Tendrils of musky incense curl about you in Baal's temple of seven elements. You light an oil lamp in reverence to the ancient deities. Have you ever wondered who the deities in the land of Canaan before the Bible were? A practical and well-documented guide, this work combines history and archaeology of the Canaanite world with modern insight. In "Whisper of Stone", learn about Asherah poles, how to avert the Evil Eye, how ancient sorcerers created golems, and about the legends that inspired the Bible. Unearth a culture buried in bias, rediscover a pantheon and a people formerly described as needlessly violent, sex-crazed, and devoid of humanity. Read of a religion far more rich and complex than previously understood.
