Point one is not especially relevant to my series, However, there was a Biblical basis, until some later editor changed the text. Yahweh's consort was known as Asherah. An early version of Deuteronomy 33.2-3 reads: “YHWH came from Sinai and shone forth.... at his right hand his own Asherah”. This has been changed to “...at his right, a host of his own”. There may now be no reference in the Bible because of censorship, but there is plenty of archaeological evidence. There was an ancient blessing found at many sites which reads: “I have blessed you by Yahweh....and his Asherah.”
You did indeed previously interpret Genesis 1:27. I thought you did this in such a way as to avoid the obvious meaning of the text.
