June’s Theme: Archetype

We are approaching Father’s Day and this is a great opportunity to explore our relationship with the Divine Masculine. Even if you feel balanced and harmonious with divine masculine energy, it is an interesting exercise to see how you connect and even celebrate it in your life consistently. Just as a loving, nurturing, and involved father figure can help one feel safe and loved, the same can be said for when we have a wounded relationship with a male figure. Heartache, neglect, and trauma have caused many of us to move away from the Divine Masculine. Even on the subconscious level, there may be a resistance that is not easily seen in an awakened state.

The Divine masculine doesn’t just encompass the persons who identify as male, but it is much more than that. In each of us lies Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energy. There are times when we are being ruled by one over the other. Divine Feminine is about yin, receptive, and rest energy. Divine Masculine is about yang and action-oriented energy. It can represent fatherly or paternal energy, but divine masculine doesn’t automatically mean someone who is a father. Another aspect of the Divine Masculine is the archetype of a lover in a person’s relationship.

Use the following questions as journal or spread prompts and consider the following:

1. How do you feel when you hear the words “Divine Masculine?” Why do you feel that way? (Positive or negative) 
2. What or who represents the Divine Masculine energy in your life? 
3. What is your relationship with the Divine Masculine? 
4. How can you connect more to the Divine Masculine essence in your life? 

Another exercise to consider is using a deck like Caroline Myss’ Archetypes Oracle and selecting cards that represent Divine Masculinity. You could shuffle and pick at random or intentionally pick out the cards. Either way, it is an interesting exercise in forming your own associations with the Divine Masculine energy.

As we head towards Father’s Day, consider adding new offerings to celebrate or explore our internal relationships with the Divine Masculine. Work with clients who need healing from being involved in a heavily patriarchal environment. Help those who grapple with broken relationships with masculine energy. Run a sale that celebrates Father’s Day and create an offering with fathers in mind. Most importantly, check in with yourself and see how you are doing with the fatherly archetype or the Divine Masculine energy in your life.
