Asherah
From Conservapedia
The Bible frequently references Asherah in passages such as 1 Kings 15:13
He even deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
There is some debate about whether Asherah was the name of a goddess or whether "asherah" was simply a title for a particular type of cultic image (the tree/pole). Some passages from the Bible seem to suggest that Asherah was a goddess of some kind, associated with Baal as found in 1 Kings 18:19:
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.
Asherah was also the name of a Syrian goddess, the consort of one of the Baals, 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.
