Cultus Arborum: A Descriptive Account of Phallic Tree Worship - Cultus Arborum: A Descriptive Account of Phallic Tree Worship was published anonymously in 1890, although the author was most probably Hargrave Jennings, a British Freemason, Rosicrucian, author on occultism and esotericism, and amateur student of comparative religion. The book explores the origins and practise of phallic tree worship and covers subjects such as the ceremonies connected with tree worship, invocations and rituals, tree worship in different parts of the world, such as Persia, Iceland, and Egypt, Irish superstitions, the different types of trees used in worship, sacred trees in the Old Testament, and more.The subject is an extensive one, and there still remain sections of it which have not yet been dealt with, but which may be exhibited in future volumes. Although in the compass of the present work it has been impossible to treat the subject in anything like an exhaustive manner, a great deal of matter has been incorporated in its closely-printed pages which, attentively perused, will enable the reader to form a just opinion of what is included in the title.At the end of this volume we have endeavoured to give the student of Ancient Faiths a Bibliography of works on or connected with Phallism.Being the first attempt of the kind, omissions will doubtless be found, although there are nearly five hundred references given, yet even as it is, it will prove of great use and advantage to those making researches. It is divided into two classes-Phallic works, and books bearing more or less upon the subject.
