Hello!

My name is Reuben, I'm almost 18, I live in Israel, I was born in Northern Samaria, and I'm a neo-Canaanite.

I see myself as a Hebrew-Jew, not as follower of Judaism, but a part of the Jewish people - as an ethnic people, following the Canaanite religion of the ancient Hebrews and our Northern Canaanite (Phoenician/Punic) brothers.

Well... Hi :)

Well this is bloody ironic. This is what I just posted on my status on Facebook:
Last day of excavation, it's end of the day, and I just finished blocking the entrance to the site by using a JCB. For some odd reason I decided to insist on telling the JCB driver to add an extra layer in order to make the idea that the way is blocked clearer. Well, after a minute a swarm of oriental hornets lynched mob me as apparently the front loader of the vehicle hit their ground nest. Is this some nasty joke of a Hindu god who uses Karma to pester me? It's the second time in several months that these winged fiends of Satan target me. Well, after spending an hour and a half in the emergency room, getting a tetanus shot, and a generous dose of liquid optalgin... I can safely say that a nice cold beer is the best anesthesia. Let the weekend commence... the pain is a small price to pay for the chance to excavate nude idols of Canaanite fertility goddesses.

Seems like the goddess Ashera and the god Baal sent you to me Ben Tanit!

I don't see why. Jews/Hebrews have been proved to come from the Canaanites, as well as the Hebrew language being Canaanite. I think the concept of "a Jew gotta adhert Judaism" is somewhat justified, yet not completely - coming from the Hebrews' canaanite origin.

You didn't read my entire post did you? ;)
I meant it is ironic considering what I just posted on my facebook status about nude idols of the Canaanite goddess Ashera.

So in case you didn't read my entire post, which seems to be the case. I find it ridiculously ironic that the first Israeli neopagan of the Canaanite type joins the forum on the same day I finish excavating a Canaanite archaeological site in Israel. Poetic and romantic. If I was the believing kind, I'd think that our ancient native gods are trying to tell me something ;)
And also, Ben Tanit... did you happen to go to the Israeli neopagan Mabon festival a few weeks ago?

Yeah, sorry I didn't read all of that... I think it is something Asherah (my central goddess) would plan - perhaps we have a destiny.

And no, at the time I was in Canada, visiting family.
