Baal

Ba'al (Hebrew בעל, Ba'l, "lord"; Greek Βήλος): title of several Canaanite deities. The word "Ba'al" can be translated as "lord", "owner", "master", or "husband", and referred to a group of deities venerated in the Levant. Some of these deities were also known under different names (e.g., the storm god Hadad of Aleppo), in which case "Ba'al" was a title; in other cases, "Ba'al" appears to have been a name. The oldest references to him are personal names from the third millennium BCE.

Asherah

Asherah, the Shekinah, consort and beloved of Yahweh. God-the-Mother.  Her sacred pillars or poles once stood right beside Yahweh's altar, embracing it.  Moses and Aaron both carried one of these Asherah "poles" as a sacred staff of power.  The Children of Israel were once dramatically healed simply by gazing at the staff with serpents suspended from it.    This symbol, the snakes and the staff, has become the modern universal symbol for doctors and healers.*  Asherah was also widely known in the Middle Eastern ancient world as a Goddess of Healing.  Then She was removed forcibly from the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures around 400 or 500 B.C.

Listen carefully, my child, to your master's precepts, and incline the ear of your heart (Prov. 4:20).

Receive willingly and carry out effectively your loving father's advice, that by the labor of obedience you may return to Him from whom you had departed by the sloth of disobedience.
