G.A. Gaskell's "Dictionary of All Scriptures and Myths" defines Daemon as: "A symbol of the Higher Self, or of the Individuality in the causal body." My inner-planes mentor, Thoth's interpretation to me of Daemon is the greater spiritual spark within one that comes through the elemental aspects of the being to demonstrate it's LIGHT and SPIRIT directives to the personality and conscious being. It offers guidance and clarity of course to the elemental drive of the incarnated aspect of the soul.
