Natib Qadish (also known as Canaanite Paganism, Canaanite Neopaganism, or Canaanite Reconstructionism) is the neopagan revival of historical Canaanite religion.
Definition
Natib Qadish is a modern polytheistic religion based upon the religious practices of ancient Canaan and the veneration of the Canaanite Deities. This religion is often included under the “umbrella” category of modern Paganism, Neopaganism, or Reconstructionism.
To the ancient Canaanites, religion was inherently a part of life such that they did not have a separate word that means “religion.” “Natib” in the ancient language of Ugaritic means “path,” while “qadish” means “sacred,” thus the name means “sacred path.” This phrase is a modern construction from an ancient language.
Sometimes a Canaanite Pagan is called a “Qadish” (“Qadishuma,” plural) simply referring to the belief that we are all sacred.
Geography
Ancient Canaan corresponded with areas which are now part of the modern-day Middle-Eastern countries of Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan and the Palestinian territories.
History
:For detailed notes regarding the history of Canaan, please see Canaan, Ugarit, Ebla, Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos.
The Phoenicians are often classified as one of the sister or daughter cultures of Canaan, and Carthage was a daughter-colony of the Phoenicians. Some modern practitioners blend Phoenician religion into their Canaanite religious practices.
The Hebrew people may also be descended from the Canaanites, with possible early polytheistic roots of the Jewish religion being siteted to demonstrate a close tie to the ancient Canaanites. However, it should be noted that Natib Qadish, Canaanite Paganism is not the same religion as that of the Hebrews, and it is also not the same religious path as Judeo-Paganism, Ceremonial magic or practices involving the Kabbalah, although some Canaanite Pagans may choose to incorporate these a part of their own personal practices.
The modern religion has not been established long enough to have much written about it in a history section. An early self-proclaimed Canaanite-Phoenician Pagan is Lilinah biti-Anat who, with three other friends in California, began to practice a form of Canaanite-Phoenician Paganism. Lilinah biti-Anat’s site Qadash Kinahnu was the first site concerning the subject in some depth. The first networking online group for Canaanite Pagans was started in the late 1990s by Qadash Kinahnu, but due to lack of participation was dissolved several years later. The most active current online networking group is the Natib Qadish Canaanite Paganism Discussion Group.
is a newer site that concentrates more upon Canaanite and Ugaritic practices.
Deities
Many of the Deities revered by Canaanite Pagans include the Deities listed in the Ugaritic texts found in modern-day Ras Shamra around 1928. Some of these Deities include:
*Ilu, the benevolent King of the Deities
**see also
*Athirat, wise Queen of the Deities
**see also the Hebrew Asherah
*Anat, impetuous adolescent Goddess of war and passion
**see also the Greek Astarte and the composite Goddess Qudshu known to the Egyptians
*Ba’al-Hadad, also known as Ba’lu; God of the Storms
**see also Baal and Hadad
*Kothar-wa-Khasis, God of Crafting and Magic, his name may mean “skillful and clever”
**see also the Egyptian God Ptah
*Shapshu, also known as Shapash, Goddess of the Sun
*Yam, also known as Nahar; serpentine God of the Seas
*Mot, God of Death and Sterility
*Rashap, God of Plague, and perhaps healing
**see also Reshep or Reshef
*Athtartu, also known as Athtarat; a Goddess who is often paired with Anat
**see also the Greek Astarte and the Biblical Ashtoreth
*Gapan and Ugar, Gods of Vine and Field, respectively; are helpers of Ba’al
*Choron, also known as Horon; God of Treaties, Curses, and perhaps healing venomous bites and stings
**see also Egyptian Hauron
*Yarikh, God of the Moon
*Nikkal-wa-Ib or simply Nikkal, Goddess of Orchards, and perhaps a former Mesopotamian Moon deity
*The Kathirat, also written as Kotharat: the seven bird-like Goddesses who ensure human fertility
*Athtar, an astral God and/or a God of Irrigation
*Shachar and Shalim, the dawn and dusk
*The kkbm (perhaps “kakabuma”); this may refer to “Star Gods” or simply “stars”
Sacred texts, legends, epics
Much of what we know of the mythology of Canaan comes from the fragmentary clay tablets from Ugarit. The tablets date around 14th-13th Century BCE, and were rediscovered 1928 CE. The clay tablets were written using an alphabet, perhaps the earliest alphabet in human history, and utilizing a style of writing known as cuneiform. The transcribed stories were probably a part of oral tradition that may predate their writing by a few hundred years.
