This guide assumes you have read ‘A Discovery of Witches’.  If you haven’t, you can go back to our Daemon Guide to ‘A Discovery of Witches’ and pick it up from there.  This guide will be much longer than the last, as there is a ADOW recap, many characters and a substantial amount of subject […]

Description: After reveling in the knowledge of the expansion of their family, Matthew Clairmont considers what it will take to keep his wife occupied and happy in her new century. Prayer and physic alone won’t do it. It’s time for Diana to meet her new gal-pal, Mary. Longer commutes and thorough workouts will be easily […]

Gerbert — you rascal! Description: There are many things going on concurrently — the hunt for an errant son, the heist of a very important object in the story, and the extermination of a major pest (to mention a few of the things in this episode). If we say any more it would be spoilers […]

Happy Birthday, Matthew! It’s that time of year! Matthew Clairmont was born on All Souls day, and we’re celebrating with a Matthew Goode version of a previous project we constructed years ago. As he’s won our hearts as Matthew Clairmont, what else could we do but give this man his very own chair in our […]

A Daemon touched version of The ‘Ripley Scrowle’ – as seen on the wall in Mary Sidney’s lab (and TWOAS illustration). Description: Just like the title states, we explore The World of All Souls together in this bonus episode of Daemons Discuss! This episode is best described as “Daemons unplugged,” because we opted out of […]

Description: Traveling further in the small-screen universe, we meet some new characters on screen: Juliette, Hamish, Domenico and Gerbert! All sorts of things seem to be happening around Matthew and Diana, and we work our way through the events, and hash out our flurry of thoughts as the characters work through their dilemmas! SPOILER ALERT! […]

16th Century London Description: Since we are more than halfway through the chapters of A Discovery of Witches, it’s time to start priming ourselves for the next volume in the trilogy, Shadow of Night. We explore the attitudes of our main characters after our collective time-walk, and discuss their actions (both good and bad). We […]

Description: We started out thinking we’d just examine two of the sidekicks in this trilogy (Hancock and Domenico), but we wound up examining others as well! We touch on Miriam, Hamish, Sarah and some of the situations they deal with. We contend that the secondary characters are the ultimate drivers of the story! Also, stay […]

Description: The reader, like the collective heap of vampire and witch, is splashed into 1590, and it seems the temperature not as quite as comfortable as we had hoped! In this episode, we explore the first two chapters of our favorite book in this series, Shadow of Night. We find that Matthew Clairmont’s past is […]

Weekly Geek – Installment 1: ‘The Discovery of Witches’ Welcome to our first installment of “Weekly Geek!”  For this installment, we decided to start at the beginning – the very beginning.   Today’s adventure in this trilogy touches on one of our geekly themes – the importance of names – and in turn, it provides us […]

Dr. John Dee (… and a tree 😆) Description: Life for Diana and Matthew in the 16th Century appears to be going as planned; Diana is learning new tricks and tips when it comes to her magic, and Matthew is doing what he does to keep the crown, the congregation & the order sated. George […]

‘Tis the season! Let’s celebrate the day Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont met! Oh, and the Equinox– that too! The time has come! Mabon will be here on the 21st, the days are about to shorten, and we all get prepared for the dark! For those of you who actually harvest, it’s time to store […]

We went a little Dracula-dramatic for this promo pic. If we were feeling extra, we’d add drops of blood, but alas … Description: Well, the title tells the story. Wordplay: Matthew Clairmont and Philippe de Clermont have words to throw at each other! Sharp and pointed like the swords they pick up later, we learn […]

Diana + Corra are not to be trifled with, Matthew! Description: Gifts, Noblety™, hunting (in 1591, and in present-day), suspicion, submission, reverence, and BENJAMIN?! Yeah, this was a trip. Buckle up, because we may lose a hubcap, or four! We watch Matthew attempt to handle the current females in his life; with Šárka he has […]
