  The Invisible Basilica: Hargrave Jennings
The theory of Rosicrucianism set forth in The Rosicrucians revolves around a belief that all religions originated in the primitive worship of the principle of Light or Fire as the animating force of the universe, which is represented by the sun in the heavens and by the phallus in the physical world.
Jennings seems to have become a member of some branch of the Rosicrucian Order around 1860 e.v.
Jennings also served as one of the mentors of Peter Davidson (1842-1916), frontal chief of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor (H.B. of L.) The Hermetic Brotherhood was a mystical society which surfaced publicly in England in 1884 under the auspices of Max Theon (AKA Louis-Maximilian Bimstein, 1850-1927).

  The Rosicrucians, their rites and mysteries / Hargrave Jennings.
Jennings took twenty years to write The Rosicrucians, the most eccentric interpretation of Rosicrucianism in existence.
In Jennings' version, the Order of the Garter became a phallic cult, and the Garter itself the most intimate aid to feminine hygiene.
Despite such extravagances Jennings has had a remarkable influence on many occult groups, and several of his theories were taken over by Margaret Murray in her The Witch Cult in Western Europe.

 Hargrave Jennings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hargrave Jennings (1817-1890) was a British Freemason, Rosicrucian, author on occultism and esotericism, and amateur student of comparative religion.
In several voluminous works, Jennings developed the theory that the origin of all religion is to be sought in phallic worship of the Sun and fire, which he properly called "phallism."
As Jennings made clear in several of his books, he used the word "phallic" in its non-gendered sense, meaning "having to do with the sexual organs"; thus he included worship of the female genitalia under the heading of "phallic." In later editions he reluctanly acceded to popular (although incorrect) usage and called his subject "phallicism."

Hargrave Jennings (1817-1890) was a British Freemason and amateur student of comparative religion, including the teachings of Jacob Boehme, Robert Fludd, Richard Payne Knight, and J.G.R. Forlong.
Jennings is well known for his participation in the Rosicrucian revival of the late 19th century, which is epitomized in his work, The Rosicrucians, Their Rites and Mysteries (1870).
According to Sabazius (2004), this book proposes that the primitive worship of Light or Fire, symbolized by the sun or the phallus, is the true origin of all religions.

 Reverend Hargrave Jennings
Hargrave Jennings (1817-1890) was an English cleric and author whose studies of comparative religion played an important role in the development of Western interest in sex magic during the Victorian era.
Unlike many modern authors, for whom he word "phallic" implies the male penis, Jennings used the word "phallic" in its non-gendered sense, meaning "relating to the sexual organs".
For this reason, in addition to citing examples of religions which featured worship of the male genitalia, he studied those in which the worship of the female genitalia and the worship of human sexual union were practiced.

 "Buddhism, Christianity And Phallicism" by H.P. Blavatsky @BlavatskyNet
Very soon lay writers followed the torrent, and Hargrave Jennings' charming volume, The Rosicrucians, was superseded by his Phallicism.
As an elaborate account of this work--that hunts up sexual worship, from the grossest forms of idolatry up to its most refined and hidden symbolism in Christianity--would better suit a newspaper review than a journal like the present, it becomes necessary to state at once the reason it is noticed at all.
Hargrave Jennings' last production was written, in every probability, to arrest its progress--erroneously confounded as it is by many with Occultism, pure and simple, and even with Buddhism itself.

As I mentioned earlier, Hargrave Jennings, a member of the SRIA, also belonged to a group, described as a coven, which met in the Cambridge area in the 1870s, and performed rituals based upon the classical traditions - specifically, from The Golden Ass.

Jennings began writing while slavery was still legal in the United States, and he knew Randolph before the American Emancipation declaration had been signed by Randolph's friend Abraham Lincoln.
I would argue that Jennings was not all that unusual or advanced, but that socially he was, in fact, representative of the average or norm for an educated, intellectual, philosophical British sex-magician of the mid-to-late 19th century.

Hargrave Jennings, a founder of the Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia, "hinted as strongly as he could that these rites and mysteries were of a fundamentally sexual nature, though to make his point in Victorian England he was obliged to resort to some involved and often poetically purple prose.
Dancing around the theme of Tantric sex as the basis of the Rosicrucian philosophy, Jennings was almost specific when he pointed out that...the Masonic seal of Solomon symbolizes the intertwined triangles of male and female, which in conjunction represent life..."