One of the more lengthy set of stories details the adventures of Ba’al: Ba’al versus Yam, Ba’al Builds His Palace, and Ba’al versus Mot. In Ba’al versus Yam, Ba’al fights Yam for dominion over the earth. Upon winning the battle, with some help from Kothar-wa-Khasis’s magic weapons, Ba’al needs to build a palace. The building a Palace was a symbol for the establishment of Ba’al’s rightful rule. After establishing his palace, Ba’al then battles with Mot in order to retain his kingship.
An old scholarly theory explored the idea that the tales of Ba’al were a part of a mythological seasonal cycle. This theory, however, is problematic. Modern scholars are now viewing the Ba’al tales as a metaphor for only the end of summer and the beginning of the rainy season, and more so as a tale exploring the ideas of kingship.
In another tale, the tale of King Kirtu, we see a king bereft of family and heirs. As such, he would have no one to care for him in his dotage, carry on his family, nor retain the kingship. In a dream, Ilu grants Kirtu instructions on obtaining a wife.
The tale of the Wedding of Yarikh and Nikkal, Yarikh makes arrangements to wed Nikkal. This text may have been written exclusively for a wedding that transpired in the city of Ugarit.
Aqhat meets a bloody end in the tale of Prince Aqhat. He has acquired a special bow made by Kothar-wa-Khasis. Anat covets the bow and eventually kills him for it. The bow breaks and Anat mourns—perhaps mourning not just the breaking of the bow, but for the death of Aqhat. Aqhat’s death leads to the sterility of the fields.
Beliefs and practices
Offerings, sacrifices, and libations
In Natib Qadish, there are three basic kinds of offerings:
*Burnt Offerings: offering, usually foodstuffs, is completely burned. This is a very rare kind of offering.
*“Peace” Offerings: offering is made complete and whole. Food or material items may be then used in service of the Deities, buried, or—if food—left for the animals. Libations can be consumed in service of the Deities at a communal meal, or may be poured into the earth. “Peace” offerings are the most common of offerings.
*Performance Offerings: often consist of dance, recitation of myth, or artistic creation to be used in service to the Deities.
Ethics
The ancient Canaanites had a concept of “sin,” but it differed from the modern concept. To the Canaanites, it did not necessarily mean a disobedience to a Divine mandate. Instead, it meant that one committed an act that caused social and universal imbalance.
In order to free oneself of sin, one would do an act to repair the imbalance, and/or perform acts to cleanse and purify oneself, and perform certain incantations. See also Seven Components.
Holidays and observances
Natib Qadish celebrate holidays at certain times of the year, as well as observing the phases of the moon.
Shanat Qadish
The Shanat Qadish is a reconstructed Canaanite festival calendar based upon the Ugaritic texts from roughly 14-13th Century BCE found at Ugarit, upon the Gezer Calendar written in roughly 925 BCE, and upon the seasonal occurrences in this part of the world during the Bronze Age.
The word “Ashuru” means “festival” or “feast”:
*Ashuru Mathbatu: Festival of Dwellings, new moon of month of Autumnal Equinox
*Marzichu: Funerary Celebration, sometimes placed at new moon in November-December
*Ashuru Aru: Festival of Light, Winter Solstice
*Ashuru Shamnu: Festival of Oil, seventh day after the new moon after winter solstice
*Ashuru Gannu: Festival of the Garden, Spring Equinox
**Ashuru Liyatu: a Festival of Garlands. The only note we have for a holiday occurring around this time is a note in the Gezer calendar stating that this is a month of “harvest and feasting.” This holiday may occur on the full moon of May-June.
