The ancients worshipped the male sexual organ. Known as the phallus, simply for the regenerative principle in which it possessed. The sexual organs were revered by the ancients as the prime emblems of the Creator, the ultimate symbol representing the One we owe Life itself to. Dive into this short, sweet, and extremely rare title authored by Hargrave Jennings, a known British Freemason and Rosicrucian. Originally printed for PRIVATE CIRCULATION. EXTREMELY SCARCE PUBLICATION
“These emblems were of a pure and sacred character, and used at a time when the prophets and priests spoke plain speech, understood by a rude and primitive people; although doubtless by the common people the emblems were worshipped themselves, even as the present day in Roman Catholic countries the more ignorant, in many cases, actually worship the images and pictures themselves, while to the higher and more intelligent minds they are only symbols of a hidden object of worship. In the same manner, the concealed meaning or hidden truth was to the ignorant and rude people of early times entirely unknown, while the priests and the more learned kept studiously concealed the meaning of the ceremonies and symbols. Thus, the primitive idea became mixed with profligate, debased ceremonies, and lascivious rites, which in time caused the more pure part of the worship to be forgotten. But Phallicism is not to be judged from these sacred orgies, any more than Christianity from the religious excitement and wild excesses of a few Christian sects during the Middle Ages.”
