Awkward Intros | Introductions | Forums

I’m Epsilon! I’d prefer to go by this name within the community because, sadly, many of my friends would laugh me off if they knew I used Therianthropy/Otherkin-ness to identify myself. ): 

I’m primarily an owl therian– I’ve known this for nearly two years now but I never had words or ways to put it in its place until just recently when a friend of mine explained to me about her being a penguin therian. I can’t say I have a definite way of knowing why my owls manifest themselves as specific species– and I might even be guessing wrong– but since I haven’t had a memory trigger, only physical and psychological triggers, I put the two closest ‘feeling’ species in its place. I have a secondary therian/kintype but I haven’t had a strong enough trigger to identify what it might be. Of late, I’ve a sneaking suspicion it’s aquatic– like a fish. 

I’m here looking for a safe place to express myself, and some of you might’ve seen my introduction on Tumblr (which definitely is not a safe place!). 

I guiltily admit I’m also looking to expand my open-mindedness because I still find myself dubious in the face of otherkin who are ‘mythical’ such as angels and dragons, as well as fictives. It’s mostly a part of my upbringing? I had a very shamanic family– however, we mostly focused on the spirits of the animals rather than the spirits of the earth, so to speak. My mother is both a dragonkin and a goat therian (quite the combo!) but she has never been able to explain her experience to me very well so I am curious as to other peoples’ experiences. I’m here because I love to learn! Hehe. <:

(I find it ironic the captcha wants us to verify we are ‘human’. )
