Misc. Quotes

"During the early seventeenth century, the potato was credited with aphrodisiac virtues (probably because it was strange and new); and, although we know to-day that there is not the slightest ground for such a belief, the Elizabethan dramatists often refer to this quality of the potato in their plays. Remarking on this, Havelock Ellis says: '...and the Irish peasantry, whose diet very largely consists of potatoes, are even regarded as possessing an unusually small measure of sexual feeling.' He adds that '...a beefsteak is probably as powerful a sexual stimulant as any food...'"

"The mesdames who ran the elegant brothels were absolutely obliged to realize this aphrodisiac importance of the petit-souper: and they vied with each other in drawing up excellent menus designed to attract the custom of semi-impotent gallants of the fashionable world. During the revolution the suppers served in the brothel of Dervieux became especially celebrated. The Duc de Richelieu, a nobleman with a reputation similar to that of Casanova, went one step further, and served suppers to his friends during which all present, including their mistresses, who were often society beautifies and titled ladies, were completely naked."

"The Old Conventional Idea of the Union of Sun and Crescent"

"Mysterious Hieroglyphs involving the Crescent Idea"

Misc. Quotes

(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)

"The earliest form of devotion known to students of comparative religions is the worship of devils. Commerce with the putative world "beyond the veil" began as an attempt to improve human luck, which meant, of course, the averting of ill luck or evil circumstances. Even in this age of what we are pleased to call enlightenment, a time of calamity or danger usually evokes a piteous cry for some sort of communication with the supernatural world. This need for supernormal assistance is felt, not only when a ship begins to sink of the Grim Reaper makes his appearance in a family, but also when a comet shines in the sky, and the superstitious quake for fear of the harm it must of necessity portend."

"Why should the ghost always act as an agent of mischief? Why are folks unable to enjoy the companionship of the departed, just as they did when the spirits were incarnate? Why is it that the very thought that a ghost may be present in a room will almost invariably elicit the emotion of terror? Let your cultivated sceptic sit alone at midnight, and let him read a story of haunting in the privacy of his study, and, with all his presumptive knowledge of the origin and history of the belief in ghosts, he will be afraid."

DICTIONARY OF APHRODISIACS

by HARRY E. WEDECK

This book is in the nature of a literary and historical survey of aphrodisiacs, their objectives, techniques, and effectiveness. The contents cover world-wide territories, and range from antiquity through the Middle Ages down to the present day. With academic emphasis, they point up the continuous urgency that has driven men in quest of an erotic elixir and a putative panacea, in the form of philtres and unguents, invocations, prescriptions, and mechanistic devices, for their exhausted vigors. Harry E. Wedeck teaches classical literature at Brooklyn College.

Misc. Quotes

(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)

"Cheese

Highly esteemed for its aphrodisiac propensities. Parmesan cheese in particular, in eighteenth century France, was considered highly beneficial in this sense."

"Musk

A brown, bitter, volatile substance, extracted from a gland near the genitals of the musk-deer and of a species of goat indigenous to Tartary. In Persia and Tibet musk is used in food for its amatory properties.

The odor of musk, according to the Hindu Kama Sutra, is associated with the ideal woman.

One Arab writer comments on the efficacy of perfuming oneself with must as an aid before sexual activity.

In Oriental stories musk often appears as an enticing erotic factor."

TREASURY OF WITCHCRAFT

by HARRY E. WEDECK

Here is a source book of the magic arts, including divination and astrology, lycanthropy and necromancy, and all the varieties of thaumaturgical practice, from the earliest times to the present day.

It cites abundant texts in historical sequence, and presents actual records referring to witchcraft and sorcery as realities, together with specific spells, charms, invocations, Satanic pacts, descriptions of occult practices, a Who's Who in Demonology, and imperial and state decrees relating to magic activities.

Historically, the major periods and practices of Babylonian, Green, Roman, European, Indian, African and other areas are all included. Each section is illuminated by an interpretative essay, and notes further elucidate provocative points.

"SATAN AS A GOAT

In medieval witchcraft, the Archfiend Satan is represented as a goat to whom homage is paid by all the practitioners of the Black Art."

(scan by Rev. Byrd | Bonanza Reprint)

"DEPARTURE FOR THE SABBAT

The Sabbat was an assembly of witches to do honor to the Master Fiend. Note the witch preparing an ointment to smear her body. Another witch is being anointed, to enable her to use levitation. A magic circle, mystically inscribed, a skull, familiars, spirits in animal form, surround the sorcerers.

(Teniers was a seventeenth century Dutch artist)"

Misc. Quotes

(interesting or pithy quotes from the book)

"German Werewolf: At Bamberg, Peter Stumpf was condemned to death for intimacy with a succubus for more than twenty-eight years. This demon had given him a girdle. When he put it on, it appeared to him and to others that he had changed into a wolf. He tried to devour two of his daughters-in-law. Francesco Guazzo. Compendium Maleficarum, 1608."

"In the scheme of magic, the witch and the warlock, the necromancer and the occultist have their personal insignia, traits that distinguish them, habits and powers that detach them from the normal world."

Reviews

(from American Anthropologist, 1928)

Rasse und Korperbau.

FRANZ WEIDENREICH. Berlin: Julius Springer, 1927. 187 pp., 201 ills.

