Quinconce (Quincunx)
The arrangement of five units in the patter corresponding to the five-spot on dice, playing cards, or dominoes. A quincunx is often used in Hoodoo as a sort of "artifical crossroad" and can be created inside a room in the house. The quincunx or five-spot is generally used for scaling and fixing spells in place.
"You see this pattern here? That's a quinconce, that's a five spot."
"That's used for hoodoo spellwork, isn't it?"
"[...] You fill [this flowerpot] with blood root and you've got yourself a powerful charm to war off enemies."
The reference and symbol appears to be derived from Lucky Mogo.
