"Phallism", circa 1892, is one of the most in depth academic studies of phallus symbolism created in the pre-modern era. Focusing on the Hindu tradition, Tibetan lore, Mesoamerican spirituality, and more, the work explains the pagan origins of the cross and then-modern debate over the meaning of cross symbolism in Egypt. Filled with secondary sources and anecdotal tales from the height of the British Empire, "Phallism" is an invaluable spiritual work for the occultist, and an invaluable anthropological compilation for the academic.
