gaels. the maypole, which we still recognise today, once symbolised the ancient cosmic tree and was the focus of fertility dances whose origins are unknown. red, blue, green, yellow and white ribbons, representing the union of earth and sky, winter and summer, water and fire, were entwined and the spiralling dance stirred up the life force and fertility of the earth. the maypole formed a central phallic symbol that could be 40 foot high and echoed the rising potency of the sun, or corn, god and the growing corn. fires were lit and it was believed that the height the young men could leap over the fires would indicate the height the corn would grow and, since for safety reasons this deed was performed without clothes, the festival was one of joyous, unbridled sexuality. in modern times, thi

ate maturity; the father who has proved his manhood, not the untried virgin male. the symbolic language speaks plainly, and the lingam of the hindus and the phallus of the greeks are the male generative organ in their respective tongues. the standing-stone, the tower, and the uplifted rod all signify the same virile member at its most potent. 10. it must not be thought, however, that chokmah is a phallic or sexual symbol and nothing else. it is primarily a dynamic or positive symbol, for maleness is a form of dynamic force, just as femaleness is a form of static, latent, or potential force, inert till stimulus be given. the whole is greater than the part, and chokmah and binah are wholes of which sex is a part. in understanding the relationship which sex has to polarising force as a whole

ignation of the mighty archangel michael to hod again gives us food for thought. he is always represented as trampling upon a serpent and piercing it with a sword, and frequently holds in his hand a pair of balances, symbolic of equilibrium and expressive of the same idea as the yetziratic words "mean of the primordial" 33. the serpent upon which the great archangel treads is primitive force, the phallic serpent of the freudians; and this glyph teaches us that it is the restrictive "prudence" of hod which "shortens" primitive force and prevents it from overflowing its boundaries. the fall, be it remembered, is represented on the tree by the great serpent with seven heads which overpasses the bounds set for it and raises its crowned heads even unto daath. it is very interesting to observe t

uctive energy. among the traditions and monuments of nearly every country of the globe are to be found traces of a sacred tree--a tree of life. in various countries there appear two traditional trees, the one typical of the continuation of physical life, the other representing spiritual life, or the life of the soul. after the age of pure nature-worship had passed, however, and serpent, fire, and phallic faiths had been introduced, the original signification of the tree, like that of all other religious emblems, became considerably changed. through its energies, or life-giving properties, existence had long been maintained, and for this reason, as has already been observed, it became an object of veneration; but, after the reproductive power in man had risen to the dignity of a supreme god

hrough its energies, or life-giving properties, existence had long been maintained, and for this reason, as has already been observed, it became an object of veneration; but, after the reproductive power in man had risen to the dignity of a supreme god, the tree, to the masses of the people, became a symbol of the physical, life-giving energy in mortals and in animals. in other words, it became a phallic emblem representing the continuation of existence, or the power to reproduce or continue life on the earth. as a religious symbol it became the traditional tree of life. the tree, like nearly every other object in nature, was and still is, in various parts of the world, either female or male, and all ideas connected with it are sacred and closely interwoven with sex. the extent to which tr

e--as also the most appropriate" again the same writer observes "besides the monumental evidence thus furnished of a sacred tree, or tree of life, there is an historical and traditional evidence of the same thing, found in the early literature of various nations, in the customs, and popular usages"[6] as tree- and sun-worship, or the adoration of nature's processes, finally became interwoven with phallic faiths, its history can be understood only after these later developments in the religious stream have been examined, or after the true significance of the serpent as a religious emblem, and the various ideas connected with the traditional tree of life, have been exposed [6] essays on symbolism, p. 84. the palm, the pine, the oak, the banian, or bo, and many other species of trees, have, a

without doubt a relic of the idea once entertained regarding the homa tree. certain writers entertain the opinion that from the use of the sacred homa juice have arisen various religious practices and rites, such for instance as offering oblations to the gods, anointing holy stones, and pouring wine on sacred hills, also the custom of pledging oaths over glasses of wine. the may pole, a decidedly phallic emblem, whose festivals until a very recent time were celebrated in england by the old as well as the young, was usually if not always sprinkled with wine. from the accounts which we have of this sacred emblem and its festival, it seems that no royal edict nor priestly denunciation was sufficient to expel it from the country. according to dr. stevenson, the festival of holi or the worship

