I commonly describe the daemonic experience, to those situated in a rationalist paradigm, as a certain quality of intuition, which nudges me in seductive ways. If I were to assign words to the experience, it would be a single delicious whisper: go here. This is a different feeling from the impulsive urge towards hedonism, or the thumos desire for domination. It has an adventurous quality of rightness—a confidence and certainty, coupled with an okayness about not knowing what the fuck will happen if you follow the whispers.

– Peter Limberg
