The demons are flying at the ladder. The demons are depicted in order to remind the observer that they exist. Such evil spiritual beings, act upon us through mental suggestion and assaults. Their tails symbolize their fallen state, their animalistic state.
The demons also symbolize various [[sin]]s. Saint John's book minutely analyzes the nature of the passions of [[pride]], gluttony, lust, anger, despondency, malice, and so on.
