I have two comments: one serious, the other impish.
Serious: maybe it's because I used to hang out with Wiccans and got an
allergy, but I am extremely reluctant to use 'ancient matriarcial
cultures' in *any* interpretation of prehistory. That part of your post
just leaves me cold.
Impish: Why assume that PIE tripartition has to be a product of any
other culture or cultures? Why not turn it around and posit the
relevant elements in these other cultures as product of Indo-European influence?
