1. Beings Who BELIEVE TO have the soul from their previous life in their now human host, who still contain memories of their past life or of thier true beings.

2. Beings Who DO HAVE a soul from a previous life and is now in a human host, who DO in fact contain memories of thier past life and thier true beings.

3. For the people out there who belive that otherkin are tree huggers and hippies thats a load of rubbish, they are just beings trying to help out, they wouldnt do anything stupid like protest against people destroying the enviroment or anything, they destroy the enviroment and polute things and burn things too.

p.s. anyone who thinks otherkin are just people sitting behind a computer making up stuff to be cool, or were emotionally distressed so make up stories are freaken retards, otherkin arent like that they are nothing like furrys either, furrys are people who dress up as animals and talk about sex most of the time, otherkin are spiritual and furrys are just pretending to be animals. so if you hate otherkin and think they are mentally ill or the same as furrys or hippies then go eat out your mum because you have no idea what your talking about.Also They dont all belive that they can use magic and spells and stuff like that you idiots, get a life go find something else to poke fun at like christianity.

Otherkin are the absence of awful brained humans who fear evolution, who hate religion or spirituality they can not understand.

Otherkin are real. It has nothing too do with roleplaying games. Kin aren't just teens either, they can be my age and higher. I am 28.
Otherkin is based on the belief their souls or bodies are human, they strive for a spiritual balance like they knew on their home realm worlds or planets.
There can be elves, fae, vampyres, angels, celestials, daemons, furries, therians, odd energy beings who have no gender, or body form called polymorphs, and others called starseeds.

Some otherkin believe in ascension. The belief one can send their energy vibration level through the roof, and ascend beyond petty thoughts, mind games, and silly human things, such as material posessions, money and the eternal wants of something or another.

Otherkin is not the home realm word for us as a collective. My home realm uses the word "A'lendiae". It means "people of the balance". Not as if humans should believe it, but humans as a race would be the butt puppets of another metaphysical world of evil kin if the others did not give a damn in saving them, earth plane, and the concepts of magick as breathe, dance and flow. But that is ok, we understand humans too be without evolution and maturity, and we hold great pity for them. One day perhaps they will learn that their hate and fear of the unknown are useless acts of depravity, and will see the eroor of their ways after they transcend after death into another realm..one they often made fun of for pointless reasons.
The otherkin mocked the human who could not understand.

The otherkin feasted on the human's blood. Just because he was ignorant did not mean his prana wasn't satisfying.

The otherkin looked down on the fear of humans, and wept.

The Otherkin looked up at the stars and smiled.

The otherkin stood in the rain, drank the rain from the leaves and did a jig in a puddle. Life was grand sometimes.

we people whom feel that humanity is a horrible race of cruel and heartless people and that therefore we could not possibly be a member of them. we believe that we are something else, or at least partially so...

and while some of our number do fall under the category of a "furrie" they are not the majority and also, not all of us think we are something else, but we still wish that we where.
"since otherkin insist that they are not human that it should be illegal to hunt them for sport but still not considered murder" = one of many horrible persons.

The otherkin are a group of people who believe their soul originated as something other than human. The source of that origin as as varied as the individuals themselves. These can range from creatures of various mythologies. (i.e, faeries, dragons, vampires, etc.) to figures of more conventional spiritual beliefs. (i.e. Angels, Demons.) as well as but not limited to these and even more fanciful types. (i.e, Starseeds, extra-terrestrials, or any other variety.) The explosion of Otherkin groups and the spread of this belief is due in no small part with the accessibility of the Internet, allowing these groups to congregate and exchange ideas. Though the idea itself predates this media by a considerable number of years.
Each of these Otherkin types undergoes a process that is often called an Awakening. This awakening, according to several Otherkin sources is a process that brings about a spiritual transformation of the individual, taking them from their "Mundane" life and connecting, or in some cases reconnecting them with their "Other" selves and all of the attributes associated with it.

It is much debated as to the substance of this sub-cultures belief, as well as the mental stability of those who hold this belief. Often pro and anti Otherkin debates degenerate into namecalling matches with animosity on both sides.

Having listened to the different sides of the argument I can see valid points from both camps. The truth of the matter is this: It all comes down to what you believe. Belief, no matter how odd it may appear to any one else is strictly a matter of faith. The right to believe whatever you wish is just that. A right. If boiled down to its lowest common denominator, to denounce that which otherkin believe is to in essence denounce all faith. Why is it any harder to believe this person may be or have been an elf than it is to believe.. Oh say.. Some Jewish Carpenter returned from the dead? Or that some prophet moved a Mountain? Or even that a sea parted so slaves might escape Egypt? All faith defies logical reason. All of it. The use of any sweepingly general term is a poor practice, nor can a whole group be classified by the behavior of a select few. For example: Not all Germans are Nazis. This is not to say that some of these people don't have a mental illness associated with delusion or what not.. But to assume that everyone who has this belief is insane would be a gross misrepresentation. Generally one does not think a Christian crazy even though a ressurection, that claims of Christ's divinity cannot be proven. Nor should these people be unless the same yardstick is used to measure everyone.
There are several websites devoted to Otherkin.

The Otherkin hold controversial spiritual beliefs.

Otherkin believe, for many reasons, that they aren't 100% human. Otherkin know they're physically human, and don't believe they can physically shift into their kintype.
Otherkin do shift in other ways. For example, mental shifting is the state of becoming more like one's kintype mentally, often with some mix of heightened senses, phantom limbs, having strong urges to act like one's kintype, etc.
Otherkin can feel as though they are an animal (therians/therianthropes), a fictional character (fictionkin/fickin), or an object or plant. One's type is discovered through a process called awakening.
Some believe they were their type in a past life, some believe they are in an alternate universe, some believe they are on a metaphysical level, or they may hold some other belief. There is no single "correct" way to be otherkin, so long as one identifies as, not with, something nonhuman.
Otherkin don't think it's oppressive for non-kin to wear animal ears, plantkin don't care if you cut grass or eat vegetables, and therians don't act as their kintype in public, as they know they're physically human and must fit into society. They're just normal people, only a bit less human on the inside. You may have been served coffee by a dragon this week without knowing. You may even have friends/family members who're otherkin. They aren't inherently mentally ill, and they blend in with society just as well as anyone else.
I've been feeling leathery astral wings and horns lately, I may be dragonkin!

My cousin is otherkin, their kintype is a raccoon. Sometimes they wear a striped tail to feel closer to their kintype.

I'm fickin with Peridot from Steven Universe, when I get screentime it makes my day!

I'm caninekin, and no, I do not bark at strangers or pee outside.

Otherkin is a spirituality in which one believes that they are the reincarnation of an animal. There's also a community who believe they are connected to space, called spacekin, and a community called fictionkin who are drawn to fictional characters.

Sometimes used as a coping method for mentally ill teenagers.
The otherkin community is overall very accepting and caring, albeit the ridicule they receive from twelve year old white boys who don't even know what otherkin is.
NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR FURRIES OR THERIANS.
"I came out as otherkin yesterday, the otherkin community seems great."
