Tanit ibiza basquiat biography

Several hundred years BCE, the Phoenicians, who came from the Eastern Mediterranean, settled in Ibiza. A dynamic trading people, they worshipped an entire pantheon including the sun god Baal and the moon goddess Tanit, who represented dance, fertility, sexuality, and creativity. Interestingly, Tanit's powers are linked to the island's natural water sources that stand for fertility and purity.

The fact that islanders today still perform traditional dances around wells and springs throughout the summer months is living testimony to her ongoing influence.

Regarded as Ibiza's protector, Tanit once had her very own temple where the cathedral in Ibiza Town now stands.
