The Otherkin Options

hello i didnt know where else to post this
but it seemed to be the right place

has anyone besides myself awakened the otherkin inside of them


otherkin are people who believe or feel their spirit is not of this earth

I never heard this term otherkin prior to surfing these forums. I have always used the term Elementals. My definition is based on whether a being is a balanced energy on this plane, Assiah. Elementals can be beings with a point of origin in a higher or a lower plane where there essence is balanced. In terms of superiority, it's not something to be intrinsically proud or ashamed of. It is just different with different strengths and weaknesses. Humanity and animals are balanced on Assiah, angelic and demonic beings aren't.

One difference between humans and elementals is that humans will eventually evolve as a species. Humans who do not separate their consciousness from that of general Humanity, the sleepers, will progress towards transcendence. Obviously, this will take a long time. This is the gift given to those who don't choose Free Will. Guaranteed evolution is not the birthright of elementals. The results they achieve are dependent upon their efforts and desires.

Likewise, humans who choose to consciously direct their development, give up their free ride to evolution. In the course of pursuing magical attainment, due to the changes wrought in the practitioners balance over time, the similarities between non-sleeping humans and elementals becomes less. The pitfall of directing your own course is the very real possibility of devolution.

The primary application of this understanding is the recognition that some beings have a significantly different energy balance and consequently, their spiritual and energetic needs are different. It is evidence that one magical path does not fit all. This is often forgotten in the rather impersonal world of psybermagick where options are presented without consideration of the nature of the potential user. In my opinion, this inability to assess the nature of the audience is the greatest weakness of this type of magical forum.