d to the fig ceases to be a mystery so soon as we remember that the organs of generation, male and female, had, in process of time, come to be objects of worship and that the fig was the emblem of the latter. a basket of this fruit is said to have been the most acceptable offering to the god bacchus, and therefore, by his devotees, was regarded as the most sacred symbol. the favorite material for phallic devices was the wood of the sacred fig, for it was by rubbing together pieces of it that holy fire was supposed to be drawn from heaven. by holy fire, however, was meant not so much the natural visible element which was kindled, as that subtle substance contained in fire or heat which was supposed to contain the life principle, and which was sent in response to the cravings of pious devote

hips of the gods floating on the surface of the water, and the erect flower arising out of it, the mast thereof. but as the ship was isis or magna mater, the female principle, and the mast in it the male deity, these parts of the flower came to have certain other significations, which seem to have been as well known at samosata as at benares"[21 [21] quoted in anacalypsis. in other words it was a phallic emblem and represented the creative processes throughout nature. susa, the name of the capital of the cushites, or ancient ethiopians, meant "the city of lilies" in india the lotus frequently appears among phallic devices in place of the sacred yoni. from the foregoing pages the fact will be observed that the god of the ancients embodied the two creative agencies throughout the universe, b

it may still be found in the british isles"[22] the vast area over which tree- and plant-worship once extended, and the tenacity with which it still clings to the human race, indicate the hold which, at an earlier age in the history of mankind, it had taken upon the religious feelings of mankind [22] essays on symbolism, p. 118. so closely has this worship become entwined with that of serpent and phallic faiths, that it is impossible to consider it, even in a brief manner, without anticipating these later developments; yet linked with earth- and sun-worship, it doubtless prevailed for many ages absolutely unconnected with the grosser ideas with which it subsequently became associated. chapter iii. sun-worship--female and male energies in the sun "when we inquire into the worship of nations

ory resolve themselves, is the sun, or if not the actual corporeal sun, then the supreme agency within it which was acknowledged as the great creative or life-force- that dual principle which by the early races was recognized as elohim, om, ormuzd, etc, and from which the productive power in human beings, in plants, and in animals was thought to emanate. prior to the development of either tree or phallic worship, the sun as an emblem of the deity had doubtless become the principal object of veneration. ages would probably elapse before primitive man would observe that all life is dependent on the warmth of the sun's rays, or before from experience he would perceive the fact that to its agency as well as to that of the earth he was indebted both for food and the power of motion. however, as

HELENA BLAVATSKY THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY

, and nothing but the truth, subject to the strictest verification. q. before we change the subject, let us have the whole truth on this one. now, some writers have called your teachings "immoral and pernicious" others, on the ground that many so-called "authorities" and orientalists find in the indian religions nothing but sex-worship in its many forms, accuse you of teaching nothing better than phallic worship. they say that since modern theosophy is so closely allied with eastern, and particularly indian, thought, it cannot be free from this taint. occasionally, even, they go so far as to accuse european theosophists of reviving the practices connected with this cult. how about this? a. i have heard and read about this before; and i answer that no more utterly baseless and lying slander

aseless and malicious misrepresentation of our teachings and beliefs is really disgraceful. q. but you cannot deny that the phallic element does exist in the religions of the east? a. nor do i deny it; only i maintain that this proves no more than does its presence in christianity, the religion of the west. read hargrave jenning's rosicrucians, if you would assure yourself of it. in the east, the phallic symbolism is, perhaps, more crude, because more true to nature, or, i would rather say, more naive and sincere than in the west. but it is not more licentious, nor does it suggest to the oriental mind the same gross and coarse ideas as to the western, with, perhaps, one or two exceptions, such as the shameful sect known as the "maharaja" or vallabhacharya sect. q. a writer in the agnostic

the stories concerning castor and pollux, and romulus and remus, may be the result of amplifying the myths of these celestial twins. the symbols of gemini have passed through many modifications. the one used by the arabians was the peacock. two of the important stars in the constellation of gemini still bear the names of castor and pollux. the sign of gemini is supposed to have been the patron of phallic worship, and the two obelisks, or pillars, in front of temples and churches convey the same symbolism as the twins. the sign of sagittarius consists of what the ancient greeks called a centaur--a composite creature, the lower half of whose body was in the form of a horse, while the upper half was human. the centaur is generally shown with a bow and arrow in his hands, aiming a shaft far of

