| worship phallus: Phallic Worship George Ryley Scott, 1996-01-01 Scott's intro. to this fascinating work opens with a singularly bold contention: ÔThe study of phallicism', he states, Ôis the study of religion. In this lies its importance'. Phallic worship as a sensual, ritualistic celebration of fertility was almost totally banished from our lives by the strictures of Christian moralism. The silence that followed prevented popular understanding of a very natural & widespread religious impulse. This exciting work returns sexual cults to the central position they once occupied in many of the world's great religions. Scott argues for the importance of phallicism throughout history & across cultures, from the cult of Priapus in classical times, through witchcraft & paganism in early Europe, to the sensual religions of the East.

| worship phallus: Phallic Worship: A Description of The Mysteries of The Sex Worship of The Ancients With The History of The Masculine Cross Anonymous, Sex Worship has prevailed among all peoples of ancient times, sometimes contemporaneous and often mixed with Star, Serpent, and Tree Worship. The powers of nature were sexualised and endowed with the same feelings, passions, and performing the same functions as human beings. Among the ancients, whether the Sun, the Serpent, or the Phallic Emblem was worshipped, the idea was the same—the veneration of the generative principle. Thus we find a close relationship between the various mythologies of the ancient nations, and by a comparison of the creeds, ideas, and symbols, can see that they spring from the same source, namely, the worship of the forces and operations of nature, the original of which was doubtless Sun worship. It is not necessary to prove that in primitive times the Sun must have been worshipped under various names, and venerated as the Creator, Light, Source of Life, and the Giver of Food. In the earliest times the worship of the generative power was of the most simple and pure character, rude in manner, primitive in form, pure in idea, the homage of man to the supreme power, the Author of life. Afterwards the worship became more depraved, a religion of feeling, sensuous bliss, corrupted by a priesthood who were not slow to take advantage of this state of affairs, and inculcated with it profligate and mysterious ceremonies, union of gods with women, religious prostitution and other degrading rites. Thus it was not long before the emblems lost their pure and simple meaning and became licentious statues and debased objects. Hence we have the depraved ceremonies at the worship of Bacchus, who became, not only the representative of the creative power, but the God of pleasure and licentiousness. The corrupted religion always found eager votaries, willing to be captives to a pleasant bondage by the impulse of physical bliss, as was the case in India and Egypt, and among the Phœnicians, Babylonians, Jews and other nations. Sex worship once personified became the supreme and governing deity, enthroned as the ruling God over all; dissent therefrom was impious and punished. The priests of the worship compelled obedience; monarchs complied to the prevailing faith and became willing devotees to the shrines of Isis and Venus on the one hand, and of Bacchus and Priapus on the other, by appealing to the most animating passion of nature. |

| worship phallus: From Babylon to Here Alan Conlan, 2016-07-25 Babylon was once a great civilization. Its rulers worshipped as Gods/Goddesses, nothing could possibly go wrong. But inevitable destruction ensued. We are today reliving the same process, enacting the same thought patterns from which our minds substantiate a pseudo reality recreating a neurotic world. We need to ask ourselves, who are the Gods being worshiped today? From Babylon to here, has anything really changed? The questioner contends: See how the notion of phallic divinity arises. The phallus becomes a divine instrument of pleasure and is thus worshiped as the font of all life. As a reaction, the symbol of the feminine appears claiming her sovereignty that she is the source of life and denounces the phallus as only having symbolical significance. Some might think our churches, temples and mosques have nothing in common with such erroneous worship. But the findings from this research show that religions are the propagators of this disconnect from God. |

| worship phallus: The Sex Worship and Symbolism of Primitive Races: An Interpretation Sanger Brown, 2019-12-04 In The Sex Worship and Symbolism of Primitive Races: An Interpretation, Sanger Brown embarks on an intricate exploration of the sexual practices and symbolic representations prevalent among various primitive cultures. Through a meticulous ethnographic lens, Brown delves into the historical and anthropological landscape, analyzing how sex and worship intertwine to form the bedrock of social cohesion and spiritual beliefs in these societies. The literary style is both academic and accessible, blending rigorous analysis with vivid descriptions, offering readers an engaging foray into the complexities of human sexuality and its profound ritualistic significance. Sanger Brown, a noted anthropologist and cultural historian, was profoundly influenced by his extensive fieldwork in indigenous communities and his desire to challenge prevailing Victorian moral attitudes toward sexuality. His academic background, coupled with a passion for understanding the nuances of human behavior and belief systems, motivated him to publish this seminal work. Brown's insights reflect a broader intellectual context of the early 20th century, where scholars began to reevaluate the intersections of culture, psychology, and sexuality. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in anthropology, cultural studies, and the history of human sexuality. Brown's nuanced interpretations not only deepen our understanding of primitive societies but also invite contemporary reflections on the modern implications of sexual symbolism and worship. |

