- depressions and furrows in the soil after plowing symbolize a woman and her fertile nature, not only in appearance, but also in meaning when a new life springs from a seed sown in a furrow; depicts the female sex organs and their reproductive capacities.
- the plowing tool has a phallic essence whether it is a plough, harrow – see Harrow (farming machine), or small hand tools; the plowing function in itself refers to sexual meaning and subsequently to a fertility symbol; the soil as Mother Earth can produce fruit from the seed like a child is born from a woman after impregnation.
