POPULARITY
*This is the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. John E. Browning. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 1 ‘Gates of Argonath' member, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Dr. John E. Browning. A professor in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, John Edgar Browning, Ph.D. has contracted or published 20 academic and popular trade books as well as over 100 shorter works on subjects that cluster around cultural studies, critical media literacy, Dracula, vampires, monstrosity, and horror. Included among his work in film and media studies is his decade-and-a-half-long ethnographic fieldwork with the human or real vampire subculture (a topic in which there are perhaps five scholars worldwide). In addition to academic venues, Browning has published on the real vampire subculture in public forums such as The Atlantic (2015) and Discover Magazine (2015 and 2018), and his unique expertise in this area has helped facilitate several public appearances as a guest scholar on, or service as a consultant for, over two dozen television and streaming networks, professional podcasts, and radio programs, including Discovery channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth's History of Horror, History channel, Disney+, Netflix, Discover Magazine's “It's Only Science” podcast, Ripley's Believe It or Not, NPR, The Howard Stern Show network, BBC Radio, RTÉ—Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and SLATE among others. In this interview, John and I discuss his research into the Real Vampire Community. He talks about his motivation to begin looking into this subculture, as well as what he's learned over the years. As this topic somewhat overlaps with my own research into the Otherkin community, I take the opportunity to ‘compare notes' so to speak, and ask questions to gain more clarity on this group. John also discusses to what degree contemporary expressions of the vampire in popular culture have influenced the real vampire community, and how his research has contributed to changing perceptions of this subculture. He talks about his term ‘defiant culture' as it relates to people who have been labeled ‘Other' or ‘deviant' and also mentions how his research has helped forensic professionals that deal with crimes that seem, on the surface, to involve people who label themselves ‘vampires'. We also touch upon the Temple of the Vampire, a group that is viewed as a religious organization, and how this group relates to the larger vampire community in the US.

This is the 'Free Content' version of this interview, the full episode can be found at my Patreon: www.patreon.com/RejectedReligion My guests this month are Dr. Sarah Perez and Dr. Cavan McLaughlin.Sarah is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bern. While her previous research focused on early modern pamphlet about deathbed visions, she is currently working on contemporary spirituality with a focus on eco- and online-spirituality as well as youth culture.Cavan McLaughlin is a Senior Lecturer in Media Production at the University of the West of England (UWE), with research interests related to the role and function of occulture. Editor of the volume Trans- States: The Art of Crossing Over (2019), Cavan has also published on Crowley, esotericism and narrativity, open-source occultism, and contemporary occulture. Having recently defended a practice-based PhD entitled ‘Occultural Production as Re-Vision and Weird Worlding, they remain a practicing filmmaker, artist, and all-around creative media practitioner. As a media professional of over twenty years, Cavan has been involved in almost all aspects of audiovisual production, specializing in video art, music videos, and visual poetry. Cavan is the founder and Chair of Trans- States (trans-states.org); co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Monad: Journal of Occultural Studies (monadjournal.com); and, a trustee of the Research Network for the Study of Esoteric Practices (www.rensep.org). Cavan has a profound affection for cows, fungi, and rainbows. This is a discussion that I have wanted to have since the last ESSWE 9 Conference in 2023. In the session “Creativity and Occultural Production” I attended, Cavan and Sarah presented some very interesting papers. I also presented on another day about my research regarding tulpas and Otherkin, and as Cavan and Sarah's topics were in this general area as well, I thought to myself, how wonderful it would be if we could get together and talk about all of this in more detail.We each take turns talking a bit about our own projects, and from there, the discussion leads into sharing our insights and the interconnectivity of our individual research, and how underrepresented this is within academia. Some key concepts that came forward were: imagination, mind/consciousness, Cavan's term ‘alienated agency', power dynamics, new materialisms (inspired by Donna Haraway and Karen Barad), and serious play. We also discuss how other-than-human cultures overlap with neurodivergence and gender, as well as the importance of being ethically responsible (as researchers) and being cognizant of this very normal diversity in expression.

Furries are defined as "an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online." This seems harmless, however, when you dig into the history of Furries, look at Therians and Otherkin, it quickly becomes apparent that although not everything in the world of Furries is bad, there are some things we need to watch out for. We need to be thinking about this group of people more and more in today's culture because more and more kids are starting to take an interest in the Furry community. Furries may walk into our church, be your kids, or be friends with your kids and as Christians, we need to know to share the love of Jesus with them. Today we talk about the history of Furries, general concerns, if it's demonic, and advice for Christians and interacting with Furries. Enjoy! Got any questions or topics you'd like to hear about?

