). Furthermore, it’s presumed to be the result of adoption of a standard Neo-Assyrian style of depictions of Ishtar (Tanabe Katsumi, Nana on Lion: East and West in Sogdian Art, p. 318-319). Going back to Mesopotamia, the only other large cat with a substantial number of attestations, the leopard, cannot be considered a separate case. When leopards occur in association with a deity, it’s invariably Inanna (ex. the epithet “the leopard of the hills” in Inninšagura/Inanna C; reference to a chariot pulled by them in broken context; etc.). Ultimately it boils down to the Sumerian name of this animal being written with the signs PIRIG.TUR, which indicates in the light of the rudimentary animal taxonomy Mesopotamian scholarship recognized it was, quite literally, a “small lion” (Wolfgang Heimpel, Leopard A. Philologisch in RlA vol 6, p. 600-601). Discarding cases vague to the point of meaninglessness - thrones with vaguely paw-like legs and so on, which are a generic status symbol attested for both gods and goddesses  (Goddesses…, p. 190-191) -  the only goddess I can think of who was probably depicted in the company of lions without being Inanna-adjacent was Ninura, the tutelary goddess of Umma. However, since her husband Shara was seemingly depicted with lions too, and on top of that those animals appear frequently on the seals of local officials, scribes and so on, it seems that they were a symbol of the city of Umma, and secondarily of its tutelary deities (Goddesses…, p. 202-203).

In the west, in Ebla in the third millennium BCE, we evidently have a number of cases (around half a dozen) where the name Labutu - “lioness” - is used to refer to Ashtar (ie. the Eblaite counterpart of Inanna, not the male god from Ugarit with a cognate name), much like in Mesopotamia (Alfonso Archi, Išḫara and Aštar at Ebla: Some Definitions, p. 16-17). On the mediterranean coast the earliest evidence for an association between any big cat and a local goddess is the Ugaritic composition KTU 1.180, sometimes called a “hymn to Ashtart”, which directly compares the eponymous goddess to a lioness (labˀi) and a panther (namiru) while praising her fearsome warlike nature (Aren M. Wilson-Wright, Athtart. The Transmission and Transformation of a Goddess in the Late Bronze Age, p. 130). Supplementary evidence for this includes theophoric names from Ugarit and the Amarna letters; all around we’re probably dealing with a parallel of the phenomenon attested in Mesopotamia and Ebla earlier on, given the well attested commonality between the warlike forms of Inanna, and the strictly warlike Ugaritic Ashtart (Mark S. Smith, ‛Athtart in Late Bronze Age Syrian Texts, p. 72-74). The warlike side of her is notably not attested in Phoenicia (Athtart…,  p. 11), and, to be entirely fair, I don’t think lions come up in association with her over there. The claim that Ugaritic Athirat (let alone biblical asherah) had anything to do with lions are  the result of haphazard amalgamation of disjointed pieces of information (Steve A. Wiggins, A Reassessment of Asherah With Further Considerations of the Goddess, p. 109) and find no support in primary sources (A Reassessment…, p. 132). It depends entirely on the assertion that Qudshu - who is now agreed to be, essentially, an Egyptian idea about what a “northern” deity would be like rather than a “genuine” import like Anat or Resheph - ought to be Athirat since she occurs on a now lost stela of dubious provenance with Anat and Ashtart and clearly those are the only relevant goddesses (an utterly unhinged idea). It is true that Qudshu on her own was depicted on a lion in Egyptian art, but she has nothing to do with Athirat in the first place (A Reassessment…, p. 226). Moving even further west, every single deity associated with lions in Hittite/Hattian/Luwian sources listed by Ahmet Ünal (Löwe A. II. Bei den Hethitern in RlA vol. 7, p. 85) is male. Pinikir, who is at least sometimes a goddess, might have some uncertain connection to lions going by the Hurrian version of the Weidner god list from Emar, but caution is necessary; and this would still be an example broadly speaking from the Inanna-adjacent category (Timothy Daniel Leonard, Ištar in Ḫatti: The Disambiguation of Šavoška and Associated Deities in Hittite Scribal Practice, p. 229-236). The association between Kubaba and lions in first millennium BCE Luwian art from Syria is uncommon and likely reflects a connection with royal power, rather than any specific characteristic of this goddess, who actually had nothing to do with wild animals to any meaningful degree (Rostislav Oreshko, In Search of the Holy Cube Roots: Kubaba—Kubeleya—Κύβεβος—Kufaws and the Problem of Ethnocultural Contact in Early Iron Age Anatolia, p. 143). All around, there really isn’t all that much evidence for association between goddesses and lions save for the Inanna industrial complex, some of its subsidiaries, and its western counterpart - and in these cases it is invariably tied to warlike nature.

