Asherah

Asherah, formelry known as Turiel, is mother goddess of the Canaanite pantheon.
== Character summary ==
Lady Asherah of the Sea. The goddess of Tyre up north. When she rescues Ba’al from the sea and nurtures him back to health, the two of them conspire together to take back the land of Canaan from Dagon, chief god of the Philistines. Because she is the “wife of El” the high god, she has the respect as matron of the gods. As goddess of fertility, she and her prostitutes have gained a foothold of control in Israel since the Israelites worship her as female escort to their god, Yahweh. This idolatry is not acceptable to Yahweh, but empowers Asherah to move about freely in Israel. She even has an ally in Michal, daughter of King Saul, and first wife of King David.Asherah
