• Asherah: The goddess Anne identifies as the former wife of Yahweh, connected with divine wisdom, Holy Spirit, and the tree of life before being erased from official temple religion.
• The Deuteronomists: The priestly group Anne says removed the goddess from the first temple tradition and helped create the myth of the fall.