The concept of bodily constitutional types goes back to the Greeks and has had its principal recognition in the field of medicine. Of late it has been developed in connection with psychiatry and certain lines of inexact or popular psychology. In the most recent years constitutional types have begun to be taken cognizance of by physical anthropologists, partly under the influence of sister disciplines, partly, it may be suspected, as a relief from the relative sterility into which the study of races has got itself. The concept of type obviously cross-cuts that of race, and therefore holds out a promise of new results. Weidenreich’s monograph opens with the sentence: “This book is of strictly scientific nature.” It therefore deserves serious consideration, in itself and as a symptom of trend. Two principal constitutional types are recognized, the Leptosome and Eurysome: one narrow, long, slender, delicate, the other broad, short, thickset, heavy, and rugged. Essentially Leptosome and Euroysome traits respectively characterize the Phthisic and Carcinomatous types of Beneke, the Asthenic and Apoplectic of Stiller, the Microsplanchnic and Macrosplanchnic of Viola, the Respiratory and Digestive of Sigaud, Chaillou, and MacAuliffe, the Hyperontomorph and Mesoontomorph of Bean, the Asthenic and Pyknic of Kretschmer, the Lineal and Lateral of Stockard, the Leptoprosopic and Chamaeprosopic of Kollmann. Weidenreich shows that these two types appear in both sexes and in all races. They are the fine or Choshui and the coarse or Satsuma type in the Japanese; the Aryan or Assyroid and the Negritoid elements among the Chinese according to Legendre or Mongolian and Malayan according to Hagen; the narrow and broad-nosed Papuans; the Hamitic and Asiatic strains in Egypt; the pure Nordic and Cro-Magnon in northern Europe; the Sephardic and Ashkenaz among the Jews. In virtually every case the attempt has been made by the determiners of these types to derive them from separate ethnic, that is, racial, origins. Although such theories have had little support from conservative anthropologists, they have enjoyed some vogue, and Weidenreich’s analysis will be welcome for definitely eliminating these speculations. He shows that individuals of corresponding types occur among Negroes, American Indians, Polynesians, Australians, Veddas, and probably every population. Sigaud’s Muscular and Kretschmer’s Athletic type are disposed of as functional variations of normal types. The Cerebral type is valid to the extent of being a characteristic cephalic variant of both Leptosome and Eurysome. It is associated with brachycephaly. So far as the data go, there have been no true dolichocephals among the greatest German intellects. The Leptosome and Eurysome types are traceable in fossil man, in the Primates, and in domestic animals. (Wheeler has recently shown them in insects.) They represent extremes of form of growth, porbably more or less hereditary; the causes of the origin of the types are obscure: Type and race traits per se are not distinguishable; it is the combination of traits, and their prevalent recurrence within a population, that makes them racially significant. Weidenreich thoroughly keeps the promise of his first sentence. The subject of types will probably be considerably exploited in the next few years. His work shows that it can be treated without recourse to half-evidence, loose definition, or fantasy.

This book explores the radically new forms of sexuality emerging in America since World War II. According to the author, sexual identity and the polarization of the masculine and feminine have become so strangely blurred that a neuter role of the sexes has come to dominate our self-awareness.

"Men and women in the United States," explains Professor Winick, "have undergone so profound a flattening of sexual identity that they can properly be described as 'New People.' ... they have taken over; they are the authorities when it comes to setting the tone of our living... one hardly notices the invasion because it has been so widespread and successful... We have failed to recognize them; they are, in fact, invisible. They are ourselves."

Professor Winick brings into perspective the nature and the consequences of this shift in American life and its social expressions. Food, drink, and tobacco have become blander, male dominance of leisure activity has become a casualty of the times, and clothing reflects our blurring of sex and age roles.

Ranging from the ambi-sexual names given to our children to role reversals among male and femal adults, Professor Winick analyzes all aspects of popular culture - food, drink, clothing, furniture, architecture, and the major performing arts.

When age and sex differences become so bleached that we seem to be contradicting basic biological patterns, says Professor Winick, there is reason to question our society's ability to achieve goals, and perhaps even survive.

Charles E. Winick is Professor of Anthropology and Sociology as the City University on New York.

Misc. Quotes

"The Existence of a substantial group that wants to wear even more clothes of the opposite sex, at a time when each sex looks like a transvestite parody, suggests that genderless clothing is meeting important contemporary needs."

"The Sound of Music... became the highest grossing film ever released, perhaps because it is a woman's picture that provides a quintessential Oedipal story."

"Several interview studies have established that the most typical American fans of Bond are men who tend to alienation, impotence, hostility toward women, and passivity, with fantasies of violence."

"Over 2,300,000 wives earn more than their husbands..."

(from the 1960 Viking Press edition)

"Clean and Decent," says the author's preface, "is meant to entertain even is scholarship does keep breaking through." To the American publishers this is traditional British understatement since, in addition to being vastly entertaining, the book is also continuously fascinating and frequesntly astonishing. On the one hand an extraordinary history of personal hygiene down the ages (with special emphasis on the outré, the quaint, and the politely scatalogical), it also contains a solid core of social history and innumberable lively reflections on changing manners.

It is apparent to Lawrence Wright that more can be learned about past peoples from their bathrooms than from their battlefields. To make his point he provides hundreds of illustrations, prints and photographs, many of them rediscovered "bygones" that have never before been reprinted. Thus one learns that Queen Elizabeth I has a valve watercloset; that Louis XIV had cushions in his bath; that baths have been concealed in sofas and washbasins in pianos; that, although whiskey may be added to bath water, mutton chops should definitely not be eaten in the bath proper. Clean and Decent is a serious architect's distinctive contribution to his profession. It will also add considerably to the gaiety of nations.
