Sculpted from solid ash wood and finished with varnish, every curve of her form — from her flowing robes to the sacred tree motif at her base — is shaped by hand in our workshop in Ukraine. A powerful piece for practitioners of Canaanite paganism, Wiccan earth spirituality, and collectors of ancient mythology art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAsherah (also Ashera, Athirat) was the supreme mother goddess of the ancient Canaanite pantheon — wife of El, the chief god, and mother of seventy divine children according to the Baal Cycle. Goddess of the sea, fertility, love, and motherhood, she was worshipped across the ancient Near East by Canaanites, Israelites, Hittites, and Akkadians alike. In each tradition she appears as consort to the chief deity — Baal, Yahweh, Anu — and her sacred symbol was the Asherah pole, traditionally carved from ash wood, placed beside altars as a living embodiment of her presence. She is the great nourishing force of the sea and the earth, the mother from whom all life flows.
