Neo-paganism celebrates the Divine Feminine, but what about the other half? The God can often get short shrift because of previous bad experiences with Big Daddy In The Sky. These powerful archetypes have been a part of the human psyche since Neolithic times, and throughout history have been both worshiped and demonized. However, the Masculine half of the Divine has a rich and varied mythology, providing archetypes that men (and women) can look up to for guidance and inspiration.<br />
