Half-Circle Portals on the Outer Edge of Rays
Image A is incredibly important to me because it has half-circle portal symbols on the outer edge of each ray. My half-portals collection has many examples (if you don't recognize them yet): https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/half-portals/
Image B interchanges the inner and outer symbols, showing us they are all portal symbols, even the round dots. I think the black void in the middle of A and B, and the faces of C and D are the actual portal, and the outgoing rays or wavy hair is like the fire style of energy (leaked?) around the periphery of the portal.
Image E has peripheral outflows from it's hat portal that begin as smooth path but then become more wavy and curled, and those curls are what I think are forming exit portals for that energy. Image D has tight curls at the ends of the wavy hair, I think the curls are a similar meaning as those half-circle portals, where that energy leaves our reality. If you follow my posts closely, you may recall a post about the "circle with outer dots", https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/circle-with-outer-dots/ and I thought those outer dots were a barrier around the circular portal. I haven't abandoned that, but now I have to include the possibility of them sometimes being peripheral exit portals for energy that leaked at the edges of the portal. Maybe "leaked" is not a good word, instead, if there is an outer barrier to the portal torus, some of the little tori forming the barrier will have outflows directed outward preferentially along the convex surface.
