That sigil resembles very closely the sort of 'magic' writing of the Calabar region's Secret Societies, nisibi, that are part of the AbaquĆ” religion, which is practiced in Cuba, as well as back there in the Oil Rivers region of West Africa -- partly Nigeria now, and Cameroon.

They have these 'play' cycles that go on for years -- this is where the Leopard Secret Societies still matter -- they were major players in the slave trade back in the 18th and 19th centuries -- and with all their mercantile - power struggles, a lot of them got swept away to Cuba as slaves themselves when one faction lost to another.

Love, C.
