[edit] Summary

Description

Modified version of Hindu Yoni-Lingam symbols, as included on trump card 7 ("The Chariot") in the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck. This could be used to explain the hypothesis that some uses of some versions of cross symbols are intended to have sexual symbolism (see en:Talk:Cross etc.) -- though it's highly unlikely that such sexual symbolism could be the "true" origin or meaning of all cross symbols in all cases.

Date

Original date was 1909 by Pamela Colman Smith (published in 1910); subsequent image manipulation and clean-up in 2009

Source

Took Image:Rwt major 07.png (raw scan of "The Chariot" Tarot card which is in public domain in the United States in this uncolorized form), did a vector trace of the part of the image containing the symbol, and subsequently heavily cleaned up and symmetrized the vector trace, also adding a simple uniform red background color to the central symbol.

Author

Original author was Pamela Colman Smith in 1909 (modified from an abstract stylized pseudo-Egyptian lotus motif in an earlier version of the Tarot card by Eliphas Levi); subsequent image manipulation and clean-up by User:AnonMoos
