Re: Natib Qadish/ Kadesh Kan'anu (Canaanite Phoenician Polytheism)
Thank you Nail Leppu, this realy mean alot
Canaanite/ Phoenicians in History:
-History was written by the victorious, canaanism was demonized by all who came after.
-The hitties, the Asyrians, the Egyptians, Persians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans,...
-All tried to demolish the race, and the faith. from Sur(Tyrus) to Qart Hdasht(Carthage), but with all those actions, the faith still moved on with the occupiers.
Preservation of the faith, and troubles faced:
-Very few things remain from the texts of the faiths at the moment, as almost all writings were destroyed, and only very few remain at the ruins of the temples, at the museums, or hidden underground.
-Further disappearing of religious symbols, texts, and buildings, all due to isil targeting Palmyra.
-Closed National borders between Lebanon, Israel, Syria is a huge issue, but did not cease us from continuing our work.
-It's not easy for us to show off in public, that will lead to physical harm, and constant targeting.
-Most followers rather keep their belief secret, cuz of constant bashing from Jews, Christians, Muslims, and other monotheists.
Connection between Canaanism and Abrahamic religions:
As it was a polytheistic religion, unlike the monotheistic Abrahamic religions
The biggest connection is between Canaanite and ancient Judaism, as with all respect to all faiths (Yahwe) is considered god of the Hebrews

Language isn't an issue when u wish to worship, as it's easier for new westerners to use their native tongues when they first join the faith.
As they learn, slowly they will get to know the language basics.
Preferably, our groups in the middle east rather use original tongues, the Phoenician language, written and spoken is the main language to us, as it's the parent language to all Semitic languages.
Ugaritic, comes in second, it is the language used in ancient Ugaritic scriptures, which is the origins of the Canaanite polytheism.
I guess the answer is Phoenician then Ugaritic, but any language will do, as faith is in our hearts and minds, the tongue only projects what we believe in.

Thanks! Another question: is there any kind of ceremonial language or can you use whatever language you want in the rituals?
As they learn, slowly they will get to know the language basics.
