    Now that the Events function is fixed (*crosses fingers*), I have added this year’s Shining Hearth as an event: https://www.otherkin.net/events/shining-hearth/ I plan to post further updates there as comments on the event, which hopefully will be more manageable (though I’ll have to make some tests and see). Briefly, today’s update is: Staff…[Read more]

    Memories of the Forestials[tab:English] In the silence of the night, Our tired eyes burn bright, How hard it is for you and me To make the world what it used to be.   Ringing rivers by the woods, Sighing forests by the lakes, Humans haven’t understood, Burning life in their mistakes.   Native caves are cooling down, Losing order, comfort, charm, And new minds in crowded towns Forge their chains, to our alarm.   No more wild and fearsome packs, All nocturnal shrines are gone, Alien deathland giving cracks, Lifeless strongholds save no one.   But in darkness of my heart, Burning fire is still alive. My night is mixing up with light, My day with starry blackness rife.   While I’m staying here with you, Shimmering of stars will reach, And between times, old and new, I will build a sturdy bridge.   Decorate this world I will With a pinch of years gone by, So that friends remember still What they’ve promised me and why.   I will mark the path of truth, And I’ll spread my leather wings, We can’t bring back our world, So the new one’s to begin. [tab:Russian] Вспоминания Лесных Горят в тиши ночной Усталые глаза. Как трудно нам с тобой Вернуть наш мир назад…   Теперь звенящих рек И леса у озёр Не любит человек, Бросая жизнь в костёр.   Остыл родных пещер Порядок и уют, А новые умы Оковы нам куют.   Нет больше диких стай, И нет ночных святынь. Чужим стал этот край Безжизненных твердынь.   Но в сердце у меня Ещё горит огонь – Смешенье ночи дня И светлости ночной.   И вот пока я здесь – Не стихнет трепет звёзд, А между всех времён Сооружу я мост.   Украшу этот мир Щепоткой прошлых лет, Чтоб добрые друзья Хранили свой обет.   Намечу верный Путь, И крылья распахну – Тот мRead more

    What's Changed?Originally posted to the WanderingPaths mailing list on April 8, 2011. This was written as a poetic focus used as part of a Calling to the spirit the otherkin community once had. Do you remember those days, so dear now they’ve gone, when kin were like a family and not so withdrawn? And we didn’t all agree, we didn’t all get along, we squabbled, we fought, but we kept going strong. There were glades of fae and satyrs, who’d beckon you come in, pixies who growled, while dragons smiled and grinned. What’s changed over time, and what’s been the cost? What have we gained, and what have we lost? Lists weren’t abandoned, or deleted outright. Folks didn’t stop talking over one little fight. New kin weren’t dissected, like lab specimens, to see if they’re trolling or if they’re genuine. There were glades of fae and satyrs, who’d beckon you come in, pixies who growled, while dragons smiled and grinned. What’s changed over time, and what’s been the cost? What have we gained, and what have we lost? Where are the satyrs, space-elves and sidhe? Brrrnn, multiples, hosts and Tuatha DD? And the cloak-winged dragons who danced on the wind? Do you think we’ll ever see them again? There were glades of fae and satyrs, who’d beckon you come in, pixies who growled, while dragons smiled and grinned. What’s changed over time, and what’s been the cost? What have we gained, and what haveRead more

    The problem with the guest authors plugin should be completely resolved. A disclaimer has also been added to all articles which were migrated from the original otherkin.net noting that the date of publication is not correct. Unfortunately I do not have the original publication dates to update them in the database, I could at best approximate…[Read more]
