It's a chode. Don't they know penises are supposed to be more elongated?

It was this "downward flow of light" from proto Saturn and its placental cloud which the ancients likened to the god's single leg and/or his penis.
In some instances, the god himself was considered to have been nothing more than the phallus of Creation.
Consequently, one of the meanings of the name of the Hindu Creator, "Prajapati", is the male organ of generation. More revealing is a passage in the Linga Purana which has been interpreted to mean that:
>"Pradhana, the primary unevolved matter, the cause of the universe is Linga itself. At the root of Linga the creator Brahma is stationed."
Here not only do we again find a reference to the placental cloud as the "un-evolved matter," but its direct association with the linga, that is phallus, as also with Brahma who (is also a personification of the Saturnian Sun) originated as an avatar of Saturn.
Curiously, in the "Bhagavata Purana", there is presented the image of a cosmic porpoise with the planet Saturn itself projected on its generative organ.
Of most importance is the fact that, in some cases, a phallus "sculptured in granite, marble, or ivory," which used to be kept "in the inmost recess, or sanctuary" of Hindu temples, was "surmounted by a golden star."
A similar colossal phallus was presented by Ptolemy Philadelphus to the temple of Osiris in Alexandria.

Like that of other ancient nations, Hindu astronomy is inseparable from mythology.
This particular mythology, however, continues to thrive as the basis of Hindu religion.
In a way, it can therefore be said that, among the Hindus, planetary worship is practiced to this day and not only in an indirect way.
Here I would like to remind you of that passage from the "Linga Purana" which admonishes that:
>"the worship of the planets should be pursued by good men."
Moreover, the reason behind this admonition is the warding-off of evil at times of planetary "harassment."
in these modern times, not many practicing Hindus are even aware of these words, and few, if any, among them actually practice planetary worship, is besides the point.
Like the gods of other nations, Vedic deities are known by more than one name or epithet as so, also, are the planets.
Thus, one of the names for the Sun in Sanskrit is "Arka".
But then we find that three related designations for the planet Saturn in the same language are "Arki"; "Arka-putra" and "Arkatanayah".
Both "Arka-putra" and "Arkatanayah" translate as "son of the Sun."
Arkaja, which means "sun-born" can also be applied to the planet Saturn as so, also, can "Arkanandana".
So, once again, we find the planet Saturn bearing a name which is shared by the Sun

also strictly speaking, Brahma was not a Vedic deity. He more properly belongs to that corpus of Hindu lore known as Brahmanic mythology.
He was proclaimed the first of the Devas, usually said to mean "gods," but which properly translates as "shining ones".
Here it should be noted that the Sanskrit adjective "brahmanya" means "relating [or belonging] to Brahma.
Brahmanyah, however, is yet another epithet of the planet Saturn.

tl;dr Poojeets are also Saturn worshippers.

>>508473027
As Brahmanyah, Saturn can therefore be said to be Brahma's planet.
In fact, while Indologists may find it difficult to accept, Brahma has long been identified as Saturn by certain sages of Hindu religion itself.
these sages consider Brahma to be the "true sun", which is the same as saying that, to them, it is Saturn, and not the present solar orb, that is the real "sun."
Since even these sages can see that this is absurdly not so, we can only assume, on the strength of what we have learned, that this dictum must have been believed to stem from ancient lore.
But how could Saturn have been to ancient man what the Sun is to us today?
As any work on Indian mythology will assert, Surya is not only the name of the god of the Sun but is the most common Sanskrit name of the Sun itself.
There are, however, lines of evidence which indicate that Surya, too, was originally Saturn, the least of which not being the reference to Surya as graha Surya, that is the planet Sun.
as in the case of the Egyptian Ra, Surya is described as having motions and characteristics which do not fit those of the Sun.
Thus, to give but one example, Surya is said to have occupied samanam dhama, which means "the same place of rising and setting."
Everyone knows that the Sun does not rise and set in the same place.
Let me, however, be a little more specific. Surya is also termed Suraj.
But Suraj, again, is yet another name for the planet Saturn.
So that, yet one more time, we can see that Saturn and the Sun once shared the same name as, among the Hindus, at least in Sanskrit, they still do.
another Sanskrit name for the planet Saturn is Grahanayakah, which means "chief, or leader, of the planets."
But, again, Grahanayakah is also one of the names bestowed on the Sun.

We have already seen the Indic Brahma, known as the "father of gods and men," identified as Saturn through the name Brahmanyah.
In that respect, it is noteworthy that Brahma is considered to have been the first of the Devas, which term is understood as meaning "deities," but which, in effect, means the "shining ones," an apt term for heavenly bodies.
It is therefore telling that Brahma, too, was described as having originally been alone:
>"He hovers, alone, above everything."
An epithet, usually translated to mean "Lord of Creatures," by which Brahma was known is "Prajapati".
This is so true that, in the Vishnu Purana, Prajapati is given as an additional name for Brahma.
Like other Saturnian deities, Prajapati was also referred to as "the One God."
Prajapati's identity as Saturn does not solely rely on that of Brahma.
As the 11th century A.D. Arabian scholar, Al-Biruni, discovered during his travels in India, the Lord of Saturn is called Prajapati, pure and simple.
It should therefore not surprise us that, in distinction to Brahma, who was actually his own self, Prajapati was believed to have originally ruled alone.
This we find in the Satapatha Brahmana which, among other matters, states that "Prajapati alone, indeed, existed here in the beginning."

