The '''[[Echols Sigil Oracle]]''' is a deck of 42 [[oracle cards]] created by [[occultist]]s [[Damien Echols]], [[Travis McHenry]] and [[Lorri Davis]]. It is somewhat unique because it exclusively utilizes [[sigil]]s in its artwork and is specifically designed for use in [[ritual magic]] as well as [[divination]]. The Echols Sigil Oracle contains 42 cards, a [[numerology|number]] with ancient spiritual connotations, including veiled references to the 42 Assessors of Maat who judged the souls of the dead in the afterlife alongside [[Osiris]] in the [[Egyptian religion]]. This number is also found scattered throughout the [[Bible]], especially in the Old Testament, where it appears in 12 different verses. In the New Testament, it appears twice in the [[Book of Revelation]] in reference to the [[Antichrist]].
'''[[Zé Pilintra]]''' is one of the most important entities among several [[African diaspora religion|Afro-Brazilian religions]]. He is considered the patron [[saint]] of bars, poor people, and street hustlers. Although not aligned with negative entities, Zé Pelintra is the embodiment of a "rogue" archetype. Although reverence for him originated from the Catimbó tradition in the Northeast Region of Brazil, devotion to him has spread throughout Brazil after he was incorporated into [[Umbanda]]. Perhaps most widely, he is invoked as the father of the “Brazilian way." A kind of cunning trickster figure, a master of street-smarts that the Brazilian people inherited from enslaved African that continues to help them survive discrimination and racism.
