Who’s Your Daemon?
After having a friend recommend and lend her book to me (thanks, Christine!) I am now an admirer of Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials Trilogy” of which the first book is “The Golden Compass”. Of course, I had seen some trailers for the movie which is releasing to theaters in December, but prefered to read the novel before indulging in the movie. One of the many concepts within the book is the idea that each person is assigned a “daemon” when born, which is actually a outward manifestation of one’s soul (and appears to draw heavily on Jung’s concept of the anima and animus). These daemons reflect a person’s attitude by having the ability to change shape into that of an animal or mythical being. Being the sucker that I am for all things shapeshifting, occult or animals (and the idea of having a familiar a childhood fantasy) I was completely drawn in. After going through the Golden Compass movie site, I found a quiz “Meet your Daemon”, and of course, just had to take it, with these results.

Howdy, what entice you to post an article on Who’s Your Daemon?? This article was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Monday.
