Patriarchy and Matriarchy – look at the linguistic rhyming inherent within. You may as well know what you are saying when you said “up with this!” and “down with that!”.
As a mystic, I see both patriarchy and matriarchy as different ways of solving the problems of life. Each once ‘worked’.
From my perspective both have inherent values needing to be incorporated into any system of Gaia governance going forward. Yet must address certain underlying lies and restrictions in order to release and utilize the energies that are bound.
In our new ‘souk kingdom’ world, I’ll link to it below, Mars is inherently balanced by Venus. Boys and girls are each adept – sometimes overlapping; each has gained an understanding of their own particular choices. Some like more blues; others more oranges. It all depends on one’s underlying temperaments.
Most ~ importantly Mercury – our intellectually questing self, is much more developed, nuanced, and expressed constructively. By graduation each gain a nuanced vocabulary of their everyday and weekend world. They will know how an article or creation – is made from start to finish. They will know how to use their hands in many new ways.
Even amongst natural leaders, those tallest and fairest, they will have dignity they’ve further earned- and be more fulfilled as a result.
Locally, Moon cycles and Gaia’s seasons are noted. There’s a community posterboard – with moon phase and astrology announcements. So people gain awareness in these underlying forces – such as remember on strong Mars days – to have extra patience; or to have a laugh when she comes home with ‘presents’ on Venus days..
Even though some of hu(e)-manity doesn’t menstruate, that is, not all are wo(e)-men or wo(mb)-men, all hu(e-men are water beings.
We thrive in sync with cycles of days, months, and seasons. Our body does likewise. It expands in summer and shrivels in winter.

Our collective of hu(e)-anity will have a sense of humor!!! Jokes will be about personal peccadilloes of how the machine we’d planned on using, suddenly broke down – and how we (sometimes) found a better solution. Or how we misjudged a dye-fast – our project bled – and we learned to embroidery around it- it came out even better.
When Mercury goes retrograde – understanding these lesson for what they are – opportunities to develop another trait or skill and gain new teachers.

Let’s break it down first – the words’ letters and vowels. With both matriarchy and patriarchy we’ve got 2 As, one I, with a Y at the end.
So each express qualities of Ayin’s ע eyes of judging and co (m)- man(d)-ing – being ‘king’ among (co is cooperative and collaborative- in addition to commanding) ‘men’ (hu(e)-mens).
‘I’ is Yod י with Vau ו, In the middle, is using our being in alignment with G-d’s hand -including fingers. Each digit represents a thing different. We’d be overwhelmed developing them all at the same time!
With R, Ria (= rhea), there is flow – a force of outgoing-ness; it can be spouting or waterfall;steady or thready. This rhea also engenders our emotionally leaking being when we focus on stuff that isn’t savory. Rhea is thought of as depleting, but it is self-fulfilling.
(Rhea, as in emotional energy, is backed up with a whole bunch of glands that want to be utilized once they are repleted!)
*
Patriarchy starts with a percussive consonant – Pa. In Hebrew, Peh is our external mouth. It emotionally expresses and distills words, as ideas and thou oughts (thoughts).
When pa is in charge, he is the commander. His deep words move through the air and water. They may slow down but penetrate interfaces unlike ma’s which tend to be shriller. Pa uses his eyes, but has his big muscular body – shoulders, arms, and hands to force with. Testosterone keeps him slightly edgy. Over millennia, he’s acquired by brute strength. He’s been emasculated by circumcision and blood sacrifices – so must prove (p’rove) himself. (leave father’s home)
He is here to do that- whatever he wants how to create and protect his ‘nest’. He’s an inspirer by design because he’s an unknown. Whatever pops out of his mouth is ~ usually based on what his eyes see (governed by our liver and solar plexus) and not his actual head. His vocabulary tends to be limited – because he’s isolated in his version of ivory tower or worksite.
He does what he wants, by whatever means necessary. He learns to use force – not wile or leverage (until later – from his sisters). Face it, mas dote on them. Ma leaves daughters to sink or swim.
Pa is driven by psyche’s “needs” – which are taught by ma’s in utero teachings of rhythms and diets. His corpus is ‘trained’ in a sea of mama syllables- then refined by dad’s. Words uttered with or without either heart being in them.
Pa has come to expect his treatment(s) from her- and from his collective of peers. He creates by using words of command and body as tool. Of all sorts but more often his arms, and palms, than mouth or fingers. You really can’t blame dad for anything; until now, at home he’s mostly a bystander.
