As a Celtic pagan I actually take a bit of offence to him diminishing the sacredness of the mother, maiden and crone figures. They are all valuable. They are all important. To present just one simplified angle, The Maiden represents all that is pure and good. The Mother is the representation of the Earth Mother on actual earth. Self explanatory. The Crone is valuable because she is the midwife that's seen a hundred births. She is the matriarch of her family. She is responsible for ensuring the survival of her lineage. This is all clearly very sacred to us. Some religions it's allowed to talk down to I guess.

another way to conceptualize virgin/mother/crone is: virgin = pure spirit, is not a part of the material world but has immense wisdom about the spiritual world and sometimes gives this wisdom to mortals. mother = the source from which all things material come from, the gate through which spirit passes through to become physical, the entity that gives everything life. crone = death, the afterlife where we must all go, the space we all inhabit waiting to be reborn

Yeah, the similarities between certain gods of different religious are way too crazy to just be coincidental archetypes that we-re thought up independently. There are literally separate characters that have basically the same stories. But that-s just archetypes?
Right, and I-m a 6 foot tall, handsome athlete with many friends and an expensive car, a house, a wife, and a career.

Consider: those venus statues are self portraits of women, and they get those exaggerated attributes because the women are looking straight down at their bodies, which isn't the most accurate angle tbh, but they didn't have mirrors yet

Approaching it from a binary view of male/female energy first is completely ignoring the fact that both energies come from the same Creator. The Creator has both energies as they do not need to reproduce to create like all other creations do.

Matrifocal societies would follow as the matrilineal line was the only assured way to define lineage. Even today Jews and some of the Christian variants proclaim you to belong to the religion of your mother.

I love how they go on about matriarchal societies being better but look at modern feminists screaming that all men must die and must be subservient to women. Not looking forward to it.
