Jeremiah, who was a monotheist and blamed all the troubles of the Jews on the worship of other gods, was incensed when he arrived in Egypt, to find the Jews worshipping a 'Queen of Heaven'. These diaspora Jews had been living in relative isolation for centuries, unaware of the religious changes that had occurred in Judah during their absence.
The ancient Israelites had worshipped several goddesses, each of which could be the goddess in question here. When scholars learnt that Asherah had probably been the chief goddess of the Hebrew people, she was thought to be the most likely 'Queen of Heaven'. A more recent view is that the Queen of Heaven in the Book of Jeremiah may refer either to Astarte, the only West Semitic goddess bearing this title during the Iron Age, or to Ishtar (or possibly some combination of the two).
