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]].
'''[[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.

Zé Pilintra is one of the most important entities among several 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.
