'''Asyera''' ({{IPAc-en|icon|ˈ|æ|ʃ|ə|r|ə}}; [[Ugaritic language|Ugaritic]]: 𐎀𐎘𐎗𐎚: ''''ṯrt'''; {{lang-he|אֲשֵׁרָה}}; {{lang-en|Asherah}}) adalah nama dewi penduduk asli tanah [[Kanaan]] yang menjamin kesuburan. Lambangnya ialah pohon yang rimbun atau suatu "tiang berhala" yang oleh para nabi [[Israel]] ditentang keras ({{Ayat|buku=Ulangan|pasal=16|ayat=21}}, {{Ayat|buku=2 Raja-raja|pasal=23|ayat=4|sampaiayat=6}}). Dalam mitologi [[Semitik]] merupakan "dewi ibu" (''mother goddess''), yang muncul dalam sejumlah sumber kuno termasuk tulisan [[bahasa Akkadia]] dengan nama '''Ashratum''' atau '''Ashratu''' dan dalam budaya Het atau Hitit sebagai '''Asherdu(s)''', '''Ashertu(s)''', '''Aserdu(s)''' atau '''Asertu(s)'''. Asyera juga dianggap sama dengan dewi [[Ugarit]] '''Athirat''' (lebih tepatnya ditulis '''{{Unicode|ʼAṯirat}}''').

Dipuja sebagai istri [[Baal]]. Selain itu juga diidentifikasi sebagai istri atau ratu dari dewa [[Sumeria]], [[Anu]], atau dewa Ugarit, "[[El]]", dewa tertua di kumpulan dewa-dewa mereka.{{sfn|OCWM|2000|pp=32}}<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=kQFtlva3HaYC&lpg=PA32&dq=Athirat%20wife%20of%20Anu&pg=PA32#v=onepage&q=Athirat%20wife%20of%20Anu&f=false ''Oxford Companion to World Mythology'', p.32]</ref> Peran ini memberi Asyera kedudukan tinggi di kalangan para dewa Ugarit.<ref>{{harvnb|Binger|1997|p=74}}</ref> Nama [[Allat]] (Elat, Ilat) dalam [[Sanchuniathon]] jelas berkaitan dengan Asyera, karena julukan yang sama "dewi paling gemilang" (''the goddess par excellence''), yang diberikan kepadanya.<ref>{{citation | last=Olyan | first=Saul M. | year=1988 | title=Asherah and the cult of Yahweh in Israel | publisher=Scholars Press | isbn=9781555402549 |page=79}}</ref> [[Kitab Yeremia]] yang ditulis sekitar tahun 628 SM tampaknya mengacu kepada Asyera ketika menggunakan julukan "Ratu Surga" ("''Queen of Heaven''", {{lang-he|לִמְלֶכֶת הַשָּׁמַיִם}}) dalam {{Alkitab|Yeremia 7:18}} dan {{Alkitab|Yeremia 44:17–19, 25}}.<ref>{{citation | editor1-last=Stavrakopoulou | editor1-first=Francesca | year=2010 | title=Religious Diversity in Ancient Israel and Judah | editor2-last=Barton | editor2-first=John | edition=reprint | publisher=Continuum International Publishing Group | isbn=9780567032164 | chapter=Personal piety |first=Albertz |last=Rainer | pages=135–146 (at 143)}}</ref>

== Di Ugarit ==
Dalam teks Ugarit (sebelum [[1200 SM]]) Athirat hampir selalu diikuti oleh gelar penuhnya ''rbt {{Unicode|ʼaṯrt}} ym'', ''rabat {{Unicode|ʼAṯirat}} yammi'', 'Dewi Athirat dari Laut' atau diterjemahkan lebih lengkap 'Wanita yang menenun di atas laut', (Ugaritic: 𐎗𐎁𐎚 𐎀𐎘𐎗𐎚 𐎊𐎎 ) Nama ini muncul 12 kali di Epik [[Ba'al]] saja.<ref name=autogenerated1971>{{citation |last=Gibson |first=J C L |year=1978 |title=Canaanite myths and legends |last2=Driver |first2=G R |publisher=T. & T. Clark |isbn=9780567023513}}</ref> Diyakini bahwa nama ini berasal dari akar kata Ugarit ''{{Unicode|ʼaṯr}}'' 'perselisihan' yang seiring dengan akar kata Ibrani ''{{Unicode|ʼšr}}'' dengan makna yang sama.

