'''Asherah''' is the name used in the [[Bible]] for either a pagan goddess or a particular type of cultic image (the tree/pole). There is some debate as to whether the term applies to both examples. According to the [[English Standard Version]], Asherah is referred to 21 times,<ref>[http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=Asherah ''Search: Asherah (ESV Bible Online)'']</ref> primarily in 1 and 2 Kings.

Asherah was a Syrian goddess, the consort of one of the [[Baal]]s, and based in Lebanon. According to texts from [[Ugarit]] she was the consort of [[El]], and the mother of seventy other gods. Thus, she was a fertility goddess. Passages such as 1 Kings 18:19 reflect this idea:

Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table. (NIV)
