Anath
In the El's Holy Injiyl, Anath is one of the 3 co-wife sistas of Ptah. She is also the mother of Nekaybaw. She is of the Twa Nation and with her husband Ptah, they were the rulers. Cuneiform was one of the dialects she spoke. Anath is pictured as a Black woman with an approximately 3" cut "afro/natural", small ears, eyes slanted up at the outside corners, thick lips, long nose, striking and intense eyes that appear to penetrate in their glance. Her co-wife sistas are Sekhmet and Bast.

ANAT or ANATH

Anat, or more often called Anath, comes from northern Canaan, developed as a result of diverse ethnic groups living in the coastal port of Ugarit, south of Anatolia (modern day Turkey). The information about her comes from the Ugaritan tablets which date to 1400 BCE. Anath is often compared to the worship of Ishtar as well as Asherah in the same Ugaritan tablets. There has also been some confusion over the origins of the Hyksos, a group that appears to have introduced the name Anat into Egypt.
Anath had power in battle in the city of Ugarit. She was called upon as "Mistress of the Lofty Heavens; Ruler of Dominion; Controller of Royalty; Virgin, yet Progenitor of People; Mother of All Nations; Sovereign of All Deities; and Strength of Life"(Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood 120). Hathor horns adorned her head and the sacred symbol of life, the holy ankh of Egypt, was shown in Anath's hand. Some claimed that Anath was the daughter of Asherah.
Anath had great powers, for she heard of the slaying of her brother Baal and punished Mot who killed him. She seized Mot with her own two hands, cleaved him in two with a blade, and burned him with fire. Yet Anath's gentleness is shown in her grieving for Baal. Soon after his death, Baal was reborn, returning to kneel to her, admiring her strength. Anath annihilated the God River, muzzled the great dragon, slew the crooked serpent, vanquished fire and flame, and conquered the waters of the flood"(Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood 122).
Bint-Anath

Bint-Anath was the daughter of Ramesses II and Queen Istnofret. She was probably the Batau'anth of early records and became Ramesses consort when his Queens Istnofret and Nefertari died or retired.

Anath has four aspects: mother, warrior, wanton virgin, and violent maiden. She rules love, war, sex, death, grain, sacrifice, and lust. Anath is the personification of life itself, in all its gore and glory. Her titles include Lady of the Mountain, Mistress of the Sky, Queen of Heaven, Mother of the Gods, The Merciful, Progenitress of Peoples, Strength of Life, Mother of Nations, and Mistress of all Gods. Anath's worship was later merged with that of ASHERAH.
Anath has enormous energy, to support her appetite for sex and battle. She remains ever a virgin, despite her promiscuity. Anath was depicted as a woman holding a shield and an axe; or naked, with prominent breasts and vulva. Before doing battle, she made herself up with rouge and henna. The lance, shield, and battleaxe are Anath's symbols. Her sacred animals are the lion and the asp. The willow is her tree, and all types of grain are sacred to her.
El is Anath's father. She is Baalís sister, and favorite lover. Their lust was so great that she once sought him out while he was hunting and they made love 77 times in the wild. It was Anath who finally defeated Baalís enemy Mot, after he had killed Baal. She cut, winnowed, and sowed Mot like grain. Invoke Anath for fertility, lust, battle, hunting, archery, creation, victory, love spells, sex magic, and defeating enemies.