Canaanite Polytheist Questions

Does anyone here have experiences, UPG, with Athtartu? I’m maybe sensing a call to deepen my relationship with Her, but also a bit frustrated since there seems to be so little scholarship on Her. At least, little that I’m currently financially able to access atm.

Tess Dawson’s interpretation of Her actions in the Canaanite stories we have making Her a goddess involved with peace tracks with my experiences so far. From my own reading, so far, I see Her association with protection of the king, Her association with treaties and curses, and the fact She made sure Yamm’s messengers were treated fairly speaks to Her as being involved with justice (and fairness).

I guess I’m just a little hungry for all the information? If you don’t mind sharing, what is She like? To you?

Thank you in advance.

Astarte, also spelled Athtart or Ashtart, great goddess of the ancient Middle East and chief deity of Tyre, Sidon, and Elat, important Mediterranean seaports. ... Astarte was worshiped in Egypt and Ugarit and among the Hittites, as well as in Canaan. Her Akkadian counterpart was Ishtar. Astarte by Timi Hayek

[noctilionoidea]

Lookie, Aphrodite Kypris based on Cypriot art and pretty colours. It’s not exactly accurate but I went through the metropolitan’s entire digital collection of ancient Cypriot art to get an idea. Originally I gave her a veil but it didn’t work with the Stephane.

It’s really interesting that Aphrodite is considered to have been from Cyprus (except for the version where she’s born at the bank of the Euphrates in an egg by Pseudo Hyginus in Fabulae, which might be more so about Athtart in Greek perception) and was deeply tied to the island in Greek tradition and yet her worship isn’t evident there until later on in Ancient Greek history. It’s very clear, especially by the use of Astarte by Herodotus, that the “Aphrodite” they’re referring to is Ashtart. That’s why I referenced a statuette type associated with Ashtart for the pose.

Cypriot art is severely underrated! It’s so interesting to see the influence from Greece as well as Egypt. You have worship of Apollo as well as Bes and the aforementioned Ashtart, as well as local deities, and that’s evident in the artwork! And the temple boy and temple girl statues are incredibly unique. And the way hair is depicted on otherwise very Greek looking statues is amazing, a collection of beautiful spirals! When I went to the met in person I couldn’t get to see it all since I had to meet up with the rest of my party and leave soon, but it was stunning and left a real mark more so than all others in the ancient near East exhibit. Maybe because it was somewhat of a shock? No matter what it was beautiful and I’ve been planning this for awhile as a tribute to seeing that.

One of the Ugaritic snake-bite incantations lists the following divinities with their mountains or cult-sites: El on mount ks, Baal on sfipn (1.100.9), Anat and Athtart on ’inbb (1.100.20); and Dagan at ttl (Tuttul, 1.100.15), Resheph at bbt (1.100.31), Athtart at mr (Mari, 1.100.78) and perhaps Mlk at ‘ttrt (Ashtarot, 1.100.41), Yarih at lrgt (1.100.26), and ZfiZfi and KMT at hfiryth (1.100.36). The Ugaritic texts recogniz a distinction between home and foreign divinities and home and foreign cult-sites. Although Kothar wa-Hasis’s activities of weapon making (1.2 IV) and palace building (1.4 V–VII) clearly take place in the center, he has no mountain as his abode. Instead, he is said to dwell in Memphis and Caphtor (1.100.46), perhaps a reflection of the center of foreign culture and system of trade that brought artisans at Ugarit the materials necessary for their craft.

True names

Damocles will often claim she has no name due to her complex felling about herself and her existence.

This is mostly true since her name as Theo has been erased from her existence. Names hold a significant amount of power over someone and more so if it's their true name.

She goes by Damocles because that's what she's called upon awakening.

"Shes a Damocles if I've ever seen one"

She was referred to as Damocles due to her being fortunate enough to get chance at a second life but will know always having to watch in fear and anxiety against dangers that might try to overtake her.

