TheoFantastique and the Otherkin
I had the pleasure of meeting John Morehead at last year’s Cornerstone festival, and since then, his website, TheoFantastique, has become a regular read. As a fan of pop culture, cult media, and religion, I find always find his thoughts interesting and appreciate his exploration of what would otherwise be considered “fringe” topics, groups, and communities. For example, the so-called “otherkin” community, a group of individuals united by a shared belief in non-human, often fantastic or mythological, souls and selves.

September 21, 2008 1:10pmI’m glad you found the post on the Otherkin of interest. This is an interesting subculture, one that brings together my interests in new religions, fantastic literature and film, and hyper-real postmodern spiritualities. I’m not sure what Daniel was getting at with his comment above, but I hope my discussion of such things does indeed move it beyond the fringe.
