Sex has always been sacred, feared, and forbidden; in O. A. Wall's landmark study it becomes something else again: a key to civilisation's deepest symbols. Sex is never merely biological. First published in the early twentieth century, Sex and Sex Worship (Phallic Worship) is a classic sexology book that treats the history of sexuality as a window onto art, science, architecture, and faith. Wall surveys phallic worship and symbolism from ancient world fertility cults and myths to the veiled sexual symbolism in religion that still shapes modern culture. The result is both a bold religion and sex study and a rich reference for occult researchers, comparative religion students, and anyone fascinated by the history of erotic art and ritual. More than a clinical treatise, it captures how earlier generations understood fertility, purity, sin, and the power of the body, preserving a vanished scholarly voice in the history of sexuality and early twentieth century sexology. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for curious general readers, for Golden Bough readers and for comparative religion students alike, Sex and Sex Worship also serves as a vital reference for occult researchers and for anyone tracing ancient world fertility cults, sexual symbolism in religion, and the enduring dialogue between eros and the sacred.
