Many believe, even today, that its enormous size is a source of fertility, wealth, and virility. This simple tract houses the myth of the young man's discovery of his powers and his rise to the status of a god.

Through rituals of buggery and obeisance to well-endowed men, crops are made more fertile, and a man's phallus becomes a source of power and prestige.Read this legend of phallic supremacy and learn, through the bylaws in Book Two, Chapter Five, the secrets to establishing a holy place of phallic supplication. Your crops and bank accounts will grow as you submit to the hallowed sovereignty of the almighty male member. Disguised as a mere myth, this legend disseminates the secrets of wealth and prosperity.
