PRIAPUS TEMPLE

Welcum to the TEMPLE OF COCK!

From the earliest days of civilization in practically all cultures, there has been a devotion to Life and its Source. There is evidence of Beauty created by PRIPAUS, our God, as a tool, a path to Truth, for freedom and liberation. The Worship of Cock is our Gnostic path. Heed the demands of the COCK and Truth shall be revealed to you. Worship the Great and Holy COCK as the one true source of Truth and Growth.

COCK WORSHIP: Priapian cock- worship began over 4000 in India , and 3000 years ago in Asia Minor, then moved to Greece and Egypt. However, it is even found in our Christian-Buddhist-Islam time. In some early Christian communities, there were sects involved in erotic worship, often in the nude in which ritual intercourse was part of the worship experience. We have witness to this in some of the Pagan Roman writings in criticism of the Christians. Likewise, we can appreciate the interest and prevalence of these sectarians by the repressive actions taken by the Judaic-Christian communities in the course of religious history. Nevertheless, our Temple devoted to the COCK has survived all down through the ages until once again we are proudly proclaiming the Power and Beauty of the COCK. It is that Power, the Greatness of the COCK, that can destroy evil.

WHY NOW! To a great extent the people who worship the Phallus have come to recognize the beauty of the COCK and its creative Power as well as its being the source of Joy and Pleasure. It is more importantly, the binding force in humanity. It is found in all forms of sex - gay, bi or straight. They are incomplete until one realizes that the great importance of the COCK above and beyond a temporal vehicle of pleasure and procreation, is a spiritual path. Devotees have been inspired to search for a deeper meaning to sexual expression, and have through mediation come to realize that the COCK is the Source of Life, Joy, Beauty and Pleasure. Hence, it is an honourable part of the Body and worthy of worship. When we all realize this obvious Fact and understand that the COCK as part of a new and beautiful act, the act of peace, love and beauty, will conquer evil, leaving only peace and Love. Let us adore the COCK as the path to spiritual enlightenment and use it as a magical connection from this dimension to the next. Your COCK IS A TEMPLE OF PRIAPUS. WORSHIP IT with pride!

COCK WORSHIP can take many forms. The COCK is to be honoured, no matter of race, age or personal beauty. Barriers which might exist in other social situations must fall, for during the services the outlook of the devotee is enriched in such a way that s/he ignores previous prejudices. The COCK has become Beauty itself. Its emission is regarded with reverence and joyfully consumed in communion with others present. Furthermore, the COCK is never mutilated through personal choice, but may be enhanced to focus its beauty before our eyes. The COCK SHOULD BE SHOWN TO ANY ALL WHO WISH TO WORSHIP IT. Deny not the call of the Phallus. Let it take command and show you your own path to the truth. COCKS are revered by all men and some women. All are encouraged to worship the Holy Organ. The COCK is a beacon for all to see. The Light shines form the Dick; Follow it to Nirvana.

Worship experiences as a Priapic Community occur regularly in many cities and countries. Some are organized as Temples, (see list), while others are individual or groups yearning to becum a Temple of COCK. All members MUST devote a minimum 4 hours a week to servicing the COCK, your own &/or others. You decide the method of devotion, eg. sex magic or other Gnostic expressions. Truly, this form of sexual communication commends itself to the needs of many in society and should be encouraged. As a worshipper of the Phallus, your role is to tell others of your belief in the Power of the COCK to conquer Evil through Word of Mouth to those who might be isolated from our church. This is a vital part of your devotion to our Temple of Love.

RULES OF ORDER

All temple services, special celebrations, administrative meetings, etc. are nude mandatory, without exception. Cock rings may be worn. The PONTIFEX is the only person allowed to wear a stole or other ceremonial gown. Complete nakedness is required for all phallic worshippers. Failure to do so will result in removal from Temple!

Membership to the first level of the temple depends upon a number of factors - body pride, sexual drive, love of the COCK, agreements with practices and principles of the temple, acceptance of nudity. COCK size is not relevant, but COCK pride is! Group sex is a vital part of church and the candidate must accept to participate while not being forced to do any acts not of his choosing. Anal sex is conditional upon wearing of a condom. Failure to do so will result in expulsion from the temple. Sex is part of the screening process. Failure to have some sort of sex during the interview blocks further processing of application. An application must be filled out during the interview.

Prohibited at temple activities : overt drunkenness; fighting; hard drugs; disrespect for the High Priest or his designate, the temple or its principles; anal intercourse without a condom; wearing of clothes. Other rules will be set by the Board of Phallic Advisors.

