Here we dive into the framework and many interesting details of Bachofen’s original theory of ancient earthly matriarchies against a coming solar order:
* An outline of Das Mutterecht; “cultural” matriarchy
* Hetairism & “Mother-right”, early chthonic religion
* Women’s revolt against nature
* Dionysus, not Apollo, topples the matriarchy
* Bachofen debunked via primate testicles
* An appreciation of the “night side” of religion & life
