Sex Worship: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This intriguing work is, in my opinion, the best broad introductory guide to the fascinating (and expansive) subject of the worship of the human genitals and of reproduction, as the basis for (or a basis of) religion and religious practice. The subject can be sub-divided into various subtopics such as serpent veneration, archaeological remains of generative type, the cultus arborum, and so forth- this work briefly describes them and provides a good index to further reading, going to (painstaking and great) lengths to repeatedly disavow "obscenity" and "debauchery" and assuring the reader in typical early 20th century fashion that it intends itself only as an academic work. It is as amusing in its dryness towards the subject as it is historically interesting. The topic of the degree of influence the lingam and yoni had on the development of human religion is still hotly debated today, though some of the claims of the era have been widely accepted even by adherents.

Phallic Miscellanies: Now Available!

CLICK TO DISPLAY

This work is one of a number that comprised the phallic series, purportedly crafted by Hargrave Jennings anonymously to skirt censorship due to the taboo nature of the subject; it titillates the reader by rendering the solar, phallicist worship of the linga etc to degenerated status, then refusing to flesh out the more lurid parts of cultish ritual. Indeed the work isn't inaccurate per se, it just fails sometimes to mention the scarcity of the phallic cult in the East, the left hand path of sex worship and indulgence.

It contains hundreds of quotes from secondary sources and from Hindu scriptures and delves a bit into Islamic and Buddhist lore as well, albeit less. It is important to note that Jennings (or whoever the author of this lengthy series was) believed that solar and phallic worship spawned all religion.

Phallic Objects: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This work is a bit more like "Archaic Rock Inscriptions" than it is the progenitor work "Phallism" albeit it is from the same series. Like other works within the phallism series (again, as always, possibly but not definitively a work by Jennings Hargrave) it relies predominantly on secondary sources, in this case mostly archaeological.

It's a good work; mostly it covers the prevalence of towers, altars, and pillars of similar apparent composition and form across most of Europe (especially Ireland) and India. It may be seen as a somewhat shorter supplement to "Phallism" at large.

Archaic Rock Inscriptions: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book is from the same editor that crafted Ophiolatreia and Cultus Arborum among other works, (possibly Hargrave.) Made in the 1890s, it is a fairly eugenics-heavy and imperialistic look at the prevalent lingam-identified markings scattered across Brazil, the US, the British Isles, India, and elsewhere.

Its allusions to the Druids, lingam-yoni worship, burial rites, and archeological remains make this a spectacular guide to the same; honestly it's my favorite thus far of these late 19th century books.
