Recently I've kinda been struggling with daemonism. I didn't know what to do about it as I had tried loads of ways to keep it up, but then Faodail popped into existence! He's my new Daemon, and is a fox.
At first I was worried that he would push Turadh to the side or something, but they actually complement each other and work well together!
Turadh is quite similar to me, in a way. He's quite calm and rational, gives advice, and encourages me to do the things I should be doing when I would rather play videogames.
Faodail, I'm learning, is much more energetic and bouncy. He encourages me to go for walks and talk to people and be more self-confident.
I think I needed Faodail to help with the more practical, rather than introspective, side of self care. Plus, he emphasises what Turadh does for me, like complementary colours. Together, they keep me balanced.
I do appreciate the colour palette we have going on- Turadh in black, Faodail in red, and me a mix as Calico. I didn't mean for it to work out like that, but it's definitely fitting.
As I write this, Faodail has turned from a fox to a ginger cat. I appreciate his commitment to the bit, as he's been a fox since his CIE day. He says he likes it though. I'm glad, because I had a cat themed daemonism tattoo planned and was a bit worried about how I was going to incorporate Faodail into it.
Ok that was longer than I thought it'd be lol.
Tl;dr- I have a new daemon his name is Faodail and he's great :)
