Another clue lies in what Bartlett says:

It is the Sacti of the goddess Maha Deva, called Sacti because it is sacred and is offered up as a sacrifice, closely related to sacrum and the caudal appendage. The three links are the symbol of the hermaphrodite godhead. The link is the female emblem and three is the sign of the male. The Eye within the tent or triangle or compasses...

Dianus, or the sun, or god, had twelve wives, capturing a new one whenever he entered a new sign of the zodiac. It was Rhea in the sign of the Twins, and Hathor in the sign of Taurus, and Mary in the sign of Pisces. One of his wives was Diana of the Ephesians, the object of a foul worship in Asia Minor. She wears upon her head the crescent moon, and she is Mary, the Queen of Heaven. She bears six lions in her arms, because she is the mother of all the gods. Six christs have been born since she ruled the heavens in the sign of Virgo. The christ who came in the sign immediately following Virgo was Leo. It is one and the same god, the sun, that comes in every sign, consequently they are all lions.
