The book focuses specifically on the worship of the generative powers, which refers to the fertility and procreation deities that were worshipped during this time.

He also discusses the role that these deities played in medieval society, including their connection to agriculture, sexuality, and the family. Throughout the book, Wright draws on a wide range of sources, including literary texts, artwork, and archaeological evidence, to provide a comprehensive picture of the worship of the generative powers during the Middle Ages. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in medieval history, religion, or cultural studies.The author presents this book on the origin and history of the worship of Priapus among the ancients. This worship, which was just a part of the generative powers, appears to have been the most ancient of the superstitions of the human race. It has prevailed more or less among all known peoples before the introduction of Christianity and so deeply it seems to have been implanted in the human nature that it continued to exist, accepted and often encouraged, by the medieval clergy.
