About the Demon Inside

The Demon Inside: A Study in Asteroids

Did you ever meet someone who seemed completely normal, and then they did something that changed the way you saw them forever? What is a person truly capable of? Who are they beneath the roles they play? What is hidden inside?

Astrology suggests that every birth chart carries its own pattern of archetypes. Beyond the familiar planets lies a vast field of asteroids bearing the names of gods, monsters, heroes, historical figures, literary characters, and timeless ideas. Together, they form a symbolic language of the psyche—a way of exploring the parts of ourselves we rarely acknowledge.

There are parts of ourselves we hide from the world—and parts we hide from ourselves. The Demon Inside is a shadow-work oracle, guidebook, and Shadow Density System built upon the asteroids of astrology, mythology, literature, and medieval art. Through 124 carefully selected asteroids and their archetypal expressions, The Demon Inside explores the forces that shape desire, fear, grief, obsession, power, and transformation. This is not a deck about defeating your darkness. It is a deck about finally learning its name.

124 Asteroids - here are a few

• Bacchus - Loss of Control
• Casanova - Calculated Seduction
• Chiron - Wounded Healer
• Circe - Enchanted Manipulation
• Eris - Seeded Conflict

More about the Deck and Book

Use it as an oracle deck. Use it for shadow work. Use it as an astrology reference. Use it alongside tarot as a clarifier. There is no single way to work with this deck, because there is no single way to understand yourself.

An accompanying app is currently in development. Enter a birth date, time, and location to discover which asteroids are active within a natal chart, measure their Shadow Density, and explore the archetypes they reveal.

Whether you come to this project through astrology, tarot, mythology, psychology, or simple curiosity, you may discover that the things you fear most are not strangers at all.

They have been waiting for you.
