Kin to the Other

A working definition of the term Otherkin, and the beginnings of a framework for further work with the idea.  This is not, as some have thought, an attempt to replace the word Otherkin with another term.  Rather, it is an attempt to define the word Otherkin in a meaningful way by looking at the root words that form it.  Originally posted on September 26, 2005 on http://wanderingpaths.heliwood.org

Awakening

This is a rewritten version of an essay that I posted to the Otherkin Resource Center in 1999. It has been updated to reflect my current understanding and interpretations of the experience of Awakening, from a more mature perspective, and with the benefit of hindsight. The original article is archived at the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.  This version of the article was originally posted on January 13, 2005 on http://wanderingpaths.heliwood.org
