Description
Asherah, "She Who Walks on the Sea" was an ancient Semitic goddess of fertility, related to the worship of trees. Her cult was a major rival to male-dominated Yahweh worship, and many stone "Asherah poles" were erected and venerated. This resulted in strong condemnations of this practice and depictions of these poles being cut down and burned. The goddess was popular in pagan deviations in Israel.
