The stream of existence is manifested as light from the divine being of God. The closer we are the stronger the impact is felt. As an artist the reasoning going into a drawing might not focus much on the halo. How many halos should I give? One, two, five, nine? The flame and light may not enter one's thought. A lot of work did go into the halo. Not all halos must be circular. They can be pointed. One reason for so much effort is the fact that the halo is a very old design. The halo can involve multiple halos with shapes like ellipses, and circles. Not all halos are alike. The halo for each entity is different. An Angel. Notice the symbol upon the forehead. An Archangel A saint Notice the eight pointed star on the dress, on the right hand side of the image. Can you see the Third Eye symbol? It is often missed. Looking for text on the subject is not easy. Yet the rules for drawing the halo were clearly defined. As an exercise. Take a compass and determine the extent of a circular halo emanating from a head. Next determine the radius. You will find that the origin of the circle corresponds in the human body where the Pineal Gland is located. These artists knew precisely to show that the halo has at its center the pineal gland. This particular painting has at the top the moon and sun. They refer to the lunar and solar currents that intertwine upon our spine and provide the sacred breath. The halo can be in the form of a flame, It can be in the shape of a lotus flower. The halo can be emanating from the solar plexus. In this example their are two halos. One is centered at the pineal gland. The second halo can you guess where the center is located? Depending on the application some figures will not reveal a halo, just wings. Some figures will reveal a flame about their person. Some figures will have a halo and a cross.
