Phallic Miscellanies / Facts and Phases of Ancient and Modern Sex Worship, as Illustrated Chiefly in the Religions of India

The work compiles descriptions and analyses of phallic or linga worship, focusing on its symbols, rites, and priests mainly in India. It describes the linga and yoni forms, temple practices and puja rituals, variations in size from amulets to monumental stones, associated figures such as the bull Nandi and the god Siva, sectarian divisions and controversial rites, and legends and puranas explaining origins. Comparative chapters consider parallels with Egyptian and classical religions, archaeological and literary evidence, and specialized practices like left‑hand Vamachari rites and Sri‑Chakra ceremonies, with a closing glossary of related Sanskrit terms.