Her true name was given to her once she accepts who she is.

She is named Asta after Astarte (also Athtart or Ashtar ) a Goddess of war, hunting, love and Astaroth (also Ashtaroth, Astarot and Asteroth), in demonology, is one of the Great Dukes of Hell.

If she gives you her name once she knows it then knows it then it its quiet possible she trusts you with her life.

[yamayuandadu]

I don't know how well versed in Canaanite or Phoenician stuff, but if so, what's the deal with Tanit? Did she originate in Ashtart, or was a separate goddess? I keep finding a lot of conflicting information on her, and the fact that she's associated with supposed child-sacrifice means a lot of the stuff I find on her has an air of sensationalism

I won’t claim it’s a major interest (recall that the only strictly Canaanite deity whose wiki page I wrote is Baalat Gebal) but I think I can help. However, bear in mind there might be significant gaps in my knowledge esp. regarding the various colonies across the Ibernian peninsula, Sardinia etc.

Saying anything firm about Tanit is not exactly easy since virtually all attestations of her are brief dedicatory inscriptions, theophoric names, toponyms (ex. Aqtanit, Aitanit, Kfar Tanit) and symbolic representations. No hymns, no myths, no theological speculation, not even much in the way of sources hinting at how her cult was organized. Such a body of evidence doesn’t let one do much beyond concluding she certainly was an actively worshiped deity.

There are multiple proposals regarding her name but as far as I am aware most if not all come from authors whose methods leave a lot to be desired, so I’ll leave that out. It’s really not possible to say much beyond the fact she was clearly regarded as the tutelary goddess of Carthage. There is also evidence for some degree of worship in Sidon from the sixth century BCE onward, Kition from the fifth (references to a group of devotees, theophoric names) and in the Mount Lebanon range (a single Carthaginian inscription mentions “Tanit in Lebanon”; see Spencer L. Allen, The Splintered Divine, p. 243-244 and 302). The only connection between Tanit and another deity we can be sure about is that with Baal Hammon, presumably her spouse. It’s best reflected in her epithet “Face of Baal”, found almost exclusively in sources from Carthage, the main exception being two attestations from Constantine in Algeria. What exactly this title entails is difficult to tell, though (The Splintered Divine, p. 242-243). An interesting Neo-Punic inscription pairs Tanit with Kronos, which would indicate the author was familiar with the interpretatio graeca of Baal Hammon, which goes back at least to Sophocles’ times (The Splintered Divine, p. 57).

Out of necessity the rest of the response will largely focus on explaining who Tanit certainly wasn’t. 

For starters, she definitely was not Ashtart in any shape or form. Aren M. Wilson-Wright in Athtart. The Transmission and Transformation of a Goddess in the Late Bronze Age (the book isn’t open access, but you can find the dissertation it was based on here) points out that authors seeking to prove they’re related treat data from different locations and time periods as fully interchangeable, without taking into account deities change across time (p. 7). 

Ultimately the only real argument comes from a text discovered during the excavations in Sarepta dated to the sixth century BCE. It contains the compound name “Tanit-Astarte” (The Splintered Divine, p. 241). The problem is that the two were clearly viewed as distinct in Carthage, as evidenced by roughly contemporary sources. (The Splintered Divine, p. 244). 

Allen notes we might be dealing with a situation like Tanit being worshiped alongside Astarte and the double name designating her as an “associate” of sorts, or that similarly as in the case of Neo-Assyrian compound theonyms the double name indicates a form of Tanit with Astarte’s attributes, like how “Ashur-Enlil” was a designation of Ashur as the king of the gods and not an indication he was merged with Enlil (The Splintered Divine, p. 241).

Even with Ashtart out of the picture, the dreadful specter of interchangeability of goddesses refuses to leave the room, though. There’s an even more nonsensical proposal, namely that Tanit is, somehow, Asherah. We have Frank Moore Cross of Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic to blame for this one. As outlined by Steve A. Wiggins in A Reassessment of Asherah With Further Considerations of the Goddess (p. 131), subsequent publications making the same claim just rely on Cross, with no new material added. The equation is utterly baseless since it depends on assigning symbols to “Asherah” (really to Ugaritic Athirat) based on the pure vibes school of scholarship. Alleged leonine connections rest entirely on the deeply puzzling equation with the sparsely attested Qudshu (or however we’re romanizing her name this week), conclusively proven to be an Egyptian invention (see Christiane Zivie Coche, Foreign Deities in Egypt, pages 4-5) and thus irrelevant to this discussion.