The temple is divided into various levels of membership.

Level one is entitled Regular membership whose members have passed the screening and been approved by the Board of Phallic Advisors following the first temple service attended by the candidate. An initiation for this level occurs during a regular temple service. There is a probationary period of three months. Regular attendance at services is required. The Board may remove a member who does not attend regularly. The member may appeal to the High Priest whose decision is final.

Level two is called the ORDER OF THE GREEN CARNATION OF PRIAPUS and members are initiated at a secret ceremony, They must devote 8 hours per week to the temple or COCK. Members are chosen by the Board of Phallic Advisors.

Level three is called the COMPANION OF THE COCK. The level is chosen by the PONTIFEX. They must devote themselves to work for the temple and to the oral needs of the PONTIFEX or High Priest. From both these levels come the members of the Board Of Phallic Advisors.

Level four is reserved for Acolyte-Priests and High Priests only.

All regular members or brothers must pledge four hours per week to the work of the temple or to relieve sexual frustration of themselves or others. All other members must devote eight or twelve hours per week for the same reasons. It is the duty of the High Priest to monitor this pledge!

DUES: All members of the temple must pay some sort of tithe or dues. The Board of Phallic Advisors will set the rate. Currently, it is $6 per service; Out-of-town members must pay $20 for a subscription to the Bulletin, plus at least one testimonial or prayer per year.

Any member who misses more than five services in a row will be placed on probation for three months. Then, the Board of Phallic Advisors will rule on his continued membership. All members who attend temple services are expected to participate in the carnal communion of love at the end of each service. Members are encouraged to let their COCKS and Balls rule and guide them in the satiation of lust, and to cum as often as they want through the blessed acts of masturbation, cock sucking, safe sodomy etc. and to share their cocks openly with one another in joy, naked and without shame.

The High Priest/ Pontifex, through the dictates of his blessed erect COCK, and as the Most High Celebrant of the Penis, will lead the temple and have final decision making power over spiritual areas. He , with the Board of Phallic Advisors will run the temple administration.

Those wishing to advance in the Orders of the Temple must show strong and continued devotion to and worship of the COCKS of man; to the relief of sexual lust to reduce evil; to support for and adherence to the temple, its rules, rituals and principles; to working for the temple in some way, and to the support of the PONTIFEX and his erect staff!

Admission of non-gay males will be allowed by the PONTIFEX if the person supports the aims of the temple and proves his love of COCKS. Females may be considered for membership after the Board has considered the impact on the temple. A temple vote or referendum should be considered for this aspect. It should be noted that some temples have a special service for heterosexual members.

All members of our brother temples are eligible to attend the services of another temple and are encouraged to do so.

MEMBERSHIP LEVELS IN PRIAPUS

LEVEL ONE: This is a regular membership.


A candidate must first pass the screening process and attend one meeting of the temple, after which time the candidate and the Board decide if he can continue to attend services. Normally, it should be yes. If the person does not follow the Rules of the temple, then this would be a reason for refusal of candidature. A formal initiation will take place during a regular service of the temple. The board and/or PONTIFEX will schedule this service. There follows a probation period of 3 months to determine interest in the temple. The brother becomes a full member of the temple! The brother must devote 4 hours a week to service of the COCK or the temple! Out-of-town brothers must write a testimonial once a year to maintain their active status.






LEVEL TWO: The ORDER OF THE GREEN CARNATION OF PRIAPUS.

Members of the level are chosen upon recommendation of the board of Phallic Advisors or if out of town, by the PONTIFEX. There is a secret initiation before the Board and other second level brothers. Candidates must show a willingness to help the temple and are devoted to our cause and to the Power of the COCK! There is no special time for this level to add members, but if a candidate feels called upon and helps the temple out with the administration etc. he qualifies for consideration. A decision of the Board may be appealed to the PONTIFEX who must have valid reason to overturn the Board's decision. Up to this point, this has never happened! After the special ceremony, the brother joins this Holy Order and becomes part of the Brotherhood of the COCK! He must devote 8 hours a week to the temple and to COCK satisfaction.







LEVEL THREE: COMPANION OF THE COCK!

This level is chosen exclusively by the PONTIFEX. The brother must demonstrate a thorough devotion to COCKS and pledge to service the Holy COCK of the PONTIFEX whenever possible. There is a special secret initiation for this level along with obligations of 10 hours a week to cock-worship and the temple, plus a written monthly prayer or testimonial. From the ranks of the COMPANIONS OF THE COCK comes new High Priests. Membership in this level is meant to be limited. Those feeling called upon to join this level should request a private interview with the PONTIFEX. All COMPANIONS are eligible to receive the Sacrament of the Most Holy Seed from the PONTIFEX who must make himself available for worship by the COMPANIONS.






