>Religion is about respect to nature
Mein sides, trust me Ragnar, you don't want to revert back to matriarchal cults, its the same shit mess that we're in right now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertility_rite
>Fertility rites are religious rituals that reenact, either actually or symbolically, sexual acts and/or reproductive processes: 'sexual intoxication is a typical component of the…rites of the various functional gods who control reproduction, whether of man, beast, cattle, or grains of seed'.[1]
>They may alternatively involve the sacrifice of 'a primal animal, which must be sacrificed in the cause of fertility or even creation',[2] while there is evidence that 'prehistoric mother worship in the form of fertility rites is tied to human sacrifice'.[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Jakob_Bachofen
>Bachofen's 1861 Das Mutterrecht proposed four phases of cultural evolution which absorbed each other:
>1) Hetaerism: a wild nomadic 'tellurian' [= chthonic or earth-centered] phase, characterised by him as communistic and polyamorous, whose dominant deity he believed to have been an earthy proto Aphrodite.
>2) Das Mutterecht: a matriarchal 'lunar' phase based on agriculture, characterised by him by the emergence of chthonic mystery cults and law. Its dominant deity was an early Demeter according to Bachofen.
>3) The Dionysian: a transitional phase when earlier traditions were masculinised as patriarchy began to emerge. Its dominant deity was the original Dionysos.
>4) The Apollonian: the patriarchal 'solar' phase, in which all trace of the Matriarchal and Dionysian past was eradicated and modern civilisation emerged.
