Astarte: The She-Wolf and Her Qedeshas

By Qadishtu-Arishutba'al Immi'atiratu

The Qedeshas were the female attendants who served the goddess of love and fertility, Astarte, in her temples.

Astarte was one of the most revered goddesses in the Ugaritic pantheon, and her cult was widespread throughout the ancient world.

Astarte was known by different names in different cultures, such as Ishtar in Mesopotamia, and Aphrodite in Greece.

She was associated with sexuality, love, and fertility, and her worship involved elaborate rituals that often included sexual symbols and acts.

The role of the Qedeshas was to participate in these rituals and offer themselves to the goddess and her devotees as symbols of fertility and abundance.
