Hermaphrodites, Gynomorphs and Jesus: She-Male Gods and the Roots of Christianity

by David C.A. Hillman

The first western god was both male and female. All of western religion springs from the veneration of a bi-gender entity, known to the ancient world as the Gynomorph. The worship of hermaphroditic gods like the Gynomorph surfaces in ancient pagan cults as well as early Christianity.The celebration of female gods with penises impacted the development of western culture. Veneration of the Gynomorph is the basis for modern western law courts. The founders of democracy worshipped similar female divinities who possessed penises. Ritual sodomy as a means of celebrating hermaphroditic gods directly promoted the birth of western democracy. In fact, ancient priestesses responsible for guiding the worship of hermaphroditic goddesses laid the very foundations for democracy, science and philosophy.The oldest western pharmaceuticals were sex drugs used in religious initiations in celebration of the Gynomorph. Snake venoms used in cultic sex rituals were immensely popular in both Greece and Rome. In addition, abortion-inducing drugs promoted the first scientific investigations. Classical civilization relied heavily upon the use of cannabis, opiates, and hallucinogens, which were mixed with sexual stimulants. Greco-Roman witches, who served a prominent hermaphroditic goddess, Hecate, were among the earliest western scientists and naturalists.Devotees of gynomorphic divinities were the first westerners to promote the religious practice known as necromancy. The first “baptists” were cross-dressing necromancers, who celebrated the Gynomorph. Eunuchs who served the same goddess were chemically castrated with scorpion venom. Ancient pre-Christian oracles declared that the messiah must be a hermaphrodite. Christianity tried to assimilate and employ the use of necromancy. The earliest Christians used designer sex drugs in their rituals in order to venerate a messiah given gynomorphic status by church bishops.

A Good Book But With Little Sources

As a Classicist and Anthropologists I completely agree with the ideas presented in this book. However, there are some issues that need to be addressed. The main one is that there are no sources presented in this work besides a few in-text citations. The second is that the language surrounding Jesus in this book purports him and his followers to have been historical in the context in which the Gospel of Mark, being the oldest, presents them. It is wonderful that the author, a Classicist realizes that Christianity did not arrive out of a cultural vacuum. However, this is all the more reason to become familiar with Francesco Carotta's theory, and the work of Alexander Delmar. The Priene Calendar Inscription definitively proves their cases.

I found this to be an excellent book and well written. There is much information regarding the subject throughout the internet. In addition, there are many myths and stories alike throughout all cultures worldwide that support what the Author has written here.

I am no writer by any means, but I do research very well and I found this book to be on point.

To know that creation or the Creator has many names is obvious. To know that creation began from that which manifests itself as Androgynous and began with Nebertcher of Kamit is another story. For we , society worldwide, have been conditioned to believe all origins are from Grecco - Roman points of view, yet that could not be further from the truth. However, all cultures worldwide, other than Western culture, worshipped androgynous people previously bc they were similar to the deity for which they all worshipped.

This largely comes off as a work of fiction with the bible passages being used with a heavy "ad lib context" that you wouldn't get from reading the full version. Since I'm fond of transgenders and hermaphrodites in humans and nature (shot out to pathogenic plants) it's somewhat more of a fantasy book that could come off as extremely offensive. That said there is some symbolic meanings that the author misses in a Freudian relief of penis envy. Rather than considering that you can drink the word water... consider what it transcends to describe. Dualism is commo: left/right, up/down, positive/negative, past/future, or male/female... such dualities to form a spectrum and I think Lao Tzu's work is a better fit here

Tao gives birth to One,
One gives birth to Two,
The Two gives birth to Three,
The Three gives birth to all universal things.

The "non dual" defines the others as and origin or observed reference and is thus both parts and still neither but differentiating the two (center, middle, neutral, present, hermaphrodite (both sex organs like like snails or the zygote forged of both haploids cells to make new diploid of one or the other or maybe both in rare case but never fully functional in humans).

There are some whoppers in here... once again, I have collected some stories of trans roles in older societies as semi shamanistic in the Philippines or ceremonial in India's Hijra community. The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucian's by William Walker Atkinson (under one of many pens) cover an Ishtar Cult with this non dualistic merger of dress (one side female, one side male) as metaphor but it sounds like Frazier's Golden Bough penis = creation led it to the corruption that the author here is outlining in a litter sense... Most of the later works of the Torah are highly against such ritualistic sex practices (the Isis forms had animals and family members) but also the key points on homosexuality blended in aside from the gang rape, torture, public sex, theft, and general corruption of Sodom and Gomorrah (although there are condemnations of a female slave being raped and it lead to war after the Torah).

This is not research material once again, and the author's other works are edge lord craft... but given my personal interest it was a fun read... but should not be associated with religion as that always goes badly and the trans community has enough problems as it is.

While I agree with the author's initial premise, that the hermaphrodite had a sacred role, he doesn't present much in the way of convincing evidence for some of his tangential assertions. Not very scholarly.
