The Pantheon

  • ʿAṯtarsamain/ʿAṯtarsamay/ʿAṯtart Samay: Her name means Morning Star of Heaven and She is associated with the planet Venus. She is more commonly known as Allāt who had a warrior aspect that linked Her with Athena.
  • Dai/Da'ay: Not much is known about this obscure deity
  • Nuhai/Nuha/Nuhay: Her name means "wise" or "ultimate" which might allude to some sort of wisdom tradition She is associated with. Nuha is also associated with the sun and is called the "Elevated Sun" or the "Ever-Exalted Sun."
  • Ruldaiu/Ruḍa/Ruḍay/Ruḍaw: The father of Allāt/ʿAṯtarsamay, the pair form the main divinities of the Safaitic-writers representing the Moon and Venus like Sin and Ishtar in Mesopotamia, which is where His cult originated.
  • Abrillu: Like Dai, not much is known about this deity
  • ʿAṯtarkurma/ʿAṯtarquruma: Might be a manifestation of ʿAṯtarsamay
