Who Awakens? Are there any noticeable trends?

Anybody can awaken. Any age, any profession, any reason...it's an Equal Opportunity Awakening :). It may be more likely with people who have contact with already-Awakened people or who come across something else that may help awakening. Maybe it's more likely with the ones that are open minded, into metaphysics, into magic/energetics, into role-playing, Paganism, Wicca, who have imagination, read or view in the SciFi? or Fantasy genre, etc....

It is somewhat notable that a good portion people who are in the community are "younger" -- but that can be easily attributed to the types of people who bump into the community as much as some type of trend for Awakenings to happen to younger people. People have been known to awaken at all ages.

Perhaps the mostly likely to awaken are people in their mid-teens to mid-twenties, because those who are already questioning their sense of self, but like any other trend in the community, that covers perhaps 30% of the population. There are Otherkin of all ages, of many proffessions - from social workers to network engineers, of many religions, from Christian, to Wiccan, to Buddist or Athiest. Things that encourage self awareness and exploration, be it religion, magical studies, philosophy degrees, or role-playing, tend to be common but are by no means absolutes.
