	Ashtoreth (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In Canaan, Ashtoreth, as distinguished from the male 'Ashtar, dropped her warlike attributes, but in contradistinction to Asherah, whose name and cult had also been imported from Assyria, became, on the one hand, the colorless consort of Baal, and on the other hand, a moon-goddess.
		In Babylonia the moon was a god, but after the rise of the solar theology, when the larger number of the Babylonian gods were resolved into forms of the sun-god, their wives also became solar, Ishtar, "the daughter of Sin" the moon-god, remaining identified with the evening-star.
		The Philistines seem to have adopted her under her warlike form (1 Samuel 31:10 the King James Version reading "Ashtoreth," as Septuagint), but she was more usually the moon-goddess (Lucian, De Dca Syriac., 4; Herodian, v.6, 10), and was accordingly symbolized by the horns of a cow.

	Esther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Targum provides another Midrashic explanation claiming that she was as beautiful as the Evening Star, which is astara in Greek.
		Critics of the historicity of the Book of Esther attempt to derive the name from Ishtar, the pagan goddess associated with the Evening Star, although the usual Hebrew rendition of the latter name is the phonetically unrelated Ashtoreth.
		The names may nevertheless be coincidentally related, as the Semitic name Ishtar may share a common origin with Indo-European words for star.

	Penetrating Insights into the Temple Mount
		At least one archaeologist has expressed the opinion that the Mount of Destruction, to the south of which there were 'high places', was not the Mount of Olives but rather Bet Zeita, located to the north of the Antonia fortress - in the area of the present Rockfeller Museum (6).
		The name "Strato's Tower," (which preserves the name of the goddess Ashtoreth), was no longer common in the Hellenistic period, and even the Essene Yehuda did not remember this name (7).
		What was originally a high places of Ashtoreth on the Temple Mount may well have become a pentagonal tower in later times.

		I'd never been entirely happy with 'Ashtoreth Karnayim.' It's basically a joke name, and it's not entirely relevant to the image I want...
		When I had my name changed I really just wanted to be 'Ashtoreth.' But having one name creates unbelievable problems.
		I could have just filled in the last name space with 'X', but then I'd be 'Ashtoreth X,' which makes me sound like a fl activist, and while that's a fine thing to be, it isn't what I am.

		In the late ’80’s I published a critique of feminist-language liturgies in the Anglican Theological Review, appropriately titled “Ashtoreth Meets the Holy Trinity.” I thought it was a pretty cool title.
		But this liturgy actually embraces Ashtarte (or Ashtoreth in Scripture, a compound of Ashtarte and Bosheth or abomination).
		The Israelites suffered exile, loss of the Temple, foreign conquest and oppression before purifying their worship of this Abomination, and now a Church, “of Jesus Christ,” claims it as their own.

		George Van Tassel, who first channeled “Ashtar, commandant quadra sector, patrol section Schare, all projections, all waves” is the subject of much commentary, as are his successors in the Ashtar Command, such as Trevor James Constable.
		(Some Christian fundamentalists disapprove of all this, linking Ashtar to the definitely non-Christian Ashtoreth and Ishtar.) Adamski and Van Tassel both helped originate southern California’s contactee culture, which figures strongly in the two volumes.
