Asherah

Great goddess in ancient Semitic religion. She also appears in Hittite writings as Ašerdu. Her name was Aṯeratum to the Amorites, and Athiratu in Ugarit. Many scholars hold that Yahweh and Asherah were a consort pair in ancient Israel and Judah, although others disagree.

Beside the obvious connections between goddesses who sometimes cannot be distinguished, some scholars have found an early link between Asherah and Eve, based upon the coincidence of their common title as "the mother of all living" in Genesis 3:20 through the identification with the Hurrian mother goddess, Hebat. Olyan says Eve (hawwa) is an attested epithet of Tannit/Asherah in the first millennium BCE. Hebrew chwwh is related to Aramaic chwyh and Phoenician chwt "snake". A more Phoenician pronunciation Ḥawwat is Eve in the Punica tabella defixionis.

There is further speculation that the Shekhinah as a feminine aspect of Yahweh may be a cultural memory or devolution of Asherah. Another such aspect is seen in the feminine (grammatically or otherwise) treatment of the Holy Spirit or Sophia. Goddess "aspect creep" can even lap upon male figures like Jacob or Jesus.

A-sa-sa-ra, the Minoan snake goddess's name, is the only word deciphered of Linear A. DNA from the Southern Levant made it to Crete. The emigres influenced island cream ware. Maybe they influenced the Minoan taste for ambiguity.

Several of these pendants employ a metonymic representation in which limited parts of the goddess (ie head, breasts, and pubic triangle stand for the whole.

Vaginal symbols are often used in goddess art. The ubiquitous pubic triangle indicates Asherah and depicts hair. Pubic hair and fertility itself are often indicated by concentrations of dots. Sometimes a triangle is portrayed polysemically as a grape cluster or the yoni shape as the wings of a soaring eagle. See photo with gold jewelry. Some call it omega: "It is possible that the Ω... symbolized the womb."
