Many of us think of our feet as just being appendages of our
bodies that take us from one place to the next. That is true for a great many
of us. For people who worship the feet, these parts of our bodies can become
scared. The practice of foot worship goes far back into our past when a person
would lower their entire body on the ground so as to pay homage to a person of
higher stature.
In this context
the phrase “kiss the ground that you walk on” literally means that. Here a
subordinate person will show their adoration of the higher ranked person by
kissing the ground that they walked on. They show they place a high importance
on foot worship by acknowledging that even the feet of such a high individual
is far superior to them.
In the olden days
slaves were made not only to prostrate themselves before their conquerors but
they were forced to lick and kiss the parts of the floor that the “superior”
race had walked on. This method of foot worship showed they understood their
status.
Foot worship can
also be associated with foot fetish. Here items of the feet like socks, shoes,
toenail rings and others become objects of sacred interest. These items cause
the individual to venerate and worship the objects. The objects in this case
will take the place of an actual person’s presence and the foot worship can
take place at anytime that it is desired.
There are other
ways of foot worship. These are of an erotic nature as they stimulate sexual
desires. In this type of foot worship the foot of a female or a male is kissed
and the toes are sucked upon. Also burying one’s head in the soles of another
person seems to indicate the subservient nature of that person and the
superiority of the other.
Supposedly lowering the entire body and showing adulation to
the feet of another person who is of a higher rank by foot worship is a way of
saying that one person is unworthy of being in the presence of the other and
their worship of the feet acknowledge this. Individuals who perform this type
of foot worship will also allow themselves to be walked on, stomped upon and
they will even let other people of “higher” ranks trample them without any
protest.
I am sure that
there are people who think this sort of behaviour is either weird or erotic. I
personally would rather perform foot worship by massaging my feet with soothing
creams and lotions. Pamper them by soaking them in a bath of Epsom salts.
Finally I would just relax my feet by keeping up on the sofa. This would be my
version of foot worship.
