THE MALE DIVINE
Leonard and McClure, Ch. 4
Masculine Divine
 “Dying Gods” who rise quickly,
become consorts of the Great
Goddess, and fall into death – the
seasonal vegetative cycle.
(Leonard and McClure 185-8)
 Shaman figure that uses trances,
chanting, and dancing to mediate
between their people and
supernatural powers.
(Leonard and
McClure 188)
Sorcerer of Trois Freres
Cave painting
discovered in
France and dated
to approximately
13,000 BCE.
Note combined
human and
animal traits.
(Leonard and McClure 188)
Male Archetypes
 Fathers and Sons
Primary deity in a pantheon
is a male who often acts like
earthly despots and
frequently delegates day to
day control of affairs to other
deities
(Leonard and McClure 189-192)
 Kings and Judges
Deity as monarchial power
emphasizes safety, peace, and
prosperity rather than family
relationships
(Leonard and McClure 192-195)
Male Archetypes
 Saviors and Sages
A savior bridges the gap between
humanity and the deity and often
willingly lays down his life
(scapegoat)
(Leonard and McClure 192-195)
 Lords of Destruction and the
Underworld
Gods who represent war,death,
disease, and famine in this world.
Lords of the underworld are rulers
of the land of the dead.
(Leonard and McClure 192-195)
Male Archetypes
 Tricksters and Shamans
Tricksters are figures who invert or
subvert the normal order, and
they often use the ambiguities in
language for personal advantage
or to get out of trouble.
Shamans are ecstatic visionaries
who travel secret roads that unify
the Great Above, the Great Below,
and the material world that lies
between.
(Leonard and McClure 199-203)