of god, the outward picture of the paradise within. all that is in the invisible archetypal sphere is revealed in the sensible corporeal world by the light of nature. the archetypal and creative mind--first through its paternal foundation and afterwards through secondary gods called intelligences--poured our the whole infinity of its powers by continuous exchange from highest to lowest. in their phallic symbolism the egyptians used the sperm to represent the spiritual spheres, because each contains all that comes forth from it. the chaldeans and egyptians also held that everything which is a result dwells in the cause of itself and turns to that cause as the lotus to the sun. accordingly, the supreme intellect, through its paternal foundation, first created light--the angelic world. out o

celets" to the chinese the turtle was a symbol of longevity. at a temple in singapore a number of sacred turtles are kept, their age recorded by carvings on their shells. the american indians use the ridge down the back of the turtle shell as a symbol of the great divide between life and death. the turtle is a symbol of wisdom because it retires into itself and is its own protection. it is also a phallic symbol, as its relation to long life would signify. the hindus symbolized the universe as being supported on the backs of four great elephants who, in turn, are standing upon an immense turtle which is crawling continually through chaos. the egyptian sphinx, the greek centaur, and the assyrian man-bull have much in common. all are composite creatures combining human and animal members; in

ds with human heads, and carrying in their claws the symbols of immortality, are often shown hovering as emblems of the liberated soul over the mummified bodies of the dead. in egypt the hawk was the sacred symbol of the sun; and ra, osiris, and horns are often depicted with the heads of hawks. the cock, or rooster, was a symbol of cashmala (cadmillus) in the samothracian mysteries, and is also a phallic symbol sacred to the sun. it was accepted by the greeks as the emblem of ares (mars) and typified watchfulness and defense. when placed in the center of a weather vane it signifies the sun in the midst of the four corners of creation. the greeks sacrificed a rooster to the gods at the time of entering the eleusinian mysteries. sir francis bacon is supposed to have died as the result of stu

whiteness of its wool. in many of the pagan mysteries it signified the universal savior, and in christianity it is the favorite symbol of christ. early church paintings show a lamb standing upon a little hill, and from its feet pour four streams of living water signifying the four gospels. the blood of the lamb is the solar life pouring into the world through the sign of aries. the goat is both a phallic symbol and also an emblem of courage or aspiration because of its surefootedness and ability to scale the loftiest peaks. to the alchemists the goat's head was the symbol of sulphur. the practice among the ancient jews of choosing a scapegoat upon which to heap the sins of mankind is merely an allegorical p. 09100 from kircher's sphinx mystagoga. the sacred bull, or apis. the importance of

and dionysia were no more representative of the standards of purity originally upheld by the mysteries than the orgies occasionally occurring among the adherents of christianity till the eighteenth century were representative of primitive christianity. sir william hamilton, british minister at the court of naples, declares that in 1780, isernia, a community of christians in italy, worshiped with phallic ceremonies the pagan god priapus under the name of st. cosmo (see two essays on the worship of priapus, by richard payne knight) father, mother, and child constitute the natural trinity. the mysteries glorified the home as the supreme institution consisting of this trinity functioning as a unit. pythagoras likened the universe to the family, declaring that as the supreme fire of the univer

hristianity has woefully failed in its mission. while declaring man's body to be the living temple of the living god, in the same breath it asserts the substances and functions of this temple to be unclean and their study defiling to the sensitive sentiments of the righteous. by this unwholesome attitude, man's body--the house of god--is degraded and defamed. yet the cross itself is the oldest of phallic emblems, and the lozenge-shaped windows of cathedrals are proof that yonic symbols have survived the destruction of the pagan mysteries. the very structure of the church itself is permeated with phallicism. remove from the christian church all emblems of priapic origin and nothing is left, for even the earth upon which it stands was, because of its fertility, the first yonic symbol. as the

tudents of symbolism, this attribute should speak for itself. the goat is the age-old representative of lust and debauchery, and cernunnos himself, for such is his witch name, is frequently represented as possessing the cloven hooves, horns, and erect phallus of his attribute. his symbolism has much in common with that of the greek god pan with his attendant satyrs and silenoi and the prehistoric phallic giants carved into the turf in various places around england such as the cerne giant and the long man of wilmington. he is the god of the dead, winter, and chaos, and it is from this aspect that he derives his title, the lord of misrule. herein he is characterized as the king of debauchery and licentious frolic. the mid-winter festival of saturnalia is dedicated to him, and witches celebra

