Die Mysterien des Geschlechts-Kultus

 

 Introduction
 Old life falls and new life rises out of the ruins. In this context,
 I must say that our time is a time of transition. Old ideas, old
 habits, old opinions and principles of living vanish bit by bit, and
 new ideas, new habits, new opinions and principles of living, even new
 religion, seem to grow out of our modern Western cultural ferment. It
 is only natural that this fermentation makes for peculiar bubbles, and
 occasionally a lot of foul smelling gas. I need only point out the
 frightening growth of pornographic literature (which probably reached
 its height in "Karl Hetmann") and the decadence of the performing and
 graphic arts. But actually these are only the side-effects of a growth
 period of a new Weltanschauung, maybe even an entirely new world.
 Despite all these new creations, in fact, there is nothing that is
 absolutely new in the world. The new Weltanschauung, the new customs,
 and the new religion are built upon the old. Even the perversions in
 the excrescences of most modern fermentation are at their bases of
 divine origin. They are a subconscious continuation of the most ancient
 religious cults on earth (a usually unconscious re-enaction of the
 ancient sex cult in modified form). In spite of the efforts of the
 Christian churches over 120 million people, of whom 100 million are
 subjects of the King of England, are still practitioners of the sex
 cult (Lingam-yoni), which surely shows the need to spread widely
 authentic material about phallism. With that a truer and fairer
 guideline for the modern sex cult movement (which should be condemned
 for its excrescences, but which reactivates the ancient divine worship
 in its inner core) can be found. The publication of this authentic
 material is even more appropriate because the Catholic Church uses, in
 a hidden form, the phallus worship, Lingam-Yoni cult, and other similar
 practices (Cult of the Virgin) taken from so-called Pagan rituals. The
 subjects of the following text, which is divided into seven books of
 six pages each, share one common source, but there are various
 branches, some quite complicated. The cult which is described in this
 book descends from the dimmest reaches of prehistoric antiquity. It was
 the leading religious cult during the fullest flowering of the cultures
 of classical antiquity, and is still a living factor in our time. It is
 interwoven with the development of the greatest and mightiest kingdoms
 in the world's history, and still today it is intimately connected with
 the lives and customs of whole peoples which belong to the British
 Empire. Partly, our material derives from the secret "holy books" of an
 ancient order descended from the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and the original
 inhabitants of India. The other part comes from recognized sources of
 our most well-known investigators of culture, history, and archaeology.
 As proof of our arguments we will offer old writings and oral
 traditions, as well as extant monuments, sculptures, stones,
 inscriptions, and symbols which have been indecipherable to most people
 until now. Such a work is not suitable for young and immature people,
 but adults of both sexes will gain a general knowledge and
 understanding of the world, as well as its peoples and their customs,
 by studying the material we publish. Some Tartuffe may say that we are
 "immoral", "corrupting", etc., but we are prepared for that, and we
 want to declare from the outset that attacks like that will not be in
 the least discomfiting to us. While treating of this subject as we do
 in this work we will touch upon and describe many things which might
 inspire libertines of both sexes to perverted thoughts, which is only
 natural, but not our fault. To the pure, as we know, everything is
 pure. In this time the East (which is now the mightiest representative
 of so-called Paganism) has conquered the West in bloody battle. After
 this Westerners can no longer sneer about "wild Pagans in faraway
 Asia", rather they should think about the future when as in a new
 Voelkerwanderung the peoples of India, pushed aside by the Chinese and
 Japanese, will knock at the doors of Europe. Then we will see if the
 Christian religion has left the people of the West enough belief in God
 and enough resistance to successfully reject the inrushing masses of
 Asia, who serve the sex cult. To give our European Christian people
 such an inner resistance (which comes only from a fixed belief in God)
 it will be necessary for the old Christian belief to win back the many
 millions of pseudo-Christians, or a new kind of belief in God must be
 rooted in their hearts. If in the place of today's extreme unbelief a
 real living belief in a divinity could occur then it would not be bad
 if this belief was embodied in a phallus a cult of some sort. In
 response to all future suspicions and accusations we will answer
 already at this time: "Honi soit qui mal y pense."
