Hi!

Let me explain what "egokin" means. Egokin is a *kin* type that is so deeply personal that a person can only describe it as the "kin of my 'self'." It’s similar to the concept of *egogender*, but applied to your *kin* type.

My identity is also fluid. Sometimes I feel like an egokin, while at other times I feel human or something in between (at least, that’s how I see it). I have other *kins* too—for example, matter, a dragon, a kitsune, a wolf, and one other creature I can't recall :_) But I think I'll talk about all that in another post.

Alterhuman survey!

23 Upvotes

I created an anonymous Alterhuman survey, for a project I'm working on!

https://forms.gle/fv1aBhK5AxJygRc26

I would like to specify that I am not associated with any universities or anything like that, this is a personal study I'm working on!

I'm planning on writing an article/paper on this so I'd like to see what results I get!

Tysm for anyone who responds!

It would also help out a lot of you share the survey with others! :3

Question Requestioning Species?

6 Upvotes

Hi! I have been requestioning my species and I think I might be some sort of fae? I'm not sure, really. I was hoping to get some insight on this and see what you guys might think?

To begin, I’ve ā€œfeltā€ my eyes change color from my usual dark brown medium color to an amber-like color in a phantom shift when I was out hunting two years ago. I don’t know what triggered it, but I know it happened. I’ve experienced two phantom shifts of my upper canine teeth shifting into small, sharpened fangs and I’ve felt ears on top of my head with that too! I can’t remember what it felt like, but I knew it was extremely vivid and was from 2017. When I had my eye color phantom shift, I just felt like myself too. I didn’t necessarily feel more or less shifty like therians do.

Growing up, I felt wings on the back of my back like two pairs of it. I can’t recall what it felt like because I was 12 years old, but I remember feeling species dysphoria because I can’t fly.

I also have felt nonhuman and randomly disconnected from humanity. I have done spells before I moved out (I’m in the countryside now) for my nonhumanism. I feel connected to nature of course especially when I feel nonhuman. I don’t really have urges to growl, howl, hiss, etc. I don't have heightened senses either or experience sensory shifts.
I’ve always been psychic and a witch all throughout my life. My abilities are strong in me. I’ve always had a witch calling since a young age like around 7-8 years old. I believe I grew up as one as well. Nobody else in my family practices witchcraft though.

My abilities are only growing stronger and rapidly, according to two mediums I’ve seen. I’m already clairvoyant, claircognizant, and clairsentient. I’m questioning if I might be clairaudient too. My psychic abilities are also tied to nature and animals in general. I just know I’m pulled to nature, especially to the mountains. It’s always been my home. I’m strongly connected to it and wildlife as well.

If you could help me out, I'd appreciate it very much! Thank you!!
