/dĭ-mō′nē-ăk′
adjective
Daemon is the Latin word for the Ancient Greek daimon (δαίμων: "god", "godlike", "power", "fate"). Originally referring to a lesser deity or guiding spirit in Greek religion and mythology. This definition extended into later Hellenistic religion and philosophy before it’s more modern meaning.
What is in the Name?
Origin
1350-1400; middle english
The word is derived from daimon, the provider, divider of fortunes or destinies. The root da, meaning to divide. In ancient Greece, Daimons were likely seen as the souls of men during the golden age acting as tutelary deities, or guardian, patrons and protectors.
modern meaning
In modern times demon has replaced the word daemon and is used to describe evil spirits or entities. These spirits are said to be able to inhabit a living host. They are thought to be highly intelligent and all knowing. Cultural beliefs include everything from external influence to full on possession of a person.
two sides to every story
not always what it seems
Although the term demonic is most commonly associated with the devil or demonic possession, it is but one rendition of the meaning. This blog intended to explore a more meaningful explanation, history and context. Our decaf was named after this for its misunderstood past. Decaf coffee has been chemically altered in mass production leaving the beans stripped of caffeine, nutrients and flavor. For our Daemonic Decaf, we use a Swiss Water process. The beans are decaffeinated naturally without the use of harsh chemicals. This allows the flavor of our beans as well as the balanced roast to shine through in each cup. So much like it’s name sake, things aren’t always dark or light.
