What has led you to this conclusion?
If "otherkin" are to be taken seriously, we must understand them as we understand, for example, transgender individuals: basically, a soul in the wrong body.
If "otherkin" are actually a thing, then, they should live as what they think they are, just as transgenders live, when they can, as the gender they feel they should be. Failure to do so would produce body dismorphia and similar.
Thus you should spend the majority of each day in the ocean, eat only seafoods, bind your legs together, bathe only in salt water, and so forth. I assume you do these things?
Sorry to come off as snarky but I've met too many "otherkin". Every damn person is an otherkin! We're bloody lucky there are any humans left! Identifying with a mythological creature or an animal doesn't mean you are one, just that you identify with one. And if you identify with one, you're still a human. Not an "otherkin".
I hate that word so much.

Quote: Ultraviolett1127: Quote: I would if not everyone claimed to be one. Agreed. Maybe it's just the forums here, but I feel like out of every 8 teens I come across, at least 1 of them is claiming to be some sort of magickal super galactic elf mage soul trapped in a human body. They are! On WOW, anyways...

Quote: now just so everyone's clear on wat i mean here, a THERIAN is an earthly being (like a wolf) in a human body. an OTHERKIN is a person who was a magickal being (like a dragon) in a past life, or is a magickal being in a human body. Im reincarnated from a mermaid. if i was a therian, then i would probably do the kind of things Sanguina-chan talks about.
According to otherkin.net: Otherkin is a collective noun for an assortment of people who have come to the somewhat unorthodox, and possibly quite bizarre, conclusion that they identify themselves as being something other than human....
Which means that you currently think that you are something other than human. It has nothing to do with what you were in a past life. Also when it comes to Wicca specifically - reincarnation is a core belief, but the belief is that we always reincarnate as humans - not otherkin or even animals for that matter. Obviously there are other paths/religions out there that believe differently (such as Buddhism, but I can honestly say that there aren't any that I know of who believe that we are otherkin. As a Past Life Regression Therapist, I can say that over the years I have never encountered anyone who claimed to be anything other than human in a past life.
According to WikiFur.com: Therians are people who believe that they have an intrinsic, personal, and integral connection to (an) animal(s). That is to say that part of their core being is animal, be it spiritually, mentally, et cetera. Unlike furry lifestylers, therians do not try to outwardly project their animalistic nature, nor do they choose the animal side they are inherently born with.
Note that it says Therians do not try to project their animalistic nature.
