The Phallic Element in Alchemical Doctrine is a book written by H. Stanley Redgrove that explores the role of sexuality and the phallic symbol in alchemical philosophy. The author delves into the significance of the phallus in the alchemical process, as well as its connection to the concept of the divine masculine. Redgrove discusses the use of sexual imagery in alchemical texts and the importance of the union of opposites, which is symbolized by the union of the phallic and the feminine.
