This spiritual duality is fought in the songs, the pictures and the videos. Notice on the above images the Christian cross of the good and pure Beyonce  versus Sasha Fierce who is mimicking devil horns with her hands. Songs like \u201cAve Maria\u201d and \u201cHalo\u201d on her album contain obvious spiritual connotations and can be interpreted as either religious songs or odes to her satanic possessor. The persona of Sasha Fierce &#8211; who is presented as a separate entity- always wears heavy makeup on her eyes, if not sunglasses which represent her deceptive nature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vigilantcitizen.com\/?p=604\" target=\"_blank\">Read the full article here<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='wp_likes' id='wp_likes_post-676'><a class='like' href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(676);\" title='Like' ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.galmin.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-likes\/images\/like.png?w=750&#038;ssl=1\" alt='' border='0'\/><\/a><span class='text'>1 person likes this post.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class='like' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.like(676);\">Like<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='unlike' ><a href=\"javascript:wp_likes.unlike(676);\">Unlike<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Along with her new album, Beyonce has presented her fans to a new alter-ego named Sasha Fierce.
