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.

Polyandry

The mating of one female with more than one male while each male mates with only one female is known as polyandry (literally, "many males"). Polyandry (Greek: poly- many, andros- man) refers to a form of polygamous marriage, or other sexual union, in which one woman is married to two or more husbands at the same time.

This type of marriage is, not surprisingly, very rarely found around the Globe. It occurs among populations where there are fewer women than men. Female tendencies to find husbands out of a sack first appeared among traditional matriarchal societies. In such primitive groups there was a tradition to kill baby girls in order to reduce the occurrence of births. As a result the female population gradually decreased in comparison to the male population -- and thus the term, "It's a Man's World"?

Polygamy, on the other hand, is when a woman or man is married to more than one spouse. Polygamy is a term which is most often used when describing how a man is married to more than one woman. This description is incorrect because the concept of polygamy means a situation where either a man or woman is married to more than one spouse. The situation where the man or woman is married to more than one spouse can be sorted into different sociological categories and concepts. These include how a man can be married to more than one woman (polygyny) and how a woman can be married to more than one man (polyandry).

Polyandry in human relationships occurs or has occurred in Tibet, the Canadian Arctic, Zanskar, Nepal, Bhutan, Ladakh, the Nymba, and Sri Lanka, and is known to have been present in some pre-contact Polynesian societies, though probably only among higher caste women. It is also encountered in some regions of Mongolia, among the Mosuo people in China, and in some Sub-Saharan African and American indigenous communities. In other societies, there are people who live in de facto polyandrous arrangements that are not recognized by the law.

Sociologist Hilmi Ziya Ülken made the following statements about the prevalence of polygamy and monogamy;

"Male dominance since the evolution of primitive societies and his first class distinction being his gender distinction have meant that the single husband framework has proved its sovereignty. However in some places, distinctive economic circumstances and in other places, certain historical periods, have all brought about a framework of marrying many husbands. This is apparent in the Fratri region of Australia."

Although historically many societies witness single husband marriages, many women have married more than one man due to the geographical conditions and economic problems. For example; When there was limited land for usage in Tibet, a group of brothers all married the same woman. By marrying the same woman they were able to produce fewer children and avoid a split in their future inheritance. Consequently they were able to establish financial security to a certain degree..
