Baal is the storm god with a thousand faces—lord of thunder, master of rain, kingmaker, and shape-shifter who haunts the ancient Levant. His myth is a cycle of death and rebirth, thunder and drought, always on the knife-edge between power and defeat. Farmers, sailors, and kings all turned to him when survival hung on the weather’s whim. Yet Baal’s story is no simple legend: he was worshipped, reviled, transformed into a demon, and survives in memory long after his temples fell. This episode dives into the riddle of Baal—the god who refused to be forgotten, even by history itself.
