shadow demon?

im not quite sure what i am but I think i might be some sort of shadow demon. my astral form is all black, and it doesn't really have a specific shape but it changes a lot, if that makes any sence. I also feel i have a connection to dragons and water serpents. does anyone know what I might be?

Your guess is better than mine.

Have you read Archer's shadow article?

No i haven't can you link it to me?

Shadows are not demons, just so you're aware of it.
Just because something is dark/black, doesn't mean it's demonic.
An astral shape doesn't even need to have anything to do with a "kintype" for that matter as "most" are able to take what shape they choose on the astral.

That being said, I do agree you should read Archer's article, but sadly, I don't have a link to it in my pocket atm. I'm sure someone'll post it, failing that, Archer herself will grace you with her magnificent prescence and post the link.

Archer's article is on the main page in the articles section. I think it's second up from the bottom.

perhaps you should read the demon article ("strange new world") too, i was told it was helpful.

I personally recommend reading everything!
Be it here or on other otherkin sites.

So many people have written wonderfully helpful articles (as well as posts). So poke around and always feel free to ask questions on what you find.

My article is here:

I will also be happy to answer any questions you may have about shadows. I don't know everything, but I can certainly have a stab.

As you're new to the otherkin community, you might not be aware that there are some conventions about words for different kinds of kin.

In general, "shadow" simply means any energy being made out of dark energy. "Demon" generally means an energy being made of chaotic energy (with all the recent arguing I'm sure someone can correct me there if necessary, lol). Both can be and look frightening and intimidating, but both can be good, bad, or totally unconcerned with human morality. It's also possible to be both - a being made of chaotic dark energy, for example.

It's a lot to take in, but please do have a look around, and ask any questions you might have. I'm also interested to hear any more information you have about yourself, how you ended up here, etc.

Hmm well after reading your article Archer, I think I might be what you describe as a shadow. I've always felt a need to protect my things and I feel as though I am made up of random pieces of dark energy. I also know that I have been around for somewhere close to 4.6 billion years, so it is quite likely I am a "godlike shadow" as you describe. When I astral project I see myself as an enormous mass of darkness, with some areas being slightly more dark or less dark than others, sort of like static on a tv screen but all black, and moving slower. I also tend to eat away other people's dark emotions, I think i am eating their demons.
