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 Do you remember those days, so dear now they’ve gone, when kin were like a family and not so withdrawn?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]

Just so folks know, there’s been a problem with the plugin used to generate author names for the older articles that were imported into the wordpress version of this site from the original otherkin.net. It was causing all comments on the posts by “guest authors”, authors without accounts on the current wordpress site, to show as the guest author…[Read more]

Hi Alexie, welcome to otherkin.net. It sounds like the issue might be who you are telling, or where you are bringing it up. I’m guessing it hasn’t been to other otherkin, or in otherkin spaces?

I like. 🙂 And yeah, don’t really use the personal account much. It’s there for me to use if I get around to writing some articles, but I don’t log into it all that often.

Combination of things – some spam these days is actually done by humans who are being paid to do so as an actual job, other spam is now done by bots that are based on browser-automation technology so it’s very difficult to distinguish them from actual users, and wordpress as a platform is one of the most targeted for this sort of thing. I’ve been…[Read more]

otherkinnet replied to the topic Angelkin in the forum
Angelkin 5 years, 9 months ago · Hello, Azlyn. Welcome.
I’m not sure where you read that angelkin don’t like or get along with one another. In my experience, that’s not really the case. In its heyday, the angelkin mailing list on yahoogroups had hundreds of members, lively discussions, and a real sense of community. Unfortunately it, like pretty much all of the otherkin…[Read more]

We’ve been having a little trouble with private message spam recently. I’ve been able to delete it fairly quickly, but unfortunately not before notifications of new messages go out. Working on a better way to stop it long-term.

May be out of touch for a little bit. Starting a new position with my company, and right now things are kind of crazy. Lots of long hours ahead. In the long run it’s a good move for me, but the transition is going to be rough until we can get some new systems and strategies in place.

Either this or PMing me will work for now, and I’m going to see if I can get a flag user function working again when I have the chance.

Just for the record, if you send me a private message asking for permission to post an invitation to your research project on the site and I don’t reply to it one way or the other, that’s not blanket permission to start contacting users via PM to recruit them for the project.

They are well-intentioned, but very young. They might benefit from more contact with older kin, but I’m not sure the older kin would get much out of it themselves.

Angelkin 7 years, 3 months ago · Hey folks, just found out about a discord server which has been created for angelkin: https://discord.gg/hb5makZ
This is not an endorsement, I don’t know the admin (they go by m.ko on discord) and I have not participated in it yet (though I’m joining to check it out now), but I thought people would want to know – you don’t see too many resources…[Read more]

How did it turn out?

I am curious, if I told you about a path about physically changing into your anthro persona would you listen? Or call bullshit without trying?
It IS bullshit. Physical shapeshifting is not possible. And no, “opening the third eye chakra” isn’t some amazing secret path to magically do so. What’s being described here is a very dumbed-down,…[Read more]

What makes you think that no one is going to see it? Welcome to the site, and the community. 🙂 What sort of advise are you looking for? What’s been giving you problems?

Hi! I’m an Elfkin and one of the reasons I’m still in the otherkin community online is because of people like you, your work on Glamourbombing is EXACTLY the kind of magick I feel the call to in this world. I feel the need to really rip open the dullness of the mundane world and fill it with magick, not with a whisper but with a shout. I really want to begin experimenting with different methods with sigils, liminal spaces, invocations, and even start a sort of group for collective Glamourbombing operations, like Magickal Activists and uncovering godforms.
