The lozenge is the servant of God

That's all I've been able to recover of a dream: "The lozenge is the servant of God." What bugs me is that I'm sure the dream was about two important symbols -- the lozenge and -- and -- but the thing is gone from me. Other than a vague sense of something circular, I cannot recall what the second symbol was or what it meant.

Upon waking, my first thought was that this was likely a female servant of God, since the lozenge is the traditional shape of the escutcheon in an unmarried lady's coat of arms. My second thought was that the lozenge is the suit of Diamonds, corresponding to the Tarot suit of Coins or Pentacles. Putting these two thoughts together, I came up with the Nine of Pentacles, which belongs to the "lozenge" suit and portrays a noblewoman, such as might have her own coat of arms on a lozenge-shaped escutcheon.
