Asherah, often represented as a
tree, was the ruling queen of the Semitic pantheon. Her "Tree of
Knowledge" bore fruit not only to feed the body, but also to nourish the
spirit.
As the Holy Communion Goddess, she gives sacred purpose to your baking and
cooking. Worship of this Hebrew fertility goddess ensured that matrilineal
descent patterns would be protected from patriarchy.
After harvest, women molded bread loaves shaped just like this figure, which
were then blessed. This was the origin of the communion ritual we still
celebrate today.
Asherah's name means "holy place."
Invite her simple form into your kitchen and your heart. |