Or more accurately, by-sitter – all the fathers I’ve known mostly just sit when they’re home and watch TV!
*
Matriarchy –starts with Ma. Matriarchy contains Mem’s מ vibrations. This is her reality. Ma is the container. Well, technically her womb is which is why it empties monthly- unless she’s caught something.
Ma fulfills Pa’s wishes for a home base- now; technically she’s a prisoner as long as she’s sitting there.
As a prisoner, she’s Pre -zon-er- lives firstly in a (witnessable) private zone amongst changes to her flow of being. She lives to adapt to her confines.
(Short I, sounds more like e when used, such as in the word pretty; long I, as in words private or primary – sounds like Ayin’s עY. Long I sounds thus include both Vau/Vav ו and Ayin ע).
Hers isn’t creative; it’s obedient and transforming- though she may offer projects to her kids. She asks herself all the time, “what’s next?”, instead of Pa’s, ”I want”.
As she is unpaid for her work, ma’s a serf or even slave. Has little or no life of her own outside in the big wide Gaia world.
She lives in a private world of her own and rarely goes out. Most of her time is spent moving -busy and active; she doesn’t rarely hangs out like dad (~always) does when he is at home.
Mem מ senses and processes. Mem מ מdiscerns vibrations into response language. These vibrations can be helpful or hurtful. Some of ma’s words are not helpful.
Mem, מ elemental Water (~spirits of emotion, expressed as words we say when we’re excited) needs a container and framework. Water is inherently polar – it stays connected to charge that attracts it. It loves a little ionization, one step beyond polarity – when Pa’s salt dissociates from her tears and he gives in.
Ma remembers everything – that’s why they call her wo(e)-man. As water, Mem מ is sensitive to tides – so is Moon sensor. She ‘sees’ lightforms reflect upon her surface which may be agitated- spitting white caps (LIKE WHEN SHE IS ANGRY) or calm and receptive. When ma sits, she stews, that’s why she’s wo(e)-man. So she keeps fussing and busy instead.
For ma, it’s about her nest- and her ‘tree’ and whether or not any cool spirits are dropping by- and her appearance that it be pleasing to pa (at least initially – before honeymoon spirit evaporates). Oh yes, and “could pa please take out the trash”.
Tri-archy is common to both – implicit use of triune brain creating a solution –as arches do connect from one existence to another. T means tangible and based on tooth’s (Teth’s ט ) lineage – our diet and who we eat with. Both preserve an experience of family.
In both cases there are three ~reptilian, learned, and ‘higher’ engaged as part of their solutions. Learned is emulating our personal lineage as it was modeled to us – not anything of nonsense.
Higher depends on what’s available. Higher self’s reflections start with any version of ‘rapture’- awe from when we see a difficult situation (for us) solved elegantly. We want to follow the rules of those who seem successful or awesome to us.
Then we gain beings ‘of stature’ in our inner landscape. Sometimes they are beings of glamour and not substance.
*
When man’s reptilian brain is engaged, he fights in the inner city; he argues in the suburbs, he kills in isolation.
Women are taught to be snake-like, disappear or become dragon conjuring words to save herself – as it should be (it’s her ‘job’ to learn how to retreat without wounds). She always find new ways to thrive; she adapts but she only has one womb and usually one baby at a time.
He blends in with his peers and others to get his very real creature comfort needs met. To be close without touching. Her soma self naturally stays closer to home- unless immersed in an male outlook society. Then only her period reminds her.
As she’s not generally in a world of other’s orders, her brain naturally multitasks –she’s natural at organizing. She understands the vibe learns through experience, how to change it.
His midbrain like things orderly – by design. He gets to learn about dad’s world second-hand – as dad describes it -until he is immersed as a conscious being. Men’s brains, under testosterone’s influence are naturally jittery. They need alone time to think.
Mom’s world materializes –it’s there the whole time even as she’s creating it continuously-immersed in Sisyphean tasks. One thing’s a mess. Then it’s fixed, but there’s always another to be managed. Her job, as wo(mb)-man is to learn how to flow amongst younger mirrors of herself navigate the world. As children are perfect reflections of our being with them – and others they may have ‘witnessed’ including while in the womb!
