Sacred Celebrations of Masculine Energy Around the World

Global Festivals Honouring Masculine Fertility & Sacred Sexuality

Did you know that several cultures around the world hold festivals and maintain shrines dedicated to masculine fertility, sacred sexuality, and the creative life force often symbolised by the phallus?

From vibrant street parades in Japan to mystical seaside shrines in Thailand, these traditions reflect humanity’s long-standing reverence for the male aspect of creation, healing, and fertility.

Japan’s Kanamara Matsuri: The Festival of the Steel Phallus

Every year in Kawasaki, Japan, on the first Sunday of April, thousands gather for Kanamara Matsuri, a lively celebration devoted to the phallic symbol and the blessings it represents.

Myth, Symbolism & Healing

The festival is rooted in a dramatic legend: A sharp-toothed demon hid inside a goddess’s vagina and destroyed the phalluses of her first two husbands. To defeat this entity, a steel phallus was forged—ultimately defeating the demon.This myth evolved into a ritual celebration of:

• Protection

• Fertility

• Blessing unions

• Honouring sexual health

• 
  

Today, visitors encounter colourful parades, phallic-shaped sweets, and ceremonial processions featuring giant symbolic sculptures.

Thailand’s Fertility Shrines: Sacred Spaces for Abundance

Thailand is home to numerous penis shrines—beautiful and often hidden spaces devoted to fertility, prosperity, and blessings for future family creation.

The Legend of Phra Nang (The Princess Goddess)

In the province of Krabi, local lore tells of a Princess Goddess who perished in a shipwreck near the coastline. Believed to reside in the spirit world around these shrines, she receives offerings in the form of symbolic wooden carvings representing fertility and protection.

Visitors come seeking:

• Fertility

• Relationship harmony

• Blessings for childbirth

• Good fortune

  
  

But as legends jokingly warn—visit with awareness… as fertility energy is strong here.
