The study of Masculinity is fascinating. From taking modern ridicule to upholding Men within transpersonal ideals, commitments, and values, most people have praised, or degraded Masculinity. Why is this? Why is there so much confusion and separation surrounding this topic, and should there be? Sacred Masculinity will un-blur the lines, and clear your perception of Masculinity integrating the utmost sacred aspects of our Sacred Masculine Archetypes. Through exploring the worlds of philosophy, shadow psychology, and methodology, we not only explore a multitude of facets of embodied Masculinity, but we explore the four mature male archetypes, depicted, described, and upheld throughout generations. Recorded within myth and literature throughout our history, a strong family essence comes from a strong Man. Men are adequate protectors, providers, and procreators, ordained to set a safe space for the people around him to flourish. This is Sacred Masculinity.

It is no secret that men are in trouble today. From war to ecological collapse, most of the world’s critical problems stem from a distorted masculinity out of control. Yet our culture rewards the very dysfunctions responsible for those problems. To Matthew Fox, our crucial task is to open our minds to a deeper understanding of the healthy masculine than we receive from our media, culture, and religions. Popular religion forces the punitive imagery of fundamentalism on us, pushing most men away from their natural yearning for spirituality and toward intolerance and domination. Meanwhile, many men, particularly young men, are looking for images of healthy masculinity to emulate and finding nothing. To awaken what Fox calls “the sacred masculine,” he unearths ten metaphors, or archetypes, ranging from the Green Man, an ancient pagan symbol of our fundamental relationship with nature, to the Grandfatherly Heart to the Spiritual Warrior. He explores archetypes of sacred marriage, showing how partnership becomes the ultimate expression of healthy masculinity. By stirring our natural yearning for healthy spirituality, Fox argues, these timeless archetypes can inspire men to pursue their higher calling to reinvent the world.

Roar Rule Laugh Create Destroy Love ...And lay claim to your true masculine nature and spiritual heritage. According to Dagonet Dewr, a writer and activist in the men's pagan spirituality movement: "We have forgotten how to cry, to scream, to hunt, to love, to honor, to teach, to initiate." Hip, funny, and direct, this pagan belief guide explores twelve powerful male archetypes and their relevance for men today: Divine Child, Lover, Warrior, Trickster, Green Man, Guide, Craftsman, Magician, Destroyer, King, Healer, and Sacrificed One. Stories of characters from mythology, fantasy, and pop culture illustrate different expressions of masculine energy. With pagan rituals and magickal workings, this pagan book offers a visceral, hands-on way to connect with archetypal energies and honor male rites of passage such as coming of age, seeking a partner in love, or becoming a father.

In this second book of The New Eden Series, artist, author and spiritual guide James Galluzzo explores the Sacred Masculine and a return to the spiritual dimensions of being male. The Sacred Masculine has become lost in patriarchy and hierarchy, in old established roles and patterns. Expectations of culture, status, power, money and religion have conditioned men away from their authentic selves. But men are beginning to feel the call to embrace the sacredness in their lives, to reclaim their humanity, respect their true selves and live with integrity. By addressing the old messages of what it means to be male, by facing old hurts and healing that pain, men can begin to call the sacredness into themselves and see the sacredness in others, and in all of creation. Through art, prayer and poetry, the Sacred Masculine offers men a different way of being masculine, a path to become more fully human and a way to rediscover the deeply sacred in their masculinity. Rediscovering the sacred will allow the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine to merge and create a connection to wholeness in which all people can live and work in peace, bring about justice and respect for all living creatures, the earth, the universe, the cosmos and recognize the sacred within and among us. This is the path to creating a New Eden.

Conventional ideas about gender and sexuality dictate that people born with male bodies naturally possess both a man's identity and a man's right to authority. Recent scholarship in the field of gender studies, however, exposes the complex political technologies that construct gender as a supposedly unchanging biological essence with self-evident links to physicality, identity, and power. In Masculinities without Men? Jean Bobby Noble explores how the construction of gender was thrown into crisis during the twentieth century, resulting in a permanent rupture in the sex/gender system, and how masculinity became an unstable category, altered across time, region, social class, and ethnicity.

The bestselling, widely heralded, Jungian introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity. Redefining age-old concepts of masculinity, Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette make the argument that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but generative, creative, and empowering of the self and others. Moore and Gillette clearly define the four mature male archetypes that stand out through myth and literature across history: the king (the energy of just and creative ordering), the warrior (the energy of aggressive but nonviolent action), the magician (the energy of initiation and transformation), and the lover (the energy that connects one to others and the world), as well as the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential (divine child, oedipal child, trickster and hero). King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is an exploratory journey that will help men and women reimagine and deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche.

Studies in gender in medieval culture have tended to focus on femininity, however the study of medieval masculinities has developed greatly over the last few years. Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages is the first volume to concentrate on this specific aspect of medieval gender studies, and looks at the ways in which varieties of medieval masculinity intersected with concepts of holiness. Patricia Cullum and Katherine J. Lewis have collected an exceptional group of essays that explore differing notions of medieval holiness, understood variously as religious, saintly, sacred, pure, morally perfect, and consider topics such as significance of the tonsure, sanctity and martyrdom, eunuch saints, and the writings of Henry Suso. Holiness and Masculinity in the Middle Ages deals with a wide variety of texts and historical contexts, from Byzantium to Anglo-Saxon and late-medieval England.
