GO Find Your Soul
June 19th, 2008 by Empress NightshadeHiddy-ho! Gwendel here with a question for all of you. But, first let me set the scene…..
I was watching the movie The Golden Compass the other day. My eldest thought I would find it rubbish since the concept of the movie is the soul moves around outside the body rather than inward which goes against what my christian upbringing dictates. On the contrary, I found this movie to be quite fascinating.
Each individuals soul or “daemon” (demon) was a representation of who they were and they walked, flew, hopped or crawled beside their masters. For example, the daemons for the army were all wolves while one of the towns gang involved boy’s daemon was a rat. The individual and their daemon were inseparable and when one suffered pain, the other suffered, as well. If the individual should happen to die, their daemon would instantly vanish into cinders.
After watching The Golden Compass, I began wondering what my daemon would be. Since it represents who you are and I find myself being so many different things, I have yet to pinpoint an animal in particular. My first choice was a hippopotamus seeing as I’m large and slow to walk, but once I get my teeth on you, there’s no turning back. However, I am also a chameleon — changing my colors and moods along with my surroundings.
So, here’s my question: What animal would closely represent your daemon?
I would think that a cat represent me very well….independent, curious, snuggly, adventurous and stealthy
Haven’t saw the movie…but I think I may have to see it now, sound very interesting

I think mine would be a laborador retriever. Loyal, helps others, playful, intuitive, nurturing, family oriented, intellegent, teachable, loves attention, etc.
Moppet and I love this movie…. it really strikes a cord with us…
the children Daemons also can change from one to another creature until the children grow up….
Not sure what mine would be…. hard question…
if it could be anything probably some mythical creature such as a unicorn or Pegasus…
For the reason they are both mysterious, hard to make sense of, everyone would like one, is its own self, etc.. and nobody knows if they ever existed at all… hehehehehe…

Mmmm, good question Empress.
My overall daemon would be a chameleomn like yourself but at present it would be a catterpillar.
Watch out for the butterfly.
That’s beautiful, Lib.

a donkey as many women have commented on me being ‘like a donkey’.
not well hung
I eat anything and crap on beaches
LOL = Pagan! I can just imagine people seeing you and your daemon coming and whisper, “Hey…here comes the ass.”

Oh, so that’s what that movie was all about. Wow, that makes the idea of ripping a person’s daemon from them sooo much creepier, like nights with the cryptkeeper creepy. I heard this movie had atheist views though, which is confusing to me, since the concept of a soul definitely isn’t atheist.
I think my daemon would be a bird of some kind, since I’ve always wanted to fly like birds do, and be so close to the sun and clouds.

Welcome back Empress….
Our daemon?
Whatever the eye of the viewer aw who created the reality -hows that for being in a transient state?
**OHM**
**OHM**
(Chanting continues as metamoprhosis kicks in)
Sorry,
Metamorphosis - as inpired by Kafkas grasshopper tale.
A winged white horse would work IF we had to choose - nothing too obvious
Wouldn’t that be Pegasus?

Pegasus would work nicely with clip on / clip off wings.
LOL

Funny you should choose a rabbit. Sam Elliot, that big HUNK of a man with white hair and a voice that could make me orgasm at anytime — his daemon was a rabbit. Of all things! But, it showed me he’s genteel, as well.
