The first in Moore and Gillette's series expanding on King, Warrior, Magician, Lover, this volume examines the King archetype in depth — exploring how a man embodies rightful authority, blessing, order, and generativity when the archetype is functioning well, and the destructive patterns of the tyrant or the weakling when it is not. The book draws on mythology, anthropology, and Jungian psychology to show how King energy appears in every culture's sacred stories. For men struggling with authority — whether wielding it destructively, abdicating it, or having never developed it — this book provides both diagnosis and direction. Especially valuable for men in leadership or those reckoning with wounds inflicted by tyrannical or absent fathers.
