A comprehensive discussion of texts concerning the goddess Asherah, as she is portrayed in texts from Ugarit (both epic and ritual texts, as well as the lists of sacrifices), Israel (the Khirbet el-Qom and Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions) and the Old Testament. The main theses of the book are that two or more divinities carrying the same name but separated by several hundred years are not necessarily to be identified; that Asherah is probably not a name, but rather a title, carried by the main goddess in ancient Syria-Palestine; that the Asherah of the Old Testament and the Israelite texts was indeed the consort of Yahweh; and that the relationship between the text-groups discussed is of a nature that demands great caution, if one wishes to work comparatively with them.

Recent archaeological discoveries have suggested that there was a Canaanite goddess who was not only worshipped by the people of ancient Israel during the time of the monarchy (1000-587 B.C.E.), but who was so much associated with Yahweh as to be construed as Yahweh's consort. This book investigates the goddess, Asherah. Exploring her ancient Canaanite backgrounds sets the stage for an exhaustive study of the biblical references to Asherah. This study examines each of the forty references in detail. An archaeological section lends corroborating evidence. This book defends the proposition that Asherah was indeed worshipped by the people of Israel, offering the biblical texts as the primary evidence.

Recent archaeological discoveries have encouraged scholars to reinvestigate the Israelite religion. In this book, Judith Hadley uses these discoveries, alongside biblical material and non-biblical inscriptions, to examine the evidence for the worship of Asherah as the partner of God in the Bible. By investigating the Khirbet al-Qom and Kuntillet 'Ajrud inscriptions, for example, where the phrase 'Yahweh and his Asherah' is frequently in evidence, the author asks what the ancient Israelites meant by this, how they construed the relationship between Yahweh and Asherah, and whether in fact the term actually referred to an object of worship rather than to a goddess. The author also evaluates more recent scholarship to substantiate her conclusions. This is a detailed and brilliant study which promises to make a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the exact nature of Asherah and her significance in pre-exilic Israel and Judah.

One of the most popular goddesses from the ancient world is Asherah. She appears everywhere from the Bible to novels and comic books. The facts about Asherah, however, are often overlooked. In this edition of Wiggins 1993 study of the goddess, the authors articles and book reviews concerning the goddess have been added to his original book. To date, this monograph contains the only full-length treatment of the Ugaritic material on Asherah in addition to a comprehensive examination of the textual sources from the Hebrew Bible, ancient Mesopotamia, Epigraphic South Arabian and Hittite sources, as well as the intriguing Hebrew inscriptions that perhaps mention the goddess. The original text of the monograph is supplemented by articles that update the ever-expanding bibliography on the goddess and that deal with iconographic representations and Asherahs supposed associations with trees, snakes, and lions. Gorgias Press is pleased to bring back into print this study on a timely subject.

God's Wife: the Goddess Asherah, Wife of Yahweh. Although a disconcerting notion to some, a galaxy of ancient artifacts reveals that goddess worship existed in Ancient Israel and that Asherah was but one of Yahweh's wives. Following a trail of archaeological discoveries, the forgotten story of God's wife, the quintessential Hebrew Mother Goddess Asherah, is slowly reconstructed in this extensive study with over 550 archaeological drawings and 1,183 references. Mentioned over 40 times in the Hebrew Bible, the archaeological evidence identifies Asherah as Yahweh's primary wife and reveals she is the only surviving goddess in Palestine by the end of the 7th-6th centuries BCE. Asherah's stunning history unfolds as the shovels of archaeology resurrect what the pens of history forgot. *A subject pioneered by Raphael Patai's The Hebrew Goddess (1967) and William G. Dever's Did God Have a Wife? Archaeology and Folk Religion in Ancient Israel (2005).

A few books exist on Asherah so I am going to jump in and add my two cents. I found the others to be rather complex. I will do my best to deconstruct it all in this book, but for the sake of brevity I can't go too deep. Like all my books, I will cover the texts and history. I have many old notes that I will clean up and present here. We will discuss Asherah's wide-ranging presence from Akkadian sources all the way through Arabian ones and a few more. We will start with the Old Testament sources first since that is essentially what put her on the map of Intellectual history so to speak. We will also learn more about ways to call upon her and tap into her ancient power. She is, after all, the divine consort of God, the Queen of the Heaven. In this book, we will be calling upon Asherah for the following: 1. We will call upon her to vanquish our enemies. 2. We will Use Her to Attain Love. 3. To Gain Seductive Powers 4. We Will Call Upon Her For Abundance. 5. We Will Call Upon Her For Healing.

We have been led to believe that for the past 5000 years that the feminine has not been an active agent in the Judeo-Christian tradition. But many feminists will rightfully assert that we have been led astray. Just as the feminine was an active agent in the Near Eastern Traditions, the Egyptian, Greek and Hindu traditions she was also present in the Hebrew Tradition. It is through the lens of the feminist theologian employing feminist criticism and the hermeneutics of suspicion that I am going to explore the issue of the consort of Yahweh. I propose that Wisdom/Sophia as evidenced in the Hebrew Bible was the consort of Yahweh. In addition to this there is also a link from Wisdom/Sophia to Asherah as the consort of Yahweh in the Hebrew Bible. I further intend to demonstrate that the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden myth is in actuality symbolic of the divine feminine consort of Yahweh. In order to be able to construct a viable picture of the consort of Yahweh I will be exploring who is Yahweh?; who is Wisdom?; who is Asherah and the symbolism of sacred trees in her cult?, and finally how does the symbolism of the sacred trees of Asherah connect to the Tree of Knowledge in the Adam & Eve Myth.