Would you worship them, anon?

Natural formations that resemble Dicks have long attracted the attention of primitive societies as well as members of civilized races.
One such phallic rock, an artificially enhanced natural formation, and now a prominent stop for tourists, is Kauleonanahoa, in the forest above the Kalaupapa Cliffs, on the Hawaiian island of Molokai.
It has, of course, long been known that phallic worship was an institution that stretches back into the mist of time.
In certain parts of the world, especially in India, it continues to this day as we see.
Phallic idols, actually have been found all over Stone Age Europe.
One found in a Neolithic temple on Malta, and now housed in the archaeological museum in Valletta, reproduces the phallus in triplicate form.
Triplicate phallic images were also found at Alatri and on the Pelasgic walls at Grottatore.
Until recently, Western sentiments, especially those harbored by abrahamic faiths, had long been shocked by the veneration of the male reproductive organ.
This is so true that, in 1891, a Hindu boy was flogged in Madras, India, by order of the British Police Magistrate
>"for exhibiting an indecent figure in public view."
As Count Eugene Goblet d'Alviella recounted:
>"What he had explicitly done was to set up, in accordance with universal custom, a phallic image before a house that was in the course of erection ... The image was indeed set up before [the house] as a symbol of the Deity"

>>508474894
Those of Western religious sentiment would be even more shocked to learn that the Hebrew EL, the very same god who, under the name ELohim, is believed to have created the world, was said to have been equipped with a long penis.
What was this sacred virile member attached to god?
Among the Egyptians, the phallus of Ra was highly honored.
This is indicated in the praises glorifying the god.
As it was written:
>"Who is this?"
And the answer is given:
>"It is Osiris.''
But, as an alternative, which, in this case, as in many others, boils down to the same thing, the passage continues with:
>"Others, however, say that his name is Ra, and that the god who dwelleth in Amentet is the phallus of Ra, wherewith he had union with himself. "
The most popular ithyphallic god of Egypt was Min.
not enough is known about this deity to reach a definite conclusion concerning his genesis.
The God Shu, its interesting to note that this god was inter alia lauded as "Lord of the Phallus. "
In the Pyramid Texts, he is actually equated with the male organ of Atum (a Saturnian Personification).
What is even more revealing, however, is the fact that, in some depictions, the heaven sustaining Shu is replaced with the phallus of Geb.
It is then evident that the phallus of the deity was itself believed to have acted as the support of heaven much in the same manner that the single leg of the god did.
As Diodorus reported, it was not only the Egyptians who consecrated "that member" in their initiatory rites, but quite a few other nations.

>>508475444
The antiquity of the phallus as an amulet is shown by the number found among Egyptian sculptures.
No visitor to Egyptian antiquities needs to be told this.
The phallus was the most sacred amulet worn by the vestal virgins of ancient Rome.
Moreover, we find that Sesostris of the early twelfth dynasty, who conquered Asia, set up memorials of a phallic nature among the people who had acted bravely.
In the ruins of Zimbabwe, in Central Africa, are to be seen phalli carved upon stone, similar to those found in Sardinia, which are said to be Phoenician.
Again, numbers of phallic amulets in bronze are found in the earliest Etruscan tombs.

Mythologists have always assumed that phallic worship arose out of the ancients recognition of the male member as a generative organ, and thus worthy of sacred honor as a symbol of fertility.
Nor is this entirely a modern view, as evidenced by the writings of Diodorus.
That this is a logical assumption there is no need to tell.
As an example, the lower part of a statue of Dionysos, at Phigaleia, was covered with leaves of bay and ivy. it was surmised that this was "possibly" done in order to conceal the god's erect phallus and if so, we may conjecture that a late moralistic intention had been read into an early fertility charm.

Such musings, by modems and ancients alike, do not, however, go to the root of the problem, especially when the subject itself is not even viewed as a problem.
A problem, on the other hand, does present itself when indepth research reveals that the divine phallus was believed to have acted as a supporting post for heaven or the sky.

>>508475895
In ancient Greece the cult of Dionysos was a phallic one, this is evidenced by temples, sculptures of phalli and descriptions of processions carrying huge phalli as late as the second century BC.
Brimming with virility, he was the god most favored by women.
The abundance of phalli in Dionysiac festivals, in sculptures near the temples, on herms used as signposts on the roads and before th e doors of houses suggest that the ancient Greeks were no less obsessed by cock magic than were the Old Europeans.
The Lenaia festival held in January was preceded by a Rural Dionysia in which phalli were carried in procession.
Broken stone phalli, representative of the god himself, can still be seen at the sanctuary of Dionysos, on the sacred island of Delos, to the mirth, embarrassment, and/or shock of visiting tourists.
But what is of greater importance is that the same Dionysos, still decked with ivy-sprays, was elsewhere represented by a post dressed up as the god. Dionysos represented an aspect of the Saturnian deity.

