Qebehsenuef is one of the four sons of Horus, along with Hapy, Duamutef, and Imsety. Qebehsenuef is usually portrayed with the head of a falcon. In a funerary context, he was responsible for protecting the intestines of mummified people. As ruler of one of the four cardinal directions, Qebehsenuef was associated with the west. Although Qebehsenuef is most prominently found in funerary context as a canopic jar, he is possibly more closely associated with the Egyptian decans. Dutch Egyptologist Maarten Raven argues that the four sons originated as celestial deities, given that the Pyramid Texts frequently connect them with the sky and that Horus himself was a sky deity.

-The '''''[[Grimoire of Sigil Magic]]''''' is a modern [[grimoire]] of [[ritual magic]] which focuses on techniques involving [[sigil]] and [[talisman]]ic magic. The book was a collaborative effort written by [[Travis McHenry]], [[Damien Echols]], and [[Lorri Davis]]. The book was initially published by [[Bloodstone Studios]] in late 2024 as a companion to the [[Echols Sigil Oracle]], a deck of [[oracle cards]] which uses the same [[sigil]]s as are found in the book. The first edition is a hardcover book bound in red linen with a matte black metallic sigil embossed on the cover and the title embossed on the spine. The initial print run of 700 copies sold out almost immediately.
