Jerry strikes again! Please enjoy "The One With Personality"
#BlameJerryJerry is at it again ...It's ok, because we always have a plan "B" and this is it.Enjoy this encore airing of one of our earliest episodes, chosen because this is where we found our groove! This is where we started having fun with podcasting.P.S. The sound is crap (what the heck did we know about audio production?!), we were still self-conscious while recording, and we were still playing it relatively "safe" at this point in our podcasting lives. You can be sure, though, that this was ...
A overall review of Time's Convert
Time's Convert ReviewIt's been a couple of weeks since Time's Convert has come out, and we figured it was time to discuss this book.

Marcus and Phoebe: The foundation.
SON ch 20This is where it all began! We imagine the fandom is currently in the midst of reading Time's Convert (released on the 18th of September 2018). A good part of that story covers Marcus and Phoebe, and today we are returning to the foundation of that relationship. The place: Sotheby's. The time: 2010 (according to book canon). Marcus Whitmore entered Phoebe Taylor's life, and changed it forever! Since we didn't get to follow the whole journey on the way to Time's Convert, we are lucky eno ...
A visit with Annie, Mary, the Hilliard miniatures, and Being a Witch 101
SON ch 19A visit with Mary, Hilliard miniatures, and a teen witch! So much to unpack in this chapter! We come to it with new eyes because we find surprising parallels, unexpected character traits, and a key phrase we've never noticed before. This is the chapter where Diana Bishop faces the fact that she knows nothing about being a witch. Seems neither did we! Stay tuned for our last thoughts; you are invited to our red carpet party -- Daemon style!See full show notes: go.DaemonsDiscuss.com/43Joi ...

It's time to meet Andrew Hubbard.
SON ch 18We meet Andrew Hubbard, and according to Gallowglass and Hancock, we probably should've met him much earlier. Our thoughts on him range from a creepy cult leader, to an altruistic ruler of the land of misfit creatures; we discuss this and how Diana Bishop is the one who has to fix this mess that Matthew Clairmont has created for her (again!). We forgive you, Matthew, but boy do you irritate us sometimes! Stay tuned for our reaction to the ADOW TV trailer, and news that was new to us at ...

A look at AST sidekicks + a chat with Nikki from ASWW
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!

The Daemons discuss the official companion book to The All Souls Trilogy
The World of All Souls - a general discussionJust 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 our usual production format. Instead, we leaned into a more straight-forward conversation containing our thoughts on the material contained in this official guide to the All Souls Trilogy.WARNING! There are spoilers!

We bid Farewell to Philippe de Clermont in SON ch 13-14
SON ch 13-14Beginnings, endings -- change. Boy, do we get a dose of all three throughout these two chapters! We watch Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont take their first steps as an "official" husband and wife team. We spend some quality moments with Philippe de Clermont before we bid him farewell. Then we are launched to present-day Sept-Tours in the company of Sarah Bishop, Emily Mather and Ysabeau de Clermont by an anomaly -- Philippe's note to Ysabeau. It did the reader good, because it prov ...
Chapter 12 of SON. Yes!
SON ch 12Here it is folks, the moment we've been waiting for! Finally, the chance to actually title an episode this, after some off-handed remarks in another episode! In all seriousness, this is the one with family planning, the one with the temple, the one with the feasts, the one with La Robe, the one with financial independence, the one with wedding, and the one where Matthew and Diana become one. The "D" is for Daemons, you dirty ditch dwellers! 😜See full show notes: go.DaemonsDiscuss.com/3 ...
Into the action packed chapter 11 of Shadow of Night we go!
SON ch 11Well, 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 how they interact in conflict. Swordplay: We watch how the words are interchangeable with daggers and swords in the hay barn. Bloodplay: We find out for the first time in this series that Matthew has an affliction -- blood rage. Diana Bishop is also made Philippe's blood-sworn daughter. What does this mean ...
Baggage galore in chapter 10 of Shadow of Night!
SON ch 10Matthew Clarimont has a ton of baggage and Philippe de Clermont is giving Diana decluttering advice! It's time to unpack! Later on, we add our own baggage to the pile.

Chapter 9 of Shadow of Night
SON Ch 9Matthew Clairmont is absolutely puny according to Philippe de Clermont. He's not been taking care of himself properly, and needs excercise! While the Philippe takes care of his puny son, Diana Bishop's tasks are decidedly NOT puny. She needs to learn how to manage a staff, the household, her uncertainty, HER LIFE! We begin with a brooding moody vampire in the antichambers, and end with a facination with the whole gambit our witch is being set up for. She's playing for keeps, and Philippe ...
Journey to meet Philippe de Clermont with us!
SON ch 8Off to Sept-Tours we go! 1590's style! As we travel with Matthew Clairmont and Diana Bishop, we make a few stops. With each step closer to Philippe de Clermont, we not only wonder about him, but we start to really think about who Matthew de Clermont is! Diana has a long road of discovery ahead of her.A long(ish) episode, but you won't want to miss a bit of it, because after our chapter discussion, we have a chat about All Souls Con 2018 with Laura Ventura! Philadelphia, here we come! Als ...
The first anomoly of Shadow of Night examined
SON ch 7Creepers be a-creepin'! We examine the first anomaly that crops up in Shadow of Night. Who is Rima Jaén, and what has she done with the normal cast and crew?! Where is this place she works? How does this play in the big picture?! Our questions breed more questions, and in the end we walk away still scratching our heads a little, thoroughly disgusted with Daniel, perplexed (but thrilled) about our international community, eagerly anticipating the TV show, and royally pissed off at Jerry👻 ...

