The Magician Within – Accessing the Shaman in the Male Psyche
€ 109,95
Exploring the spiritual side of the male psyche, the authors present their special program for assisting men in the move from boyhood to manhood. By the authors of The King Within. First printing, hardcover.
An extension of Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette’s theory about the underlying structures and dynamics of the male psyche, The Magician Within explores the psyche’s spiritual side and its qualities of insight, wisdom, and healing.
The authors present the psychological dynamics of the “Magician program,” which enables men to move from boyhood into manhood in a positive, self-affirmative way, then enables them to help others, and they illustrate its universal presence in virtually all human societies. Volgende, they explore the Shadow, or destructive side, of this male potential, and ask men to look at themselves and their own lives to see how they may be caught in the destructive dynamics of either the Detached Manipulator or the Innocent One. Then, readers are invited to use their capacities for thoughtful self-reflection to access the Shaman in themselves for fuller and more generative lives.

Exploring the spiritual side of the male psyche, the authors present their special program for assisting men in the move from boyhood to manhood. By the authors of The King Within. First printing, hardcover.
An extension of Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette’s theory about the underlying structures and dynamics of the male psyche, The Magician Within explores the psyche’s spiritual side and its qualities of insight, wisdom, and healing.
The authors present the psychological dynamics of the “Magician program,” which enables men to move from boyhood into manhood in a positive, self-affirmative way, then enables them to help others, and they illustrate its universal presence in virtually all human societies. Volgende, they explore the Shadow, or destructive side, of this male potential, and ask men to look at themselves and their own lives to see how they may be caught in the destructive dynamics of either the Detached Manipulator or the Innocent One. Then, readers are invited to use their capacities for thoughtful self-reflection to access the Shaman in themselves for fuller and more generative lives.
Drawing on Jungian psychology, theology, and folklore, Moore, who teaches at the Chicago Theological Seminary, and pastoral counselor Gillette, coauthors of The King Within and The Warrior Within, advise men on how to nurture the powerful, generative and healing aspect of their natures called the Magician.
Along the way, men will meet the Trickster, whose manipulative, detached, and destructive capacities represent the Magician in his “shadow” or negative form. Through meditation and self-reflection, men can transform the Trickster’s negative energy into life-affirming, shamanistic power, according to the authors.
Of the book’s four parts, the first three examine the archetypes and shadow forms of the male psyche, while the fourth provides a blueprint for individuals hoping to explore the Magician and Trickster figures in their inner lives. This otherwise thoughtful self-help book is marred by psychological jargon and a reliance on spiritualism and rituals as techniques.
