Ep. 15 - Awakening to Our Cultural Crisis - The Indo-European Horse Twins

[@Osoronnophris]

An Ugaritic myth known as The Gracious and Most Beautiful Gods describes Shalim and his brother Shahar as offspring of El through two women he meets at the seashore. They are both nursed by "The Lady", likely Asherah, and have appetites as large as "(one) lip to the earth and (one) lip to the heaven." In other Ugaritic texts, the two are associated with the sun goddess.

Cool! Thank you for sharing. I never heard of this one before. That does sound like probably Asherah. It is always nice to see how diverse people have still such similar myths and deities. The PIE twins also follow the sun goddess through the sky. Or the dawn goddess. The PIE ones are said to follow their sister through the sky to the island of the blessed.

Isaiah 14:12-15 has been the origin of the belief that Satan was a fallen angel, who could also be referred to as Lucifer.[7] It refers to the rise and disappearance of the morning star Venus in the phrase "O Shining One, son of Dawn!" (Hebrew: הֵילֵל בֶּן־שָׁחַר, romanized: Hēlēl ben Shāḥar, lit. 'exalted one, son of Shāḥar', translated as Lucifer in the Vulgate and preserved in the early English translations of the Bible.)[7]
