Cone Hats with Horns Symbolizing Bidirectional Energy Flow

The cone hat with horns. I did a lot of work on this, only to discover that the maker of images A to E already knew the result. They are from Babylonian Tarot cards, and the cone with horns is being used in a center flow position, so it is bidirectional marker.

Images read as energy-flow symbolism: The cone hat with horns. I did a lot of work on this, only to

Normally a cone hat or conehead is sufficient to mean an upward flow, and I was confused about the function of those horns, and unsure of their flow direction.

Then I saw image F and realized, they are "horizontal". The horns are meaning flow coming down and entering the head-torus at the horizontal plane (which is the headband in this situation).

Why are there multiple horns? Image G gives a clue, there is a horizontal line at each horn level. That reminds me of the horizontal lines on the djed, which are barriers for higher and higher tori/realities.

Here is evidence based on opposite polarities. Image H has an upward "Sol" head, and a bidirectional horns hat. Image I has an upward Lion. Image J has an upward fish.

Image K is one of those long-neck-birds with an upward outflow that is curving and re-entering at the horizontal plane of the bird's body. I think it's equivalent to what these horns hats are intending.

I don't know why this particular flow path is special. There seems to be a variety of loop-back flow paths, that seem to just be teaching about high-density energy coming down to us from a higher reality. A "Luna" type of portal flow, considered divine.

I have a different post about horns that bring flow to the top of the head: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1QYAaT6zGH/ which is different from flow into the horizontal plane. I have a lot of examples of horns-hats in this collection: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/horns-hat/

Regarding Mesopotamian pictograms, it seems to me that every aspect of them is symbolic, their hair styles, clothing, hats, and hand-held symbols. Was any of it a literal way of dressing? Are the names and stories just a distraction?

This post may seem inconsequential, but I predict future spin-offs will come from it.
