| Summary | "Phallic Worship" by Hargrave Jennings is a scholarly account that delves into the ancient practice of sex worship and phallicism, written in the late 19th century. The work explores the history and symbolism of phallic worship across various ancient cultures, connecting it with broader themes of nature and sexuality. Jennings seeks to provide an understanding of how these practices were intertwined with religious rites and societal norms, emphasizing their significance in ancient civilizations. The opening of "Phallic Worship" establishes a framework for exploring the multifaceted nature of sex worship in antiquity, outlining the prevalence of such practices among various ancient peoples. It introduces the concept of phallicism as a veneration of reproductive powers, tracking its evolution from simple and pure beginnings to more corrupt rituals often exploited by priesthoods for power. The author notes the commonality of these themes across diverse cultures, including references to phallic symbols and practices that highlight the interplay between sexuality, religion, and the natural world. The foundation laid in the introductory sections sets the stage for a deeper investigation into the myriad forms of phallic symbolism throughout history.