e, in the human figure, sex is not so strongly marked in the upper part, the head, as in the body, while yet the countenance can be distinctly classed as of a rnasculine or a feminine type. so, also, on quitting the material plane, sex becomes less marked, or rather appreciable in a different manner, though the distinction of masculine or feminine is retained. and herein is the great error of the phallic religions- that they have transferred the material and gross side of sex to divine and angelic planes, not understanding that it is the lower that is derived from the higher by correlation in material development, and not the higher from the lower. gender, in the usual meaning of the term, belongs to the elemental spirits, kerubic forms, fays, planetary spirits and olympic spirits- also to

encircled with garlands, sculptured in white marble. at le chatelet, in champagne, on the site of a roman town, a colossal phallus was also found. similar objects in bronze, and of smaller dimensions, are so common, that explorations are seldom carried on upon a roman site in which they are not found, and examples of such objects abound in the museums, public or private, of roman antiquities. the phallic worship appears to have flourished especially at nemausus, now represented by the city of n mes in the south of france, where the symbol of this worship appeared in sculpture on the walls of its amphitheatre and on other buildings, in forms some of which we can hardly help regarding as fanciful, or even playful. some of the more remarkable of these are figured in our plates, xxv and xxvi

he phallus forming the tail, and holds both it and the one forming the body with a bridle.2 this bas-relief was taken down in 1829, and is now preserved in the museum of n mes. a still more remarkable monument of this class was found in the course of excavations made at n mes in 1825. it is engraved in our plate xxvi, and represents a bird, apparently intended for a vulture, with spread wings and phallic tail, sitting on four eggs, each of which is designed, no doubt, to represent the female organ. the local antiquarians give to this, as to the other similar objects, an emblematical signification; but it may perhaps be more rightly regarded as a playful conception of the imagination. a similar design, with some modifications, occurs not unfrequently among gallo-roman antiquities. we have e

in that quarter.2 but the roman settlement which occupied the site of the modern city of antwerp appears to have been one of the most remarkable seats of the worship of priapus in the north of gaul, and it continued to exist there till a comparatively modern period. when we cross over to britain we find this worship established no less firmly and extensively in that island. statuettes of priapus, phallic bronzes, pottery covered with obscene pictures, are found wherever there are any extensive remains of roman occupation, as our antiquaries know well. the numerous phallic figures in bronze, found in england, are perfectly identical in character with those 1 see plate xxv, fig. 4. 2 two roman towns, castra vetera and colonia trajana, stood within no great distance of xanten, and ph. houben

ere intended to be those of a dog. all antiquaries of any experience know the great number of obscene subjects which are met with among the fine red pottery which is termed samian ware, found so abundantly in all roman sites in our island. they represent erotic scenes in every sense of the word, promiscuous intercourse between the sexes, even vices contrary to nature, with figures of priapus, and phallic emblems. we give as an example one of the less exceptional scenes of this description, copied from a samian bowl found in cannon street, london, in 1838.3 the lamps, chiefly of earthenware, form another class of objects on which such scenes are frequently portrayed, and to which broadly phallic forms are sometimes given. one of these phallic lamps is here represented, on the same plate wit

same class was found at westerwood fort in scotland, one of the roman fortresses on the wall of antoninus. this monument1 consisted of a square slab of stone, in the middle of which was a phallus, and under it the words ex: voto. above were the letters xan, meaning, perhaps, that the offerer had laboured ten years under the grievance of which he sought redress from priapus. we may point also to a phallic monument of another kind, which reminds us in some degree of the finer sculptures at n mes. at housesteads, in northumberland, are seen the extensive and imposing remains of one of the roman stations on the wall of hadrian named borcovicus. the walls of the entrance gateways are especially well preserved, and on that of the guard-house attached to one of them, is a slab of stone presenting

stations on the wall of hadrian named borcovicus. the walls of the entrance gateways are especially well preserved, and on that of the guard-house attached to one of them, is a slab of stone presenting the figure given in our plate xxviii, fig. 3. it is a rude delineation of a phallus with the legs of a fowl, and reminds us of some of the monuments in france and italy previously described. these phallic images were no doubt exposed in such situations because they were supposed to exercise a protective influence over the locality, or 1 see plate xxviii, fig. 1. horseley, who engraved this monument in his brittania romana, scotland, fig. xix. has inserted a fig-leaf in place of the phallus, but with slight indications of the form of the object it was intended to conceal. we are not aware if

