King, Warrior, Magician, Lover

Book • 1991
This book redefines age-old concepts of masculinity by arguing that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but rather generative, creative, and empowering.

Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette identify and define the four mature male archetypes: the King (just and creative ordering), the Warrior (aggressive but nonviolent action), the Magician (initiation and transformation), and the Lover (connection to others and the world).

They also explore the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential: the divine child, oedipal child, trickster, and hero.

The book is an exploratory journey to help men and women deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche.