I was 37 weeks pregnant and our dog found the red clay pooled in all the tire tracks next to our house in Germany was great fun to roll in. He became completely red from the tip to tip. While I was washing him off, he snapped at me and I really growled back at him with ferocity- only my l’Ove daemon the man has seen. My rare rage was also witnessed by my son developing in utero. No one else, that I know of has seen me this way. Do I really wonder why he switched to formula quickly or preferred his doting father? There was no experience of that with my other son – who doesn’t harbor such feelings (though he has other ones – his own version of hangups. Neither is better or worse, good or bad; both must and can be healed with the grace of G-d’s teachers – you and me and everyone between.
Wo(e)-men ‘learn’ and teach us how we keep our spirits even when the chips are down. And while there will always be both, may it be so the unnecessary needs to hold on to our departed lessen over time. Pa teaches us to keep standing – and get up (ourselves) when we fall down. Without both these ‘tools’, our kit is incomplete.
*
With y, Ayin’s ע eye at the end, both creates worlds that are witnessable. Yes, there are a lot of plurals – each one are economically essential and useful! We can create more of them – and get off the hard drugs of gambling, porn, and addictions.
But still, you need Shin ש(spirit of ancestral creative discipline(s)) and Qoph ק-moon and time- sensitive corporal being, to create with – and move tangible matter into being.
Only then can spirit come ‘down’ to Malkuth’s world of dense creation which can be gold – not always lead.
*
From G-d’s perspective – say from Ain Soph’s – he only see’s our Orphic soul being within a context with other Orphic Soul’s; He sees our type and bonds of connection. Uses Her to make more of them. It’s up to us to change our language! While we are all one to Him, at the same time we are each a fractal of His hologram- being rebirthed with each breath of Aleph א.
Our prayers are in His queue- which until now, only He is privy to!
Father’s patriarchy creates a world of structures. His puts dreams into actions that last.
Mother creates by speaking over her humming as well as with her womb. When she’s calm – so is her family as audience. Soma pays attention to all that is new and different; it likes what it likes.
As ma commands from within; pa commands from without. He gets home and wants things as he likes it.
Men are left on their own to be amongst themselves. Their world is not of home. Its one is a world with not-home’s moving parts. Isolation is rewarded- since until now, when ‘he’ gets home he ‘curls up in a little ball’ though it might look like staring at a fish tank or horizontal box.
Isolation, neglect, and abandonment, common in many of Gaia’s worlds today, create immense pain and suffering. Which further creates thoughts –especially thou oughts, and more feelings. Using objects to soothe, instead of being typically in a space of creativity, shrink our souls further. Our soul manifests our heart’s solar power – using Vau/Vav’s ו ‘tool’ – mercy- but needs a ‘teacher’ (friend you’d have tea with) or guide.
Spirit uses our being to impress, entrain, shift, and brighten others in our hu(e)-man family’s collective. That’s it. But never underestimate a ‘butterfly effect’.
As we come to understand ‘trauma’ for what it is – opportunities for a lineage to ripen and mature, stuck feelings get hashed out with those most intimate beings we call family. It is easy to forget each has their own agenda too!
We can talk about before then.
Before patriarchy’s thrusting phallic domination forces a ‘landscape’ to comply, creating states of subservience, matriarchy creates comfort in his stomping grounds- so he won’t abandon her- now burdened with children.
The one thing in common – they all have slaves. Beings they don’t pay any or a fair wage and sometimes mistreat. But who mostly stick around anyway even when given a chance to flee- the slaves have a version of “Stockholm syndrome”- speaks to our underlying entwined energies.
Before systems of matriarchy and patriarchy, the ‘G-ds’ had no formative coherence. Some talk about Lemurian, Atlantean, and others. They aren’t part of my timeline that I know of but maybe they’re yours.
Most act savagely upon Gaia’s landscapes mining for Her crystals and ores- at least until now. They don’t give a please or thanks. Think money is the worth. Duh, money is the result of doing business. It seems to be going beautifully – or was until gas prices spiked.
Savage sa va – Using soma’s power of creation for oneself alone.
We’ve been savages for an Aeon, its time to become hu(e)-mans- each one intervening in their own way. Like airline baggage being sorted- we have different arrivals and destinations.
While Mars blasts in a direction – to create movement when stimulated; Saturn withers and freezes solidifies into being. A body needs both movement and form-of water and mineral. Honor your “male-fics” – things that empower you! Make a totem! And check out my webpage for more ideas of our common solution.
