#17: The Hidden Goddess of the Bible with David Butler

Send us a textThis is the episode we have been waiting for.Thousands of years ago, the people in charge decided to remove this now-hidden Goddess.In this controversial but life-changing episode, Dave Butler goes into great detail to show where and how to find her in the Old Testament.Dave Butler is a scholar of history and theology-- and he uses his knowledge of Hebrew, archaeology, and historical context to create a powerful argument for the existence of the Goddess.Her name is Ashera.This is significant because the stories we believe are the basis of our cultural programming. And no other book has had more impact on Western culture than the Bible.Whether you identify as Christian or not, if you live in a westernized world-- this book affects many directions of your life.For many, the missing feminine aspect of the Divine God-family has made the feminine feel unattainable, unrelatable or even unworthy.The goal of this episode is to bring healing to that part of your heart. Timestamp:00:00Introduction to the Divine Feminine in the Bible10:54The Goddess Asherah in the Old Testament17:02Archaeological Evidence of Asherah's Presence23:07Asherah's Connection to Royalty and the Temple29:07Genesis 49: Blessings and the Divine Family35:10Cultural Symbolism and the Menorah47:44The Evolution of Israelite Beliefs55:50Wisdom and the Divine Feminine01:17:12Shaddai: The Breasted One01:33:13The Editing of Divine Narratives01:47:44Deuteronomy and Its Impact on Worship01:57:55The Role of Kings in Religious Reform02:13:14The Divine Feminine and Its ErasureConnect with us: Kayelee:https://www.ourlunation.com/Jaye Anne:https://www.courses.massiveshifts.com/ Work with me: Click here!