>>508476667
The nature of what this divine phallus really was comes to us from Phlius.
There, a winged aged man with phallus erect was once depicted on the gates of the city.
This being was known as phaos rhyentes.
What is interesting, however, is that, according to Hippolytus, phaos rhyentes was said by the Sethians to mean "the downward flow of light from above."
"For there was a ray coming from above from that perfect light held fast in the dark, dreadful , bitter, filthy water. .. "
The "perfect light" from which this ray of light emerged was a dim remembrance of the Saturnian sun "held fast" in the centre of its placental cloud, remembered here as "dark, dreadful, bitter, filthy water" - the "mud," or "slime," or mot of the Phoenicians.
That this was a reminiscence of the ruach of Genesis is then indicated when Hippolytus continues by stating that this was "the spirit of light "rushing over the water."
And since this ray was remembered as "coming from above," it stands to reason that the water in question was also somewhere above, presumably in the sky.

>A similar colossal phallus was presented by Ptolemy Philadelphus to the temple of Osiris in Alexandria.
also this, too, was crowned in gold and surmounted by a golden star, which was "carried in a splendid chariot in the midst of religious processions."
The meaning these last two items have for us is that, in each case, the golden star surmounting the vertical phallus served as a cogent symbol of the proto Saturnian sun seen atop the fiery axis in the sky.

The basic and most common object of worship in Shiva shrines is the phallus or lingam.
This form of the god can be traced back to the worship of primitive stone symbols as early as the neolithic period.
Already at Mohenjo-Daro the lingam occurs, side by side with other important symbols similar to those employed in later Hindu iconography.
it represents the generative male energy of the universe, and is symbolic of the great god Shiva.
Just as along the roads of Greek and Roman antiquity there might be seen images of Priapus at every field's end, in other words, practically everywhere, so in India today we may come upon those little cylindrical boundary marks, more or less ornamented, which are the lingas.
Shiva's lingam was also worn as a symbol by the Lingayat members of the Saiva sect.
The symbol continues to be venerated in various Hindu shrines and temples.
One of the most famous of these is the eleventh century Kandarya Mahadeva temple, itself part of the Khajraho complex in north-central India.
The exterior richness of this temple is complimented with over 900 carvings depicting various deities, demons, dancing girls, and animals.
The building was meant both as a dwelling for Shiva and as "a symbolic microcosm of the created world."
Its interior is somewhat darkened, as most Hindu temples are, but still decorated with intricate figures, mostly of an erotic nature, since Hindus hold that the sexual act symbolizes "the unity of the cosmos."
The congregation is forbidden to enter the Holy of Holies, known as the Womb House.
It was in this inner sanctuary that Shiva's lingam, constructed of marble, was housed.
The cosmic connection was then initiated when the temple was consecrated, during which a priest would climb to the top of the temple's highest pinnacle and "pierce" it "to create an aperture, representing the eye of the temple opening to the celestial sphere.

Small figures of the lingam, left by pilgrims as offerings at the monastery of Jangambari Math in central Benares, cover an entire courtyard with many others from previous devotees buried beneath them.
Over 60k of these figures have been counted.
The shitskins congregate at this monastery for the annual feast dedicated to the marriage of Shiva.
During the ceremony the priest bedecks the main lingam with flowers, anoints it with clarified butter, and washes it with milk and water.

Outside of India, Shivas lingam received veneration in Indo-China, especially during the Cham kingdom, as well as in Indonesia, especially in Java.
In Java, Shiva's lingam is fashioned after its Cambodian prototype, and quite often the image is set upon a richly ornamented pedestal to suit its religious importance.

Evidence that this worship extensively prevailed will be found in many countries, both in ancient and modem times.
It occurs in ancient Egypt, in India, in Syria, in Babylon, among the Assyrians, in Persia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Germany, Scandinavia, and among the Gaul.
According to Ptolemy, the phallus was the object of religious worship among the Assyrians and also among the Persians.
In Syria, Baal-Peor was represented with a phallus in his mouth, according to St. Jerome."

In ancient Rome, according to Augustine, "the sexual organ of man was consecrated in the temple of Liber."
And in the month of April, a Roman festival in honor of Venus took place in which a phallus was carried in procession in a cart.
Among the Teutons and Scandinavia, the god Fricco, corresponding to the Priapus of the Romans, was adored under the form of a phallus; a similar god under a similar symbol was adored in Spain, whose name was Hortanes.
In China, too, offerings of stone phalli were still being presented in his day in what he calls a Buddhist temple in Peking.
Also, in Japan, phalli are sold in shops to be purchased mostly by women who take them home and dress them up, much like dolls, to be kept in family shrines.
Phallic worship was also practiced in the Americas, "particularly at Panuco," in Mexico, as documented by one of the companions of Hernando Cortez, where phalli were preserved in temples and adored.
