Zilpah is the mother of the tribes of Gad and Asher, both peoples which were to become part of Israel, but who were nations in their own right. Her last son, Asher, is named for the Mother Goddess herself of which Zilpah was a priestess. We turn to her as High Priestess and Bear Mother of all our rituals. Among the daughters of Zilpah is Anna the prophetess of the Tribe of Asher who blessed Christ when Mary and Joseph brought him into the Temple.
