Special Guest Blogger: Goddess Asherah

Men! Bah! I was the Mother Goddess and wife of God when he was going under the name of Yahweh and together we had seventy-seven god children, or was it eighty-eight? Whatever, we had so many that I lose count but as no-one has heard of most of them, it probably doesn’t matter anyway.
Back then I was known as 'She Who Walks Upon The Sea' which was weird because i never but anyway, i was held in very high esteem by my many worshipers who erected many wooden pillars and statues in my honor, so many that my husband, being a man, felt a little threatened by his woman.
We were ruling side by side as a divine man and wife but hardly anyone remembers me so what happened you may ask? Obviously, men happened.
I was not only edited out of the Holy texts such as the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament when the Christians began taking bits and pieces for their own religion, but they started referring to me as a sacred tree in an effort to hide me although references to me did have to be edited out in later versions of the Bible because they missed a few references such as in Deuteronomy 33.2-3, when i was said to be 'at his right hand'.
After being written out of the Christian Bible, to kick me even further away from my ex-husband, I became morphed into a Pagan goddess and worshiping Pagans was a huge no-no and any statues to me had to be destroyed because of the whole False Idols bit of the commandments.
Obviously, today's Christians don't want to know that their top banana has an ex-wife knocking around and definitely don't want to acknowledge the 77 or 88 kids we  had together, preferring to concentrate on the one Godly offspring which was a result of making a 14 year girl who was betrothed to another pregnant because that is so much better apparently.
