The Llewellyn Encyclopedia

Term: Male Energy

DEFINITIONS

Male Energy:

More accurately, archetypal male energy. Based on the idea that only the ultimate divine source (i.e., God) is totally unified, the nature of energy is divided into two parts, represented by male and female. In most Western traditions, archetypal male energy is said to be outgoing, aggressive, and constructive. It is also known as electric, positive (in the sense of the positive pole of a magnet), and the Chinese Yang. In some Eastern traditions, such as Tantra, male energy is seen to be passive and receptive.
