Neumann 1963. 55–56. (… the favoured spiritual symbol of the matriarchal sphere is the moon in its relation to the night and the Great Mother of the night sky. The moon, as the luminous aspect of the night belongs to her, it is her fruit, her sublimation as light, as expression of her essential spirit.
