Phallus Options

i was thinking about that a male magician could use the physical phallus, in certain kind of suitable rituals, and use it instead of a wand, replace as a much stronger symbol
of chokmah the will. Would this symbolism produce a stronger effect with the huge symbolism it is associated with?
might sound a bit odd.

Mr. Curi has some good points. I agree that you should not improvise in any ritual magick unless the source you are working from permits it or has alternate suggestions. Subsituting tools or procedures with otherthings is like trying to change the combination on a vault to get it to open. You might get the vault open but, in the realm of magick, what you actually open up may be something totally different.

A better analogy may be working with chemicals. In chemistry you can mix certain elements to produce others. But if you change the substances you are working with or add something new in, you can produce a nasty affect - poisonous gasses, explosion maybe.

I would point out that neo-pagan religions like Wicca often hold court skyclad. The great rite is one of the most sacred practices in Wicca and it doesn't work being clothed. At that rate you might find use of the phallus in the left hand path or chaos magick.
