"It all goes back to Ancient Hebrew, which, like a lot of ancient languages, didn’t have quite enough words for all of the things the writers of the Bible wanted to talk about (not like today when we have very good words, the best words, everyone says so). Specifically, it didn’t have a word for a ray of light, so most biblical authors used the Hebrew word for horn, because the shape of a ray of light is kind of, sort of, like the shape of a horn, I guess. So, in Exodus chapter 34, after spending several days on Mt. Sinai, taking down God’s dictation of the Ten Commandments, Moses’ face is described as being “horned.” The writers of the third-century–B.C. Septuagint, the Ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, got the gist and rendered the word as glorified—that is, shining with the glory of God—but then St. Jerome had to come along 700 years later and screw everything up."

The scribes who wrote that down later on should have shown some initiative and invented a new word for this!
They translated literally when they should have translated figuratively.
If you read the article, horns were not always associated with Satan.
not like today when we have very good words, the best words, everyone says so
well played, sir
It was Abraham and the burning bush, not Moses.
Moses having "horns" was merely a translation error.
And, no, none of this is satanic or black magic.
