Patriarchy

Traditional Philosophies, Principle and PracticesReligious Philosophies and ConceptsUniversal Values and Morality

I observe that almost every religious or spiritual tradition on earth are Patriarchal. What spiritual traditions on the planet are Matriarchal? Do you feel it's healthy for the planet that almost every tradition is Patriarchal?

    Worship of divine feminine energy in it's various forms is ingrained in Indian culture. There are Devi temples on every other Street and neighborhood, there are festivals and fasts that continue to be a strong part of Indian culture. Lord Shiva is often portrayed as half feminine. Lord Rama is worshipped alongside his wife Sita. And so forth...

    How this translates to treatment of women and respect for feminine ideals in daily living, policy making etc is another matter.
