I happen to have really enjoyed the Phillip Pullman book “The Golden Compass” and, in fact, the rest of the series. All this controversy that this book (or indeed, the movie that has recently opened at theaters) is atheistic is total rubbish.

In the fictional world of the Golden Compass, people have daemons which are the embodiment of their souls, a talking animal which lives outside their bodies. Sounds incredible, but you know, it’s fiction. You suspend disbelief and somehow it all works.

Stacie, over at Twinkies.bastetweb.com, apparently has a lion or a ferret or something as her daemon. There’s a fun little thingy over at Golden Compass website where you can determine what animal is your daemon. Don’t you LOVE creative film marketing ideas?

I had to give it a try too, and here’s my daemon, Nithreus, a lovely snow leopard. Do you think he suits me?
