I recently started meditating to past life videos/wolf videos. And… I think I’ve gone through my whole wolf past life line! Or lineage? Not sure what to call it!

I wouldn’t necessarily consider each past life it’s own separate kin type, rather they all fall under, in some way, wolfkin/caninekin, as either vaguetypes or clado-kintypes! And note I do mention a few past lives I do not consider ‘kin, but they still are related to my wolf past lives.

Lemme go in order chronologically! I’ll try and add the subtypes too :)

400 BC: Demaenetus the Wrestler (past life)

An Ancient Greek wrestler who was able to transform into a wolf

400s: Mythkin / Wolfkin

A very old legend that the Neuri (near modern Belarus) villagers would turn into wolfs a few days a year

400s/Arthurian Era: Melion (past life) , Werewolfkin / Wolfkin

Melion was a figure from King Arthur myth who was said to have transformed into a wolf to hunt a stag for his wife, but becomes stuck as his wife leaves him for someone else. He becomes one of King Arthur’s prized animals, and King Arthur finally realizes it’s one of his knights, as such he finds a way to transform Melion back to human.

1100s: Ossory Werewolfkin

Known as Irish Werewolves, ossory people were thought to be descended from Laignech Fáelad, who like the figure were able to transform into wolves.

1400s Werewolfkin

During the era of witchcraft trials across Europe, werewolf hunts also populated the land. What is distinct abt 15th century werewolves is that it was not a disease nor birthright, but rather a regular human making some ‘pact with the devil’ (read: magic). The werewolves from then would killed dozens of people and commit many crimes, and act feral once human again.

1500s: Blackshuckkin/Blackdogkin

The black shuck was a legend of hellhounds Ronaldo dogs that roamed the moor killing people

Subtypes:

Blackbeastkin: different from a dog or cat, this kin type spans 1500s to modern day

Houndkin: not to a specific time period but it falls specifically under blackshuckkin, and not caninekin

Phantomcatkin: this is a modern subtype under blackdogkin, since black dog sightings continued into modern day, along with the phantom cat sightings in England.

1500s: Benandanti Werewolves

People of a specific tradition were said to turn into wolves in their dreams and fight devils and witches. Considered themselves as good werewolves and hounds of god.

1700s: Beast of Gévaudan, Wolfkin

In the 1760s there were a continuous series of wolf attacks in the town of Gévaudan France. Though wolf attacks occurred, it is merely a legend of a terrible beast who would be killed by men and who come back another day. What was thought to be one regenerative creature, was more than likely multiple wolves in the area continuing to hunt in the town.

1800s: Wolfkin / Redwolfkin

This kintype was alive during the 1800s when settlers killed wolves in the US en masse, resulting in a wolf genocide.

Modern: Mythkin / Werewolfkin

My main and most prominent wolf related lossy life is definitely my modern werewolf kintype. It falls under the depiction of werewolves/lycanthropy as a disease that is passed from people.

Modern: Caninekin Vaguetype / Canidae Clado-kin

I count this since many of my shifts end up being connected to my caninekin or canidae clado-kin kintypes.

1/ Which category of alterhumanity do you belong to? I'm a Therian and Otherkin

2/ What/who is/are your type(s)? (if you have any) Northwestern Wolf Therian HellhoundKin, BlackShuckKin, ChurchGrimKin (thought I'm questioning these three and think it may just be Black Dog but we'll see)

3/ Do you experience shifts? If so, can you tell us your most common shifts and your strangest cameo shift (if you've ever had a cameo shift)? Yes! I get a lot of ear, muzzle (especially in the teeth), and paw sensations. I mental shift quite a bit especially if I'm in a more intense or emotional state. I guess I dream shift if that's a thing. I'm not human in most of the dreams I have.

4/ How do you experience your alterhumanity in everyday life? Oh that's complicated. I'm not really sure how I experience it that would be different from anything else. It just kind of *is* I guess. Like it affects everything I do and perceive, so I'm not sure how to put it into words.

5/ What do you think of the community? The community seems complicated. I've had these feelings for a long time, but I've only been part of the community for a small amount of time. The parts that I've interacted with the most seems really nice and like a lot of fun, but there's other parts that seem kind of intense.

6/ What are the things that make you most comfortable and euphoric in your alterhumanity? Being outside in the woods, being able to just kind of "dog brain" out on days where I'm home and my partner's at work, head scritches especially around the base of the skull and around my ear.

7/ Are you experiencing species dysphoria? I'm...not sure actually. I mean I'm already trans and have dysphoria, but I guess yeah sometimes I do get dysphoric. Not necessarily that I'm not wolf shaped or anything but almost that I'm not physically more bestial or people can't tell that I am.

8/ What advice would you like to say to a young alterhuman who has just awakened? Good luck, this stuff is confusing.

9/ Do you have/want to have gears? I don't have any gear at the moment, but there's a couple things I'd like to get. I really want a pair of those pawprint hiking shoes for when I go on hikes and stuff especially.

10/ Do you know/have any theories about the origin of your alterhumanity? If so, tell us! (all beliefs are legitimate) Nope, not really. I have a few ideas that I'm working through but I don't have any solid ideas about it at all.

11/ Tag someone/a creature to answer these questions!ㅤᵕ̈ No tags but feel free to fill it out if you want :3

If you are a alterhuman, reblog and answer these questions!