*Ashuru Zabru: Festival of Pruning (of grape vines), Summer Equinox. Some Canaanite Pagans prefer using the Ba’al Epic as a seasonal calendar, and mourn the “Death of Ba’al” during Summer Equinox.
*Ashuru Ra’shu Yeni: Festival of the New Wine, seven-day holiday beginning at full moon.
Lunar observances
*Chudthu: New Moon. (the “ch” is pronounced like the “ch” in “Chanukah”). We often observe the new moon of each month with meditation, discussion, study, and rest.
*Yamu Mlatu: Full Moon, although the phrase literally means “full tide.” Full moon is often marked with offerings to the Deities.
Misconceptions
A misconception, especially within the greater Pagan community is the confusion of Canaanite Paganism/Natib Qadish with Judeo-Paganism. Natib Qadish and Judeo-Paganism are two different paths. Although Judeo-Paganism share some themes in common, the focus and practices of these paths often differ considerably. Judeo-Paganism is often based on Judaism, research concerning the early Jews, and Jewish traditions. Natib Qadish is focused upon practices of the ancient Canaanites and their mythological literature, including the literature of the city-state of Ugarit.However,since one must do nothing more than identify oneself as such, it is certainly possible to be both a
"Jewitch"
and Canaanite Pagan.
Natib Qadish is open to anyone regardless of age, ethnicity, ancestry, gender, or sexual orientation.

Meatarianism
From , the free encyclopedia
(http://en. .org/wiki/Hunting)
This article refers to human nutrition and diet.
Meatarianism is the practice of a diet that includes all animal flesh, including poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacea, and slaughter by-products and MOST importantly meat products produced through http://en. .org/wiki/Hunting . The reasons for choosing meatariansim may be related to morality, religion, culture, ethics, aesthetics, environment, society, economy, politics, taste, or health or just because you love to get out and hunt.
There are several variants of the diet, some of which also include eggs and/or some products produced from animal labor such as dairy products and honey. Meaganism for example, includes all animal products without adding any by products such as vegetable sides or croutons. By some strict definitions, animal products are used for attire, either way it is based on the hunters capacity. Every part of the hunted animal should be consumed or used in some format with little or no waste involved.
A generic term for both meatarianism and meaganism, as well as for similar diets, is "Animalia-based diets".
Properly planned meatarian diets have been found to satisfy the nutritional needs for all stages of life, and large-scale studies have shown meatarianism to significantly increase ones love of life and create a sense of well-being with the natural environment.
It should be noted that most meatarians also are aware of avoiding products that do not use animal ingredients not included in their labels or which do not use animal products in their manufacturing, or do not specifically come from what a hunter provided, i.e. soy, groats, carrageenan, vitamins, or meatless vegetarian products.
Semi-meatarian diets
Semi-meatarian diets are diets that primarily consist of non hunt related foods, but make exceptions for some non-vegetarian foods. These diets may be followed by those who choose to reduce the amount of hunted animal flesh consumed, or sometimes as a way of transitioning to a purely carnivorous diet.
Etymology
Members of the www.answers.yahoo.com ™ Hunting Forum claim to have created the term Meatarianism, though several other sources cite its use. Meatariansim was created founded in order to provide sportsmen and women alike who feel slighted by not having been given the labels so generously provided to others in many other forums. Most are tired of being called the following and are seeking to identify with more mature labeling that is more appropriate for those of the hunter ilk. Many do not either appreciate or enjoy the following:
-Bunny Killer
-Backwoods
-Hillbilly's
-Rednecks
-Uneducated white farm laborer
-Southern Appalachian residents
Or any variation thereof...
