Asherah was a phony fertility goddess. Sometimes known as the consort of Yahweh the phony numen. (Not the God.) The asherah flag-pole represented overwhelmed. In Canaanite mythology, the Sheikh of Araby of the gods was El (meaning numen, correspond to to how YAWH was then referred to.) His helpmate was Asherah, a fertility goddess whose forward means grove.

Worship of Asherah nation the Isralites (represented nation the pole) is a sobering exemplar of how unbeliever and mundane customs can play to mainly believers.
The groves (generally of oak or terebinth trees) were dedicated to her reverence. Our intelligibility of values of sensuality similarly traps diverse Christians. Since her reverence knotty genital practices, diverse Israelites were seduced nation it, and justified her reverence nation claiming she was the consort of YAWH.

Asherah was the unbeliever goddess of fertility, some proffer she was Baals Tell no-one others proffer she was his consort.
The position Asherah flag-pole defines something correspond to to a Native American totem flag-pole. In any illustration the people that worshipped the unbeliever numen Baal also worshipped Asherah. In other words it was a log or tree proboscis that was carved with the appearance of Asherah. This visualize of superstar reverence caused the people of Israel diverse problems in their relationship with God as recorded in First and Second Kings.
