Human Ordure and Human Urine: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This most interesting work ties hand in hand with the contemporary study of phallicism and the first real effort to breach the moral taboos of anthropological study of prior years, when if reproduction or sin were discussed at all, it was with marked vehemence and plenty of superfluous language.

While the title of the work involves human feces and urine, it goes far beyond this, into sexual rituals, the consumption of foul, decomposed matter, of the use of animal dung and urine both in and outside of religious ritual, and is heavily sourced with references ranging from Torquemada to the US military of the late 19th century. It is an exceptional anthropological study of the topic, and covers dozens of cultures- tribes in India and in the Americas, the then-modern French peasantry, Persians, and more.

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.

Fishes, Flowers, and Fire: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is yet another of the infamous phallic works written during the late 1800s presumably by Hargrave Jennings, anonymously. The works at the time contained taboo materials, since they spoke of fertility rites, sexual symbolism, and feminine spiritual forces. While "Ophiolatreia" is perhaps the best known of the titles in this privately printed series, this one might be the most interesting.

The work contains three basic sections, as its title suggests; the use of fish as a sexual symbol especially as tired with Christianity would have been considered blasphemy in its era (even if accepted now)- flowers are a fairly obvious sex symbol, but the greatest bulk of the work regards fire worship. Here we see the interesting suggestion that those who "passed their seed (children) through fire to Molech" may have been not sacrificing them but rather ritualistically purifying them. An extremely good work.
