It actually dates back to the bible days. Read Ruth chapter 4 and it will be explained. It comes from the EA degree proficiency work.

The first time I heard of it was on the My Freemasonry board so it's not a common symbol in all jurisdictions. Now that I've seen a photograph of it I recognize that I've seen it on plenty of cars in Texas. I don't know how many jurisdictions use the symbol but it's not in common use in California, Illinois, Washington (state) at least. The story behind it is common to every jurisdiction I've seen degrees in, but not its use as a symbol for our ladies.

I bought my wife the car sticker and she basically told me she didn't want a blue "bowling pin" sticker on her car. >_<

It's got an S&C so its basic meaning is clear. Until I read of the slipper on this forum I'd seen a few on cars in Texas (nowhere else yet) and figured it was a locally popular symbol.
