'''[[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.
'''[[Alchemy]]''' is an ancient branch of natural philosophy, a philosophical and protoscientific tradition that was historically practiced in China, India, the Muslim world, and Europe. In its Western form, alchemy is first attested in a number of pseudepigraphical texts written in Greco-Roman Egypt during the first few centuries CE. Using the [[Emerald Tablet]] as their fundamental Hermetic text, [[Islam]]ic and European alchemists developed a basic set of laboratory techniques, theories, and terms, some of which are still in use today. They did not abandon the Ancient Greek philosophical idea that everything is composed of four elements, and they tended to guard their work in secrecy, often making use of cyphers and cryptic symbolism.
