Phallic Miscellanies: Facts and Phases of Ancient and Modern Sex Worship, as Illustrated Chiefly in the Religions of India
Jennings, Hargrave
Hindu cults; Phallicism
PHALLICISM.—A Description of the Worship of LINGAM-YONI in various
parts of the World, and in different Ages, with an Account of Ancient
and Modern Crosses, particularly of the CRUX ANSATA (or Handled Cross)
and other Symbols connected with the Mysteries of SEX WORSHIP. _(Only
in sets), or 10s. 6d. separately._
The importance of this subject, may be gleaned from the
following remarks of Major Gen. Forlong. “Our Queen rules
over, according to the latest census returns, some 100
millions of PURE-PHALLIC worshippers, that is three times the
population of these Islands, and if we say merely Phallo-Solar
worshippers, then 200 millions.”
OPHIOLATREIA.—An Account of the Rites and Mysteries connected with
the Origin, Rise, and Development of SERPENT WORSHIP in various parts
of the World, enriched with Interesting Traditions, and a full
description of the celebrated Serpent Mounds and Temples, the whole
forming an exposition of one of the phases of PHALLIC, or SEX WORSHIP.
PHALLIC OBJECTS, MONUMENTS AND REMAINS; Illustrations of the Rise and
Development of the PHALLIC IDEA (Sex Worship), and its embodiment in
Works of Nature and Art. _Etched Frontispiece._
CULTUS ARBORUM.—A Descriptive Account of PHALLIC TREE WORSHIP, with
illustrative Legends, Superstitious Usages, etc.; exhibiting its
Origin and Development amongst the Eastern and Western Nations of the
World, from the earliest to modern times.
This work has a valuable bibliography which will be of the
greatest use and value to the student of Ancient Faiths. It
contains references to nearly five hundred works on Phallism
and kindred subjects.
FISHES, FLOWERS, AND FIRE as ELEMENTS AND DEITIES in the PHALLIC
FAITHS AND WORSHIP of the Ancient Religions of GREECE, BABYLON, ROME,
INDIA, etc., with illustrative Myths and Legends.
ARCHAIC ROCK INSCRIPTIONS; an Account of the Cup and Ring Marking on
the Sculptural Stones of the Old and New Worlds. _With etched
frontispiece._
“Let any one inspect the plates in works delineating the Hindu
Pantheon, and compare the drawings of the lingam-yoni with
many of the rock markings we have described, with those for
instance on the frontispiece of this book, and they will find
it difficult to avoid the conclusion that there is a manifest
and striking connection. The fact is, the phallic idea, has
prevailed all over the world to a far greater extent than many
have ever imagined, and superficial observers have passed by
many things as inexplicable which came properly within its
domain, and which thus recognised, would have been readily
understood. It is not, of course, to the gross forms of the
Priapus used in ancient Greek, Roman, or Egyptian Festivals
that we allude, but to the much more refined, and, if we may
so call it, modest lingam worship of India.”—THE AUTHOR.
