Phallic Worship a History of Sex and Sexual Rites

George Ryley Scott

"The study of phallicism is the study of religion. In this lies its important." George Ryley Scott

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 and widespread religious impulse.

This exciting work returns sexual cults to the central position they once occupied in many of the world's great religions. The author vigorously argues for the importance of phallicism throughout history and across cultures, from the cult of Priapus in classical times, through witchcrafts and paganism in early Europe, to the sensual religions of the East.
