About the author
Rufus C. Camphausen's The Yoni: Sacred Symbol of Female Creative Power, published by Inner Traditions International in 1996, surveys artistic and religious representations of the vulva across cultures, situating this material alongside the more widely documented history of phallic worship and fertility cults. His second listed title, The Divine Library: A Comprehensive Reference Guide to the Sacred Texts and Spiritual Literature of the World, also from Inner Traditions, functions as a directory to primary religious texts across traditions, noting available editions, translations, and commentaries. The two books show a writer working as a cross-cultural compiler and reference author, one volume focused on symbolism and sacred art connected to the sacred feminine, the other a broad bibliographic guide to world religious literature. Both are aimed at readers with a comparative-religion or symbolic-studies interest rather than a single devotional tradition.
