*Prizes are not to scale… Happy Summer! As the birth to the Summer Solstice approaches, we have to be a bit self-centered and declare a very Happy Birthday to us! We are a year old (as of yesterday, but Father’s day sort of stole the spotlight! Hope everyone had a good one!) Someone else *cough* […]

“There are also daemons—creative, artistic creatures who walk a tightrope between madness and genius. “Rock stars and serial killers” was how my aunt described these strange, perplexing beings.”  ~ A Discovery of Witches  Prince was the quintessential rock star daemon. Prince died last week. For the Daemons, it was a gut punch. While the All […]

There she is…The Big Apple! We consider ourselves always learning – perpetual students, if you will.  So when an opportunity for a field trip presents itself, we take it!  This excursion took shape in the form a big apple – or rather the Big Apple!  (Sure we could talk about the apple, Diana’s unfortunate walk […]

Bryan is the assistant curator of manuscripts at the Getty Museum Here it is, folks…a blog post about a blog post!  Before we get carried away, this is not something that we arranged, but it is certainly germane to our interest as it has to do with illuminated manuscripts – re: all of the illuminated […]

Let’s file this under ‘Whimsy,’ shall we? 🙂 In A Discovery of Witches, we learn that William Shakespeare often “borrowed” words from others. The specific incident we are speaking of here is the quote: “Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?” Good Ol’ Will! Most lovers of medieval prose will recognize it from […]

A #TeamBaldwin Perspective Now that we have your attention, we need to talk about Baldwin. As you know, a few of the Daemons are the founders of #TeamBaldwin.  We get that he’s not for everyone and, honestly, we like it that way! We’re generally a live and let live bunch (yeah – we know he […]

Ah, the Ridiculously Random Recap!  Why the name?  Because it’s a recap.  And it’s random (ridiculously so).  There is no rhyme, reason or rationale, reference it’s recurring release.  Also, alliterations are almost always adored by able, yet addled daemons! We have a few things to report in case you missed it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr […]

By The Vampire Daemon Pictured here is Chatelherault – Deb Harkness’ inspiration for Hamish’s hunting lodge The title may be overly-dramatic, but for me, it’s a truth.  I wanted to take the time out to toss some love over to Hamish Osborne. There’s Matthew and Diana, and Gallowglass, and Philippe. Ysabeau, and Marcus, and Fernando, […]

This Weekly Geek is dedicated to one of our favorite holidays – Halloween!  We are going to explore the American traditions mentioned in Chapter 42, A Discovery of Witches. A tiny witch and a slightly larger vampire were holding hands on the front porch.“Trick or treat,” they intoned, holding out their open pillowcases.“I’m a vampire,” […]

We’ve been posting these on our other site, but we decided to preserve this experience for Daemons Domain, since it was such a special and personal weekend for us. Ferry ride into downtown Seattle. Pictured above is beautiful Seattle.  We were really fortunate that this tour stop was during the dry season (June, July, August, […]

One of my favorite sayings is “when something goes wrong, just yell ‘plot twist!’ and move on.” I use it whenever the unexpected happens–good or bad–and this saying has been echoing around in my house lately. There is so much going […]

Conjunction – an artist’s interpretation.  Picture © Sage Reynolds  “I am hot and dry Sol and you Luna are cold and moist. When we couple and come together (…) I will, with flattery take your soul from you.” ~Aurora Consurgens We are going to categorize this as a “Daemon Flashback,” mainly because we were feeling […]

All of the Maps on this website are free for download and printing. You can even send them to your friends. Although resale and posting of them on other websites is not cool. There are essentially two maps, with each version divided into four 24″ x 36″ maps. The Urban Warzone map was initially made […]

This map is oversized. I have not split it into quarter sections as I don’t feel anyone will be interested in the longer map style. Even if someone is, it is probably best to just to print the whole map and cut it down. This is the previous map to the Sourcewall, made for a […]
