I have been reading the bible!
*gasp of astonishment
It seems that in the long ago the ancient Canaanite religions worshipped at high places of sacrifice.
These were on hilltops near town. And, from the descriptions in the bible included trees, pillars and poles. The poles are sometimes called Asherah poles, and are images of the goddess asherah.
During certain periods the Temple of Solomon in ancient Jerusalem was kitted out with asherahs, pillar and poles.
People seem to have had small asherah figures for home worship.
One of the best preserved of these ancient temples is The High Place of Sacrifice, at Petra
So. In the long ago Asherahs were a thing.
Do they still exist?
Maybe the masons know about it
Perhaps this is one in the Tarot.
And oh!!! The vatican has a whole one!!!
Look at those 'high place' mountains in the background!!!
Anyone else seen an Asherah???
