| Ugarit Texts (1600 - 1250 BCE) | ||
| ‘El’ married Asarte, who then produced seven daughters. | ||
| The same myth is reflected in the Ebla tablets between Yahweh (God) and his female consort Israel (from which the canaanite tribe of Israel get their name). | ||
| Asarte is the same as Ishtar. | ||
| Atarte was later called Asharte and later Aphrodite. | ||
| The devotees of Astarte were "maidens" of the temple, frequently referred in biblical and older texts. | ||
| They participated in mass orgies as part of the fertility rituals of the religion including the occassional participation in the ritual killing of young children and babies. | ||
| The blood of young children slayed in such rituals is later referred to in Greek texts as "ambrosia", the secret food of the Gods. | ||
| These banned rituals of the "dark" side of the Baal-Asharte religion were difficult to eliminate and flourished in secret cults. | ||
| Even to this day some secret black magic groups continue such practices, but without any sound knowledge of their true heritage. | ||
