Another example would be Asteroth, who preportedly was the Grand Duke of Hell in books on Demonology in Medieval times. Asteroth was actually taken from Asterah or Ashera who was a great Goddess in Babylonian and Sumerian times. Some say, that in certain Hebraic tribes She was worshipped as the wife of God.

Gotta love vague internet lists, I knew Asteroth was derived from Ashera, but did not realize that about Baal. lol God of Agriculture is kind of fitting though considering my education and career.
Baal is funny, he will go from trying to chew out my achille's tendon to a purring baby in 2 seconds flat..all I have to do is sit on the couch and cover myself with my thow and he's all over it.
Thank you Haunted!!
The best of luck to you and your kitty Cheebacheeba. I think he will live a long full life when he recovers..my mom's "son" lived until he was 19.
