The classic guide to the history and mythology of women's emblems.
This fascinating guide to the history and mythology of woman-related symbols features:
Three-Rayed SunThe sun suspended in heaven by three powers, perhaps the Triple Goddess who gave birth to it (see Three-Way Motifs).
Corn DollyAn embodiment of the harvest to be set in the center of the harvest dance, or fed to the cattle to "make them thrive year round" (see Secular-Sacred Objects).
TongueIn Asia, the extended tongue was a sign of life-force as the tongue between the lips imitated the sacred lingam-yoni: male within female genital. Sticking out the tongue is still a polite sign of greeting in northern India and Tibet (see Body Parts).
Cosmic EggIn ancient times the primeval universe-or the Great Mother-took the form of an egg. It carried all numbers and letters within an ellipse, to show that everything is contained within one form at the beginning (see Round and Oval Motifs).
