I just remembered God used to have a wife (Asherah) in the old testament back when people were just starting to figure out monotheistic religions so she could probably show up in Hazbin (probably as a demon because I hc if she does show up, it would be after God went around and said "im the only god here, no other gods than me" and sent down his old friends to hell as a way of saying "fuck you, im in charge, later losers")

I got a new name and now you have to hear about it
So my middle name is Asherah, Asherah is the Babylon goddess of war as well as the wife of god
In the Bible she’s referred to as “the grove” (because people don’t like that god had a wife and so when translating it they call her the grove) BUT ANYWAY, asherah is our middle name, but I identify with that middle name (because I’m the one who mostly lived out our childhood I guess) but I was like “ya know this should just be my name” so now my names Grove or Autumn-Rose
Thank you for coming to my rant

So I just found out that God may actually have a wife in the original scripture….
Does this mean that Charlie might actually have a grandma in the show and get to meet her??? Probably not but I’m making headcanons about it anyway

This morning at 4am Astaroth came to me with a message.
As we journey through darkness we can often lose our way. Though bright and brilliant, the light of Eosphoros can sometimes be lost when we wander without direction. But do not stop wandering and yearning for knowledge, do not step backwards into familiarity, the darkness is your friend now. Walk confidently and know that Astaroth will find you and guide you back to the light. If ever you look and cannot find the light, know that Astaroth is there with you in the darkness, waiting to take your hand and guide you whenever you are ready to ask. You are never lost with him by your side.
Thank you Astaroth, my dear friend. 🌟

“I,” said a voice—“I am Desire. In Greece I am revered, and there I am Aphrodite. In Italy I am Venus; in Egypt, Hathor; in Armenia, Anaitis; in Persia, Anâhita; Tanit in Carthage; Baaltis in Byblus; Derceto in Ascalon; Atargatis in Hierapolis; Bilet in Babylon; Ashtaroth to the Sidonians; and Aschera in the glades of Judæa. And everywhere I am worshipped, and everywhere I am Love. I bring joy and torture, delight and pain. I appease and appal. It is I that create and undo. It is I that make heaven and people hell. I am the mistress of the world. Without me time would cease to be. I am the germ of stars, the essence of things. I am all that is, will be, and has been, and my robe no mortal has raised. I breathe, and nations are; in my parturitions are planets; my home is space. My lips are blissfuller than any bloom of bliss; my arms the opening gates of life. The Infinite is mine. Mary, come with me, and you shall measure it.”
--Edgar Saltus, "Mary Magdalen"

Asherah, the original mother goddess of the early Semitic mythos. She was the wife of the supreme god El. Asherah birthed the Canaanite pantheon, from Baal and Astarte to Yam and Mot, all of them were born from her union with El. Asherah’s origins are unknown, however it’s believed that she was the feminine aspect of El. In one of the few surviving myths, Asherah is shown as Yam’s biggest supporter for the throne of the chief god. Her epithet of ‘Asherah of the sea’ illustrates just how important their relationship was. Despite her support, Yam ultimately loses to Baal for the throne. Asherah in modern abrahamic faiths was reduced to a false idol, with her ‘poles’ being targeted and destroyed.
Asherah is the earliest depiction of the Mother Goddess trope, with her role in Canaan being so influential it affected the religious landscape. The Mother Goddesses became a ubiquitous feature among polytheistic religions, to the point where the absence of one is something to note. Though her name was demonized in modern times, her essence still lives on in her descendants faiths. As Eve from the garden of Eden is proposed to be derived of Asherah. As El was the predecessor of the Abrahamic God, Asherah’s relationship to the omnipotent deity has become a focal point for her. Her legacy may even live on in the feminine aspect of modern god: Shekinah, and the gnostic Aeon: Sophia.

Thought I might as well take another stab at the Angels and Demons comic. As you can see, we've got Lucifer standing in the middle, his Mother Asherah on the left, and Luzbel on the right. Also, Asherah's sigil is a triquetra, and in pagan mythology, it represents a mother goddess figure (which is pretty fitting for Her, if you ask me).

