Demon horns being broken halos from when they were angels. 

Here’s a visual representation of angels and demons.

I figure that as angels, their “horns” would glow when connected to become traditional halos. However, this blinds the angel with heavenly light, making the angel rely on God’s guidance.

Angels who break their halos become demons, and willingly grow their horns in obscure shapes so it won’t connect back into a halo. Because the halo no longer blinds them, demons can finally see but can no longer communicate with God for guidance – the light they once gave to heaven now belongs to them, hence demons being proficient with fire allowing them to see in the dark.

Extra notes on horns & halos:

Circular horns (Halos) are smooth and easy for God to “grab” like a chain.

The only way angels can break their own halos is through strong, direct, hard force; rebellious angels willingly fell from heaven, breaking their halos upon hitting our world’s surface. That’s why demons are called “fallen angels”.

The only thing that can hurt God and other angels is another angel, so the shattered remains of a demon’s old halo would be reformed into tridents and pitchforks commonly associated with the devil.

Aries: The sound of grinding metal in the distant night. The strain of something trying trying trying to resist its own fate. What is left of it will become home to hermit crabs.

Taurus: The thing burning on re-entry. The white-hot streaks of matter that crumble and melt to dust. The sting of the one that grazed your cheek. The hairline scar you still bear.

Gemini: The knowledge you may die parched and hungry. The acid boiling in your gut. The venom dripping from between your teeth. You have been starved for far too long. 

Cancer: You’ve come across something you should not have interrupted. Run. Run now. Go, or the very earth will swallow you whole.

Leo: Take it. Its yours. You won this. Too many voices telling you yes yes yes. Only the coldest and loneliest part of yourself resists. The part of you that will wait.

Virgo: What’s done is done. These earthen spirits have found new form. They cling to the sparks they still have. Waiting.

Libra: You held something in your hand that made you so wistful, so desirous of something you already possessed. It made you want to write, to make art. Maybe it just brought out the best in you. It sure brought out something.

Scorpio: You will succeed where your sisters failed. Fight through the burns, through the lost and forgotten. You have already sacrificed so much.

Ophiuchus: The garter snakes that wind about your garden tell you much. You don’t realize it at the moment, but just watch as everything blooms. Everything.

Sagittarius: A claim is only as good as a claim. Talk is cheap, the time will come to dance.

Capricorn: If only you could hear the wind at night. The way it rings the girders and concrete of the world. Vast tuning forks droning their subsonic opera to the night. If only you could hear. 

Aquarius: All this color and noise. So many strangers milling about. It would be hard to notice a stranger to all walking among them. Something that never enters and never exits.

The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem. 

Rahdue’s Wheel, a 78-card spread.

If you were wondering what this would be like, wonder no more.

Since my best friend and I have a great deal of magickal motivation and are clearly insane, WE COMPLETED THIS READING.

It was roughly 5 hours of direct cardwork and reading, but we took breaks for food and rest, so the total time spent, between taking the cards out of the box and putting them back in, was about 9 HOURS.

(Photo ft. bad lighting and my unbrushed hair.)

I had the privilege of choosing the cards, setting them up, and giving the reading for my much-beloved @haemoferedoll, who was a very patient and open querent.

By the end of the reading, we were decidedly exhausted.  My eyes were blurry, my head was swimming, my brain seemed to have deteriorated into rude, viscous mush, and my throat felt raw and sore from having talked so much.  Even my joints were achy.  I was basically an old crone by the end of it.

But, oh, let me learn you a thing.  THIS SHIT WAS  

E N L I G H T E N I N G.

The cards spelled out a clear story, with significant life lessons, warnings, and even illuminating information about past lives.  I’ve honestly never had a reading with such clear and definitive messages.  It was like the veil just parted to let the universe throw us some handy-dandy-4-1-1.  

For real, the cards were super specific and helpful.

Actually, after we were done, I was told that the reading was “more helpful than years of therapy.”~.  Potential hyperbole aside, I think the reading really did assist real and significant progress for my friend, which I’m wicked pumped about. 

IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS READING YOURSELF, I say to fuckin’ go for it.  It was a great experience as a diviner, an awesome chance to practice, and very affirming of my ability, and @haemoferedoll found it really helpful.  

However, PLEASE read all of the detailed information on the spread and how it works BEFORE you start the reading. If you don’t, you’re gonna have a hell of a bad time.  

Also, be aware that a significant portion of the reading revolves around past lives. If that doesn’t align with your personal beliefs, I would suggest you either skip those parts of the reading, or replace them with specific questions of your own.

ALSO.  I’m pretty sure this reading doesn’t NEED to last so long.  I was extremely thorough, and I’m very picky with choosing cards, so just the process of setting up took almost an hour.  

I also personally went into a lot detail with helping my friend interpret the cards and their story.  If you simply do a quick overview, I bet the reading would be way faster and much less of an ordeal.

For me though, the “ordeal” of it made it an experience.  It was absolutely worth the effort for what I got out of it.

TL;DR: We did the thing.  We liked the thing.  The thing was exhausting.  If you do the thing yourself, do the thing your own way and be smart about it.