It’s worth noting the only reason why forced attempts are made every now and then is that since Q. appears once - on a now lost stela, lol - with Anat and Ashtart - she CLEARLY must be a northern goddess of equal standing which somehow means Athirat (hardly attested outside Ugarit, and even then, Shapash, Nikkal, Pidray, the collective Kotharat are all equally if not better attested…). So, in other words: the Tanit link here was built on multiple levels of unsound foundations.

Anat (/ˈɑːnɑːt/, /ˈænæt/), classically Anath (/ˈeɪnəθ, ˈeɪˌnæθ/; Hebrew: עֲנָת‎ ʿĂnāth; Phoenician: 𐤏𐤍𐤕 ʿAnōt; Ugaritic: 𐎓𐎐𐎚 ʿnt; Greek: Αναθ Anath; Egyptian Antit, Anit, Anti, or Anant) is a major northwest Semitic goddess. 

In Ugarit

In the Ugaritic Baal Cycle, ‘Anat is a violent war-goddess, a maiden (btlt ‘nt) who is the sister and, according to a much disputed theory, the lover of the great god Ba‘al Hadad. Ba‘al is usually called the son of Dagan and sometimes the son of El, who addresses ‘Anat as "daughter".

‘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 from Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), Syria[1] ‘Anat appears as a fierce, 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. "Her character in this passage anticipates her subsequent warlike role against the enemies of Baal".

’Anat boasts that she has put an end to Yam 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[3] 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 seizes 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 calf to Ba‘al on Mount Zephon. 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. Complicating matters is that northwest Semitic culture permitted more than one wife and nonmonogamy is normal for deities in many pantheons.

In the North Canaanite story of Aqhat,[4] the protagonist Aqhat son of the judge Danel (Dn'il) is given a wonderful bow and arrows which was created for ‘Anat by the craftsman god Kothar-wa-Khasis but which was given to Danel for his infant son as a gift. When Aqhat grew to be a young man, the goddess ‘Anat tried to buy the bow from Aqhat, offering even immortality, but Aqhat refused all offers, calling her a liar because old age and death are the lot of all men. He then added to this insult by asking 'what would a woman do with a bow?'

Like Inanna in the Epic of Gilgamesh, ‘Anat complained to El and threatened El himself if he did not allow her to take vengeance on Aqhat. El conceded. ‘Anat launched her attendant Yatpan in hawk form against Aqhat to knock the breath out of him and to steal the bow back. Her plan succeeds, but Aqhat is killed instead of merely beaten and robbed. In her rage against Yatpan, (text is missing here) Yatpan runs away and the bow and arrows fall into the sea. All is lost. ‘Anat mourned for Aqhat and for the curse that this act would bring upon the land and for the loss of the bow. The focus of the story then turns to Paghat, the wise younger sister of Aqhat. She sets off to avenge her brother's death and to restore the land which has been devastated by drought as a direct result of the murder. The story is incomplete. It breaks at an extremely dramatic moment when Paghat discovers that the mercenary whom she has hired to help her avenge the death is, in fact, Yatpan, her brother's murderer. The parallels between the story of ‘Anat and her revenge on Mot for the killing of her brother are obvious. In the end, the seasonal myth is played out on the human level.

Gibson (1978) thinks Rahmay ('The Merciful'), co-wife of El with Athirat, is also the goddess ‘Anat, but he fails to take into account the primary source documents. Use of dual names of deities in Ugaritic poetry are an essential part of the verse form, and that two names for the same deity are traditionally mentioned in parallel lines. In the same way, Athirat is called Elath (meaning "The Goddess") in paired couplets. The poetic structure can also be seen in early Hebrew verse forms.

In Egypt

Anat first appears in Egypt in the 16th dynasty (the Hyksos period) along with other northwest Semitic deities. She was especially worshiped in her aspect of a war goddess, often paired with the goddess `Ashtart. In the Contest Between Horus and Set, these two goddesses appear as daughters of Re and are given as allies to the god Set, who had been identified with the Semitic god Hadad.

