What is it ?
Otherkin is a subculture of people that believe that they are part or not at all human. Some of them often identify as mystical creatures like angels, demons, dragons, elves, fairies, sprites, and aliens etc. Others think that they are reincarnations of animals. Scholars categorize this identity claim as religious because it is largely based on metaphysical beliefs.
Why did I choose this ?
I chose this because I thought that it would be fun to learn about people that they have the souls elves, fairies, animals, and more stuff like that.
Historical example
The phenomenon of identifying as a non human goes back to the 1970s when a group of self-identifying fearies known as “The Elf Queen’s Daughters” was formed.
Modern example
Today there is a whole online community of otherkin people.There are occasional offline get togethers, but the otherkin network is an almost entirely online.
Famous Otherkin people
Unfortunately, I could not find any famous otherkin people. But I am so serious when I tell you that I had a friend named Jody in one of my church classes that thought he was a zebra stuck in a human body. He was definitely otherkin.