LEVEL FOUR: VICE PRIEST or HIGH PRIEST!

Priests are created according to the rites of Mary Magdalene and must receive the juices of another priest either in person or by proxy if no priest is available. A priest must devote 12 hours a week to the church. The PONTIFEX must devote 16 hours a week. All priests must make themselves available to COMPANIONS for worship and the Sacrament. They must also make themselves available to all brothers for counseling and for screening sessions which can be shared with members of the Board of Phallic Advisors. A member of level two or three can be a candidate for the Board of Phallic Advisors who should be elected by all the brothers of those levels for a period of one year. Members of level four are automatic members of the Board. The Office of High Priest is for life! Candidates for the Priesthood should contact Priest of Priapus who will commence instruction.

Who Was Priapus?

According to Longmans English Larousse Priapus was a Greek god of fertility, son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, guardian deity of gardens, vineyards and herds. His cult spread to Greece during the time of Alexander. He personified male procreative power.

From the earliest days of civilization in practically all cultures there has been devotion to Life and its source, the procreative powers of human and animal life. These cults have manifested themselves in various ways appropriate to the ethnic group involved, but in all groups there has been a great devotion to the penis (cock, prick) as not only the organ of life production but also of beauty. In our own cultural history which has been so greatly influenced by the Mediterranean interest in Priapus and Priapic worship has had a significant presence in the life of the people. Even in more northern Germanic, Slavic and Scandinavian lands there has been a similar cultic interest, as witness the steeples characteristic of those areas! Even in the early days of the Christian communities, there were those sects involved in erotic worship practices, often times in the nude, in which ritual intercourse was part of the worship experience. We have witness to this in some of the pagan Roman writings in criticism of the Christians. Likewise, we can appreciate the interest and prevalence of these sectarians by the repressive actions taken by the Judaic-Christian communities in the course of religious history. Nevertheless these expressions of cultic worships have never been completely suppressed nor have they died out. The cultic practice "resurrects" from time to time when appropriate or there is a need for their presence in society, of course, never without criticism, hardship and persecution. In our own era we have gone through a period of "sexual liberation", DG, in which repressive attitudes towards SEX have been reviewed and found wanting, and not appropriate to the needs of men and women. And in recent years we have seen the emergence of Priapic worship spring up around the country in varying forms, largely among the gay men of our society. (It would seem that there is no need to exclude females from this worship expression, but for the present they are perhaps not yet culturally or spiritually attuned thereto.)

WHY HAS THIS TAKEN PLACE AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

To a great extent these beautiful people have come to recognize the beauty of the penis and its creative power as well as its being a source of joy and pleasure, as well as a binding force in humanity. The varying forms of gay erotic relationships have been found incomplete until one realizes the great importance of the penis above and beyond a temporary vehicle of pleasure and procreation, as well as natural elimination. Devotees have been inspired to search for a deeper meaning to sexual expression apart from establishing a family, and have through meditation come to realize the cock as the source of life, joy, beauty and pleasure and hence and "honourable part" of the body and worthy of worship. Rightly so, for when one comes to understand this sexual behaviour among consenting and enlightened males takes on a new and beautiful act and an act of peace, love and beauty. Then there is no rape or sex abuse.

CULTIC WORSHIP can take varying forms according to local needs, but in all places surely the honouring of the cock on each and every devotee is characteristic regardless of race, age or personal beauty of the person. Barriers which might exist in other social situations fall not only during the cultic gathering but also the outlook of the devotee is enriched in such a way that he ignores previous prejudices. The cock itself has become a thing of beauty, to be admired and honoured and its emission regarded with reverence and joyfully consumed in communion with others present. Furthermore, the cock is never mutilated through personal decision and at appropriate times and circumstance revealed with pride and pleasure. Inhibitions depart. Worship experiences as a Priapic Community occur on a regular basis together with educational procedures, but likewise there is devoted a given amount of time per week to the relief of sexual tensions of self and others. Truly, this form of expression commends itself to the needs of many in society and should be properly encouraged. It also helps all of us to rid ourselves of repression by reason of a misinformed society.

OFFICIAL CREED OF PRIAPUS is that we believe that unfilled sexual desire, which Jesus called lust, causes hate, anger, greed and envy: and that wallowing in these sins causes crime, violence, war, unhappiness and disease; and that sex can destroy evil.

SHOW YOUR COCK AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS!