| worship phallus: The Phallus Alain Daniélou, 1995-11-01 Beginning with an overview of the symbolism of creative forces in general, The Phallus first examines the representation of male fertility in such forms as the menhirs or standing stones of prehistoric Europe; the Mahalinga and Svayambhu of India; and the ancient Greek Omphalos. The second part of the book surveys the presence of ithyphallic gods in archaic shamanistic religions (the Lord of the Animals), the Greek pantheon (Hermes, Priapus), and the Hindu deities (Ardhanarishvara, the androgyne). Danielou also explores the role of Shaivist and Dionysian initiatory rites in bringing men into communion with the creative forces of life. Illustrated throughout with photographs and line drawings of European and Indian art, The Phallus celebrates the expression of the masculine in the religious traditions of East and West. Phallic imagery, in one form or another, may be found in the artistic traditions of virtually every world culture since prehistoric times. Alain Danielou here unveils the religious impulse underlying art that at first glance seems to have no purpose beyond the erotic. |

| worship phallus: The Concept of Rudra-Śiva Through the Ages Mahadev Chakravarti, 1986 The present book throws new light on the gradual development of the concept of Rudra-Siva in his animal, phallic and human forms, since the days of the Harappa Civilization. It examines how Siva, the composite Aryan-non-Aryan Divinity, was not only admitted but was ultimately crowned with an exalted position in the Brahmanical pantheon; how the bull once identified with the deity, was regulated to the position of a vahana; how phallism was related to Saivism and also how Siva, in his different forms, was represented in early Indian Art and the Art of Further India. The wide range and depth of the author's research fills a vital gap in the subject and his treatment of the entire subject is unique. This methodical study on Siva also contains an exhaustive bibliography. |
| worship phallus: Irregular Connections Andrew P. Lyons, Harriet Lyons, 2004-12-01 Irregular Connections traces the anthropological study of sex from the eighteenth century to the present, focusing primarily on social and cultural anthropology and the work done by researchers in North America and Great Britain. Andrew P. and Harriet D. Lyons argue that the sexuality of those whom anthropologists studied has been conscripted into Western discourses about sex, including debates about prostitution, homosexuality, divorce, premarital relations, and hierarchies of gender, class, and race. Because sex is the most private of activities and often carries a high emotional charge, it is peculiarly difficult to investigate. At times, such as the late 1920s and the last decade of the twentieth century, sexuality has been a central concern of anthropologists and focal in their theoretical formulations. At other times the study of sexuality has been marginalized. The anthropology of sex has sometimes been one of the main faces that anthropology presented to the public, often causing resentment within the discipline. Andrew P. Lyons is an associate professor of anthropology at Wilfrid Laurier University. Harriet D. Lyons is an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Waterloo. |

The idea of an Aryan race became an important feature of imperial culture in the nineteenth century, feeding into debates in Britain, Ireland, India, and the Pacific. The global reach of the Aryan idea reflected the complex networks that enabled the global reach of British Imperialism. Tony Ballantyne charts the shifting meanings of Aryanism within these 'webs' of Empire. |

| worship phallus: The Shrinking Goddess Mineke Schipper, 2024-07-16 Wild and strange stories have circulated about the female body since antiquity. While legends of poisoned hymens and fanged vaginas circulated, the first female figure – Mother Earth – was recreated as a crooked rib. Ranging from the absurd to the empowering, these myths not only survive but continue to wield power today. The Shrinking Goddess brings together myths about the female form and traces the subsequent male efforts to 'tame' it. Mineke Schipper examines how women's bodies have been represented since records began – the first Venus and vulva figures date to 40,000 BCE – and around the world. Drawing together the vast reservoir of myths, proverbs, art, science and scripture that shape how women are seen in the present day, Schipper reclaims the female body as a source of power. Readers of Angela Davis, Mary Beard, Audre Lorde, Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer will want to read this book. |
