Phallic Worship: A description of the mysteries of the sex worship of the ancients, with the history of the masculine cross. An account of primitive symbolism, Hebrew phallicism, bacchic festivals, sexual rites, and the mysteries of the ancient faiths.

Description

Uncover the hidden spiritual history of the masculine cross in Phallic Worship by Hargrave Jennings. This comprehensive study traces the evolution of phallic symbolism from ancient Bacchic festivals and primitive rituals to its transformation into Christian iconography. Jennings argues that the modern cross is not a replacement of ancient symbols but a transmutation of them, revealing a continuous lineage of sacred meaning that predates Christianity by millennia.\n\nThrough a rigorous examination of Hebrew phallicism, pagan mysteries, and the symbolism of the ancient faiths, Jennings demonstrates how sacred sexuality shaped Western religious identity. The book combines historical analysis with a provocative thesis about the continuity of sacred symbols across cultures and eras. Whether you are a student of religious history, a scholar of comparative mythology, or a curious reader seeking to understand the deeper roots of Western symbolism, Phallic Worship offers a compelling and scholarly exploration of one of the most misunderstood symbols in human history.
