In The East... The idea of The Divine Mother is better understood than it is in The West. Some cultures in The West have matriarchal cultures, but that is not the same thing; I am referring to Latin America. Those are also the cultures where women are treated worse than in other cultures. You can argue about it, but... I recommend you study the matter. I think it has to do with that inherent insecurity called machismo. It's even worse in The Middle East.
The West usually sees God as father figure; Our Father who art in Heaven. This is all just more anthropomorphism. Yes... the two interactive expressions of the... same... force... particularized according to function... have a male and female aspect, BUT... they both divide out of an Impersonal Self that can (and does) operate as either one.
It confuses people; is God The Father or... is God The Mother or... is that which is ineffable neither of these? All of them are true and all of them work very well as an initial focus where... nothing more is needed... not really.
It can create complexity though. Hah! What do you know? It is the very source of complexity to begin with... via The Mind.
