	Otherkin FAQ v 4.0.1 (2/8/01)
		Some Otherkin who appear to have genetic traits from non-human stock seem to have a natural magickal protection which is either an illusion or minor shapeshifting which is called a "Seeming" in the community.
		One area that seems to be unique to the otherkin community is that of seeing people's phantom body parts or superimposed manifestation of their otherkin aura, often referred to as "true-forms" or "dire-forms" within the community.
		Otherkinness is a phenomenon in which proof is very elusive, and often in the eye of the beholder.

	BBC - h2g2 - Otherkin
		Otherkin are born into seemingly human families and later in life - usually during their teen years - go through a process known as the 'awakening'.
		The otherkin have a large online community, which began in the mid-1990s, but there are those who claim that otherkin have been always been around, just without the names for what they were before, and without the community that only became possible with the development of the Internet.
		Otherkin generally don't tell other people that they are otherkin, because they would be ridiculed for their beliefs, so the Internet is useful to them, not only because they can meet others who are like them, but also because they can remain anonymous, and so are protected from those who do not share their beliefs.

		Other otherkin, without necessarily claiming to be genetically related to a supernatural being, profess to be physically influenced in some way by their non-human sides.

		The otherkin community grew out of the elven online community of the early-to-mid-1990s, with the earliest recorded use of the term otherkin appearing in early 1996.
		Outside of their own subculture, otherkin beliefs are often met with controversy.

	RealMagick Article: Otherkin - Otherworldly Souls by Saau Hatshepsut
		Otherkin, in the majority of cases, are people who have had past lives as non-humans.
		For an otherkin, however, whose most dominant form may be of a species vastly different in appearance from a humans’, it would be immediately noticeable.
		Otherkin aren’t all that different, to use an old cliché, they could be the person who passes you on the street.

		After a short time among the Otherkin at the convention, I could pretty much identify the main types by sight, because their characteristics are that marked, even across the boundaries of gender, ethnicity and race.

	otherkin, subculture, and identity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Otherkin have a good deal of the first ("trueform", "Veil", "sevenstar", "Des'tai"...), none of the second that is actually shared among the majority, and essentially only one of the last that is actually shared among all: the idea of being not (entirely) human.
		But with otherkin, there isn't a lot that is specific just to us to begin with (unlike, say, goths, who have tons of shared artifacts and a number of shared valued/interests/ideas, as well as language), and most would say the central thing (non-humanity) is not something you can choose.
		If, however, one had only a kind of general weird feeling (like myself) prior to finding otherkin, or had aboslutely no clue at all and this idea is a total revelation, then it can possibly change the entire direction of one's life.

	Otherkin Awakening - Home (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Otherkin come to realise that they are non-human spirits within a human body; Otherkin may originally have been terrestrial animals, legendary animals, Elves, Angels and other races normally described by humans as 'Aliens'.
		Otherkin can be thought of as people who ahve been reincarnated into a different race; the race of humans.
		Some Otherkin are so closely aligned with their Kin Type, their non-human spirit that they may manifest 'Other' attributes, such as eating preferences, the way they walk and hold themselves - Otherkin may even 'feel' non-human body features, such as their wings, or their tails.

	The Otherkin and Therianthrope Book List.
		This book list is for otherkin, draconics, therianthropes, furry lifestylers, weres, shifters, vampyres, vampires, angelics, soulbonds, winged folk, starseeds, fae, sidhe, animal totemists, etc. I admit that, due to personal familiarity, this list tends to focus on interests of otherkin, draconics, furry lifestylers, and therianthropes.
		Otherkin content: This book does mention otherkin, but only in one passing sentence on page 219: "Many of the guests were 'Otherkin'-- people who believe that their souls are linked somehow to those of mythical creatures." (Observe page 219, as shown in Google Book Search.
		Otherkin connection: Since a lot of otherkin and therianthropes believe that their otherness is due to having a spiritual "astral body" shaped like a different species, it's vital that you understand what your astral body actually is, how it works, and what it can do.

	Yet another otherkin site. --
		All over the interent I have seen awakening stories, essays on draconity and otherkinness, even a few attacks on dragons from less than openminded people and a few return strikes from the dragons.
		Whether or not any of this is true, otherkinness, draconity, or what have you, I've wondered a lot about it.
		Most of the responses I would expect from an average otherkin community would probably be along the lines of that.

	Brightside : Defining Otherkin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Clearly, when non-otherkin seek to define the otherkin movement, they are primarily concerned with simplifying the phenomenon, whereas self-defining otherkin will focus more heavily on acknowledging all beliefs within their community.
		A non-otherkin definition of otherkin is often very general in terms of detail, while an otherkin definition of otherkin is often extremely broad and diverse in terms of detail.
		The latter, of course, does suggest that otherkin are mentally ill, but does so as a firm assertion, rather than a suggested possibility, thus the assertion lacks uncertainty.

		At one point in time, I believe that the veils/barriers/mists/etc. between the worlds (realms/dimensions/whatever you want to call them) were illusionary and otherkin could walk along the earth without having to first assume human bodies.
		I don't think there is any particular "test" other then most know as children what they are and they simply have to survive with that knowledge in tact in a world that tells them to dismiss it.
		Normal non-kin humans DO have the capability for magicks and such and there are some who are just much more Aware and in touch with their psychic abilities and such.

		Fantasy cratures are by no means the only type of Otherkin...Different types of Otherkin include 'onworlders' (as opposed to offworlders), who have originated on Earth as non-Humans; these are comprised mainly of various types of animals, or creatures from history--including the Tuatha De Dannan.
		The Soulbonding phenomenon (another popular chew toy for people who are obviously so normal, well adjusted, and of social worth that they feel compelled to ridicule someone whose experiences differ from theirs) may or may not be some manifestation of this; many of the resemblances are quite striking and interesting.
		The Otherkin subculture has more in common with these situations than they would often like to admit, by and large, in a huge and in my opinion tragically mistaken bid for 'legitimacy'.

	The Coven Organization » An Overview on Otherkin (formerly What are Otherkin?) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The belief in being Otherkin begins with an Awakening in which a strange memory surfaces (in most cases, that is) that has little to nothing to do with the individual’s life.
		The truth of Otherkin is that there are no superpowers involved (I can stare down child and have been know to defeat the Legacy of Kain games in a day, how’s that for a great Otherkin superpower?).
		Being Otherkin is, in itself, a quest for self-discovery, self-acceptance, and the ability to identify ones own faults in order to understand the world, their spirituality, and themselves.

		And don't ridicule the Pagans just because "some" of thier general population consider thier otherkin to be a magickal aspect of thier spiritality.

		Though the subject of otherkin never really came up in conversation (though given I lived in an area that was pretty much cut off from...well...everything, so I don't think it was a term any of us were familiar with), it seemed at least some of them were familiar with the idea.
		This is my first post to this Otherkin community, though I've been kind of lurking around for a while.
		In fact, I'd go so far as to suggest that otherkin believe that this soul takes on some form, that it has to, in order to be differentiated from what is physical and visible in the first place.
