Yoni defined:

Hindu: The Sanskrit term Jagad-Yoni was often translated as "womb of the world". The yoni symbol was seen as the seat of female sexual power and the source of all creative action. It was often described as a "gateway". The Yantra of the Yoni represents the pelvic area of a woman's body and many philosophical concepts centering on this reality: creation, birth, love, motherhood, sexual attraction, fulfillment, cyclic time, Kundalini force, the mystery of conception, and the Goddess within.

Pagan: Feminine creative force. The Mother spirit that gave birth to the world of the gods.

Asiatic: Lotus - the primary symbol of the cosmic yoni from which all life arose.

Irish: Shiela Na Gig - Female figures displaying a yoni were common ornaments of Irish churches built prior to the 16th century. These ornaments were a sign of protection.
