Information about Me

Greetings!

I figured that a little introduction is in order, seeing as how my (potential) readers have a right to understand who's writing and all.

To begin with I am a Unicorn Otherkin. I first Awoke (a topic that will be tackled in a later article) about 2 years ago. I've always had an affinity to Unicorns and have collected them for as long as I can remember; statues, drawings, posters, figurines, they all adorn my rooms, though at the moment they are mostly in storage for personal reasons. I've always known that I was different, that something about me was a little "off" and my mother saw that "off-ness" as well when I was younger. I was never popular, the other children stayed away from me but the only reason I ever got was that I was "weird".

A long story short, I grew up with feelings that I didn't completely belong in my skin. I felt things differently, saw things differently and just went about my business in ways that often confused or even scared others because of the way I approach things. I see things that others don't, I smell things that no one else seems to notice and have had glimpses of places I've never been...at least not in this life.

As many who discover they are Otherkin, I thought for years that I was alone in my thinking. I was scared, depressed and at times thought I was going insane. I started having memories come to the forefront of my mind about two years ago, which made me think that my impending insanity was looming closer and in desperation I went to Google and typed in "people that think they are animals". Much to my joy and confusion I was directed to sites that specialized in something called "Otherkin".

After researching it for a bit I came to the conclusion that I wasn't a horse, though I felt equine in a way, so the sites I found weren't for me per say. So again I went to Google and typed in a general search for "Unicorns" and found a site that was dedicated to Unicorn Otherkin. A light went off in my head and I knew that was what I was; I can't describe the feeling other then that every fiber of my being knew at that moment what I once was and was reveling in the knowledge. Unfortuneatly that site went under a few months after I found it, but thankfully one of my friends from it decided to recreate a similar site for the Unicorns that wanted to stay in contact with one another, so once more I have a "home" with others of my kind.

In the two years that I've been journeying to discover my past I have learnt much and continue to do so. So far I have definate memories of at least two, and posibbly three, past lives. The first life I was a quadrupedal Unicorn, black in color with tri-colored mane and tail. My mane is unique, being upright and slightly bristly with red on the left side, white in the middle and black on the right side. My tail is more horse-like, black as the top shortest layer, red as the middle slightly longer layer and white as the bottom longest layer. My hooves are cloven and my horn short and spiraled; both are black and my eyes are bright blue in color. My second life I have definate memories of is as an anthropomorphic Unicorn with the same color scheme. The third life, which I'm still only catching the fleetest of glimpses is of a black Kitsune (which will be the topic of a different article)

(Above is a picture I drew of my quadrupedal form, with a former family member from that life)


Now, many who have no experience with past lives or Otherkin will think that I and others who believe the way I do are delusional at best and at worse crazy. But we aren't. There are many things in this life that cannot be explained away by science or even "commone sense" and more things are being discovered that put science at a disadvantage. Things that happen are just that, things that happen, and maybe we aren't meant to understand why or how they happen. That is the meaning of faith, to accept things we don't understand and trust that whatever diety we follow knows and will guide us.

Alright, enough of the faith and religion thing, since that isn't really what we're here for, right? The point is, I believe with every fiber of my being that this is what I once was and it has helped to shape who I am in this life, for good or bad. And this blog is my small gift to the Otherkin community and those that are curious about us; articles and information to help those looking for answers or information in one place instead of endless searching with the possibility of not finding an answer.

For those that, like me, are searching for answers, I hope that in some small way this blog of mine can help.

May your claws stay sharp and your minds free!
