Lesbian symbol made from two interlocked astronomical symbols for the planet Venus. Here it is represented in symbolic hues of violet. The association of the violet flower with lesbian love originates from a poem by Sappho about a lost love wearing a garland of "violet tiaras, braided rosebuds, dill and crocus". In modern science, use of the circle-upon-cross to represent the female sex is attributed to botanist Carl Linnaeus , who used the symbol as shorthand in his plants derivations charts. In ancient times, the metal copper was associated with the Roman goddess Venus because of its visual appeal. Copper's ancient alchemy symbol — a circle for matter above a cross for spirit — became a sign for both the goddess and the planet. This image or multimedia was created by Holek.
