•Sacred Earth, Sacred Sky is a brand new otherkin zine meant to create representation for alterhumans of color. Our experiences as alterhumans of color are important to hear, though our representation in the wider alterhuman community is incredibly sparse due to us being so fragmented and our unique experiences not being given much attention. This new project seeks to change that sad fact.

•Submissions for this otherkin zine may consist of anything from short stories, descriptions of memories, artwork, photography, or poems. There will be no limit to how many submissions can be presented in this zine or how many experiences you want to share. We do not want to limit how someone tells their story.

•A disclaimer though, this zine is for alterhumans of color to contribute to ONLY. This means you must have a significant amount of NON white heritage to be able to contribute to this zine. We do not promote any sort of "pretendían" mentalities, all those contributing will be asked questions to prove that they are who they say they are.

•Are you an alterhuman of color and who wants to get updates on this zine, or perhaps you simply want a safe space to express yourself around other alterhumans of color? Then join the otherkind of color alliance! This space seeks to provide a safe space away from racism, white ignorance, and discrimination, for alterhumans of color to express themselves and talk about their unique experiences! We promise that we're a friendly bunch of beings!

•Greetings and welcome to my tumblr blog traveler! My name is Luunaathh, and it is a pleasure to see you here! This is my pinned post, where you will find all the information you need to know about my being! I am a friendly being and will not bite unless provoked, so do feel free to send my being a message!

•I identify mainly as draconic, I am a fragment of a non perceivable celestial draconian being who I have come to call "Luunaathh". A representation of Luunaathh that I drew is shown above, though it is based on intrinsic knowledge due to her aforementioned metaphysical nature. She has her own language which noticeably features repeating vowels, one that I am still in the process of learning. I am forever loved and taken by my eternal mate and love who I call Auullthhuunnaakk, he is Luunaathh's mate. I am living upon this earth to collect knowledge of this world purely for the interest of Luunaathh, so in essence, I am her little spy that she sends to different worlds.

•I am a werewolf spiritherian, I go by Naauurraauukk as my wolf aspect and I have lived multiple lives as this wolf. I lived in mountainous areas with harsh winters and powerful summer storms. I was the godmother to many ravens and eagles, since so many followed my being around on my hunts, looking for scraps. Due to these experiences as my werewolf aspect, I developed a strong relationship with eagles, a connection that ties into my indigenous heritage as well. The eagle is my guide in this life, teaching my being to always continue on the path of the red road in a good way, to always continue doing what I can for the people, to aim to be as wide as he is.

•I am a jaguar spiritherian with a strong connection with Tezcatlipoca, the mesoamerican sacred entity of the smoking mirror, the north, and jaguars. My jaguar self lived during the time of the ancient maya, and is directly related to my indigenous heritage.

•I am traditional indigenous mesoamerican ceremonial dancer and have been for a few years now. I engage with the mexica danza culture, or danza azteca as it is more commonly known. I dance not as a human, rather I dance as an animal, invoking the energy of the jaguar and the wolf. I am indigenous maya, though I speak nahuatl rather than my own language since it is what we use in traditional mexica circles. I am always open to answering all good faith questions about indigenous culture. If I cannot answer a question you have, I will direct you to resources or folks that can answer your question. I have an indigenous resources masterlist of over 500 reputable and vetted indigenous sources that I created to aid in the vital preservation of indigenous culture.

•I am a draconian pagan, I worship three draconic creator divinities who I honor in the ancient ways of the draconic beings of my home world, the infinite one, the tempest one, and the volcanic one. My draconic path is something that is very important to my being, hence you will not see my being share much about the very specific rituals I do unless you are a very close friend. I am happy to discuss the basics of it, however!

•Do NOT use she/her for my being. I am two spirit, I use they/them pronouns only unless I give a good friend express permission to use she/her, because I trust that my good friends understand that I only have female traits, that I'm not physically female. If you see someone using she/her for my being, ask if I actually gave them permission to use those pronouns. If not, then I ask that you correct them since it happens so often. My identity as a nonbinary two-spirit individual is very much valid, and it should not be difficult to respect that.

•I am mainly active in my own personal spaces, I have no desire to deal with gossip or drama, I block people who commonly start drama or rumors. Fact check what you hear from others before you start taking everything at face value. I am mainly on tumblr for sharing personal community projects and posting pretty nature pictures, you will not see my being engaging with drama. As a sahumador it is my responsibility to keep my energies in check to ensure the sacredness of ceremony, I do not care for whatever or whoever is stirring the pot for whatever ridiculous reason. I also do not believe harsh claims without evidence, and you should not either. Do not come to my being saying "so and so is dangerous and shitty", then have absolutely nothing to back it up. "Dude trust me" and "my friend told me" is not a valid source.

•I have schizoaffective disorder, ocd, and severe cptsd, the reason I mention this is because I am an advocate for the acceptance of my disorders and all mental disorders. I have often been judged by people for the reason of suffering from these disorders, even from people who claim to be allies of people with mental illness. The way I act sometimes is influenced by these severe mental disorders, so please keep that in mind.

•The experiences of alterhumans of color get almost zero representation in the wider alterhuman community and that's really something that needs to change. This sounds like one of those pandering posts, though it really is not. My experience as an indigenous otherkind identifying individual is vastly different than the experiences of white alterhumans, due to my connection with my indigenous culture and because of my involvement in irl indigenous spaces, though documentation of experiences like mine are practically non-existent in the alterhuman community. Essays and discussions of non-white otherkin experiences often get no traction or are just buried between tons of other posts. This, coupled with the fact that mostly white spaces can sometimes be intimidating for people of color (myself included!) to talk about non-white experiences in, presents a serious problem. Being an ally to alterhumans of color often stops when it's personally inconvenient for someone, and that gets absolutely exhausting to deal with.

•Indigenous alterhumans are so fragmented across the alterhuman community, for example. There is almost nothing in indigenous otherkin tags, either because our experiences aren't seen or because ignorant people have forced us into silence. We don't have our own spaces, we don't get to discuss our experiences without a bodily white person in the community saying something like "I'm 1/10th cherokee, ya bro I feel you there". Even talking about discrimination we face can get us into an argument if we don't phrase ourself in a perfect way. Indigenous alterhumans being so fragmented across the alterhuman community is part of why I'm starting a digital powwow for indigenous alterhumans to share their experiences, though I don't want to be the only one sharing my experiences with being indigenous and otherkin. I really want this community to get to a point where indigenous alterhumans feel safe to talk about their experiences without fear of judgement or the fear of facing ignorance. I want to see panels about the experiences of alterhumans of color other than the ones I've hosted myself, our experiences are important to be heard in the community!

•In spite of being minorities in our own community and in spite of everything else though, I really do want to encourage my fellow alterhumans of color to share their unique experiences with the community. Our voices deserve to be heard and appreciated, even if we are so fragmented across the community. If you do face ignorance from anyone, try not to let it stop you from sharing your experiences and expressing yourself. I really want to see more essays from alterhumans of color, I want to see indigenous alterhuman experiences being brought into the spotlight, it's even important to discuss the challenges of feeling alone in a mostly white community. I mean hell, there's only one other indigenous maya person I know throughout the entire alterhuman community. Try not to let ignorance or fear discourage you from being your authentic self in this community. We shouldn't be suppressed nor fragmented in our own communities!