We return to the world of VRChat and the concentric circles of non-human identities with Toy Dragon (It/Its). Its long journey of self-discovery and lucid dreams confirmed that it identifies as a small, loveable red dragon. But unlike other human and gender identities, it was difficult to express this form socially -- until now. Toy Dragon shares how it found a large and welcoming community of Furries and Otherkin who are not just roleplaying for fun, but truly realizing themselves in virtual spaces. Also, Lindsey has returned from Burning Man and is mostly in one piece! She shares her not-so-harrowing tale of Burnpocalypse 2023. Please take 2 mins to help us make the show better!

What if I told you there's a growing phenomenon of people identifying as Trans Species or Other Kins? It's true - we're witnessing an explosion of individuals asserting identities as animals, aliens, even demons. Join us as we navigate this complex landscape, seeking to understand its intersections with the transgender movement. We'll also unpack the financial implications of such movements, underscoring the crucial role of prayer in fostering empathy and compassion.We can't ignore the rising acceptance of non-human or partial human identities. We'll delve into the troubling emergence of a persecution complex and question its validity as a measure of truth. On top of that, we grapple with a culture that proudly champions inclusivity, but only when it aligns with their agenda. This leads us to a pertinent question: are we, as a society, fostering a dangerous divide between reality and truth? Tune in to this thoughtful and mind-bending conversation as we make sense of this unique social trend.Support the showSub to my RUMBLE: bit.ly/3OvIaVG

In tonight's episode Ashley tells us about the Final Fantasy 7 House that was ran like a cult. It's told through the perspective of "Syd", a man who was formally part of the house. The Final Fantasy House was a bizarre cult that was ran by an abusive, manipulative woman named Jenova. It fascinated thousands across the internet and remains a stern warning about fandoms taken too far. It also helped bring the Otherkin into web culture awareness, which is a fringe group of people who claim to be the reincarnation of mythical creatures.

This is a re-air of Jason the Horse. Because of file formatting issues, some streaming services did not have it. So we wanted to be respectful of Jason and give him the due diligence our friendly otherkin deserves. Paul and Chris take a deep dive in the story of Jason the Horse. A man who claims he has the spirit of a horse trapped inside his human body. They take a deeper dive into the world of otherkins, a subsection of humanity who believes they are animals or mythological creatures trapped inside a human form, a belief that is as ancient as humanity itself.

Greetings Listeners, today the Dragons will be reviewing the book Virtual Horizons, by Kris Schnee, which takes place in a futuristic earth where full dive VR and eventually uploading is possible.Honestly not very dragon centric, but the main character gets a gryphon avatar, which we believe fits the role of a non-human pov. More important than that though, we decided to tackle this book because of the discussion presented within it between the main characters about the ethics and morality of uploading. Is it still you, or a machine? Should we flock to 'virtual heaven' and give up on the real world? topics like that, that the main characters struggle with.Join us as we take part in this discussion ourselves, and touch on the topic of AI, talking with and befriending them, letting them become important 'people', and the like.The outro for this episode is a clip Rei felt was relevant to the discussion.

In today's episode, the guys talk about the phenomenon of people identifying as animals. This phenomenon takes shape in the community of furries, or “enthusiast[s] for animal characters with human characteristics” who use animal characters as online avatars and often even dress up as their animal counterparts. The furry community is a sexualized subculture, wth a vast majority of its members at least engaging with furry pornography, and represents a perversion of human identity. Whether furries actually dress up each day as animals or just use online personas (or “fursonas”), they are creating an identity distinct from their true selves, and are investing and finding value in something false and empty. Their experience overlaps with that of the Otherkin, a person who identifies as a non-human being, typically wholly or partially animal or mythical being. The furry community represents yet another step in the crazy progression of recent years; things we once wrote off as unfathomable keep happening - from gay marriage, to recognized pedophelia, to people pursuing relationships with inanimate objects. As such, the community places itself squarely in the category of those things discussed in Romans 1 when Paul explains human sin and the experience of being “given over” to all kinds of evil. How should we as Christians address this phenomenon and engage with people who identify as furries? Well, to start, it's helpful to know that over 60% of furry community members reported extreme bullying while growing up. They are people who have been cast aside, laughed at, and hurt. They are people who answer the question of the day - “Who am I?” - by living out of a battered sense of self. These facts should give us a sense of compassion at the start. We must also remember that the only thing that fundamentally differentiates us from them is the grace of God; apart from God, we are all lost and go our own way. Furries need what we ourselves needed when God saved us: to understand who God is and understand self in relation to God. We don't need to get overly caught up in their crazy lifestyle to share the truth about God with them. We just need, with gentleness and patience, to present the law and the gospel.

