The demon Murmur, also known by the name of Murmus, corresponding to the Ten of Primordial Fire (the equivalent of the Ten of Wands in the classic tarot), is an infernal, chthonic, necromantic entity who appears as a warrior riding upon a gryphon and wearing a ducal crown upon his head, cloaked in funerary imagery and surrounded by trumpets that make no sound. He presides over death without decay, forgotten knowledge, and things buried but intact
Murmur is associated with the stillness of graves, with the low vibration of cold air, with the memory within bones, with echoes, rather than speech, with tombs, ash, ruins untouched by time, and the whispering of the wind through stone. He is linked with Saturn, with themes portrayed by the eighth and twelfth astrological houses, and with fixed darkness rather than chaos. He is neither cruel nor kind, prioritizing function over feeling and order within death
When Murmur is present you'll feel pressure in the ears, stillness in the chest, your thoughts slowing down, and an overall sense of emotional flattening. He speaks in a detached, impersonal, ancient tone unmoved by fear or desire
Murmur appears in readings when there are unresolved past influences, messages from what was buried, and the need for silence and detachment as a prerequisite for clarity
Today he is asking you to stop carrying what belongs to the past, as you seem to be caught in a loop. You don't owe an explanation or an announcement, allow yourself to be silent. You have reached your Saturnian limit which requires sealing a cycle. Withdraw your energy from the situation, lay the weight down not by force, but by refusal to repeat yourself. This silence is not avoidance - it is jurisdiction. Saturn’s limit isn’t punishment, it’s an enforced boundary for your nervous system and spirit, while Murmur’s presence emphasizes controlled descent, not collapse. You’re not meant to explain, clarify, or even understand it further. The work you have to perform now is that of containment, not of processing
Some warnings associated with this demon are emotional numbness or obsession with the dead or with the past leading to withdrawal from the living
