About this listen

They-dies and gentle-thems! In this episode there is an addition to the roster of show characters and Patreon tiers! Asherah is a sea (sometimes sun (always mommy)) goddess written about in the Ugaritic texts. Her cult has been revived by Cee (who has a history of drowning fools apparently) and she is El's ex-wife and provides much needed context for Yahweh's subsequent hatred of Baals. This episode covers who she was, a coming out of the closet for a man hating feminist, and also Cee clarifies what she means when she has a soaking wet body count (because of the drowning).
