Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the multifaceted phenomenon of phallic worship throughout history and cultures. The author argues that this practice, often seen as taboo or obscene, has played a significant role in shaping human beliefs and societies. Delving into ancient customs, the book traces the use of symbols like the phallus and kteis to represent generative forces. It examines the sacredness attached to reproductive organs, as well as the subsequent decline and demonization of phallic worship in certain societies. The book also discusses the survival of phallic symbolism in modern-day art, religion, and folklore. Through a comprehensive examination of phallic customs, the author provides a unique perspective on the evolution of human spirituality and the enduring power of symbols in shaping our understanding of the world.
