2025-11-09 00:02:09 +0000 UTCI'm definitely interested in more content on early Canaanite Gods and Goddesses, how they relate to religion in other nearby cultures. I'm also interested in what we know about other gods being worshiped in the temple and all the other things that God hates (Ezekiel 8); not that I enjoy upsetting God, I'm just curious.

2025-11-06 09:49:03 +0000 UTCcool! i forgot Josiah had that whole moment yelling about the Asherah, the story i'm writing has a character based on him, not sure it's going well writing-wise but this was a fun moment of "oh right, he did that!" ^.^

2025-11-05 22:19:23 +0000 UTCI know a little about Hittite mythology but I'm not clear how much is their own and what came from the Hatti, Mitanni and Mesopotamia. I hope you'll be able to clarify that.

2025-11-05 18:37:49 +0000 UTCI know very little about Hittite mythology so anything you can come up with would probably be interesting.

2025-11-05 17:42:35 +0000 UTCEPISODE ON ANAT YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. She's like a cross between Kali Maa and an Elric from FMA, holy shit what she did in retaliation when her brother died. A woman after my own heart. She makes me proud. ::wipes away a tear:: You'd also mentioned in your first video about Yahweh that there are a few stories about the Canaanite El having a few too many drinks from time to time, and I would *love* to hear those. I have a feeling going up to the Norse lands to do a video about the elusive Loki, or up to the Celtic lands for one on the Morrigan or Brigid might be outside your scope, though if you think it'd be fun to do, I would absolutely not say no! My heritage is Celt on one side, and Norse/German on the other, so the subject's personal to me. But hell, a video about the origins of Aphrodite would be amazing. I know there's the thought that she might've been a transplanted version of Astarte, and my friend who's a Hellenist and has a BA in the subject, has a pet theory that within the mythology, she was meant to be a trap of some kind by Ouranus (I think I got the right god), which is why neither Zeus nor Apollo, the two "biggest man-sluts," as she put it (which she says with love as she's a devotee to Apollo most specifically), wouldn't touch her, and Zeus was fast to marry her off to Hephaestus to keep Hera from marrying her to Ares. I don't remember what she said that trap might've been, and I might be getting a couple of details about her theory wrong, but damn. Hearing outside thoughts from an academic perspective would be super entertaining.
