Researchers have concluded that the ancient Hebrews worshipped not only Yahweh, but also His wife, Asherah, who was a powerful fertility goddess. She is referenced in the Old Testament.
My personal religious studies have led me to conclude that all religions stem from something much older and more primal, and that they all have much more in common than they would like to admit - more that it's different interpretations of the same old themes. For that reason, this article both failed to surprise me and put a bit of a smile on my face!
