Wolf Human

Wolf Human

Innate and ingrained within is an essence that can not be denied. It can be hidden behind a human mask, but it can not be forced away or destroyed lest I destroy myself.

Those outside looking in may hate and fear because of the unknown. Sometimes, I am frightened too. Yet, I am also empowered by the mystery that I carry. I exist. I am real.

Therianthropy is looking outward at a wolf and seeing familiarity where other humans do not. Therianthropy is looking inward to see the wolf within. It is being aware that I am between worlds, unable to deny the wolf and unable to deny the human aspects of life.

Therianthropy is balancing the civilized routine with a spark of untamed wildness. Tempering the bestial instinct with human intelligence. I am a wolf with a human mind and body. A human with the mind and spirit of a wolf. I am a Wolf Therianthrope.

This is beautiful and it perfectly captures how I, a fellow wolf, feel about my 'kin identity.

"I am a wolf with a human mind and body. A human with the mind and spirit of a wolf."

These two sentences make the word "mind" really jump out at me. Mind is the connection to our 'kin types. We are physically human and spiritually 'kin.

Thank you so much, Elinox! I'm glad that it's resonating with many other Therians.
