Asherah poles

In an ancient method of sacrificial killing, the priests placed the sacrificial king in a Birchwood box and suspended it between two tall poles (Asherah poles).Allowed three loaves, one for each aspect of the deity or the Triple Goddess, he remained suspended at God s mercy, between heaven and earth, until he decayed and his remains blew away. [Pg.118]

Canaanite Ugaritic texts from the fourteenth century BCE call the two pillars cutter-twins. They are the Asherah poles called Shacharu and Shalim, meaning integration and completion respectively." These two pillars support the deathly net of Asherah, the most ancient of all mother goddesses. [Pg.120]
