Phallic Miscellanies: Sex Worship

Bag om Phallic Miscellanies: Sex Worship

Phallic Miscellanies is one of a number of works on the issue of phallic symbols, the yoni, sex magic, and pagan ritualism written in the 1890s by an unknown author generally assumed to be Hargrave Jennings. It is a fairly deep work, with numerous references to Hindu scripture and some minor forays into Islam and Buddhism.The symbolism is, in Hinduism, fairly explicit- the lingam and yoni are worshiped openly and, in a more literal sense by some sub-schools of Hindu thought. In its era of manufacture this book was utterly taboo, hence its privately printed status, and would have shocked the audience with lurid depictions of "degenerated" worship, by Western standards at the time.
