What was God's wife's name?
One View:Asherah was God's wife. or consort. After the first diaspora, when the Jews returned to Israel after being expelled in approximately 585 BC, the priests in the Hebrew Pantheon decided on a monotheistic religion. In other words, there should be only one God. All of the ancient gods were banished, including Asherah. Her name has been variously translated into English as "unending" or "she who walks in the sea". Mention can be found of her in ancient Akkadian and Hittite writings.Another View:Judaism has always been a monotheistic religion. Long before the captivity Israel worshiped one God:Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.2Kings 19:19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I pray, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the LORD God, You alone."Asherah was the name of a goddess whose worship was widely spread throughout Syria and Canaan. In Canaanite religion Asherah was the wife of the war-god Asir, the national god of Assyria. Asherah also referred to idols, some people say Asherah refers to the idols and Ashtoreth to the goddess. When Israel turned away from God and had fallen into idolatry they worshiped the gods of the nations around them, Baal, Ashtoreth. After a remnant of Israel returned from captivity they worshiped one God and were zealous in worshiping one God, until again they fell into idolatry.

Does Yahweh the Creator have a female consort?
AnswerYes, God once had a female consort, the goddess Asherah. Archeological evidence of this is in inscriptions found in ancient Israel and Judah during the Hebrew period, as well as the presence of numerous figurines of Asherah found in the same areas. The worship of Asherah seems to have ceased during the Babylonian Exile, when the veneration of Lady Wisdom (Sophia) seems to have begun. One two storage jars found at Kuntillet Ajrud contains a dedicatory inscription that reads, in part, "I bless you by Yahweh, our guardian, and by his Asherah." A second jar at the same site also contains a script that includes, "Amaryau says: Say to my lord X: I bless you by Yahweh [our guardian], and by his Asherah." Another artefact associated with the Makkedah site says, "Blessed be Uriyahu by Yahweh and by his asherah; from his enemies he saved him!" or possibly, "May Uriyahu be blessed by Yahweh my guardian and by his Asherah. Save him."

What is the asherah pole mentioned in the Old Testament?
Until the Ugaritic tablets were deciphered from the 1930s onwards, most scholars did not even imagine that the biblical "asherahs" might symbolise a goddess. They interpreted "the asherahs" as either wooden poles, cult objects from Baal worship, or groves of trees. Very few linked "the asherahs" to a goddess found in passages such as I Kings 18, in which "prophets of Asherah" served Queen Jezebel. The first detailed study of Asherah in the Hebrew Bible after the Ugaritic discoveries concluded that "the asherah" represented both a wooden cult object and a goddess. It is now evident that Asherah was the Hebrew fertility goddess. Numerous small statuettes of an erotically pregnant female have been found all over Israel and identified with Asherah. Inscriptions have even been found at two different sites, describing Asherah as the consort of Yahweh (God). The "asherahs" were usually upright wooden objects, often standing beside altars, and in at least eight instances they are described as carved. So it seems they were not merely wooden poles, but probably quite large carved images. According to the Bible, an image of Asherah stood in the Temple in Jerusalem for about two-thirds of its existence.
