Nature Worship

An Account of Phallic Faiths and Practices, Ancient and Modern; Including the Adoration of the Male and Female Powers in Various Nations and the Sacti Puja of Indian Gnosticism (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Nature Worship: An Account of Phallic Faiths and Practices, Ancient and Modern; Including the Adoration of the Male and Female Powers in Various Nations and the Sacti Puja of Indian Gnosticism Mr. Gerald Massey in his Natural Genesis, speaking Of the origin of the phallic cult, says: According to Theal, the African historian and collector of folk tales, the Kafiirs have no Sabbath, and keep none of the sacred seasons of periodic recurrence, com mouly celebrated by a festival. But from time immemorial, they have preserved the primitive custom of rejoicing at the first appearance of the menstrual period of the female. This they celebrate in what is their sole festival. At that time of a girl's life, all the young women in her neighbourhood meet for rejoicing, at which they celebrate the festival of pubescence. These young women are then distributed among the men who are selected to lie with them, but who are prohibited from sexual intercourse; and if the trespass be committed the men are fined - a primitive mode Of paying a price which was afterwards continued in the compensation enforced at the time of marriage. We still keep the birthday and celebrate the coming of age at a fixed period of life; but the festival Of puberty is extant to show that the earliest birthday ever memorialized was not the day on which the child was born into the world, but the time of rebirth into womanhood and manhood. When applied to the male, this period Of pubescence suggested the birthday of the boy who was at this time admitted as a young man into the totemic tribe 3 hence the typical 'second birth' celebrated in the mysteries when the first had also been acknowledged.

Excerpt from The Political Writings of Harold D. Lasswell: Psychopathology and Politics; Politics: Who Gets What, When, How; Democratic Character When we contemplate the ebb and flow of public life, it is possible to make sense Of it as marking the rise or fall Of social classes, or skill groups, or attitude groups, or personality types. If we think of politics from a manipulative standpoint, it is appropriate to consider the strategy and tactics of handling violence, goods, symbols, and practices. The succinct and abundant examples used in the Politics made it comprehensible to students and laymen alike.

The History of Philosophy in Islam (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The History of Philosophy in Islam Arabs now assumed everywhere the leading position. They formed a military aristocracy; and the most striking proof of their influence is the fact, that conquered nations with an old and superior civilization accepted the language of their conquerors. Arabic became the language of Church and State, of Poetry and Science. But while the higher offices in the State and the Army were administered by Arabs in preference, the care of the Arts and Sciences fell, first of all, to non-arabs and men of mixed blood. In Syria school-instruction was received from Christians. The chief seats of intellectual culture, however, were Basra and Kufa, in which Arabs and Persians, Muslims, Christians, Jews and Magians rubbed shoulders together. There, where trade and industry were thriving, the beginnings of secular science in Islam must be sought for, beginnings them selves due to hellenistic-christian and Persian influences.