Chapters 5 & 6 of Shadow of Night
SON ch 5 & 6Let's talk about the secrets and surprises we receive in these chapters, shall we?! As part of her elucidation lessons directed by George Chapman, Diana is reading the Faerie Queene (by Edmund Spenser). The boys are discussing philosophy, playing dice, arguing about astronomy and mathematics when all of a sudden, BAM! Enter Gallowglass and his pal Hancock. They've got some news; a lot of it, actually! It turns out that Widow Beaton's visit didn't end easily as Matthew thought it woul ...

Chapters 3 & 4 of Shadow of Night
SON ch 3 & 4Matthew Clairmont and Diana Bishop get around to acknowledging the need for some witchy guidance. The intent: to return back to the present time armed with Diana's new magic, ward off the Congregation, and finally discover the secrets of Ashmole 782.Matthew's friends (The School of Night), offer help by coming up with elaborate stories to explain away her differences. Françoise tries to come to Diana's aid by calling for some gloves and shoes to be made.Matthew summons the Widow Beat ...
Chapters 1 & 2 of Shadow of Night
SON - ch 1 & 2The 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 not quite a tidy hole that Diana Bishop's future could easily squeeze into! Join us as we meet Kit, George, Thomas, Henry and Walter (aka The School of Night).See full show notes: go.D ...
Dr. Shelli joins us once again to discuss science and ADOW
We welcome back our favorite vampire scientist, Shelli! We ply her with more questions, and then drift into our reflections of our latest re-read of A Discovery of Witches. Beware! We subject-hop like crazy in this one. Even maybe do a bit of time-walking with 80's heartthrobs. The episode begins with an attempt to balance some daemons with a vampire, and ends with declarations of love for heretical opinions. Make sure your restraints are fastened. Enjoy the ride!See full show notes: go.DaemonsD ...
Chapters 39-43 of A Discovery of Witches (the end!)
ADOW ch 39-43Endings, beginnings, change . . . we close the chapters of A Discovery of Witches. But first we observe Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont meeting Sophie and Nathaniel, and contemplate what their sudden unexpected appearance might mean. Later on, Hamish completes the conventicle, and with his leadership, the Bishop-Clairmont gang lay out a road map for their collective futures. From Sarah's famous scrambled eggs to quiet vows taken in a (mostly) empty house, this episode touches all ...
Chapters 35-38 of A Discovery of Witches
Description: ADOW ch 35-38Settled into the Bishop house, Matthew Clairmont and Diana Bishop are faced with many problems: avoiding the wrath of the congregation, making sense of Diana's magical limitations, and the figuring out the meaning of the wayward page from Ashmole 782 that the house delivered to them in chapter 34.We soon realize that the pairing of Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont may not just be fate -- it could be necessary for species survival! In the midst of this discussion, the ...
All Souls Con 2017 reflections
2017 All Souls Con has come and gone, and we exaggerate a bit when we say 'disaster,' because considering the circumstances, we came out way ahead! This episode is a huge thank you to Laura, Karen + the entire crew at All Souls Con, and our fellow fans. It's also a love letter to New Orleans (and its food and drink.

Valerie patiently indulges Angela and Jean (truthfully, she gleefully eggs them on -- that might explain the episode length!) while they spend time with their favorite de Clermont.This has been named 'The One With the Bite,' because of Baldwin's declaration to Matthew: "You bit me!"

