The roots of this, in Sweden, are ground and made into bread. MILK-THISTLE. Carduus marianus. The young leaves in the spring, cut close to the root with part of the stalks on, are said to be good boiled. MOREL. Phallus esculentus. The morel grows in wet banks and moist pastures.
The dismemberment, with final loss of the phallus, will be clearly recognized as a castration. The tearing out of the eye is similarly to be regarded as emasculation. This motive is found as self-punishment for incest, at the close of the Œdipus drama. Only in this manner could the phallus from which the new age originated, escape from Typhon.
The phallic significance of the snake is, of course, familiar enough; the snake as a poisonous terrible animal indicates, however, a special phallus, a libido burdened with anxiety. Jung, who has copious material with which to treat this symbolism, calls the snake really a “negative phallus,” the phallus forbidden with respect to the mother, etc.
And, if anyone uttered an exclamation, they would shrug their shoulders in pity. One evening as they were dreaming about the dogmas of the Druids, the abbé cautiously stole in. Immediately they showed the museum, beginning with the church window; but they longed to reach the new compartment that of the phallus. The ecclesiastic stopped them, considering the exhibition indecent.
There are frequent references to certain of the gods of the Ancients being represented in priapic attitudes, the phallus being the prominent and most important attribute. Thus Hermes, in Greece, was placed at cross-roads, with phallus prominent. This was comparable to the phallus on Japanese highways.
"My neck is the neck of the divine goddess Isis. "My hands are the hands of Ba-neb-Tattu. "My fore-arms are the fore-arms of Neith, the Lady of Saïs. "My backbone is the backbone of Suti. "My phallus is the phallus of Osiris. "My chest is the chest of the Mighty one of terror. "My belly and back are the belly and back of Sekhet. "My buttocks are the buttocks of the Eye of Horus.
It is often phallic, and we are told by Hargrave Jennings that the serpent possibly was added to the male and female symbols to represent desire. Thus, the Hindu women carried the lingam in procession between two serpents; and in the procession of Bacchus the Greeks carried in a casket the phallus, the egg, and a serpent. The Greeks also had a composite or ideal figure.
Scaliger says that he saw at Rome, in the palace of a cardinal, a similar statue, whose phallus had served as a sign post. All the human part of these Priapi were invariably painted red.
They poured wine over the extremity of the Phallus, which was dyed red by it. This wine being afterwards collected and allowed to turn sour, was called the holy vinegar, and, according to the author from whom this account is taken, was applied by women to a most extraordinary purpose; but what that purpose was we are not informed, and therefore can only guess it.
It was paid to the Phallus by the Asiatics, to Priapus by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, to Baal-Peor by the Canaanites and idolatrous Jews. The figure is seen on the fascia which runs round the circus of Nismes, and over the portal of the Cathedral of Toulouse, and several churches of Bordeaux."
