Explore the intertwined stories of Yahweh and Asherah, two significant deities who shaped the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean religious landscape. Asherah, the Fertility and Mother Goddess, and Yahweh, initially one of many gods, eventually became the central figure of monotheistic worship.
On this channel, I delve into their complex relationship, including Asherah's role as the consort of the high god El and later Yahweh, her representation in ancient texts and artifacts, and the political and religious shifts that led to suppressing her worship.
By exploring these dynamics, we can understand how patriarchal forces reshaped the divine narrative, erasing the goddess from history.
