What does the Semitic deity YHWY do for these days, 2600 years after his 'divorce'?

A vast amount of archaeological evidence in Israel & Jordan prove beyond all doubt that until about 600BCE, Jews worshiped the fertility Goddess Ashera as the wife of YHWH. The holy couple were supposed to have had up to 70 children. Nearly all of the OT was written after 600BCE and the Older stuff was extensively rewritten then. As the theological vogue had switched to monotheism then (Persian Influences after they rescued the Jewish religious hierarchy (Ezra & co) from Babylon) Ashera got written out of the OT, YHWH 'divorced' her and presumably abandoned his brood. It should be noted that the aforementioned 6th century OT rewrite is referred to in Jewish history.
