divine marriage
Gods wed mortals
Divine marriage refers to a mystical or spiritual union between a human and a deity, or between two divine beings.
In religious and mythological contexts, it describes sacred unions like those in Greek myth or the symbolic marriage between a devotee and God in mystical traditions.
The concept also appears in Jungian psychology as the union of masculine and feminine aspects within the psyche—the hieros gamos or sacred marriage representing psychological wholeness.
