I’m not sure where I’d be if I didn’t somehow cross paths with the His Dark Materials series. I’ve long forgotten how I first got my hands on the books but that memory alone isn’t incredibly important. These stories kept reappearing in my life over and over purely by chance begging me to look deeper.

I’m incredibly glad that I did. While I see Pullman’s books through a very religious lens I don’t think that’s the only way to incorporate the messages into your life. While many of the messages were things I already believed, these books cemented them deep into my brain. I’d recommend them to somebody looking for purpose and meaning above any religious text or self help book.

Plus it’s just a truly brilliant work of fiction from a surface level. The amount of worldbuilding and detail is something I wish more authors would be willing to use in their stories. It feels like Pullman could write stories for another hundred years and we’d still learn new things.

I think there’s something so symbolic about people who have daemons who settled as animals not native to where they grew up. People who are so far from where they belong but often don’t even realize it or give their daemon’s form a second thought. Do they long to go to where their daemon would be more at home? If so, do they chase that feeling or do they ignore it?

Lee Scorseby ended up far in the arctic simply looking for work, not even aware that Hester was an Arctic Hare until Iorek told him. He had assumed that Hester was a Jackrabbit and only realized that the arctic meant something to him after speaking with Iorek. He could’ve found work anywhere else but he somehow ended up where he needed to be anyways.

Lord Asriel is probably the most interesting example of this though. He was always traveling, always looking for something, never being content to relax and exist in one place for long. The first time we ever see him he’s described as looking like a wild animal trapped in a small cage, totally out of place with his surroundings. When he finally stops moving is when he creates the Republic of Heaven and the basalt fortress is built. It’s in another world with vague geography, but it’s likely roughly within natural snow leopard range. The last place Asriel ever lives is where he and Stelmaria might’ve finally felt some sense of belonging.

It’s not something given much depth and thought within the books, but in a way it doesn’t need to be. We get to see it naturally in a way that isn’t forced. It’s beautiful and real just like many of the other intricacies regarding daemons. It adds to these people as people instead of becoming something too fantastical and bizarre.

I’d like to quickly thank everyone who has interacted with my blog today. I was not expecting for my posts to get this much attention, especially not all in just one day. The fact that people are interested in what I’m doing brings me so much joy and fulfillment. I hope to have more to share very soon.

I am currently working on some resources for Daemointus and ways to make it a more practical system. I still need to develop the magic side of the system, but when it comes to daemons I have enough info to start compiling into something usable.

My first project is a master doc compiling many different species. It references their physical characteristics, their behavior, their ecosystem and ecological niche, and finally their role in mythology/folklore and spiritual attributes. This is going to take a very long time, so it will always be available in unfinished format to those within FPFRT. I plan on starting with animals shown within His Dark Materials along with ones I'm familiar with, but do give suggestions for lesser known animals.

Anyone with any interest or questions about the doc or practice of Daemointus is free to send in an ask or reply under this post.
