It's been showing up constantly again—sometimes, seconds after I've turned my back: the number eight, coiled out of anything that can be coiled by demons, after something magical happens. Sort of like a calling card (as if I needed one):

| This weekend, demons shaped the top of this number eight made out of electrical cord in a way that resembles the profile of a hobgoblin demon's hood |
With these latest 'eights,' and since I first mentioned the figure eights in

| Also this weekend, demons placed my USB cord on a chair as I rose from it and, when I turned around, had formed it into a stylized figure eight in mere seconds |
But, looking back to the 'eights' shown in
Demon in tree manipulates branches to form letter 'J', I see the same stylized eight in some of the photos of those eights. For example:

| An older photo of a demon-made figure eight also shows the stylized top, which was not recognized back then |
