The sands of Canaan's ancient lore, Where Baal the real storm-god was worshiped through his righteous war, Against Yam the sea itself the taker of many and more, thrashing, wild salty embrace, the many clubs of Kothar, smashed Yam in his serpent's face relentless until Yam's heads split in two. Their love was shattered, for them… not me or you. Family in his watery realm. Thunder for his might bereaved. Rejoiced or grieved. Mot then as grim death, or simply famine's hollow maw, somehow swallowed Baal whole as daily he threatens to again consume us all. Contemptuous flaw; and not the end for Baal . Anat was beckoned to avenge him too, grinding Mot like grain, before it was through. Reviving Baal to rule again, their eternal fertile plain. Long before Yahweh was ever even known to be capable of rain. Yahweh , in his obscurity lands withered barren, no rain, no verdant law. They gave what they got and saw what they saw. NOTHING . Anat though was a powerful women, they tried to erase her from history take her femininity away from you and me . This fierce sister, hunted their devourer grim, Seized Mot in her wrath, cleaved her enemies limb from limb With sword splitting, sieve she winnowed our grain, teaching us how but to her we were never forced to bow. She burned some in fire, grinding under millstone reaped from the plow. Generously scattering his remnants to the birds to claim A grotesque pulverizing, we hear of the deeds seldom realizing death's own death they proclaim. Baal rose again of course renewed, fertility and its power restored, these cycles whisper Isis , Osiris : old gods to new faded, ignored. The tribes of Shem though were not done with him . They defaced Baal in the worst of ways stripping him not only of power and deed but of his very name in their lowly screed. They rebranded him as only Hadad a once mighty life bringer reduced to yet another god . Another of which you must forsake for there would be only one who’s lessons of 'love' you were to take. When the Iron came it literally fell into the wrong hands of those , who had forgotten well. That would almost be the end of Baal The end of the true old gods. The end of excitement and heroism and deed in myth , and thus the weakening of us all. No Arete or grand call. For greatness in combat and love making was to be no longer sought replaced by bland sameness, infinite rules and rituals are what the 12 tribes taught. Denigrated into “ turning the other cheek” a lie perpetrated to control the newly created liars the meek forever leading the meek. They shall NOT inherit this earth for money and greed was always their true god and to it , daily ... they give birth....
