Prior to the Babylonian Exile, Jews worshipped the fertility goddess Asherah as the consort of God. There are many references to Asherah in The Bible, and archaeological finds throughout Israel and Judah attest to her role in Israelite belief. However, the Jews returned from Babylon as strong monotheists, and Asherah was no longer acceptable. We find her replaced in Judaic belief by Lady Wisdom. Wisdom was venerated in Judaism until the end of the first century CE and is even mentioned in the New Testament gospels.
