Shalom Safranim--
Is there any evidence that any of you know of, of the Shekhinah being the
name of a Mesopotamian or Canaanite goddess?
I'm looking at Goddesses: A World of Myth and Magic, by Burleigh
Muten, (2003), published by Barefoot Books in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
It's a children's
As to point 2, Hebrew is the older and more inclusive word so I do not
see any reason to object to it unless the lore she cites orginates, as
far as is known, after the exile of the ten northern tribes.

Erika,
There is a new book out:
Tree of Souls: The Mythology of Judaism -- by Howard Schwartz,
I believe that it has a large section devoted to tales about the Shekhinah.
Try looking in it to find out if there are Jewish tales that support the
quote you cited.