WOLFSON ELLIOT ALEF MEM TAU KABBALISTIC MUSINGS ON TIME TRUTH AND DEATH

t is alef, the mystery, pele,7 that points to the origin that precedes the beginning. the first, which is the head, is shrouded in the veil of the second, the twofold nature of secrecy that lies at the time-root; the two come to fruition by the third letter, gimmel, the bridge that connects alef and beit and thus makes possible the bestowing of the gift, the overflow of divine effulgence from the phallic potency to the vaginal vessel, mythicized as the son connecting father and daughter, the upper and lower manifestations of wisdom. in the fourth chapter, the second of the three lectures, i turn my attention to the letter mem, the thirteenth of the twenty-two letters, situated, according to the rabbinic dictum briefly mentioned above, in the middle of the alphabet. by focusing on the lette

d be gendered as masculine, the lan vital, which, when formulated within a phallocentric frame of reference, will be linked ontically to the fecundity of the membrum virile. there are surely kabbalistic texts that support this interpretative stance: time as pulsating forward and resurging backward or yashar and or hozer, extending light and returning light, in cordoverian terminology is troped in phallic symbolism, whereas space as the curbed receptacle, emptiness gauged by the degree of its vacuity, is gendered as feminine, the capacity to receive that gives structure through imposing limit on the power to overflow. insofar as time is the divine impulse, which is marked by the dialectic of contracting and extending, it stands to reason that it will exhibit both male and female characteris

in zoharic derashot, the tenth of the sefirotic emanations, a point we encountered above in the exposition of a passage in karo s mystical diary. this is the intent as well of the expression moment of the righteous one, itto de-saddiq, that is, the moment, engendered as feminine, belongs to the saddiq, the righteous one, a standard reference in kabbalistic lore to the ninth emanation, yesod, the phallic potency of the divine.245 the moment of the righteous one symbolizes the union of shekhinah and yesod, an incorporation that portends the messianic redemption, which seems to me to be the underlying intent of the comment at the conclusion of rashbi s words, all await this moment, kullehu mehakan lehay itto. with this symbolism in hand we can decode the rest of the homily. if the word et de

one. although the monistic claim is metaphysically true, in the unredeemed world, the mandate for the pious jew is to keep pure and impure separate. when confronting the sacred in the form of the erotic energy of the feminine, the priest must resist the enticement to render the disjuncture of the moment the slashing of the instant conjunctive by blurring the boundaries separating holy and unholy. phallic fecundity and the spatio-temporal enshrining of prayer there is one more layer of meaning to expose in the zoharic homily, one that will help us uncover the most recondite dimension of the ontology of time and the kabbalistic phenomenology of prayer. we have established that the moment, et, corresponds to shekhinah, the feminine potency of the divine. the matter of gender construction, how

he point of perfect symmetry in the homiletical rhetoric exhibited by the zoharic author: nadab and abihu cohabited with gentile women and thereby placed the sign of the covenant in an unworthy place. from this transgression the high priest learns that he can only go into the shrine through the potency of zo t, the letter of the name inscripted on the flesh, the yod, the feminine dimension of the phallic potency, identified as ateret berit.259 exposure of the corona facilitates access to the sacred space in the sacred moment at hand, be-zo t yavo aharon el ha-qodesh, for the site of the covenantal incision is the ontic root of time in its alternating phases of night and day. in this manner, the erotic ecstasy of the instant, whose incisive cut tears the fabric of time, is properly restrain

as one contemporaneous gesture facilitates the meeting-point of time and space, a concurrence that bespeaks the mystery of prayer, which serves as a paradigm for human worship generally. in the words of shalom dov baer schneersohn, the worship of man is to join time and space and to unify them in divinity (lehabber zeman u-maqom u-leyahadam ba-elohut).260 this association of the feminine and the phallic corona accounts for the essential link between time and memory a rmed repeatedly by kabbalists, the masculine (zakhrut) branded as the locus of memory (zikkaron).261 the generative force is envisioned, moreover, as the twenty-two hebrew letters, which are contained within the name yhwh. these letters, in turn, allude to the ten sefirot, the luminous emanations arrayed in various images in

