Daemons Discuss!

The Lady Daemons (Angela, Jean & Valerie)•www.daemonsdiscuss.com

Hi! We're Angela, Jean & Valerie -- aka 'The Daemons' -- we talk about the All Souls Series by Deborah Harkness. This includes the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, The Book of Life), Time's Convert, and The World of All Souls and any future books incoming to the universe at large. As new episodes are released in the US/Canada, we also unpack the television series based on these beloved books (titled A Discovery of Witches). Go on! Put in your ear buds, pull up your chair, bring your beverage of choice and join us! We promise that we won't bite ... we'll leave that for the vampires. All Souls-ing since 2012, the Daemons run the online fanzine, Daemons Domain - series + fandom news, giveaways & All Souls magic.

The One With Personality

Happy New Year! Now that the festivities of the season are in past tense, let's dive right in! We've always been fascinated by the personalities of the characters in this series. So fascinated in fact, that we took it a step beyond with a nudge from one of our Discussers (thank you, Michelle). Without further ado, we present this totally unscientific analysis of different characters of this series. Included are the Meyers-Briggs personality types of (based on our own interpretations & not in...

The One With the Happy Holidays

The title says it all! Happy Holidays to everyone in the All Souls family! In this episode we discuss holiday celebrations within the trilogy, our resolutions, our tentative plans for 2017, and our wish to put 2016 to rest (no matter how much it wants to kick and scream!)

The One With The Most Exquisite Creatures

The most exquisite creatures! Ok, we are biased. This is the episode where we discuss the "ae" daemons. The creatures in the All Souls Trilogy that maybe don't get a lot of attention paid to them. We had some audio issues in this episode, but we powered through! So for now Valerie will sound like she's calling in via satellite from the moon (the show must go on!)

The One With Our TV Wish List

Caution! Recorded at night (wine may or may not have been involved), so excuse the silliness! This is us just discussing our general wish list when it comes to the television production of A Discovery of Witches. We have been anticipating this for a very long time, and this discussion has taken place dozens of times, in lots of places over the years! Since we have the means this time, we recorded it! We suggest you pair your listening session with your favorite wine (or fermented beverage of cho...

The One with the Witches

Time to talk about Diana's people! The Witches! In A Discovery of Witches, witches either fell into the catagory spell-casters, or elemental witches. Turns out there were more types of witches (weavers!), as there are many types in the 'realm' we live in. We discuss the pagan practices that Deborah Harkness may have drawn from when she imagined the All Souls Trilogy. What is myth and what is fact when it comes to neo-pagan belief systems? Let's discuss! Show notes: http://go.daemonsdiscuss.com/0...

The One with the Other Books

The more formal title of this would be "What to read while waiting for The Serpent's Mirror, the TV series and more!" - We discuss books and series we've enjoyed and why we like them. Since we have The All Souls Trilogy in common, perhaps you, the listener, may find something you can enjoy. Could be fantasy, romance, slash (gasp!), historical, classic, YA, NA, non-fiction, etc.. Have a listen, grab a pencil/pad and maybe you'll find something to cozy to up by the fire with this season! Also, we'...

The One where We Tell You About Ourselves

Brief synopsis of how we met, how we came to these books, what the heck we are doing with this podcast (hint - your guess is as good as ours!), and some general impressions on the All Souls Trilogy. We are the ladies behind Daemons Domain - we are simply removing the curtain and giving you a peek at us; geeky, nerdy fan girls ('girls' <- HA! Correction: 'girls at heart' would be a better description of us, but in our heads we remain just what we said, "girls"). Show notes: http://go.daemonsdi...
