I Saw A Dead Elk Yesterday.

Strong plural feelings have gone away for the most part, but I don't feel like a singlet either, like hardly at all. I really do feel like some sort of... plural-esque-thing. Like, I'm both plural and singular at the same time. I may just try calling myself a plurallet just because and see if it fits.

I don't know the exact name of the wolf from a couple days ago. Maybe it's because I know (knew?) her as a lycanthrope, but her name is Lyka, I think. It's probably my brain playing tricks on me, considering how close it is to lycanthrope, but I know that some folks have animal alters that are just named Bird, Bear, Wolf, Coyote, or something like that. Something significant, though, I now recognize her as me? It's like sometime between the past 3 days, we've merged. She's now me, but not, at the same time, rather than her being a whole other entity. When I think of myself, I think of these... "beings" but to the very, very slight left or right of me. They are nearly me, like fragments, but they aren't exactly fully-fledged. I don't know anything about them, but I constantly feel them there. She's probably still there, too, but she isn't at the same time. Ever since I "lost" my system, I've still felt plural in some way, like my system is empty, and no other alters have formed since then, and I'm blocked from headspace so whoop-de-doo. Is there even a term for that? I'm about to just call it plural and call it a day. I really don't feel like getting into plural stuff, considering my past with plurality has been very rocky.

Like, I know I'm not a singlet, but I don't know if I want to call myself plural either. I think I'm more afraid of backlash for being an endogenic plural. Being plural is not a huge part of me, and I'd rather just not really have that be the forefront of my identity for a bit. Especially after my past with plurality sorta being... I don't know, I wouldn't say traumatic, but it was very chaotic and I do want to sorta avoid the subject too deeply until I feel more strongly about it again.

Hi im a baby witch, if you could give witches like me one piece of advice, what would it be?

It's only over when you stop hoping. Hope is one of the strongest, oldest types of magic in human history. It powers you. Hope is the energy source, the other emotions are your guiding light. It was hope that kept me going for twenty years. It was hope for a better future that kept humans pushing forward through wars, plague, and famine. If you lose hope, what's the point, right?

Hello again! I was the one who previously asked if it’s possible to be both a vampire and a were. I know some legitimate vampires actually believe in turning humans. I share this belief but I do not think it’s possible to become a were through biting or other methods.

With this said, how does one awaken into their vampirism? I believe I may have had an awakening at one point but I’m unsure.

Thank you!!

hi again!

because I'm not a vampire, I'm not sure I can offer much advice or help on awakening. what I can say though is I've noticed that folks with vampiric tendencies have expressed cravings (for blood or energy) or maybe they have dreams regarding this side of them (especially those who suppress being a vampire), but i want to clarify that just because you have dreams about something, it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen or you are that thing and this goes for everything in life, but dreams can tell us a lot if you remember them! i don't think it's a bad thing to pay attention to your dreams but take them with a grain of salt.

the overall advice i give to people is to meditate (if you can), self reflect, pay attention to your instincts/cravings, etc. really look inwards into yourself, because no one else can tell you what you are or what you aren't except for yourself ^_^

Hi! Werewolf/wolf shifter here.

Is it possible to be both a were and a vampire?

hello!

yes, it's completely possible, as I've heard that vampirism (sanguinarian, aka those who drink blood, and the energetic type that takes energy spiritually from people or things) is more of an addition to an individual rather than a species of its own and can occur in any nonhuman species as well as humans!

Wolf shifter here 🐾.

Do you have any tips to getting motivation to start shifting again??

hi!

I think something that might help with motivation is going back to the beginning of your journey and why you want to shift in the first place. what are your goals and dreams and what do you want to achieve by shapeshifting? I feel like surrounding yourself with feelings of empowerment and inspiration could help jumpstart motivation and help you get back on track.

also, triggering m-shifts or surrounding yourself with themes or feelings relating to your instincts/species etc could help too. for me, having m-shifts or phantom shifts inspires me to want to p-shift.

if you have stuff like masks, tails, ears, or other things that can make you more wolf-like, it might help to dress in the colors of your wolf side or put things on that makes you look like a wolf. for me when I put on ears or tails I always wish they were physical and when I wear brown clothes (bc my fur is brown) I tend to wish it was my fur, so putting things together to make yourself look like your wolf self might help with motivation to shapeshift so that you CAN have your ears/tail/paws/fangs/fur again.

if anyone else has any other tips, feel free to add on!

•awakening (1/3•

My awakening isn’t something I’m too open about. I cannot find a single person who shares a similar experience as I. Due to this, I’m fearful and anxious about publishing this post, BUT I want to. Perhaps I’ll feel less alone by doing so. With that said, here goes. 🐺

It started off around late summer to early fall in 2012/2013. I had just moved into new house with my mother and made a few female friends who were around my age. After getting to know them a bit as kids, they both introduced me into the supernatural. At first, they mentioned they were vampires and they “turned into one” with the use of “online spells” from YouTube.

From what I recall, I wanted to be a vampire alongside with them. These two girls “turned” me with the online spells and boom. I thought it had worked. I was going to simply live my life as a vampire. Of course, I was fooled.