During the Hyksos period Anat had temples in the Hyksos capital of Avaris and in Beth-Shan (Israel) as well as being worshipped in Memphis. On inscriptions from Memphis of 15th to 12th centuries BCE, Anat is called "Bin-Ptah", Daughter of Ptah. She is associated with Reshpu (Canaanite: Resheph) in some texts and sometimes identified with the native Egyptian goddess Neith. She is sometimes called "Queen of Heaven". Her iconography varies. She is usually shown carrying one or more weapons.

The name of Anat-her, a shadowy Egyptian ruler of this time, is derived from "Anat".

In the New Kingdom Ramesses II made ‘Anat his personal guardian in battle and enlarged Anat's temple in Pi-Ramesses. 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 Mesopotamia

In Akkadian, the form one would expect Anat to take would be Antu, earlier Antum. This would also be the normal feminine form that would be taken by Anu, the Akkadian form of An 'Sky', the Sumerian god of heaven. Antu appears in Akkadian texts mostly as a rather colorless consort of Anu, the mother of Ishtar in the Gilgamesh story, but is also identified with the northwest Semitic goddess ‘Anat of essentially the same name. It is unknown whether this is an equation of two originally separate goddesses whose names happened to fall together or whether Anat's cult spread to Mesopotamia, where she came to be worshipped as Anu's spouse because the Mesopotamian form of her name suggested she was a counterpart to Anu.

It has also been suggested that the parallelism between the names of the Sumerian goddess, Inanna, and her West Semitic counterpart, Ishtar, continued in Canaanite tradition as Anath and Astarte, particularly in the poetry of Ugarit. The two goddesses were invariably linked in Ugaritic scripture and are also known to have formed a triad (known from sculpture) with a third goddess who was given the name/title of Qadesh (meaning "the holy one").

In Israel

The goddess name, ‘Anat is preserved in the city names Beth-Anath and Anathoth. Anathoth seems to be a plural form of the name, perhaps a shortening of bêt ‘anātôt 'House of the ‘Anats', either a reference to many shrines of the goddess or a plural of intensification.

The ancient hero Shamgar, son of ‘Anat, is mentioned in Judges 3.31 and 5:6, which raises the idea that this judge or hero may have been understood as a demi-god, a mortal son of the goddess. But John Day (2000) notes that a number of Canaanites known from non-Biblical sources bore that title and theorizes that it was a military designation indicating a warrior under ‘Anat's protection. Asenath, "holy to Anath", was the wife of the Hebrew patriarch Joseph.

In Elephantine (modern Aswan) in Egypt, the 5th century BCE Elephantine papyri make mention of a goddess called Anat-Yahu (Anat-Yahweh) worshiped in the temple to Yahweh originally built by Jewish refugees from the Babylonian conquest of Judah. These suggest that "even in exile and beyond the worship of a female deity endured."[5] The texts were written by a group of Jews living at Elephantine near the Nubian border, whose religion has been described as "nearly identical to Iron Age II Judahite religion".[6] The papyri describe the Jews as worshiping Anat-Yahu (or AnatYahu). Anat-Yahu is described as either the wife[7] or paredra (sacred consort)[8] of Yahweh or as a hypostatized aspect[9] of Yahweh.[10][11]

In contemporary Israel, "Anat" is a common female first name - see Anat (disambiguation). Philologist Anat Bechar, who herself bears the name, wrote: "The Biblical Shamgar was a rather minor and obscure character, and of his mother Anat we know nothing but her name. We do know that it was the name of a goddess in a Semitic pantheon to which the author(s) of the Bible were strongly and vehemently opposed, though it seems some of our ancestors did at some times worship her. None of which explains the popularity of the name in present-day Israel. To my mind, the reason is likely to be found in the completely accidental similarity of "Anat" with the European name "Annette", which appealed to Zionist pioneers coming from Europe and steeped in European culture. However, this hypothesis needs a thorough research in the Hebrew records from the early 20th Century, to verify or disprove". [12]

Athene

In a Cyprian inscription (KAI. 42) the Greek goddess Athêna Sôteira Nikê is equated with ‘Anat (who is described in the inscription as the strength of life : l‘uzza hayim).[citation needed]

Anat is also presumably the goddess whom Sanchuniathon calls Athene, a daughter of El, mother unnamed, who with Hermes (that is Thoth) counselled El on the making of a sickle and a spear of iron, presumably to use against his father Uranus. However, in the Baal cycle, that rôle is assigned to Asherah / ‘Elat and ‘Anat is there called the "Virgin."[13][better source needed]

Possible late transfigurations

The goddess ‘Atah worshipped at Palmyra may possibly be in origin identical with ‘Anat. ‘Atah was combined with ‘Ashtart under the name Atar into the goddess ‘Atar‘atah known to the Hellenes as Atargatis. If this origin for ‘Atah is correct, then Atargatis is effectively a combining of ‘Ashtart and ‘Anat.

