Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: In the symbol, the downward pointing triangle of the hexagram is replaced with a heart, is, among other attributions.

I believe it may be Rastafarian and refers to the courage of a lion. It also refers to Tifareth on the Cabalistic Tree of Life, the solar center (heart) which is also the seat of Love and Beauty.

Within the circle of the divine the symbol means that only within altered or mystical states of consciousness (union with the divine) can this integration of opposites occur.

And yes, the band HIM has adopted this as their own and call it a Heartgram.
