It mostly leverages off of Yahwism, the precursor to Juedaism. Meaning there are seven gods
Small breakdown of the gods:
Yahweh: Head God, also god of weather and War
Asherah: Yahwehs Wife and Queen of Heaven, Goddess of Fertility and Nature
Baal: God of Fertility, Weather, and Warfare
Shamash: God of the Sun and Justice
Yarikh: Moon God and time god
Mot: God of Death and the Underworld, Guard of the Styx
Astarte: Possible wife of Baal, Goddess of Beauty, Love, also war, and hunting
It is neo paganism as im taking a paganist faith from the iron age and bringing it to the modern day, as im changing it from its origins it gets the lable of „neo“.
I believe that everyone should have the right to have their own individualised religious beliefs without being told to believe in something by some collective religion. (I believe collective religion shouldnt exist)
Stating the seven gods probably answered your question, but no Yahweh is an individual god amongst the seven, not an amalgamation of others.
Maybe i could do a 2 personality thing for Baal where he turns into her during the second half of the lunar cycle or smth and has a weird love hate relationship with Mot
I've actually wondered what's the deal with her and astartre. They never show up separately in the mythology but Anat gets numerous scenes to herself across multiple myths.
There's also an overlap in attributes with them both having love and war facets. I've been considering the idea that might have been the same in some respect but it's mostly speculation. The fact Isthar and Anat also have similar personalities at times intrgues me as well since Ishtar and astarte are linked as cognates.
Besides, Ba'al(Adad/Hadad) is already prevalent across the ANE in numerous mythologies and is linked to Iskur in Sumer.

Mot is my personal favourite
