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]].
'''[[Archangel Gabriel]]''' is an [[archangel]] with power to announce [[Yahweh|God's]] will to men. He is mentioned in the [[Bible|Hebrew Bible]], the New Testament, and the Quran. The [[Abrahamic religion]]s all recognize Gabriel as an [[angel]]ic spirit. Many [[Christianity|Christian]] traditions — including Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicanism — also revere Gabriel as a [[saint]].