For their inaugural episode, co-hosts Ana (@neoliberalhell2) & Matthew (@matthewdonovan__) explore the subcultural phenomenon known as "otherkin". This is a term coined in the early '90s referring to a subcategory of people that believe that they are not entirely human. In layman's terms, imagine a dude who thinks he's part Harry Potter, or part sofa. So many possibilities! Ana & Matt also share some personal anecdotes about the kin in their lives, and answer the pressing question that no one wants to address: If someone identifies as part-deer, are we allowed to hunt them? All this and more...on...NEOLIBERALHELL (it's actually all lowercase but that was just for effect).

First off, what is an “Otherkin”? From Oxford: “a person who identifies as nonhuman, typically as being wholly or partially an animal or mythical being.” Or from Wikipedia: “Otherkin are a subculture of people who identify as not entirely human. Some otherkin believe their identity derives from reincarnation, trans-species dysphoria of the soul, ancestry, or metaphor. Others attribute it to unusual psychology and do not hold spiritual beliefs on the subject.” Furry from Oxford: “an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics, in particular a person who dresses up in costume as such a character or uses one as an avatar online.” Furry from Wikipedia: “The furry fandom is a subculture interested in anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Examples of anthropomorphic attributes include exhibiting human intelligence and facial expressions, speaking, walking on two legs, and wearing clothes.” You may have heard of Dragon Lady or some of these others who identify as cats or other critters. This has become more popular in recent years and we are now seeing the rise of the subculture. Now, it is easy to laugh at fur-suits and mock these people as yet another sexual deviant, but this IS part of the mission field in America. We should be looking at what ideologies and pathologies have befallen these people and attempt to see what can be done for their spiritual malaise. There is a very real consequence, not for being an otherkin, but for the spiritual issues that lie underneath this dysmorphia. According to this paper from semanticscholar.org, there is a ~40% suicidality in the group with a roughly 80% apparent overlap with the LGBT Community. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Risk-and-protective-factors-for-SADness-in-the-An-Simpson/eed2f99e9868c993d78c2d3d55880bef354c18ef/figure/3 Once again, these numbers suggest some participate for the sense of community, while others have suffered from trauma that is statistically present in the LGBT community. It was hard to track down stats on the history of abuse in the furry and otherkin communities. However, the we can also look at the consistent complaints of dysmorphia with their physical human condition as a sign that they are not happy with themselves as is. They will go to extraordinary lengths to relieve themselves of their human condition, even turning to antisocial a-human behaviors or surgery as you can see in this one interview with Anthony Padilla. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrgN2Y4Towo&ab_channel=AnthonyPadilla This is not just a physical thing. To call it such would be dismissive of the true problem. The issue ultimately boils down to a severe dislike of oneself and the order that God created, or at least the fallen state in which we all live. Now, the truth is, these otherkin and furry folks are on to something: they are souls living in fallen bodies and the yearning for something more and better is a natural one. We will someday have a glorified body, as image bearers of God! However, the Enemy of Our Souls has led these poor people to believe that trading down to animals or mythical creatures is somehow better than what God has promised. We have the answer these people desperately need. What does the Bible say about the form for which we are destined? 1 Corinthians 15:42-53 This is much better than some animal or fantasy creature. 1 Corinthians 15:57 This new body and hope comes through this victory. Genesis 3:6-7 This shows us that our bodies are in need of something. We are lacking without that which the Lord has planned for us. Revelations 3:18 We will no longer be naked, or without that which we need to be complete. We will be clothed in His Righteousness. THIS is the ONLY solution for the very real lack that our frail unregenerate bodies hold. We have the answer for these people as well as the mandate and commission to reach them for the Gospel's sake Mathew 28:19-20. We are not to make fun of them, but to seek to make them disciples of Christ. If you have someone like this in your life or the Lord brings someone like this into your life, remember to what you are called and meet them where they are at, just as Christ did. Lead them to the knowledge of the One who can solve their dysmorphia.

