'''[[Lucifuge Rofocale]]''' according to ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]'', is the [[demon]] in charge of Hell's government and treasury by order of [[Lucifer]].
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]].


The name "Lucifugus" comes from two Latin words: ''lux ''("light"; genitive ''lucis''), and ''fugio'' ("to flee"), which means "[he who] flees the light". "Rofocal" is possibly an anagram of "[[Focalor]]", the name of a [[Goetic demon]]. In some modern [[left-hand path]] belief systems, the demon Lucifuge is said to be the ruler of the qliphoth Satariel. This belief originally comes from a claimed translation of an ancient Hebrew manuscript made by [[Eliphas Levi]] and has since then gained acceptance.


Lucifuge Rofocale is featured in the [[Occult Tarot]] by [[Travis McHenry]]. The demon is the [[Ace of Pentacles]] card.

The Echols Sigil Oracle is a deck of 42 oracle cards created by occultists Damien Echols, Travis McHenry and Lorri Davis. It is somewhat unique because it exclusively utilizes sigils in its artwork and is specifically designed for use in ritual magic as well as divination. The Echols Sigil Oracle contains 42 cards, a 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.
