The Consort of Yahweh
     The first hint that Yahweh originally had a companion goddess is found in Genesis 1:26 and again in Genesis 3:22.  From there, we can procede to the book of Proverbs, which metaphorically personafies "wisdom" as a woman. Various translators seem to have been familiar with her, and have attempted to edit her out, changing text to read "asherah pole" or even simply "grove".  So we have to turn to Biblical scholars and theologians to find the goddess of the Bible.
     As it turns out, the goddess in question was Asherah, a Canaanite fertility goddess. Apparently, the early Yahweh possessed Asherah as a consort.  Inscriptions at Kuntillet Ajrud and Khirbet el-Qom refer to "Yahweh and his Asherah".   Asherah's symbol, a stylized wooden tree, corresponds to Proverbs 3:18 saying that wisdom is the tree of life.
     From the Ugaritic cuneiform finds, we discover that "wisdom's" banquet invitation found in proverbs 9 is lifted directly from Asherah's banquet in the myth of Baal.
