Obviously others consider these associations a possibility also, this is not my pic.

You're right, Linda. It's not your pic, it's mine, and I did not post it on my blog because I was trying to assert that it was a map or a mappa mundi.

I was trying to describe a number of different interpretations for a three-division medieval drawing, and ONE of those interpretations was that it might be used  as an orientation symbol (in which case it won't necessarily have the names of continents as labels). That's why I added the compass. Since everyone in the Middle Ages was familiar with the symbol (and the way it pointed to east/west, etc.), it meant it could be used in a number of ways, not all of which were maps.

It can also be a cosmological drawing (three elements), an alchemical reference (philosopher's stone), and several other things. So I would be concerned if people got the idea that my drawing was intended to assert that it is a mappa mundi symbol because that was not the intention of posting it.