male androgyne being split into discrete masculine and feminine potencies. in the boundlessness of ein sof, there is no autonomous female that stands over and against the male; on the contrary, the potentiality for femininity is contained fully in the male; to be even more specific, it is located ontically in the corona of the phallus (ateret berit),269 not the phallus of the genital area but the phallic potency situated in the head, sometimes identified as the yod in the brain that corresponds to the yod inscribed on the circumcised phallus.270 thus far there is nothing exceptional about dov baer s teaching. the innovative element surfaces in his explication of this motif in terms of time and eternity. the aforementioned eschatological teaching is part of a lengthy account of judaism s mo

l terms the two principles that depict the basic dialectic within the divine nature, according to kabbalistic theosophy:66 the outpouring power of mercy and the constraining force of judgment.67 although not stated explicitly, one may infer that the spring (ma ayan) and garden (gan) betray these characteristics gendered respectively as masculine and feminine.68 wisdom is beit, for it is both the (phallic) spring that overflows and the (vaginal) garden that is watered, projecting-in and openingout, exposed enclosure of enclosed exposure. the doubling of self to be the other stands at the beginning of the way. but what words are appropriate to begin the account of the beginning, ma aseh bere shit, the beginning that calls forth the duplicity of the beginning? god delights with his fullness.6

al nuance. thus, in the dictum of r. levi, the supernal waters are masculine and the lower feminine, the earth that opens to receive the heavenly overflow, which is linked exegetically to isaiah 45:8, is depicted 130 chapter three as a woman opening for the man. 83 if the upper is male and the lower female, the link connecting the two is presumably the phallus. this surmise would go well with the phallic image of the spring to which i have already referred, the spring of wisdom that emerges spontaneously from the rocks and waters the garden in which the king and his world delight. in an alternative mythic formulation, gimmel is the son that bridges the distance between alef and beit, father and daughter.84 gimmel, moreover, occupies a central role in the erotic play of sha ashu a. indeed

the beginning of time in the time of beginning. time, as opposed to eternity, which is marked by the characteristic of having always been, must have a point of beginning, but to begin it cannot have begun without compromising its status as the beginning that will begin. the beginning, then, never ends; yet only that which ends everlastingly never ends. in bahiric imagery, the fount of wisdom the phallic aspect of god, which is symbolized by gimmel, the force that bestows (gomel) goodness ceaselessly overflows from alef to beit, but it is never depleted. each time implies every time, from time to time, timelessly beginning, eternally returning. before alef/ where beginnings end 133 sha ashu a, the father s be/musement for the daughter, the king s contemplation of wisdom, stands at the begi

lights, perhaps intensifies, the erotic quality of sha ashu a that may have been at play from the beginning. the imagery of irrigation, which has come up already, should be interpreted in light of this erotic/contemplative delight. the argument is bolstered by other fragments in the bahiric anthology wherein the image of water spreading over the garden more clearly alludes to sexual union through phallic discharge between male and female.95 here we also have to consider the accounts of the father s desire for and cohabitation with the daughter scattered throughout the textual landscape of bahir. i have discussed this motif elsewhere,96 and i will not reproduce all the relevant texts again; but let me simply emphasize that the father s amusing 134 chapter three himself through the daughter

at the supremacy of the male had been established, the sacred yoni and the lotus were still reverenced as symbols of the most exalted god. finally, when the masculine energy began to be worshipped as the more important agency in reproduction, the female, although still necessary to complete the god-idea, was veiled. among the sect known as lingaites, those who adored the male creative power, man, phallus, and creator in religious symbolism signified one and the same thing in the minds of the people. each represented a tree of life, the beginning and end of all things. tree-worship was condemned by the councils of tours, nantes, and auxerre, and in the xith century it was forbidden in england by the laws of canute, but these edicts seem to have had little effect. in referring to this subjec

INITIATION INTO HERMETICS

in accordance with the systems of the egyptian mysteries i have quoted. in kundalini yoga the scholar is exhorted to meditate on the muladhara center, the seat of which is the coccyx, and to perform pranayama exercises there. if we look closely at the symbolism of the muladharaa chakra we shall find tht this center has the shape of a yellow square with a red triangle in it. the center of it is a phallus wrapped three and a half times with a snake. the muladhara chakra is the first, most primitive and gross center that is symbolized by an elephant placed in a corner together with the respective goddess. this symbolic expression, called laya-yoga in india, is unequivocal and means the key for the first stage of yoga. there are several explanations of this sign, but the correct one is that t

