| Summary | "Fishes, Flowers, & Fire as Elements and Deities in the Phallic Faiths & Worship" is a scholarly work written in the late 19th century. The text delves deeply into the ancient religions of civilizations such as Greece, Babylon, Rome, and India, exploring the themes of fecundity and worship through the symbols of fish, flowers, and fire. The opening of the work introduces the frequent use of the fish symbol across various cultures, detailing its significance in heraldry, Christian symbolism, and ancient rituals. It mentions how fish have been a prominent motif in Christian catacombs, possibly symbolizing Christ himself. Furthermore, the text starts to explore the various fish-related myths and legends connected to deities in multiple ancient religions, setting the tone for a detailed discussion on the interrelations between these symbols and the broader themes of sexuality and fertility in worship practices.
