"Phallic Miscellanies" by Hargrave Jennings is a scholarly work that delves into the topic of ancient and modern sex worship, particularly focusing on phallic worship within the religious practices of India. Written in the late 19th century, this book serves as a supplementary text to Jennings' previous works on phallism and nature worship, providing an intricate examination of symbols and rituals from Hinduism and how they connect to broader themes of procreation and divinity. At the start of the work, Jennings sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Linga, a significant object in Hindu worship symbolizing creation and fertility. He describes how the Linga puja, or worship of the phallic symbol, is a long-standing tradition in India, involving various rituals performed by devotees seeking blessings for fertility and marital success. The author begins to examine the significance of the Linga alongside an exploration of other deities like Siva within the Hindu pantheon, illustrating a complex interplay of mythology, symbolism, and cultural practices related to phallic worship. This opening portion establishes a foundation for the in-depth discussions that follow, centering on the historical and spiritual dimensions of phallic reverence in Indian religions.
