Quimbanda is an Afro-Brazilian religion practiced primarily in the urban city centers of Brazil. The religion borrowed many aspects of other traditions, especially Umbanda and Candomblé. Quimbanda's practices are often focused on worldly success regarding money and sex. The religion shares much of the philosophy of LaVeyan Satanism, although it is more focused on the invocation of spirits.

-This watercolour painting from the '''[[Rosicrucian|Russian Rosicrucian Order, AMORC]]''' was created in 1933. The Rosicrucians are a spiritual and cultural movement that arose in Europe in the early 17th century after the publication of several texts announcing to the world a new esoteric order. Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross. In later centuries, many esoteric societies have claimed to derive from the original Rosicrucians. The most influential of these societies has been the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], which derived from Societas Rosicruciana in Anglia and counted many prominent figures among its members. The largest is the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, a multinational organization based in San Jose, California.

-According to the writings of the Masonic historian E.J. Marconis de Negre, the Rosicrucian Order was created in the year 46 when an Alexandrian [[Gnosticism|Gnostic]] sage named Ormus and his six followers were converted by one of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]' disciples, Mark. Their symbol was said to be a red cross surmounted by a rose, thus the designation of Rosy Cross. From this conversion, Rosicrucianism was born, by purifying [[Egyptian religion|Egyptian mysteries]] with the new higher teachings of early [[Christianity]].
