“Love in my world usually ended up with someone hearing “I smite thee!�� as she was cursed to be some lame flower for the rest of her life.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Daimon

“The soul of each of us is given a unique daimon before we are born, and it has selected an image or pattern that we live on earth. This soul-companion, the daimon, guides us here; in the process of arrival, however, we forget all that took place and believe we come empty into this world. The daimon remembers what is in your image and belongs to your pattern, and therefore your daimon is the carrier of your destiny.”
― James Hillman, The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling

“Throughout their lives W.B. Yeats and C.G. Jung sought out precedents for, and affinities with, their visionary �� their daimonic �� standpoints. Between them they uncovered and studied just about every major proponent of our tradition. This is not surprising, because it is a feature of the tradition that it threads together all who discover it, to form a series of historical links. The alchemists called it the Aurea Catena, the Golden Chain; and to grasp one link is to be connected to all the others.”

“Daemon or daimon, known to the Romans as a genius, to creative folk as an inner muse, to Christians as a guardian angel. Not to be confused with a demon. [Footnote 41].”
― H.M. Forester, The Imaginal Veil

“For centuries we have searched for the right term for this "call". The Romans named it your 'genius'; the Greeks, your 'daimon'; and the Christians your guardian angel. The Romantics, like Keats, said the call came from the heart, and Michelangelo's intuitive eye saw an image in the heart of the person he was sculpting. The Neoplatonists referred to an imaginal body, the 'ochema', that carried you like a vehicle. It was your personal bearer or support. For some it is Lady Luck or Fortuna; for others a genie or jinn, a bad seed or evil genius. In Egypt, it might have been the 'ka', or the 'ba' with whom you could converse. Among the people we refer to as Eskimos and others who follow shamanistic practices, it is your spirit, your free-soul, your animal-soul, your breath-soul.”
― James Hillman, The Soul's Code: In Search of Character and Calling

“The Christians quite literally demonised the daemon. It’s a tutelary spirit �� though it can also be something of a trickster �� Christians call it a Guardian Angel. You might say it’s an ally. An inner ally.”
― H.M. Forester, The Imaginal Veil

“Ogni vita ha una mente creativa originata dal suo genio, un Daimon unico!”
― Carl William Brown

“Each life has a creative mind originated by its genius, a unique Daimon!”

“Adapting certain features of Empedoclean daimonology, Plato formulated a more rigorous theory of daimonification through virtue. He daimonified the soldiers of his ideal republic for their courage, and daimonified rulers (“guardians��) for their wisdom. In his Cratylus, Plato vouched for the daimonification of all people who were noble and wise. Plato’s Timaeus introduced the ultimate democratic principle of daimonification by identifying one’s guardian daimon with humanity’s higher consciousness (or nous).”