Ash and Law Relationship 2
Tumblr media
💛 Who is the Cuddler 💛 Both are but Ash is the cuddler, she is unaware and only person who is aware of it is those who share the bed with her. Law would wrap her up in blankets in the bed they share and hold her close when she is asleep while she clings to him. Alone those two are touch starved and will cuddle on the couch or bed, Ash humming a soft tune from the north while Law traces small circles on her back. When surrounded by people both can sense when the other needs a simple touch, a brush of a hand, or standing close to one another till in private where they let their walls down and hug one another clearing their minds from all the trouble and fears they have, then acting nothing had happened.
💛Who makes the bed 💛 Neither, Law will from time to time fix the bed but he usually gets up and leaves the bed and one of his crew usually Bepo would come and fix the bed for him for the night. Or sleeping on the couch or at his desk leaving his bed untouched. He does fix his bed with new sheets when needed. He got into a better habit of sleeping on the bed when Ash joins him in his room but still, both are bad at fixing the bed.
💛Who wakes up first 💛 Law, suffering from insomnia would usually wake up long before Ash. He will say in bed holding her in his arms taking her warmth, listening to her steading her breathing as he gets himself ready for the day. His mind running through what he had to do all the information he gathered during the day, his fingers running through Ash’s hair. Eventually, he will leave the bed and start his long day of work leaving Ash to sleep
💛Who has the weirdest taste of music 💛 I think both do. Law listen’s to mostly jazz in the background while working sometimes he will listen to an unknown band he found in his travel he claims has a unique taste. He will sometimes ask Ash her opinion on the music to better understand it. Ash's weird taste comes from basically a mix match of styles while she can listen to almost anything. She mostly listens to symphonies/orchestras. Her guilty pleasure is K-pop, mostly boy bands. She will deny her interest but she can go into small details about the boys and their interests and what the music means
💛Who is more protective 💛 Law is more protective of Ash, he finds her secret treasure he has to protect. He already lost so many loved ones in his life and wishes to protect the ones he cares deeply about. Ash doesn’t have a Devil Fruit and still learning some observation Haki and hasn’t mastered it. While she is good at fighting and handling herself (Getting in and out of trouble) there are still powerful people on the Grandline and he will only know she is safe if she joins his crew. There is also a deeper issue that Ash is more willing to self-sacrifice herself to help innocent people who cannot fight for themselves, particularly young children as they remind her of her siblings. Ash has a very twisted and broken view believing she would be forgiven if she gave up her life for someone else, for failing to protect her older sister. She is willing to throw herself in the line of fire for someone else if it calls for it. She will act like she doesn’t and will hold back as much as she can. The Heart Pirates caught on that Ash is someone that needs protection knowing their captain would want her safe, as they also grew attached to her.
💛 Who sings in the Shower 💛 I think it is obvious, Ash does. She sings old lullabies or old songs that were popular in the North Blue before she departed. Or she would hum a new tune she is composing trying to figure out the notes that she had been trying to piece together. Ash often will hum or sing to herself deep in thought.
💛Who cries during movies 💛 Probably Ash. She would cry at deep emotional scenes she can relate to or she got attached to the character who is hurt. It is the main reason why she doesn’t wear massacre when it is movie night and likes watching movies in the dark so no one can see her cry. The Heart Pirates have learned to “ignore” her tears. And Bepo or Law wrapping their arms around her, in silent comfort.
💛Who spends the most when shopping 💛 Probably Ash again, Law only shops for necessary items, occasionally he would splurge on his hoppy of coin collecting, while Ash would use shopping to get out of work or skip on her responsibility. She is irresponsible with money buying accessories she finds cute or outfits she likes. She would even spend money on new instruments she wants to learn to play only to sell on the next island as the Polar Tang wouldn’t have enough room. Once in blue moon would she buy a small souvenir from a shop that reminds her of her sibling. Or something she saw that would remind her of Law or something Law would like.
💛Who kisses more roughly 💛 Law, pent-up emotions from not touching her for a long time or holding her, he will wrap an arm around her waist and tilt her chin, so she was looking at him and capture her lips and tasting her. He would start off softly before becoming a little rough, her body curving into his. Ash will follow suit wrapping her arms around him and tangling her fingers in his hair. Both are touch starved and craving one another’s attention.
💛Who is more dominate 💛 Law is, both in the bed and out. He knows how to get Ash in control and have her listen to him and not cause as much trouble. He got better at reading the signs when she is bored or distressed, even reading the subtle hints of her emotions she will try to hide and have her open to him. In bed, Law is, Ash while not shy about sex is still inexperienced due to her failed love life. He once again learned to read her emotions in bed stopping where she is starting to feel uncomfortable.
💛Gets jealous the most 💛 Both do, Ash is a very attractive female and does catch the eyes of a few men. While most men will avoid her due to her own personality being standoffish and rude, while also pushing people away. A few men do feel brave enough to talk to her and flirt and will have Law watching carefully from the corner of his eyes for signs of Ash’s discomfort. But he will step in after a while after all he treasures Ash and being a pirate, he isn’t keen on sharing her heart or her. He will be a bit more physical with her wrapping an arm around her shoulder and ignoring the guy while talking to her or a crewmate. If the guy doesn’t get the message, will he glare at the guy scaring him off. Ash just glares and pouts at any female that approaches Law (There are a lot) but instead of fighting them off will try to rationalize with herself that Law should be with X female because she would be a better match and look better together. And remind herself Law is out of her league and isn’t interested in her. She will pout till she sees Law refusing any advances and will hide a smile in her hand, cheering the little victory. When both have shared their feelings, she will glare at the female and hold Law’s hand before quickly letting go but he will squeeze her hand gently.
💛 Other headcanon I have 💛 Law likes to hear Ash sing and is the only one that gets to hear her sing soft songs without much persuading. While Ash says she hates to sing she will sing to Law soft lullabies at night. Law also finds comfort with Ash practicing her music, he really likes her playing the violin or piano, as it helps him focus better. He has a keyboard in his office for when she wants to play the piano instead.
💛Nicknames 💛 Ash when first meeting Law and was scared of getting attached or close to him would often call Law the wrong name to distance herself from him. Also for him to understand there is a distance between them. But after it got harder to act like she didn’t know his name as they were forming a bond and got closer. She will call him “Lawrence” from time to time just to annoy him. Ash is a nickname she already goes by. Law only calls her Asherah if she is in trouble or he is worried about her. Before he would call her Ash-ya but after being corrected so many times (by her) and having grown attached to her he dropped the Ya. Both are unaware of the change only his crew and people who know Law’s speech pattern have caught on to the change.
