I wonder if anyone else has the same problem as myself, finding one's otherkinness being really incompatible with their human self?

Hi!

I'm an awakening angelkin or angelic(which ever you prefer).

I have smallish wings, but they sort of fit my body. They're a white/creamy color with a few speckles. At first, my wings were grey, then grey/speckled, then white/creamy colored with speckles, and now they're almost gone. I don't know if it's my mood or me awakening or what, but it's nice to have a 'pretty' color.

I know I'm not very old because of my wings and the fact that it seems like nothing really important like a war is coming to mind. Maybe later on? I don't know but I feel pretty young. *grin*

I think I'm a walk-in angelic. Let me explain. When I was a baby I nearly died twice. Once in the womb and once outside of it. I think that I may have been guarding my now body and when the soul was traumatized from inside the womb from almost dieing then I took over.

I also know I did some entourage training. I had a dream about it after I asked my guardian angels to let me know what I did. It wasn't a big deal or anything just me sneaking around and getting info for someone(God?).

Also, these names are ringing a bell to me: Chamuel, Uriel, and Gabriel. I think maybe Gabriel was like a mother-like figure for me.:D

If anyone would like to be friends that'd be great.

Thanks for letting me join!

Hello, I am "Ghost", as my nickname is in this life. I've been awakened since a very early age, but have recently been "crossing the line" yet again as of late. To hear more personally on my long and tedious journey, feel free to ask. To sum things up, I've been persecuted so to speak for my beliefs as far back as I can remember, but being very young still I have developed a self assurance in the past few years which has helped me to deal with this. I am quite happy with where I am at this moment in time.

Onto the core of my being. I have recently put a name to what I've known my entire life, I am a Leanan Sidhe. Through scrying I have short glimpses of my past. I do in fact contain a vampiric-like quality, and am in fact, a muse. To truly see this, you would have to encounter me, but I dip in and out of peoples lives quite frequently, leaving before I take too much out of their lives.

Sorry this was quite poorly written, I am in quite a hurry and felt I should introduce myself.

Has anyone heard of Brrnn / Brinn ?

I've read a tiny bit about them on a couple websites and a little in Lupa's Field Guide to Otherkin, but I'm hoping to find someone with a bit more information.

from one site:

There are two feline races I've heard about, Cats of Kyphur, and Brinn/Brrrnn. I really don't know much about them other than the fact that they were very large cats, and both very intelligent races. Brinn/Brrrnn were apparently a nomadic desert people, competing with two other races for resources. As a race, they are still searching for something they have been looking for a long time.

So a lot of the more literal interpretations of otherkin rely on belief in the soul and that the soul has a certain characteristics. What to you guys, is the definition of soul? Some points you may or may not choose to address:

1) What is it made of?
2) Where does it come from/How it one made?
3) How long does it last?
4) What physical laws apply to it?
5) What other laws may apply to it?
6) Why do souls exist?
7) What do souls do?
8) What are souls capable of?

And I'm sure there are many, many more.

So, there I was, chillin'... then BAM! I'm a mod of otherkin. Who'd have thunk it? :D

Anyway, so I say hello for myself and on behalf of starlightforest. We hope this community will become vibrant and active again as it was in the old days, but you know, we don't even really know each other so there will be sure to be something of an adjustment period for the comm and for myself and starlightforest getting used to each other and figuring out where certain lines are drawn. As many of us know in the not-to-distant past there have been very strong opinions about certain individuals in the community and certain types of posts. I would like to say that there is definitely a difference between playing devil's advocate and someone posting abrasive comments to get their jollies.

I think in many ways people became somewhat afraid to post after last year's problem. I encourage people to post again during this adjustment period without fear, but of course using some common sense. It seems to have become a trend on the Internet to wrap what is referred to as "blunt honesty" up in some kind of golden wrap and call it a virtue and while it does have its place, it will not be tolerated as an excuse for demeaning harassment of community members. Personally, I find that blunt honesty is all too often used as a cover for nothing more than laziness by people who cannot be bothered to use their command of language to write in a mature and responsible manner. Keep in mind that when you post and when you comment your writings are directed at an audience (and in particular to the comments, since they are read and responded to by many others than the specific person you respond to), so you are expected to write with that in mind. As long as you keep this in mind, and respect others, and in particular respect the moderators when we give warning that you are crossing the line you will be fine.

Please check the community profile. It hasn't changed too much, but everyone should prolly just run through quick.

Anyway, now that I got that kind of strutting around, asserting my authority post out of the way ( :-) ) I would like to mention that it appears our lovely comm does not have a single userpic to be found. So I'd like to offer something of a contest: to create a unique userpic that accurately captures the topic and spirit of this community. The winner, of course, gets their icon used as the community userpic.

And I figure I'll mod our comm layout a bit to match the icon.

The deadline will be on August 1. Please submit all entries by email to me ( flarecarrot @ livejournal.com). If you wish to post them to the comm to share, that is fine but you do not have to. In the filename, please include your LJ username so I don't get bent with confusion. starlightforest and I will decide between the entries.

Lastly, question of the moment: Is it possible to a godkin? Why or why not?

So! I have decided to take the plunge and ask that question that so many people ask when they find out about otherkin. Well, also they tend to ask a lot of other questions, but sometimes they ask this question, too, and so I am going to ask the question and I think that, together, we can answer it and bring about an end to all this confusion and doubt.

( OH NO CONTROVERSY!? )

This post is also somewhat of a selfish thing to find any other goblin-kin out there, because I think I may be the only one and that is awful. Imagine a world with no goblins!

Children!

So, about children. This post will be about them. I hope you enjoy this post about children.

( FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES... will be dripping chocolate cake and also probably crayons will be stuck in their teeth and you probably should not have left your lipstick there, what the hell. )

Yes, I know this is A) not a particularly interesting topic and B) something that has been done before, but come on, no one else is posting anything here, are they? Seriously.

Current Location: MMM BOY, IS THAT SOME HOT CHOCOLATE!?!?

Hello my good friends of the ‘otherkin community’! The resident goblin has once again been thinking and has once again decided to make a post about these thoughts. Please note that I feel completely justified in calling myself your ‘resident goblin’ as I have seen no other goblins around here, so damn if I ain’t gonna take this responsibility to represent my brethren (goblins) seriously.

( On the classification of otherkin. Also, is Bertie entering an elitist society??? )

Discuss!
