| A dæmon is a [[thoughtform]] representation of one's subconscious, inner thoughts, or soul given a sentient form. It is most commonly an animal form<ref>https://daemonpage.com/introduction.php</ref>. A person who creates a dæmon is also known as a Dæmian. Dæmons are often [[Projection|projected]] outside of the Dæmian.
| | '''Dæmonism''' is the practice of communicating with one's internal [[dæmon]], inspired by Philip Pullman's ''His Dark Materials'' novels. The term may refer to the community, the practice, the presence of a dæmon, or the act of a [[dæmian]] communicating with their dæmon. |
| | |
| The concept of modern dæmonism was heavily inspired by Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, but there are some dæians who have not read the books nor are fans, and dæmonism has taken a community of its own.
| |
| | |
| Dæmons and dæmains may also celebrate their CIEday, or coming into existence day. This is the day when a dæmain begins talking to or creating their dæmon.
| |
| | |
| Some dæmains also have multiple daemons for any reason, this is known as multidae.
| |
| | |
| == Forms ==
| |
| A form is how a dæmon appears to the dæmian. Analyzing animals with the intention of them being potential dæmon forms is a common practice.<ref>https://daemonpage.com/terminology.php</ref>
| |
| | |
| A dæmon picking a permanent form is known as "settling", but not every dæmon/dæmain has the intention of doing so. Some settled dæmons and dæmains celebrate their SFday, or settled-form day.
| |
| | |
| Types of forms include the following:
| |
| | |
| '''True Form''': A dæmon's settled form which represents the dæmian's personality and symbolism, and what that is depends on the individual. Often overlaps with other types of forms.
| |
| | |
| '''Analytic Form''': A form based on a detailed analysis on animal traits and behaviors in relation to one's personality.
| |
| | |
| '''Pullman Form/Symbolic Form''': A form based on one's personal symbolism with an animal or associations. Based on one's identity and cultural classifications more than personality.
| |
| | |
| '''Comfort Form''' - A form a dæmon takes to comfort a dæmain but doesn't necessarily match with personality or symbolism.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Personal Form''' - A form that does not fit with any of the above, but is still important to the dæmian/dæmon because of personal meaning.
