Canaanite religion was followed by Ancient Semitic religions living in
the ancient Levant (modern regions of Israel, the West Bank, Gaza Strip,
Lebanon, Jordan and Syria) between early Bronze age (3000 BCE) till 1st
century of Common Era.
Child sacrifices were done by Canaanites in those era, and the goddess’s picture above looks similar to a vedic god carrying weapons in four hands and suppressing a head under her feet.In tantric tradition, Goddess Kaali is shown with four hands carrying weapons, wearing garland of skulls around her neck and suppressing a male head below her feet.An under-world deity, worshiped by the Phoenicians and Canaanites, and had associations with a particular kind of propitiatory child sacrifice by parents.
Canaanite goddess Astarte is shown on a seat and has her feet on the ground. She holds two snakes aloft over the heads of two horses. Below her feet are skulls, similar to Kaali.Her name is the second name in an energy chant sometimes used in Wicca: “Isiss, Astarte, Diana, Hecate, Demeter, Kali, Inanna.”We can notice the statue of Athirat of left, with a vedic tilak in center of her forehead.
