Joan’s voices/visions may have been daemons or elementals—or from a psychological point of view, expressions of archetypal images from her subconscious, produced by psychoactive substances. Manley Hall maintains in The Secret Teachings of all Ages that Socrates had a daemon that helped him with his intellect. Socrates was an initiate of a secret mystery school, as was Plato, where a powerful psychoactive mixture was ingested. Like Joan, Socrates exhibited disdain for authority and, like her, he did not seem to take his trial seriously.
