Phallicism

""Phallicism: Celestial and Terrestrial; Heathen and Christian and Its Connection with the Rosicrucians and the Gnostics and Its foundation in Buddhism"" is a book written by Hargrave Jennings. The book explores the concept of phallicism, which is the worship of the phallus as a symbol of creation and fertility. The author examines the history of phallic worship across different cultures, including ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, India, and China. The book also discusses the connection between phallicism and various religious and mystical traditions, such as Rosicrucianism, Gnosticism, and Buddhism. The author argues that phallicism is a universal spiritual practice that has been misunderstood and suppressed by mainstream religions. The book provides a detailed analysis of the symbolism and mythology associated with phallicism, as well as its spiritual and philosophical implications.