Science and society have established that gender and sexuality are fluid. And fetishes can certainly cross into some furry territory. But what about species? A large community of people identify not as human, but as other animals: foxes, wolves, etc. And in some cases, even as humanoid races from folklore, like elves and fairies. So where does biological humanness end and spiritual identity begin? This week, Alli and Linsey explore the fascinating communities of Otherkin. They speak with identities journalist Ana Valens, who covers Otherkin extensively for The Daily Dot. Then they speak with Kasi Frost, a member of the Otherkin community, who explains their journey of self-discovery and online engagement.

Could it be that our souls experienced complex journeys as they wound their way to our current dimension? It's likely that we've lived through countless incarnations before we came to be here on Earth at this time. The 6 Spiritual Overlays outline some of the possibilities for pre-earth lives and what that experience could mean to us in our current lifetimes. Join me as we explore another aspect of our Magical Personas! Come and explore the multidimensional worlds of the Otherkin, the Galactics, the Mythics, the Therian, the Enhanced, and the Angelics. Perhaps you'll learn something about yourself and some hidden abilities along the way!

Føler du dig anderledes, fremmedgjort og misforstået? Måske du gør, og det er selvfølgelig ikke så rart.. ...Men så kan du måske trøste dig ved tanken om, at der altid er nogen som har det langt værre end dig. Tag nu for eksempel Otherkins - de er faktisk så anderledes, at de nærmest ikke passer ind i vores konforme, lille verden længere. Til gengæld har de både pels, skel, dragefødder .....og... en nem og intuitiv brugerflade. Fedt, tænker du sikkert. Måske verden ikke er helt så slem alligvel? Selv tak. God fornøjelse ...Og VELKOMMEN TIL INTERNETTET!

Bones gives Bo a bath to make him feel better. His kindness helps give Bo the courage to reveal that he is Otherkin. Veggies and homemade donuts are consumed in the tub.

You've probably heard of Transexuals, people who believe that they were born in the body of the wrong gender, but do you know someone who was born in the entirely wrong species? Maybe you are one? Have you tried to wag your tail, spread your wings, or been surprised by the body you are in? Perhaps you are pretty sure that you are really a fae, a dragon, or a direwolf? Discussions of Reincarnation often touch the point that we may not always incarnate as humans, but when we start talking Otherkin, we begin to explore what it means to be human when you have been something else and humans are not naturally familiar to you. This level of kinship feeling goes beyond identification with and attraction to another type of being. Starwolf, a shaman and otherkin himself, will talk about this phenomenon with Tchipakkan on the New Normal Podcast Wednesday at 8 edt. Listen live on your computer at http://liveparanormal.com/ , and you can call in with questions or comments if you like 619-639-4606 As a shaman, Witch, professional psychic, Reiki Master and metaphysical engineer and soldier of fortune, Starwolf brings a broad range of knowledge and experience to the fields of magick, metaphysics and spirituality. His practical approach to adapting traditional metaphysical elements to modern lifestyles pulls magick into the twenty-first century. You can find him and his wife Catherine online as Foresight (the Information you need for the Adventure of Life) at www.ForesightYourPsychic.com or www.ForesightYourCtPsychic.wordpress.com

Happy Labor Day! Even you, Jerry Lewis. This episode of How Was Your Week is edu-taining and enter-cational! First off, comedian KURT METZGER is here to talk to Julie about approaching Prince, how news people differentiate the Amish, what he believes to be the scariest scene in "The Shining," and whether Rogaine works. Then, Gawker editor, Internet superstar and general goddamn delight MAX READ joins us to discuss a few online subcultures that desperately need your attention, including ASMR people! Otherkin! Wikipedia authoresses! The Illuminati! And those who are soul-bonded to dead grunge artists. This conversation will shake your core and change your worldview, and at the very least, the ASMR "whispering" stuff will straight-up give you the creeps! Also: Dad Broth! The ongoing digit-related saga of Honey Boo Boo! Paul Ryan's place in the Jonathan Franzen-verse! The world's dumbest idea for a tattoo! And a tender recollection of a perfectly-timed text from Julie's friend Nate during one dark night. A show for you and yours. Enjoy it!
