Why this word is great

PHALLISM — [Noun] The worship of the phallus as a symbol of male generative power. From phallo- (relating to the phallus) + -ism (denoting a system, practice, or doctrine). Unlike phallocentrism (which critiques an intellectual worldview) or lingam worship (which transcends into abstract cosmogony), phallism is the raw, devotional focus on fertility itself. It is the crude wooden totem planted in a furrowed field, the stone pillar glazed with oil and smoke in a temple niche, the ithyphallic Hermes guarding a crossroads—the ancient, unsubtle prayer for life to erupt from barrenness; a desperate, hopeful magic against the quiet, consuming dark.

noun
