Daemons

[Zan]

I don't believe there are any daemons in the way they are shown in those books. From what I got the daemons were representations of their owners. They were shifting and finding their place in life when they are still young and settle down in one form serving as a symbol of the humans strongest qualities. In that way one could say that ones astral body is some kind of daemon, a representation of that person.
Another possibility would be that one sees daemons as spirit or astral guides. In that case they can be seen on the astral or with astral vision.

I have never encountered the literal daemons from the series anywhere though.

I've just finished re-reading the His Dark Materials seris, and I would like to know if it is possible to see someones daemon, if they exist. Does anyone have any information on this?
