Happy Therianthropy Day!!

We take this day to celebrate the first howl in 1994, the first time therians gathered in number to be themselves. Today, it’s important to remember all who came before us, not just AHWWs, but the therians that existed before the term was ever conceived. The animal people of legend, the shapeshifters, the werewolves. We carry on their legacy now and into the future. Remember to do something for yourself today, too! Howl at the supermoon tonight, do some quads in a nice, natural area. And remember to be wild 🐾🌲

Therianthropy Day is Friday, November 15, 2024

Therianthropy Day is held every year on the first full moon of November. This year, in 2024, that falls on Friday the 15th. According to NASA, this also happens to be a supermoon, which means it’s slightly brighter than usual.

Why that date, and what is the history of that holiday? 

Therianthropy Day commemorates the first Howl, which was held 30 years ago in November 1994. A Howl is when therians meet up together in person. That was a year after the first therians started to meet up together online in November 1993. Therians first proposed commemorating it as a holiday on that date in 1996, in a conversation thread you can still see here. Based on that history, in 2016, Muninn the Raven proposed observing it as Therianthropy Day, though the first posts and community poll about it attracted little attention. I think the holiday finally really caught on in 2021, when I first saw many therians posting on social media about fun things they were doing for it.

What are therians, anyway?

If therianthropy is a new idea to you, or you want to explain it to others who are unfamiliar with it, this essay is a quick and easy to understand introduction to it. It’s available in several languages already, and more translations would be great.

Learn more about the history of the therian community by reading the Timeline of the Therian Community written by @liongoatsnake

What can we do for Therianthropy Day?

I’ve seen therians celebrate it by wearing gear (for example, a necklace with the therian symbol, or clothes with pictures of their species), meeting up with their therian friends, and howling at the moon.

Enjoy some indie games and zines about therianthropy from this hand-curated itch.io collection. Some therian highlights from that: SlumberDragon’s zine of self-care tips for animal folk, @who-is-page’s therianthropy-inspired solo journaling game Wolf In Man’s Clothing, puppygirlbelly’s interactive story I Am Dog(s), and Digital Freegans’s zines THERIANARCHY and BEAST PUNKS.

Are there days for other sorts of alterhumans too?

There are. Alterhuman Day commemorates when Lio of the Crossroads System coined that word on September 26, 2014. Otherkin Day is on July 9, commemorating when the word was coined in 1990, though Arethinn has found that the word’s origin is a little more complicated than that. Plural Events says that Plural Pride Day is the third Saturday of July, and Plural Acceptance Week is that week.

Here's to the beasts, the monsters, the creatures

The animals, the nonhumans, the cryptids, the changelings

A toast to the ostracized, the othered, the weird, the freaks

The common folk, the represented, the expected who are no less ethereal and wonderful

The rare, the elusive, the unspoken and uncommon, who are no less loved and important

Let us celebrate with all of our voices

Let us dance the night away under a sky full of shimmering stars

And bask in who we are

Unashamed; proud

Let us lift each other up and sing the songs of our souls and speak in ways only we can understand

Tonight, we shall celebrate being us.

Therianthropy day celebration - Music 🎧

With a therianthropy day just above the corner (Nov. 15th.) I am so happy to post a new song of mine. its called "so wasted"

I project my feelings onto my music since january and I have so many songs related to my nonhumanity. I'm not a proffesional or anything, but even so, Im glad someone can hear them and understand. Making songs makes me express myself, and I figured out that therianthropy day - a day of pride for every animal folk, is the Best time to do so. That's how I cherish memories.

"I'm so down to the world I set away...."

IMPORTANT: That's also a little reminder to do something nice to youself today, and be feral. Thank you for listening, and happy howl, everycreatures. <3

happy therianthropy day

i spent mine around a campfire with deer burger. found out one of my cousins is a newly-awakened canine therian too, so that was pretty fun, i taught her how to do vocals and i gave her a few handmade patches because she wants to make a battle jacket

edit: wanted to add that i helped her come out of her shell more. by the end of the night we were both completely shifted and that was mainly because i act completely canine when i'm around family. actually, i almost never speak to most of my family, i convey everything pretty much through body language. I think snapping my teeth at my uncle (her dad) when he jokingly went to grab one of my burgers sorta made her realize that she can be as doglike as she wants, at least around me lol. she's 14 and not very confident, and i definitely remember being that age. wanted to make it easier for her and i wanted to be a safe person for her

🐾 Happy Therianthropy Day! 🐾

Whether you're out and proud or never going to come out, whether you have a common theriotype or an obscure one, whether you're just figuring yourself out or you've known for years, gear or no gear, quads or no quads- I see you. To steal a phrase from @zith-ipeth , run fast, bite hard, bark loud. You are valid and loved, you wonderful, tenacious creature ❤️
