I thought it could be a tepee (note that it was drawn not far from other types of lodging) when I was looking at it on Yale.PDF. As you know, this is the infamous PDF produced by incompetent scanners who, besides deciding to include a tapir, also decided to omit the mouth of the second volcano.
It was what looked like crisscrossed logs coming out of the mouth of the first volcano that made me think it could be a tepee. But when I discovered a second mouth on Yale.TIF, and it had no logs coming out of it, the tepee idea had to be discarded.
Beyond the VMS, no Cathar literature of substance has survived. But the literature of medieval Cabalists, who lived in the same time and place as the Cathars and who had sight of the same ancient prophecies, wrote about the transmigration of souls, likely sourced from the same stump prophecy.
I've made an extensive study of medieval cabalistic literature. Tree symbolism, all parts of the tree, was commonplace and even dominant when it came to the Tree of Life.