Later on around the age of 12/13, I had discovered “werewolf spells” once again all online. I did one and I thought it had worked. I thought I was experiencing “symptoms”. I stated what kind of wolf I wished to be. A polar wolf with yellow eyes.

Before my true awakening, I discovered the world of physical shifting and the community. I was beginning my journey into it and tried out mental shifting through various methods on my own. I recall I tried to visualize myself as a wolf but nothing came of it. Disappointed but still determined, I kept going…

Soon enough, I had heard my “friends” no longer believed in the supernatural but I still held onto the belief of it. I even told myself, “no one will ever take this away from me. I’m determined to see this through and to discover myself.” My gut told me to keep pushing, for there is more out there than I realized…

•awakening 2/3•

At this point in my journey at the age of 12 or 13 years old, I knew I was about to discover something bigger than myself. Excited, I just kept going.

I was uploading videos on YouTube of myself. My posts consisted of me posting about “real werewolf spells” and spiritual guides. I truly thought my guide was a wolf and nothing else. I’d do quizzes as well back then to “help” find more about myself as a wolf and my guide. I was also in contact with a friend of mine on Kik messenger back when it was gaining popularity.

While discovering that there were others out there who had similar experiences and beliefs of my own (p-shifting), I realized I was a lot less alone and more focused on how to shift physically. I also had tried out meditation all on my own. I even joined a lot of toxic “packs” on Kik from the ages of 12/13-16?

For a while however, I still felt lost. Lost about myself and those around me. I didn’t know what was real and what isn’t. I didn’t know if p-shifting truly existed. I just kept wanting to genuinely shift…

February of 2015 hits. By now I had moved out into the countryside, went to a middle school where I was bullied and other traumatic situations were happening. I recall however that I didn’t feel entirely alone anymore. I had created my own online pack where a lot of drama took place and I thought I was encountering real p-shifters. While none of us could p-shift, we were deep in belief.

In February of 2015, I had met someone online. Let’s call her C. C was only 13 and I was 15. I’ve never forgotten this moment ever. When C and I had met, I immediately let her join my pack. Something in me told me she was a legitimate nonhuman. After getting to know her personal experience and life in DMs, we became close friends…

I remember as clear as day about this experience. It was winter and there was a severe snowstorm brewing. This was at nighttime. The electricity went out, we used candles for lighting, I had zero internet, and it was freezing. I recall looking at my phone while my data was in and out. Typing out a message to my pack, I was bombarded with messages…

It was about C…

•awakening 3/3•

As my messages from Kik were surprisingly delivered, C had vivid flashes of wolves. Visions from a deep meditation she had done.

While my memory doesn’t serve me well, I was in shock at what C had seen. I knew it wasn’t just make believe or lies… this was all real.

She managed to make contact with various wolves. She had seen an entire pack one at a time.

The winter storm was blowing and wind was howling. As I read through these messages, she had seen the following:

• a pure-ish looking white as snow polar wolf with yellow eyes laying down in snow.

• some sort of black wolf but I cannot recall what it was doing.

• a cream blonde wolf with white and pale green eyes. Medium in size. This was C’s vision of her wolf, Fern. Her wolf was standing side by side with mine. A silver looking black phase wolf with mahogany eyes by the name of Dusk…

I had seen photos of Dusk like a mixture between two reference photos as seen in the second and third photo. In shock, I was surprised that she had seen these wolves.

On the day of my near awakening, the electricity came on. I was all happy about it however curious of what else was said by C. DMing her, I asked about what happened. I cannot recall the conversation due to time, but she had shown me the photos. She suggested I look on my own for a better photo and see what I feel…

Feeling it out, I came across a photo of a particular wolf (timber I believe). I had shown the photo to C and she had said it was what she saw, expect for a few minor details were different.

At this point, I cannot recall how exactly I awakened or what triggered it, BUT I’ll always remember what I felt.

It was like something came to life again from a deep state of sleep. Dormancy if you will. I had truly felt something was.. with me. It was like another presenc but female in nature. At this point, I was told to meditate immediately afterward. It was like another being was with me and always had been… Dusk it was.

I only really remember feeling her in my mind. I felt her emotions and energy throughout me. She felt close to the surface and at the forefront of my mind. It was a new sense of energy. It was as if I could feel my wolf throughout my veins. From here, the rest is simply history.

Thank you for reading!! 🌸🐺

Hello. Wolf here who is unsure of her label. I don’t know if I’m truly a therian or a p-shifter, so my question is this:

How do you know if physical shifting exists?

I know because I've shifted before, plus I believe there's enough evidence to say it's real. My own shifting experiences lead me to believe it's possible in some way, shape and form. Others in the community have also corroborated my experiences, so I know its not just me. Even if I couldn't physically shift, I've seen enough evidence (in the form of historical accounts and modern day claims) to say it's real, or that something supernatural is going on. Most historical accounts of the supernatural talk about shapeshifters in some form or manner, and people still claim to see shapeshifters in the present day, so at the very least we can't chalk it all up to tall tales. I also haven't seen academic studies disprove it outright; as long as the conservation of mass is being followed anything is possible. This is a short explanation, let me know if you want me to go into more detail anon!
