Daemon
From an answer to a question on another egroup.
True, this term "Demon' is from a word, Daemon which relates to the luminous energy of the soul. Which is symbolized as the serpentine life force, which is a solar symbol.
The serpent wrapped around a tree or rod symbolizes the union of the male and female aspects of the soul into the perfected or Luminous state. Hence why the Nadderd/Druids [serpents] had the serpent wrapped around the rod as their main symbol.
The Primdoral title for our God is the " Agathodaemon." The Shining or Luminous Serpent.
Our ancestors never mentioned physical death originally. They just wrote about entering the joyus light and becoming immortal, eternal beings. The light is of the serpent. The perfected life force.
The title for Gods in the Primordal Tradition translates out to the Luminous Serpents. The Serpents of light. This is what we transform ourselves into as well by the Great Perfection. With as mentioned comes the supernormal powers. That where well known in the ancient world.
