The Occult - Occultopedia: The Occult and Unexplained Encyclopedia Avia Venefica: Behind the Signs at Whats-Your-Sign.com Avia Venefica contends the universe and all its contents is a sacred energy that uses organic symbolism as a platform for expression. She actively pursues deeper meaning in life events (individually and collectively) and employs an archetypal, gestalt use of symbolic interpretation to gain insight into these life events.