It has also been proposed that (Indo-)Iranian Anahita meaning 'immaculate' in Avestan (a 'not' + ahit 'unclean') is a variant of ‘Anat. It is however unlikely given that the Indo-Iranian roots of the term are related to the Semitic ones and although—through conflation—Aredvi Sura Anahita (so the full name) inherited much from Ishtar-Inanna, the two are considered historically distinct.

In the Book of Zohar, ‘Anat is numbered among the holiest of angelic powers under the name of Anathiel.

In Sefer Yetzirah by Rabbi Kaplan, he mentions that this angel is the ruling malach over Venus.

On the face of it, the three expressions seem to be parallel. The first may identify the group involved as El's family, but it would be possible to render bn 'il as "divine sons" and not literally as "sons of El." The other two phrases, "the assembly of the stars" (pḫr kbbm) and "the circle of those of heaven" ([]dr dt šmm), clearly involve astral language for it (cf 'ilm kbkbm in 1.43.2-3). However, it is important to note that the context of 1.10 I 3-5 is broken and not well understood. Given the many difficulties involved in interpreting 1.10 I 3-5, the hypothesis that El's family is astral requires support from texts that mention El and astral deities. Many astral figures are worthy of consideration in this regard: Shahar and Shalim, Yarih, Shapshu, Athtar and Athtart, and Resheph. 1. Shahar, "Dawn," and Shalim, "Dusk," are El's two sons, according to KTU 1.2.3. 2.The Moon-God Yarih̭ is evidently identified as n'mn ['i]lm, "the favorite of El," in KTU 1.24.25. In 1.92.14-6 Athtart's hunt provides meat for El and Yarih̭, the latter presumably as a member of the Head God's household. Yarih̭ participates in the cooking of a meal in El's house in 1.114. 3. The Sun-Goddess Shapshu serves as El's special messenger according to KTU 1.6 VI. It is to be noted further that the stars (kbkbm knm) are generally grouped after Her in 1.23.54 (cf bt 'ilm kbkbm in 1.43.2-3). See also the blessing in 1.102.26-7 paralleling the sun and moon with El: lymt špš wyrḫ wn'mtš'il. From the texts cited thus far it might be suggested that the sun, moon, and stars belong to El's family. 4. Athtar and Athtart seem also to belong to El's family, though supporting evidence lies in different texts. The Baal Cycle indicates that Athtar, unlike Baal, belongs to the family of El and Athirat (1.6.1). Athtart likewise seems to belong to El's family (see 1.92.14-6, noted above). At Emar (modern Tel Meskene), Athtar is once called dAš-tar MUL, "Ashtar of the Stars," and Aramaic texts from the ninth century onward attest to 'tršmn, "Athtar of Heaven," apparently a reference to the God's astral character. References to the astral character of Ishtar in Mesopotamian sources are also commonly used to bolster a case for Athtart as an astral "Queen of Heaven." Taken together such textual references lend credence to the old view that Athtar and Athtart represent the morning and evening "star" (Venus.) Accordingly, the basis for Their relationship to El and Athirat may lie in the astral character of this family unit. 5. Resheph may also be an astral figure. MJ Dahood and WJ Fulco have argued for the astralization of Resheph at Ugarit, based on the astronomical-omen text KTU 1.78: bṯṯ ym ḫdṯ ḫyr 'rbt špš ṯǵrh ršp, "on day six [?] of the new moon [in the month] of Hyr, the Sun went down, with Resheph [=Mars?] as Her/its gatekeeper." If the identification of Resheph with Mars is correct, then the text provides evidence for the astral character of the God. However, this identification is not assured. It may be noted perhaps in support of Resheph's astral character that 1.107.40 pairs Him with the Moon-God Yarih̭. However, it is also unclear if Resheph belongs specifically to El's family.
