Seal of Premonition

Drawn on the body to induce premonitions and other manners of psychic vision. Best when drawn on the left wrist, left breast or at the third eye.

Ponto Riscado  – of – Rosa Caveira da Lixeira 

While not necessarily a separate entity, da Lixeira is the aspect of Rosa Caveira that Devours. It is she who feeds on the negativity and purges it with her sulphuric fires. She is ecstatic, she is ferocious and she is cleansing.

She appears (to me) in the form of a woman – tall and lean with large, black, ringlet curls and tanned skin. While her features are soft (like the other aspects) her expression is pointed. She exudes a white hot-force that crackles in the air, and uses her long, sharp nails to rip at those who dare face her. Her eyes beat savage – primal, vibrating – and a terrifying smile plays at her lips.

Heavy, beat-ladden music is best when working with her, as it seems to both heighten and focus her otherwise chaotic energy.

**not to be confused with Maria Mulambo da Lixeira**

This is my re-imagination of Yaya’s ponto – I think it captures her nicely!

Seal of the Three-Headed Serpent

Life | Death | Rebirth

Past | Present | Future

“As the molting skin of past sloughs – crawl
On fresh belly forward – through the now
And into the arcane Oblivion –

Endlessly born,
Endlessly living,
Endlessly dying.”

I also made a more recreation-friendly version.

Seed of Life