ADOW - Ch. 21-25Matthew Clairmont and Diana Bishop have reached a new height in their relationship! Great, right? Well ... Ysabeau is skeptical, Matthew is tentative, and Domenico really has something to say about it, or more correctly, the CONGREGATION does!✮What is the Congregation? We learn about the mysterious panel of nine in these chapters, and it appears it was a secret only to Diana! There so are many more secrets for Diana (and the reader) to uncover. It seems we all have a lot to learn ...
We prime ourselves for upcoming Shadow of Night chapters . . .
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 examine Matthew's secrets, habits, his friends back then, and his family. We look at Diana's methods of assimilation, her insecurities, and her eventual triumph. Join us as we peek at their futures, pl ...
Our discussion on chapters 16-20 of A Discovery of Witches
ADOW - Ch. 16-20We journey further into Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont's new budding relationship. We find out Marcus is Matthew's son and get a bit of his background. We get a whiff of some of Matthew's secrets. We learn how a vampire is made, and vampire standards as far as tales they don't tell. We journey to France and meet one of Matthew's mothers: YSABEAU. Jam-packed chapters = jam-packed episode! It will definitely cover a longer commute and an ambitious workout at the gym!☞ See full ...
Our conversation with Laura Ventura of All Souls Con
Today we are talking with one of our favorite fellow fan-girls, our friend, and now an official "friend of the podcast," Laura Ventura! Not only is she a fan-girl, but she is one of the organizers of All Souls Con, a fan convention for fans, created by fans! It is named "The One With the Campaigner," because that's Laura's personality profile (16personalities.com)! Is it any surprise? We are so thrilled to have her reminiscing about All Souls Con 2015, and anticipating All Souls Con 2017 with us ...
Our discussion on chapters 11-15 of A Discovery of Witches
ADOW - ch. 11-15Originally this was to be called "The One With the Dates," but hey. We're Daemons. We change our minds sometimes. We talk about start of the whirlwind courtship that eventually — in about +/- 70 chapters — culminates into the Bishop-Clairmont scion. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves, though! This is the beginning of a new era, so we will take our time to savor the moments (Matthew-style, even though he was annoying us with his teasing!) From snowflakes to Sept-Tours, this ...
Our conversation with Aly Davis (a yogini)
If you've followed us for a while, you'll remember our Daemons Domain guest blogger, Aly Davis. She's an All Souls Trilogy fan and a fearless yogini that we ran across while perusing Instagram. The rest was pretty much fate! That was and remains our most popular post (minus giveaways), because she was able to expertly dissect the connection of yoga and the All Souls Trilogy. She took us on a journey into Diana and Matthew's world, and told us how creatures would theoretically benefit immensely f ...
Our discussion on chapters 6-10 of A Discovery of Witches
ADOW - ch. 6-10Onward! We travel a little further in this adventure called A Discovery of Witches. This take is named "Hamish in the Middle" because his chapter is in the middle of this batch of chapters! We learn a little more about Matthew and Diana and the world they live in, including the people they consider co-workers, best friends and family members. Angela, Jean and Valerie pick out scenes they've noted as turning points in the main character's lives. Feel free to pick up your copy of AD ...
Our conversation about gender roles in the All Souls Trilogy (do they even exist?)
Well, this discussion sure threw us for a loop! Gender roles in the All Souls Trilogy tend to challenge what the reader may consider 'the norm'. We found a few instances of traditional gender roles, but with closer inspection we wound up questioning what 'normal' actually is. Follow us on this perplexing journey and form your own opinions. A short-ish episode -- letting you know so you can plan for commutes/gym time/tasks accordingly (these are the times when most listen to us 😉!)☞ See full sho ...
Our discussion on the first five chapters of A Discovery of Witches
ADOW - ch. 1-5Time has arrived for us to start diving into these books! Now that we've covered many of the primer subjects, it's given us sufficient foundation for the dissection of this trilogy called All Souls. Join along as we revisit the beloved words in our favorite series! Not so much a read along per se, but more of an examination of the structure of the story, and the journey that takes us to the eventual establishment of the Bishop-Clairmont family. Before we get ahead of ourselves, let ...
In preparation for the chapter deep dive, we talk about our favorite moments in this trilogy
Before we get into chapter discussions (now that we've done many of the primer subjects relating to this trilogy), we wanted to reflect on some of the moments throughout the Trilogy that talked to us, and how we related to them in our own lives. There were quite a few moments, but we managed to narrow them down to snapshot selections to effectively discuss them. If you'd ask us tomorrow, we may come up with something totally different! A big thank you goes to our Discussers, who really delivered ...
Let's talk about blood rage!
Blood rage is an affliction that was kept in the closet in the All Souls Universe (as was the existence of weavers).

Our feeble attempt of tackling the subject of alchemy...
The dreaded (well, we dreaded it!) episode on alchemy! What an intimidating topic! We do a very (very, very, very) basic overview on alchemy in this episode. We did it with the help of a beginner’s book on alchemy and a bunch of Google searches for different sources. The end result? Surprise! You’ve been doing alchemy in one form of or another all of your life. The end. Next episode! Just kidding, but if you are interested in the subject and were too intimidated to tackle it, you at least have a ...

Our take on the use of the Aurora Consurgens in the trilogy
The Aurora Consurgens is subject matter that we have covered in a post on Daemons Domain, so let's discuss it! Not unlike the pictures of the Alchemical Wedding, the verses of the Aurora Consurgens project the image of the Sun King and Moon Queen or Sol and Luna. In this take, we tackle the verses -- specifically in Godfrey de Clermont's copy. One of our shorter episodes; requires very little time commitment!Read and comment on the episode on the show notes located here: http://go.daemonsdiscuss ...
What happens when you take the Meyers-Briggs personality test for fictional characters?
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 ord ...

Our somewhat biased take on daemons . . .
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 suggest you pair your listening session with your favorite wine (or fermented beverage of cho ...
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/04 ...
We cheat on the series a bit in this episode! What can we say? We love 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..
