Hida has me conflicted as we just had quite the vivid dream of him being an eagle and crane instead of his standard barred owl

Hey Daemians

If the roles were reversed, where you were the daemon & your daemon(s) were human, do you think you would have the same form as them? If not, what form do you think you’d be?

I feel like I’d end up as a Flamingo if I were Hida or Myrel’s daemon.

30 Days of Daemonism

Day 1: What is your current form and why?

Hida’s a Barred Owl, almost always has been and likely always will be.

You see, a funny thing happened when I went on a field trip to a nature reserve for a middle school photography class. It was the thick of winter, so none of us were expecting many photos beyond birds at feeders and snowy, dead tree landscapes. However, right outside the visitor center at the trailhead, this owl had swooped down to try for a squirrel but came up short and sulked in a tree. I got plenty of amazing shots of it. It was the first owl I’d ever seen out in the wild, I felt very in awe of its swift flight and noble, if a bit broody, stature. Thing is? When I tried to talk about it after with anyone, it turned out that I was literally the only person who witnessed the failed attack, or even noticed the owl at all.

The feeling that I had from being one on one with that owl just sort of followed me home from there, and has been with me ever since as Hida.

30 Days of Daemonism

Day 2: What have you learned about yourself since discovering your daemon/form/etc?

That I’m sharper (both in intelligence and personality) than I probably care to admit. My temper can be short at times, because I have little patience for those that can’t keep up mentally.

Otherwise, most interpretations of barred owls - and owls in general - reconfirm most of what I know about myself: selectively social, very private, self-sufficient, cautious, a planner but flexible towards unexpected events, and I try to be very unobtrusive to others. A practically perfect fit in every way!
