Spiritual Significance of Matriarchy

The Lunar Bull
Spiritual Significance of Matriarchy
by Pierre F. Walter

The book summarizes research of Joseph Campbell on equality between male and female and the Goddess cult that preceded our dominator religions. The research clearly shows that early matriarchy was fostering peace and respect of nature.

The Lunar Bull is a study in which I show that the present historical or psychohistorical debate about the dichotomy of matriarchy-patriarchy may be of interest for historians and psychohistorians, but has little or no meaning for the truth seeker or the one who inquires into the individual and collective unconscious, or superconsciousness.

On that level, my study demonstrates, the historical transition from matriarchy to patriarchy has not taken place. In the contrary, it appears that the intrinsic symbolism of the soul level, the content of the unconscious, the level of spiritual visions is one of the matriarchal gods and cosmic energy holders, such as the mythic or lunar bull, and the serpent.

I have spoken in this study not only from my own intellectual and intuitive mind and knowledge, but cited abundantly from sources such as Carl Gustav Jung, Joseph Campbell, and researchers on shamanism and entheogens such as Ralph Metzner, as well as reports of personal experiences with matriarchal gods and goddesses manifesting through the intake of entheogens such as Ayahuasca.
As I point out largely in this study, all this is not just mythology. The impact and vibration of our soul values permeates all living and is influencing our decisions and our policies more than any reductionist Cartesian concepts, such as moralism, child protection or the present international pursuits to fight pedophilia that render us conscious of a growing narcissism that today affects not only individuals and political leaders, but whole nations.

What we can learn from studying mythology, as this study shows, is to find solutions that are viable and durable because they are integrated in the landscape of soul, and our collective unconscious, and not just green table solutions that may appeal to our rational mind.

The present wars against perversity, pedophilia, or illegal plants like psychedelics or Hemp (Cannabis), which was a healing plant for thousands of years, will not last as they are not built on soul, but on very shallow agendas and political and social corruption. The modern-day ideas are motivated in the first place not by a true concern for childhood or public welfare, but a strong concern for enriching an oligarchy of power-holders who just created a few more instruments for worldwide dominion and control.