Health issues
Meatarianism is considered a healthy, viable diet. Hunters everywhere have found a properly-planned meatarian diet to satisfy the nutritional needs for all stages of life, and studies have shown meatarianism to significantly increase the health and well being of outdoorsmen and women in all walks of life irrelevant of intelligence or income.
Nutrition
Protein
Protein intake in vegetarian and vegan diets is far greater than in vegetarian diets and can exceed daily requirements for any person ensuring it is not necessary to derive protein from Vegetarian sources. Essential amino acids can also be obtained by eating a variety of complementary plant sources that, in combination, provide all eight essential amino acids (eg. Homemade pudding, mama’s cornbread, collards, beans of any kind, and Sweet Ice Tea!). A varied intake of such sources can be adequate.
Iron
Meatarian diets typically contain greater levels of iron than non-vegetarian diets due to hunting skill and the use of iron skillets when cooking. Iron absorption can be inhibited by consumption of third party introduced dietary supplements such as corn whiskey and hot homebrew.
Fatty acids
A meatarian diet includes fish — a major source of Omega 3 fatty acids. It has been proven though that some hunters just aren’t cut out to be fishermen and certainly the reverse is the same.
Longevity
While meatarians may not live as long as those who choose otherwise, the quality of life for them is nothing short of amazing. Activities include (but are by no means limited to) long walks in dark woods holding a bag as you stumble through the woods blindely hollering “here snipe” or shaking so bad you shoot your buddy with an arrow because you couldn’t get sighted in on that 145 point buck sitting right below your tree.
Food safety
You hunt it, kill it, clean it, stor it, and prepare it so that means you know and are responsible for exactly where it came from.
Motivations for Meatarianism
Ethics
Various humane reasons have been suggested for choosing meatarianism. It has been argued, for example, that the production, slaughtering, and consumption of meat or animal products is unethical. Reasons for this include a belief in animal rights, an aversion to inflicting pain or harm on other living creatures, or a belief that the unnecessary killing of other animals is inherently wrong. It has been proven that the methods by which animals are reared in the commercial industry are unethical and that the quick and humane kills provided by efficient hunting is both fair chase and more ethical.
Environmental
Oudoorsman provide a significant positive effect on the environment by supporting hunting through the purchase of Licenses and materials necessary to productively hunt.

Meatarian diets typically contain greater levels of iron than non-vegetarian diets due to hunting skill and the use of iron skillets when cooking. Iron absorption can be inhibited by consumption of third party introduced dietary supplements such as corn whiskey and hot homebrew.
Fatty acids
A meatarian diet includes fish — a major source of Omega 3 fatty acids. It has been proven though that some hunters just aren’t cut out to be fishermen and certainly the reverse is the same.
Longevity
While meatarians may not live as long as those who choose otherwise, the quality of life for them is nothing short of amazing. Activities include (but are by no means limited to) long walks in dark woods holding a bag as you stumble through the woods blindely hollering “here snipe” or shaking so bad you shoot your buddy with an arrow because you couldn’t get sighted in on that 145 point buck sitting right below your tree.
Food safety
You hunt it, kill it, clean it, stor it, and prepare it so that means you know and are responsible for exactly where it came from.
Motivations for Meatarianism
Ethics
Various humane reasons have been suggested for choosing meatarianism. It has been argued, for example, that the production, slaughtering, and consumption of meat or animal products is unethical. Reasons for this include a belief in animal rights, an aversion to inflicting pain or harm on other living creatures, or a belief that the unnecessary killing of other animals is inherently wrong. It has been proven that the methods by which animals are reared in the commercial industry are unethical and that the quick and humane kills provided by efficient hunting is both fair chase and more ethical.
Environmental
Oudoorsman provide a significant positive effect on the environment by supporting hunting through the purchase of Licenses and materials necessary to productively hunt.
