"A tremendous and controversial undertaking for its time, this book
unearths some of the most fascinating connections between the world
of Christianity and sexual imagery, adventure and exotica. Without
missing a beat, Rocco has seen to it that her readers are not only
kept fascinated, but that her own theories and precepts remain
strong in the reader's mind. It doesn't matter that her words reach
out from a past century. Their ring is clear and their message
loud, even by today's standards. Rocco moves from an intrinsic
philosophy of the cross and its shape and form in theoretical
gendering, while leaving no stone unturned in her discussions of
the Triad and Vocabulary of the ancients. This woman finds sex in
every nook and cranny of history, letting nothing stand in her way
to complete sexual discovery. Her writing style remains clear and
easy to read, while packed with the most interesting of facts,
theories and suggestions. Not to be left in the cold, the Yoni is
also examined (figuratively) in detail, including details regarding
its origins and assorted monikers. Following the discussions of
symbols, figures, art and hidden meanings, Rocco turns the focus to
Religious Prostitution. This topic, although with many different
perspectives from contemporary scholars, could well have ushered
Ms. Rocco to the stocks had they still been in use at the time of
its publication. While detailing some of the more well known roles
of women in religion, Rocco weaves the threads of fresh thought
around such topics as "veiling" and the use of the word
"sanctuary." Interesting, thought-provoking and incredibly advanced
for a female scholar of her time. In its entirety, this book is a
must-have. Forany who hold a love of history and most especially
sexual history, the information and theories that Rocco puts out,
are worth their weight in gold, when taken as a philosophical
volume of renown. Women of today find it less surprising - the
images, innuendoes and hints of sexuality in the ancient religious
world. Today's female has history at her fingertips to use as a
visual link in common denominators. We can see, from the threads of
our history, that the pagans of old relied as much on sexuality in
their nature worship as did the Christians who adopted but hid
them. Fascinating and worthy of the best coffee accompaniment."
