Product Description

Product Description

Jungian analyst Robert Moore and mythologist Douglas Gillette combine in this book that attempts to break the code on the structure of the mature masculine personality. Examining the four mature archtypes: the King (energy of creative ordering), the Warrior (energy of non-violent aggressive action), the Magician (energy of initiation and transformation) and the Lover (energy to connect men to others and the world). The authors argue that a man's failure or success in life depends on achieving access to the archetypal energies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Insight but doesn't sizzle!, 2 Nov 2003
By Mr. N. M. Roberts "nate_jones_uk" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
REally insightful book. Lots of useful information on male archetypes and their shadows - not really an ideal first book for someone looking into male issues, but for those who's already done some exploring it's definitely worth having.

The one criticism I would have is that some fo the prose is a little turgid and it takes some concentration to read and absorb. Well worth making the effort though!

5.0 out of 5 stars Encompassing wonder!, 14 Jul 2008
By D. O'Halloran "Frisky Dirt" (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having recently spent a week at Findhorn with Robert Moore and feeling his humility and kingly energy at first hand, as well as re-reading this inspirational book again, with a new slant, I am very much in awe of the powerful wisdom that is contained within the pages of possibly one of the primers of the male movement since the early 1990s. In person, Moore has quoted statistical evidence to back up the broad sweep of his intuitive claims for his four archetype theory, but such claims are not evidenced here, instead concentrating on a broad delineation.

Surely we are listening to the positive central tenets of the KWML in its outline of the passage from boyhood to manhood by now..?

However, a regular appraisal of any news TV and advertising will tell you otherwise.. the false heart of the reporting press seems more interested in a society in the grip of monster boys and high performing narcissists - even if disturbingly accurate. Or maybe these media outlets are reporting on a society that is badly in need of inclusive kingly provision, warrior focus, magician transformation, and lover intimacy? Such traits that are not even considered in their full maturity.. reaching a spiritual cardinal virtuosity as blessing, service, healing and joy.

Moore avers that the means of achieving the quest to obtain male maturity has been lost in a western framework and resembles a slow deliberate torture of the soul without maturation reference points, especially from those provided by older wiser men.

This book is a Jungian unravelling of the deep structures of the collective unconscious, and by emersing in its deep and rich information, has the potential to provide an archetypal journey of the Self with a concomitant mature strengthening of Egoic adaptations.

Moore originally dedicated his life to completing Jung's map of the collective unconscious, and instead stumbled upon a generation of men who readily 'incorporated' his work, and have culturally thrived in its deep reflective waters of male exploration..

2.0 out of 5 stars Woolly, off-the-wall archetypes, 21 Nov 2002
By Nick Skinner (Stafford, UK) - See all my reviews
The authors explore a reasonable hypothesis: based on Jungian concepts of archetypes in our unconscious which influence our behaviour, they suggest that the dominant male archetypes are those listed in the title. Each of these has an immature form, and may be expressed in an unbalanced form - one of two polar extremes, a kind of "shadow" expression. As you can see, this gets rather complex, and their exposition tends to be on the woolly side, illustrated by reference to movies such as "Patton" (archetypal warrior) which the reader may not identify with. Some of their concepts and recommendations are clearly derived from New Age paganism, and seem rather off-the-wall. If you're an enthusiastic New-Ager, you may enjoy this book, but most readers will probably be disappointed.
