“VESICA PISCIS” is an ancient symbol of two circles coming together and overlapping one another to form an almond shape in the middle – the Mandorla. It was used during medieval Christianity and symbolized the interactions and interdependence of opposing worlds and forces, the circles may be taken to represent spirit and matter or heaven and earth. In much earlier religions it symbolized the vulva, the source of life.
