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.

Fishes, Flowers, and Fire: Now Available!

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.
