THE TALE OF JENNY AND SCREECH [JENNY]

Being a therian and seeing myself as an animal is so funny sometimes to me, because when someone says I look like another human, I don’t really see it. Then, two minutes later, I’ll show them a picture and be like, “This is so me!” But the picture in question is this:

i will never forgive the internet for making the phrase “fiction affects reality” inherently suspicious because like fiction absolutely does affect reality in the sense that the themes and messages of media can challenge or affirm people’s biases, it can impact one’s ideology, so much of fiction is commentary on real social issues

and yet! everyone who uses the phrase fiction affects reality is using it as a pro-censorship argument and i simply do not fuck with that

Pssppssps hiii whenever you get around to it I'd love to maybe have you guys draw our angel form if you'd like!!:3

It's ok to link your alterhumanity to being Autistic.

But that doesn't mean all Autistic people are alterhuman, even in the 'alternative humanity' way.

It's ok to link your alterhumanity to being neurodivergent in any way.

But that doesn't mean all neurodivergent people are alterhuman, even in the 'alternative humanity' way.

It's ok to link your physical disability to being alterhuman.

But that doesn't mean all physically disabled people are alterhuman, even in the 'alternative humanity' way.

It's important to understand that some experiences are completely average for humans - but it's fine if you link the same experiences to your alter/nonhumanity.

This also goes, perhaps controversially, for identifying with or as an animal in some way.

There are cultures where such beliefs are widely recognised as part of human existence and experience, not an alternative experience or alternative to being human.

Always keep in perspective that your own views on alterhumanity and nonhumanity are influenced by your own culture and cannot be universally applied. This will stop you, hopefully, from making any racist or ableist assumptions.

Must Love Demons

Demon originally meant "spirit replete with wisdom", that is until Christianity gained supremacy and began negatively labeling every spirit or pagan deity as a demon. Today it still  conjures images of horror movie monsters and torturous possessions. When I tell others that I choose to work with demons, even other witches, I am met with everything from concern to disgust to morbid curiosity. But, I'd like to take a moment to clear up some misconceptions and ease fears regarding these brilliant and misunderstood spirits.

First off, what makes a spirit a demon? Well, as it turns out, lots of things can qualify you as demon. Many of the demons of the goetia started their spiritual reverence as pagan gods, then were disgraced by early Christians for going against their god by simply existing. Most of these beings are very complex in nature, but not evil as rumors would claim. Here's some things angels, spirits, and deities did to gain demon status:

• Knowing astrology/astronomy

• Being one with nature

• Taking back stolen books

• Falling in love with a human

• Helping spirits connect with mortals

• Being a "beast"

• Being a woman and refusing to submit to a man

• Connecting with/assisting the dead

• Doing magick

• Teaching magick to mortals

• Divination

• Having horns

• Being part animal

• Having too much confidence

• Inspiring love

• Teaching people science

• Being a strong goddess figure

• By doing nothing at all

So, would you be considered a demon? I know I sure would. As you can see the criteria by which a spirit is designated a demon is incredibly broad. Most demons mean no harm and conversely, have a wealth of knowledge to share with worthy mortals. These spirits are as diverse as human souls, having preferences, flaws, habits, different areas of expertise, personalities, and emotions. Some of them lived lives as human beings and/or were worshipped as deities.

When you begin researching demons you'll discover that this label encompasses a large, intricate pantheon of spirits, each with their own domains and abilities. Chances are, there's a demon out there who would resonate with you.

When I first started my demonic journey I was answering the call of a spirit that had been reaching out to me in my dreams since childhood. He was patient, however, and when I finally was brave enough to reach back he was overjoyed. This was the demon king of Hell, Paimon. I had never had such clear communication with a spirit and at times I forgot we were on different plains of existence. I had never had a spiritual connection with anything, not like this. Soon I began introducing myself to other spirits. I identified a demon that had protected me my whole life, befriended another, reached out to one to ask for knowledge, and my circle grew. Today I work with dozens of demon spirits and still find them to be the most relatable, loyal, understanding, and patient entities to work with.

I guess the moral is not to judge a book by its cover. I mean we know by now, being condemned by the church means very little in the realms of morality and actual goodness. As witches, our history with the church has a lot of common ground with demons. It's only natural we work together. I hope this maybe makes some reconsider any prejudices they may have towards these spirits. They are individuals, like us, chaotic, charming, loving, angry, divine, wise, and very real. They can bolster your spiritual growth and magick, gift you knowledge, and be a friend too. Can you learn to love a demon? It might just be worth finding out.

hello !!! angelkin here who’s recently been reawoken to this part of me. in most ways i feel like i was some sort of eyeless, formless sort of humanoid. like a being composed of light, almost like the very rough sketch of a figure in an oil painting, lines and all. i also know in heaven i had very large wings that could wrap around two different beings at the same time! though they were severed when i fell to earth. sorry for the rambling !

Oooooo your being sounded so majestic!! And cool!! (And a little bit terrifying but I mean that lovingly)

That wingspan!! Damn! I'm jealous 👀 I remember my wings being pretty small most of the time or not there at all until I shifted them (bonus of being a demon was formshifting/shapeshifting).

I'm sorry you no longer have your wings at the moment.

I'm delighted that you rambled to me, and I will absolutely draw you!

i always mean it when i say i love you btw
