I love Dante's series of books. Reference them often. They are an amazing poetic and metaphoric wonderland. If you looked at his work from my perspective, it might blow your mind.
I know this level well - been what would be called a "heretic" since I was born - drove my strict Christian father crazy how much I questioned our religious doctrine when I was little. The curse of being autistic and not knowing that some questions can be dangerous.
I'm more familiar with the 9th level - frozen. Satan herself.... or so I've been called most of my life. I've learned to wear it well. Also, from Dante's perspective, it would make sense that Satan would be a water creature.... frozen healer. Sounds like an oxymoron. haha. Remind me to tell you the story of being Satan herself. 😄🤔💙💜🖤
