Simbi is loa of fresh waters, the rivers, marshes, and rain. Several vastly different vevers are traditionally used for Simbi; I have selected the one most often used to accompany the sacrifice of a bull.
Here, the bull itself has been transformed into an aquatic creature. As for Agwé, the enclosing circle has become a tandem Hermetic ouroboros to symbolize the cycles of life, as the clouds recycle the earth's waters as rain. Decorative motifs believed to derive from the Masonic square-and-compass have here been made explicit. The crayfish crawling up from the bottom of the vever is from Tarot trump XVIII, the Moon, which controls the tides where Simbi's and Agwé's realms meet.
