Canaanite religion
Summary
The Canaanite religion was the group of ancient Semitic religions practiced by the Canaanites living in the ancient Levant from at least the early Bronze Age through the first centuries AD. Canaanite religion was polytheistic and, in some cases, monolatristic.
A group of deities in a four-tier hierarchy headed by El and Asherah
were worshiped by the followers of the Canaanite religion; this is a detailed listing:
Aglibol, god of the moon and brother of Malakbel. Part of a trio of gods of Palmyra, Syria, along with Bel and Yarhibol. Also part of another trio with Baalshamin and Malakbel.
Anat, virgin goddess of war and strife, sister and putative mate of Baʿal Hadad.
