introduction

Hello,

My Name is Allan I've been in the comunity for about three years mostly on myspace. I'm just trying to figure out what otherkin is and what its all about whether its real or fake. I've been active for three years every day and I'm still figuring it out. I know Spanky pretty well though we've never been really that close. If witchdragon is on here I know him pretty well. I guess I have to tell the whole story... <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed" /><!-- s:oops: -->

when I was little when I would pretend I would always insist on bieng a black cat. this was because I had seen shows like Hocus Pocus and Sabrina and I would fantsize every night before I went to sleep about being a talking cat and helping a girl with her problems. I wish I had writen some of it down it would have made a great book, though I was only eight and it wouldnt have made sense. I dont think I'm a cat but I just wanted to be an animal. I might of had a cat life I find out new things every day.

back in 2005 I got into the occult and ran away from home. I got put into a mental isitution and was diagnosed with scizopheria. I met a Fox therian there and it made sense to me that I was an otherkin. I spent my time there meditating trying to get close and discover what I was. I decided on wolf. I think spanky in her everthing psi board directed me to the myspace group and I then I really got into it before it chaged and i fell away for a while trying to focus on alchemy and ninpo. something I dont remember what led me to a phoenix and it felt right. I got into totems and found that its easy to don a tempoary 'kin' and have the fellings of it I've experimented with things I liked like unicorns camphurs fox cats and deer. I like deer its my totem which in my view is totaly different than othekin but similar as well.

Yay, someone who's officially psycho! Welcome to the OP, Av.

Welcome.

Hello.

We've got a very different approach to MySpace, but I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

One thing - don't rush your awakening. Yes, it can take years, but finding the answer at the end is worth it. It's good to meditate, experiment and read articles (we've got quite a nice selection), but these things take their own time. It's not 'deciding' - after research, meditation and thinking things through, something will just click.

Anyway - enjoy the OKP.

Salutations

This may be because I only have some knowledge of totems, but are you sure that 'making all of nature your totem' is safe? Not meaning to offend, but supposing they did not want to work with you?

Welcome
