A Dæmoniacal Analogy

[sdi]

Here is an analogy that might help to illuminate how Plotinus thinks of dæmons:

Luna's dæmon is Earth.
Earth's dæmon is Sol.
Sol's dæmon is Sagittarius A*.

Note that Luna's nature (a bare rocky body) is different from Earth's nature (a rocky body with various bio/atmo/magnetospheres) is different from Sol's nature (a star) is different from Sagittarius A*'s nature (a black hole), and yet each loves, is loved by, and guides.
