Baal (son of El, mother Athirat/Asherah, sister/consort Anat/Ashtoreth, brothers Yam and Mot, epithet "Rider of the Clouds") connects in these ways:
A literal goddess, implying Yahwistic worship included a divine pair, not unlike El and Athirat in Canaanite religion.
The pantheon was led by El, accompanied by his consort Athirat and their seventy children, including gods like Baal, Anat, Yam, and Mot.
After victory, and after kingship politics with El and Athirat, the craftsman-god Kothar-wa-Khasis builds Baal a palace on Zaphon.
Athirat, especially in Ugaritic texts
She is sometimes called Athirat, especially in Ugaritic texts, where she is portrayed as the wife of El and the mother of seventy gods.
In general, the god Baal was seen as the son of the sky god El, and his mother was therefore Athirat.
Francesca Stavrakopoulou, in the scholarly layer I keep on this page, describes a Levantine pantheon under El, with Athirat and seventy children.
