I USUALLY HAVE SEEN THE MUSHROOM REPRESENTED IN ETHINOGRAPHIC ITEMS AS HAVING TO DO WITH SHAMAN OR WITCHDOCTOR OR DRUIDS AS THEY WERE OFTEN USED IN MAGIC CEREMONIES IN MANY CULTURES OVER THE WORLD. THE MAGIC MUSHROOM AS WELL AS OTHER PHYSOACTIVE THINGS HAVE BEEN USED FOR SEEING, HEALING AND MAKING PROPHSIES. MUSHROOMS CAN BE EATEN OR CAN BE USED AS A DEADLY POSION BUT MOST ARCHEOLOGICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THEM FOUND USUALLY HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR MAGICAL PROPERTIES. THERE IS A VERY PHALLIC STONE CARVEING IN A MUSEUM IN MEXICO ? THAT HAS THE PICTURE OF SEVERAL PSYCOACTIVE PLANTS CARVED ON IT. FOR A LONG TIME IT WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH FERTILITY SYMBOLS BEFORE THEY DISCOVERED WHAT IT TRULY WAS. THERE ARE PHALLIC FERTILITY SYMBOLS IN MANY CLUTURES AS WELL.
BUT GENERALLY THE PHALLIC SYMBOLISM IN A WARRIORS WEAPONS HAS TO DO WITH HIS MANLINESS AND OF COURSE TO WAG IT AT THE ENEMY OR SHOW YOUR BEHIND IS A DEFINITE INSULT TODAY AS WELL AS IN THE DISTANT PAST.