Her other main divine epithet was "qaniyatu ʾilhm" (Ugaritic: 𐎖𐎐𐎊𐎚 𐎛𐎍𐎎: qnyt ʾlm) which may be translated as "the creatrix of the gods (Elohim)".<ref name=autogenerated1971/>
In those texts, Athirat is the consort of the god [[El (god)|El]]; there is one reference to the 70 sons of Athirat, presumably the same as the 70 sons of El. She is clearly distinguished from [[Ashtart|{{Unicode|ʿAshtart}}]] (better known in English as Astarte or Ashtoreth in the Bible) in the Ugaritic documents although in non-Ugaritic sources from later periods the distinction between the two goddesses can be blurred; either as a result of scribal error or through possible [[syncretism]]. In any case, the two names begin with different consonants in the Semitic languages; Athirat/Asherah (Ugaritic: 𐎀𐎘𐎗𐎚: aṯrt) with an ''aleph'' or [[glottal stop]] consonant א and `Ashtart/`Ashtoreth (Ugaritic: 𐎓𐎘𐎚𐎗𐎚: ʿṯtrt) with an ''`ayin'' or voiced [[pharyngeal consonant|pharyngeal]] consonant ע), indicating the lack of any plausible etymological connection between the names.
She is also called '''Elat''' (Ugaritic: 𐎛𐎍𐎚: ilt) ("Goddess", the feminine form of El; compare Allat) and '''Qodesh''' 'Holiness' (Ugaritic: 𐎖𐎄𐎌: qdš). Athirat in Akkadian texts appears as Ashratum (Antu), the wife of Anu, the god of heaven. In contrast, Ashtart is believed to be linked to the [[Mesopotamian religion|Mesopotamian]] Goddess [[Ishtar]] who is sometimes portrayed as the daughter of Anu while in Ugaritic myth, Ashtart is one of the daughters of El, the West Semitic counterpart of Anu.
Among the Hittites this goddess appears as Asherdu(s) or Asertu(s), the consort of Elkunirsa (from the Ugaritic title, El-qan-arsha: "El the Creator of Earth") and mother of either 77 or 88 sons.
Among the [[Amarna letters]] a king of the [[Amorites]] is named [[Abdi-Ashirta]], "Servant of Asherah".<ref>Noted by Raphael Patai, "The Goddess Asherah", ''Journal of Near Eastern Studies'' '''24'''.1/2 (1965:37–52) p. 39.</ref>
== Di Mesir ==
Di [[Mesir kuno|Mesir]], beginning in the 18th dynasty, a Semitic goddess named [[Qudshu]] ('Holiness') begins to appear prominently, equated with the native Egyptian goddess [[Hathor]]. Some think this is Athirat/Ashratu under her Ugaritic name Qodesh. This Qudshu seems not to be either {{Unicode|ʿAshtart}} or {{Unicode|ʿAnat}} as both those goddesses appear under their own names and with quite different iconography and appear in at least one pictorial representation along with Qudshu.
But in the [[Persian Empire|Persian]], [[Hellenistic]], and [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] periods in Egypt there was a strong tendency towards syncretism of goddesses and Athirat/Ashrtum then seems to have disappeared, at least as a prominent goddess under a recognizable name.

==Ashira in Arabia==
A stele, now at the [[Louvre]], discovered by Charles Huber in 1883 in the ancient oasis of Tema (modern [[Tayma]] – {{lang-ar|تيماء}}), northwestern Arabia, and believed to date to the time of [[Nabonidus]]'s retirement there in 549 BC, bears an inscription in [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]] which mentions {{Unicode|Ṣalm}} of {{Unicode|Maḥram}} and Shingala and Ashira as the gods of Tema.
This Ashira might be Athirat/Asherah. Since Aramaic has no way to indicate Arabic ''th'', corresponding to the Ugaritic ''th'' (phonetically written as ''{{Unicode|ṯ}}''), if this is the same deity, it is not clear whether the name would be an Arabian reflex of the Ugaritic ''Athirat'' or a later borrowing of the Hebrew/[[Canaanite languages|Canaanite]] ''Asherah''.<ref>Baruch Margalit, "The Meaning and Significance of Asherah," ''Vetus Testamentum'' 40 (July 1990): 264-97.</ref>
The Arabic root ''{{Unicode|ʼṯr}}'' is similar in meaning to the Hebrew indicating "to tread" used as a basis to explain the name of Ashira as "Lady of the sea", specially that the Arabic root ''ymm'' also means "sea".<ref>Lucy Goodison and Christine Morris, ''Ancient Goddesses: Myths and Evidence'' (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1998), 79.</ref>
