Isn't that different from what a nemeton is, if it is the same, then every mythos has a nemeton. It was the same thing with a nemeton. Some evidence suggests nemeton was just a word to describe temples or shrines. Plus a Roman poet, when describing the nemeton said that not even the priest would travel there at midday or midnight for fear of meeting it's guardian. I figure maybe Parrish is being possessed by the genius of the nemeton similar to stiles and the nogitsune, or maybe they alter the genii for the show so instead of spirits they are guardians of sacred places So what would be the roman equivalent of the Genil. The Daemon you mentioned earlier, I've seen used to refer to entities like naiads, dryaids, neireds. or even dream gods like the Oneroi To quote Wikipedia In Roman religion, the genius (Latin: [ˈɡɛ.nɪ.ʊs]; plural geniī) is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing. Much like a guardian angel, the genius would follow each man from the hour of his birth until the day he died. For women it was the Juno spirit that would accompany each of them. The Greeks called their genii, daemons, and believed in them long before the Romans. Daemons are the same thing, since Daemon can be used to several spiritual beings including the genii. I admit my theory does have flows, it could be Parrish isn't possessed, just being mind controlled by the Dread Doctors. Plus he doesn't have wings, because in art the genii are usually shown looking like angels.
