For many the idea of the Dark God evokes the fear of a sinister shadow figure of ill-intent. However, darkness is neither evil nor malicious. The Dark God holds the potent male aspects of that which is hidden, repressed, and/or rejected in our collective unconscious, as well as the fecund richness of our depths.
The Dark God has many faces and many names. He is the Horned One, the Lord of the Animals and the Green Man. He is the Wild Man, an erotic trickster unfettered and unencumbered by doctrine or rules. He is the Liminal King, an edge-walker and guardian of the thresholds. And he is a Lord of Death, the leader of the Wild Hunt and a Faery ruler of the Otherworld.
In this introductory class we will explore a few of the key archetypes of the Dark God, demystifying some of his aspects that are often misunderstood or vilified.
We need these un-Making, covert Gods now more than ever! Now is the time for us to draw from the transformative, rule-breaking wisdom of the Undercountry to fuel our action in the world.
