The deleted Goddess of Christianity

(Asangoham) Discover evidence that Christianity erased a Goddess from its origins. What if everything we think we know about biblical monotheism is incomplete?

Beloved, nurturing Goddess Asherah

Recent discoveries have shattered our understanding of ancient Israelite religion, revealing that Yahweh [Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge in Gnosticism] -- the God of the Bible -- was once worshipped alongside a divine feminine consort [his wife] named Asherah for nearly 600 years.

In 1975, archeologists discovered pottery inscriptions at Kuntillet Ajrud in the Sinai Peninsula that shouldn't exist according to traditional biblical history.

Greece's Athena (Pallas)

Written in ancient Hebrew and dating to the 8th century BCE, the inscriptions read: "I bless you by Yahweh of Samaria and by his Asherah." His Asherah. That possessive pronoun changed everything.

Additional discoveries at Khirbet el-Qom confirmed what biblical editors had tried to erase: Israel's God had a wife, and she was worshipped in Solomon's Temple itself until King Josiah violently purged her cult around 622 BCE.

But Asherah's erasure was only the beginning. This documentary explores how the divine feminine was systematically removed from Christianity across seven critical chapters:

Chapter 1: The Vanished Feminine

The Divine Feminine (Holy Goddesses)

Before Christianity, the Mediterranean ["Middle Earth" aka "Center of World"] world overflowed with goddess worship:

Isis in Egypt,
Ishtar in Mesopotamia,
Artemis in Ephesus,
Cybele in Rome.

Then something changed. As Christianity spread, the Goddess disappeared from official theology, her temples destroyed [Asherah poles chopped down], her images smashed, her names forbidden.

Chapter 2: Asherah and the Forgotten Consort of Yahweh

The Queen of Heaven before Mary

Archeological evidence from ancient Israel reveals the explosive truth: Yahweh's divine consort was worshipped for centuries before reformers violently erased her.

The Bible itself preserves evidence of her destruction. We can examine pottery shards, temple artifacts, and biblical texts to prove that monotheism wasn't always so mono. [In fact, it is clear the whole area and the Jews in particular were polytheists.]

Sophia mystical: Sophia/Wisdom (Gnosticism)

Chapter 3: Sophia and the Gnostic Christ

Perfection of Wisdom, Java

The divine feminine refused to stay buried. She resurfaces in the Hebrew Bible as Hokmah (Wisdom), speaking as God's first creation and master craftsman. In Gnostic Christianity, Sophia becomes central to cosmic drama.

Sophia (Wisdom) in Buddhism is Prajna-paramita (the "Perfection of Wisdom"): Prajnaparamita of Java

The Nag Hammadi texts discovered in 1945 show early Christian communities who understood Christ's mission as fundamentally connected to the restoration of the divine feminine.

Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom

Buddhist Prajnaparamita

The Thunder, Perfect Mind presents a feminine divine voice declaring: "I am the first and the last. I am the honored one and the scorned one. I am the whore and the holy one." #Christianity #Sophia #MaryMagdalene
