Rediscovering the Forgotten Mother ASHERAH (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196189319)

She was not erased; she was covered over and what was covered can be heard again. For millennia, a name was spoken in blessing and then silenced. Asherah - goddess, sacred tree, relational presence appears in the Bible primarily as a warning: cut her down, burn her poles and forget her name. Yet the very urgency of those commands tells another story. Drawing on archaeology, biblical scholarship and feminist theology, this book traces what happened when a goddess associated with embodiment, fertility and the earth was deemed incompatible with centralised monotheism. Her name was removed but her functions endured. In the nurturing shepherd of Psalm 23, the Wisdom who builds her house and calls from the streets and the Shekinah who accompanies exile, she remained. Renamed and distributed but never entirely absent. Part historical inquiry, theopoetic meditation, and personal reckoning, this is a book for those who have felt a hollow at the heart of inherited faith. To remember Asherah is not to reject the tradition but to member the Mother.
