"The drawings that were made, are all according to traditional designs [in Haitian Vodou]. These are called 'veve'. There are lots and lots of examples online, cf. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veve Note: There are 401 spirits (but this is a mythical number and it's probably far larger). Every spirit and group of spirits has his/her/its own veve. Every Vodou congregation (a 'House') has different veve. A Manbo or Houngan (priest) should know hundreds of veve by heart and be able to make them like I did yesterday." at the Amstelkerk 2nd opening of Salon/Big Bang  _Maria van Daalen
