you as a daemon

[Keira]

I tried imagining my daemon (sorry no name for him yet) as a human and it worked. He kind of looked like me and I saw this beautiful white (I think falcon) with glittering blue eyes tinged with violet on his shoulder. I think that was his human form and my daemon self. it was strange...but why is it I was a falcon and not an eagle when he is pretty much settled as an eagle?

[SNL_Ali]

Well, the falcon you saw is based on your daemon's personality, not your own. People and their daemon's personalities are usually a little different, so their daemon forms would be different. I hope that makes a little sense. Like how my Tyb has settled as a goose, yet when we imagined him as the human and I as the daemon, I was a strange sort of marten-like creature with these weird markings. See, different. HOpe that makes sense.

Exactly. My daemon self is settled as a dragon, yet my daemon will probably settle as a small, furry creature, somewhat like a marten.

[Keira]

Actually that does make sense, as even though we make up one person, our personalities are still different (though not opposites). Thanks, that answered my question perfectly.

Actually that does make sense. As even though we make up one person, our personalities are still different. Thanks, that really helps.

I tried figuring out my reversed-role thing last night. For awhile, I felt very in touch with my alternate self, even if I couldn't see him or his dæmon. I would try to focus on him and get hit with a strong emotion. ( At one point Pocket and I looked at each other and said at the same time, kind of startled, "He's sad." It was quite strong - he was upset about something and a little angry. Later, we felt he was being calmed down by a very soothing presence - his dæmon? ) Later, at night, I tried to see him. I got a quick image. It was of a boy, older than I am, with brown hair, or dirty blonde. It fell into his eyes, and he brushed it back absent-mindedly, as thought this were a habit he was used to. He looked a little troubled by something and I think he was talking to someone I couldn't see. I tried very hard to get a name, but I couldn't - just the letter 'G' kept jumping into my mind. Then, later, just as I was falling asleep, a voice suddenly tore into my mind, shouting something. A female voice. I can't recall the words exactly, but they went something like, "This isn't right, Julian!"

So, I think his name is Julian. Or something similar. But, I definetely heard Julian. And the voice? I think it was his dæmon. I still can't tell who or what she is, but I got the feeling like she was a bird of prey. Strange. I thought Pocket'd be represented by a mammal.

Recently, I started thinking about my dæmon-self. I imagine Rome as a human in Oxford, and I can see this beautiful, silky fox with dark fur sitting at his feet. Not quiet a fox though, because she's also very bulky. But I believe that is my dæmon-self. A fox. Yay!

[SNL_Ali]

I have been trying to do the same thing, too, Ra. All I've gotten is that hei (as the human) is very lean and muscular, with red-brown hair. As for the daemon, shei's a sort of mongoose-like thing, and when I imagined it, Tyb yelled at me that the markings were exactly the same as the red-breasted goose (www.cites.org/gallery/speciespics/bird/red_breasted_goose.jpg). I must have a weird thing with geese........but those were the weird markings I've been talking about. Weird, eh? But cool. I need to figure out his name sometime....

[Ra]

Wow. How nifty. A mongoose with goose markings. o.o Whoa. What a play on words.

[SNL_Ali]

Convenient isn't it? Lol, but yeah, I thought it was a little strange too XD Somebody up there sure likes having weird coincidences with me (I knew my daemon's name started with 'Tri'....mongoose with goose markings....weird).

*comes in late and blinks*

When I'm very upset, or in need of some serious calming down, Panaka will turn into a human and just sit or lie beside me with his arm around my shoulders, silently. I think that's his alternate self in Oxford... he's average height, and has a slim build. His hair is white-blond, and bizarrely spiked - which suits 'Naka. His eyes are the same colour as they always are, intense blue.

At those times, with me, he's quiet and wearing plain blue and white. But when I imagine this guy at a desk, or in a town, he's suddenly wearing a violent red t-shirt and ripped, baggy jeans. And if he's doing homework, he's scowling fiercely at the page. That's much more like Pan o.O

Weird - I've just asked Panaka what my dæmon name would be, and he immeadiately responded, "Amanna." I asked how he knew and he just shrugged. Odd that to me, 'Panaka' and 'Amanna' sound so similar. I think it's the fact that they both have 3 syllibles and emphasis in the exact same place...

Just now I was trying to connect with my alternate self, and I think I saw what he saw... It was his friend. He was a bit taller, and slightly more muscular. He had almost the same color hair, but more yellowy. It's slightly longer than my alternate self(dunno his name yet.) and when it fell into his face, he jerkily tossed his head to get it out of the way. Almost like he usually doesn't do that to take care of the problem, yet more naturally than never doing it. I couldn't see his daemon. I knew she was close by, but I wasn't sure where. It startled me because I didn't expect anything to happen.

*notices she's a senior member* Oh great. I'm old too now. ;D

I think his name is Bastian.. and her name is Aharanati.

I think there is a certain time in the day, maybe different for us all, when we ar emore susceptible to understanding these sort of things. A time when it just comes easier....for me i think its right before i got to sleep, that sortof inbetween state..

[Kira]

I think Kirjavi's name is Christopher (Chris) and I'm Sylvira (Sylvie).

Yes, that would make sence, bcause before you drift off into sleep, it's sort of like you're unconsious, but consious at the same. Your brain is still working and thinking, but it's also sleepy.

For me, it's easy to imagine my dæmon(-self) when I'm just like drifting off, when I'm a tranze. I can hear his voice and feel his fur so much easier. I think this is because, again, of the subconsious.
