The Book of Isaiah

Chapter 1 V.1 Part 3.3 Asherah 2

(Bear in mind…I’m still digging under the reference of Isaiah 1:1 at this time, and what is following is the result of that search, but fair warning…it’s a vast amount of information and is quite complex. Also bear in mind that the deities presented here are only presented to give clarity to the same false goddess and to demonstrate the origins of that theology and the various cultures, forms and names of this false deity under this theology. Note the similarities in some of the names. Satan is the king of the counterfeit.)

This theological system which began in the Delta, at Heliopolis and is called the Heliopolitan Theological System not far from the head of the Delta, was very well accepted because Atum could easily be made chief god in a local area, or a local goddess could become his consort, which eventually increased the Egyptian pantheon.

The pantheon was conceived as a divine family, headed by the supreme god El; the gods collectively made up the Elohim:

·         Anat, Goddess of War and Strife, wife and sister of Ba’al Hadad

·         Asherah walker of the sea, Mother Goddess, wife of El (also known as Elat)

·         Astarte, possibly androgynous divinity associated with Venus

·         Baalat or Baalit, the wife or female counterpart of Baal (also Belili)

·         Ba’al Hadad, storm God, superseded El as head of the Pantheon

·         Baal-Hammon, god of fertility and renewer of all energies in the Phoenician colonies of the Western Mediterranean

·         Dagon, god of crop fertility.

·         El Elyon (i.e. God most high) and El

·         Eshmun or Baalat Asclepius, god of healing

·         Kotharat

·         Kathirat, goddesses of marriage and pregnancy

·         Kothar, Hasis, the skilled, god of craftsmanship

·         Lotan, serpent ally of Yam

·         Melqart, king of the city, the underworld and cycle of vegetation in Tyre

·         Moloch, “king” of child sacrifices

·         Mot, God of Death

·         Qadeshtu, Holy One, Goddess of Love

·         Resheph God of Plague and healing

·         Shalim and Shachar

·         Shamayim, the God of the Heavens.

·         Shemesh

·         Tehwom, Goddess of the “Deeps”

·         Yam-nahar or Yam, also called Judge Nahar

·         Yarikh God of the moon

·         Zedek

Astarte was connected with fertility, sexuality, and war. Her symbols were the lion, the horse, the sphinx, the dove, and a star within a circle indicating the planet Venus. Pictorial representations often show her naked.

The star within a circle is a hexagon, which is used in Baal worship and witchcraft.

Astarte was accepted by the Greeks under the name of Aphrodite. The island of Cyprus, one of Astarte’s greatest faith centers, supplied the name Cypris as Aphrodite’s most common byname. Other major centers of Astarte’s worship were Sidon, Tyre, and Byblos.

Occasionally a ruler in Judah or Israel would bring some Canaanite goddess back into the temple or town shrines and an Israelite equivalent of Astarte, Qadesh, or Hathor.

One interesting manifestation of what was deemed the female divine power continued to accompany the Israelites; this was the “Ashrah,” a wooden “fertility pole,” also believed to be Hathor who was also a tree-goddess.

This bit on the pantheons came from wikipedia. Note some of the biblical names of God (El/Elohim) being used by this sect in whole or in part. This is to assert the claim that we are all worshiping the same god which is a false claim.