question as to the character of these irish round towers, which are not christian belfries, as dr. george petrie, and others sharing his erroneous beliefs, persistently assure us, but heathen lithoi, or obelisks, in the sense of all those referred to in other parts of this work. they were raised in the early religions, as the objects of a universal worship. all antiquaries know of what object the phallus stands as the symbolical representation. it needs not to be more particular here. the fleur-de-lis is a sacred symbol, descending from the chald ans, adopted by the egyptians, who converted it into the deified scarab the emblem of the moon-god; and it is perpetuated in that mystically magnificent badge of france, the female lily, or lis. all the proofs of this lie concealed in our genealog

you should surround your altar triangle with pinecones, evergreens, and the horns, teeth or hooves of animals which are all especially held sacred to the god. we are not dealing with the gentle mystery and twilit glamour of habondia's womanly enchantments, but rather the darkness of the wildwood, the trampling and snorting of the god of beasts, and those rude and basic facts of life, the rearing phallus and the hungry vulva. to begin this section on lust, here is a small traditional spell, more suitable for performance by the male warlock, to stir up the baser passions in a lady. it is not much in use nowadays for obvious reasons, but it is quaintly illustrative of the use of the principle of direct transmission. though there is no ritual to speak of here, nor any invocation to the horned

o you. the christian fathers contented themselves with reviling and ridiculing the use of these emblems. but as they in the earlier times created no indecent ideas, and were worn alike by the most innocent youths and virtuous women, it will be far wiser for us to seek to penetrate their meaning. not only the egyptians, says diodorus siculus, but every other people that consecrate this symbol (the phallus, deem that they thereby do honor to the active force of the universal generation of all living things. for the same reason, as we learn from the geographer ptolemy, it was revered among the assyrians and persians. proclus remarks that in the distribution of the zodiac among the twelve great divinities, by ancient astrology, six signs were assigned to the male and six to the female principl

to reason that the former possibility is more likely. to what body part, then, does the elongated nun refer? which of the limbs can account for the gender dimorphism linked to this letter? the elongated nun, i propose, is correlated with the membrum virile as the extension of the brain and spinal chord, which are demarcated by the bent nun.37 the contextualization of the male-female binary in the phallus implies that the feminine is ontically derived from and therefore comprehended in the masculine.38 that ontological primacy accorded the masculine is a rmed in the bahir by the assertion that the bent nun is the letter s foundation (kefufah yesod. it is at this seam in the text that the discussion of the open and closed mem with which we began the chapter appears. fittingly, the deliberati

oundation of the world. the contextualization of both genders in the masculine eradicates sexual difference, not by creating the space for genuine otherness either through a rming two irreducible identities (there is both male and female) or by moving beyond dimorphic polarities altogether (there is neither male nor female) but by positing the reign of the same, which i identify as the law of the phallus operative in the semiotic phallocentricism of kabbalistic texts.48 the possible christological resonance is enhanced by the following allusion to jesus in the interpretation of the letter saddi preserved in one of the recensions of otiyyot de-rabbi aqiva, a relatively late midrashic compilation that preserves in rudimentary form older esoteric teachings: saddi, why does it have two heads?

hiric author s intent, can we propose the christological myth as its conceptual underpinning? did the anonymous kabbalist intend to turn an axiom of christian eschatology on its head? did he wish to assert that the real saddiq is not the messianic redeemer born of a barren womb never polluted by seminal fluid but the cosmic foundation, the mundane manifestation of the 146 chapter four androgynous phallus in the sefirotic pleroma, the divine potency ritually embodied in the circumcised flesh of the jewish male semiotically sealed with the inscription of the divine name?52 as i have suggested, this is precisely the metaphoric implication of the double nun in yinnon. we are now in a better position to comprehend the bahiric interpretation of the two shapes of mem. insofar as the essence of me

the foreskin existed without having been circumcised. the lower gradation exists in the form of the foreskin in the letter dalet, within the impoverished one. when the supernal world is within the concealment in the mystery of the letter of the final mem, the lower world is impoverished in the mystery of the letter dalet. when the supernal world opens from the final mem and becomes a he, then the phallus [berit] is rectified and the foreskin is removed. and this is the mystery of in token of abundant authority and of peace without limit upon david s throne and kingdom, that it may be firmly established (isa 9:6. mem rabbah [is derived from] le-marbbeh, and this is the mystery of when the letter mem has abundant authority, for the overflow above is augmented, and it opens up and becomes a h
