Unseparated

undefined: In the practice of dæmonism, an individual who is unseparated does not currently have an active dæmon or does not currently have active contact with their dæmon. It can be applied to individuals who have never practised the 'dæmon-having' aspect of dæmonism at all, or to individuals (dæmians) who have practiced the 'dæmon-having' aspect of dæmonism at some point in the past but have since stopped or currently do not do so. An individual can experience periods of separation and unseparation from their dæmon over the course of their life. There are also varying degrees of separation; one's dæmon may be very compartmentalised from oneself and very individuated, or a person and their dæmon may be more enmeshed with one another while still being individuals.

Some dæmians choose not to create or interact with a dæmon, instead only participating in a second pillar of dæmonism known as "form finding" - exploring a number of community- or self-derived "(personality-typing) systems" that assign an animal or animal-like creature to a personality by interpretation of behaviours, folklore or other associations. Both "form finding" and/or interacting with a dæmon are equally authentic ways to be a dæmian. Therefore, a person can be unseparated/not have a dæmon and still be a dæmian.

The practice of dæmonism is not plural and it does not make one a system.
