In the Philip Pullman trilogy "His Dark Materials" the daemon is the embodiment of the soul. Every human is accompanied everywhere by his or her personal daemon.
A child's daemon changes its appearance with the child's mood but an adult's is fixed and reveals his or her true qualities. Thus the Master of Jordan College has the raven, a bird of knowledge.
