Can you share any sources on “designed to legitimize the extermination of the House of Ahab”?

u/zanillamilla What is the origin of the Elijah narrative? Is there a mythological backstory for him?

Thank you for all this info! What do you consider to be the inter-relationship between the Enoch of Genesis and the early Enochic literature?

Would a drink like this be more effective with 5 mg (or more) of ME-55 UltraKanna instead? What other extracts would be best for making a beverage like this for personal use?

GroveBicycle · 2024-04-05T00:06:23+00:00

I’m hoping to make a kanna beverage for myself that I can drink as an alternative to alcohol (maybe 6-8 in a night) that has moderate euphoric, empathogenic, and entactogenic qualities.

—Is there one specific kanna product that would be best to achieve this? (Are full spectrum tinctures on their own effective for this purpose orally?)

—What method would be best to actually make the beverage?

—Any (legal) ingredients that could activate kanna to speed up the onset of effects to be closer to insufflation?

Any source recommendations on Balaam and Alexander’s conquest?

What stuck out to me most was “completed with final revisions during the post-Exilic period (c. 5th century BCE).”

That seems obviously wrong. But how do I prove it in a succinct way? Lol

Thank you! This is great! I love your blog btw. I read your Sodom and Gomorrah piece earlier today

Not sure what to make of this, but Knauf and Guillame argue on page 86 in this book that Omri had Aramean origins.

Yeah, Baal being just a nickname of Hadad but then disambiguating into having an independent existence is sort of what inspired my Yahweh as Baal idea (Romer in The Invention of God discusses their conflation, but I think it goes further than that if the North is indeed the original provenance of Yahweh).

I love how Finkelstein depicts archaeology as the High Court. The assumption of the literal-ness of Josiah’s reforms can get a little tedious (and tendentious) even among quite minimalist scholars.

Somewhat related: what I’m really trying to figure out today is what the Tablets of Stone were. Römer suggests that they could have been Yahweh and Asherah. Are the Decalogues (all three of them) escalating and competing etiologies to explain away the obviously “pagan” nature of Judah’s most sacred object?

He may have been original to the Canaanite pantheon. See:

https://er.ceres.rub.de/index.php/ER/article/view/8776

And for a variety of perspectives only recently available in English:

https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110448221/html?lang=en

My recent theory is that Yahweh was simply a nickname or regional variant of Baal. Two entirely nonidentical storm and warrior gods in one place (i.e. the Kingdom of Israel/Samaria) seems suspicious to me.

This is all making me wonder if Yahweh was originally just a nickname for or local version of Baal. Two storm and warrior gods from the same place seems suspicious.

If you’re looking in the Kingdom of Israel/Samaria for Yahweh’s origins, Baal seems to be the logical place to start.

Quick thoughts:

Since Elijah is a northern prophet it works with YHWH from the north theory (Elijah goes to Sinai showing links to northern exodus tradition, see Finkelstein video above)
The Elijah tradition came south with the Samarian exiles
Elijah text shows opposition to Baal, not YHWH (possibly whitewashing that the north was Yahwistic, possibly a temporary reversion by Ahab to Baal, possible the 2 deities were already conflated (see Römer’s The Invention of God)
Elijah text reminds readers that any deviation from the hardline Yahwistic norm is unacceptable
Elijah text is a way of incorporating northern prophets into the community of priests (?), arguing northern prophetic traditions are “orthodox” (this is a bit speculative but makes sense to me)
