Has anyone related this to the rise of the Wiccan movement as yet? It
seems to be an even purer manifestation of this phenomenon than the
original cults.
I had read that previously, but however on revisiting your site another
question has been raised in regards to the sentence "Bachofen's work,
however, because its evolutionist prejudices - which, quite ironically,
led it to be adopted by various feminist currents..." How so?

"In the streets of Berlin, Paris or London," as for instance
A.Baeumler, a famous National-Socialist scholar, wrote, "all you have
to do is to observe for a moment a man or a woman to realise that the
cult of Aphrodite is the one before which Zeus and Apollo had to beat
a retreat... The present age bears, in fact, all the features of a
gynaecocratic age. In a late and decadent civilisation, new temples
of Isis and Astarte, of these Asian mother goddesses that were
celebrated in orgies and licentiousness, in desperate sinking into
sensual pleasure, arise. The fascinating female is the idol of our
times, and, with painted lips, she walks through the European cities
as she once did through Babylon. And as if she wanted to confirm
Bachofen's profound intuition, the lightly dressed modern ruler of
man keeps in leash a dog, the ancient symbol of unlimited sexual
promiscuity and infernal forces".
