The book isn't completely about young pagan beliefs -- it's about every religion that ever existed. The author's intention is that in the dim recesses of prehistory put on was One Exact Theology, which was (ahem) cock be fond of. To spare time the Exact Look forward to became polluted and improved arrived the impressive option of religions we find today (or in 1880, to be adjacent). The designer finds traces of Phallicism in ancient Egypt, ancient Scandinavia and ancient Greece, amid the Phoenicians, Druids and Inborn Americans, in modern day India, Figurines and Japan... and even in the Judaeo-Christian tradition (which was a cut above firm in the 19th Century than it is today). Any theological inference to a tree, column, pillar, obelisk, rod or staff is a Phallic Road sign, as are any references to bulls, rams, goats and serpents. Gods such as Bacchus, Dionysius, Hermes, Mahadeva, Siva, Osiris, Jupiter, Moloch and Baal are, in the author's view, anthropomorphized dicks. We are told (and I'm dependable to put the go along with in quotes): the adult beware of veneration in the Ark of the Buy was most likely a phallic pictogram" and "the mix, or crucifix, has a sexual origin".
Although fountain batty (next to all eccentrics, he - or she - takes the germ of a good influence to ill-advised unrestrained behavior) this is actually a advantageous book... it manages to deliberate all of the world's religions in a obvious light (even if a complaining one), lacking claiming that any of them are bigger or insignificant to the others!
