otherkin

Is there much known out there about fairies and sexuality? I think I’m that Peter Pan story, a bunch of fairies had an orgy and gave birth to him, I kinda forget. Are they into humans, each other, are they prude, do they vary?

The following is said in the “general” sense, and not in the “absolute” sense, but it does apply to the majority of fae.

We just don’t have the same hangups mortals have. Not with gender, where it even applies. Not with partners, or other races, or the number in the relationship.

I have known some fae that feel jealousy or are monogamous but this tends to occur with sidhe and more ‘courtly fae’, and even uncommom there. Its rare in nature fae (like brownies, sprites, lamia, satyr, mercreatures, etc).

The world is filled with stories of love between mortals and fae, relationships between us were once, while not common, not unusual either. As the world became more “abrahamic”, this became less common. There are still mortal bloodlines with fae blood in it. Many times these relationships failed however, partially because of an expectation of exclusivity.

Fae in general do not feel they “own” or “possess” their partners. Even the Sidhe who may engage in monogamous relationships, or specify someone in their life as a spouse, they still do not feel this and the relationship is generally what mortals would consider “open”.

Orgies.. well they happen. But its more common for fae to form relationships and create a familial group out of those they love. There is a measure of loyalty in this group, but not in the mortal sense. Mortals measure “loyalty” in whether one does not have romantic feelings for others, Fae measure it by whether or not existing relationships are broken over them.

Can you explain to me how does being divineki work? Like, beings from different mythology

To me, the answer to that is not as simple. I believe those claiming to be divine-kin have a high burden of responsibility to provide an explanation as to why they believe it, one above and beyond just saying this is what they believe.

I don’t expect for people making these claims to prove it with power but they should at the very least be able to show me that they have knowledge above and beyond the average mortal, especially in matters of spirituality and the nature of reality and the multiverse.

As for different mythologies, please do understand that this world already names 2500 different divinities across all cultures (there is a book out there with a big list tho I forget its name) and this is discluding demigods or divine servants of aforementioned deities. No one belief system has a “right answer”, or holds a monopoly in divine grace. To simplify, all of these divinities are valid, if people believe in that divinity.

I myself do not claim to be divine-kin, primarily because I believe divinity to be self-evident. I believe (with some rare exceptions) that if a divinity has to tell others they are, then they have discredited themselves significantly in the act. If one is divine it will be revealed in what they do.

It is kind of disappointing to me that it seems these days those who would call themselves divine, go forth with all their titles first like they are Daenarys Targaryen, and lack works to back it up. After that, the various mythologies aren’t much of a factor. By the perspective of the divine, most of the cultural struggles that mortals have here, are largely irrelevant. All of you mortals are returning to spirit in the end. Your experience in the afterlife is only partially influenced by what you do now. You can go to Heaven, but that’s not the only place you can go. You will be able to see the multiverse as it is.

You will also find that the divine that hold so much regard of the people today also came from less divine roots, and what they DID got them to where they are now. And not all of those things were good, but they got there.

Please let me know if this answers your question.

Questions and asks open

So i’m gonna change how I do tumblr because i’ve discovered people in general who have asks open, get them, but I rarely do, and I’d actually like to answer questions for folks.

I am not sure how to get more visible on tumblr, but I typically don’t fill my posts with tags and I think that in order for people to know i’m out here, i’m going to have to start doing that.

So this is just a reminder post that my blog is open and people can chat and ask stuff, typically I will answer questions about 

foxes, therianthropy, otherkin, fae, kitsune, phouka, Fae Courts, magick, energy work, animism, and spirits and other spiritual concepts.

I’m open to talk about other things at all, but trolls will simply be ignored and blocked, because I want to focus on answering sincere questions.   You can also read back on this blog to see what I generally think and feel about things.
