I know there's loads of you out there, so come on in, all you wolf therians! Of course, everyone else is welcome also smile Feel free to give a little intro and maybe discuss what type of wolf you are? I would also like to know your views on why there are so many of us out there- are dog- like creatures more relatable* to humans? Are there aesthetic qualities you think fake therians are drawn to when it comes to wolves? And are wolf therians really that similar to werewolves?
I myself am a Red Wolf, and naturally my therian name is Rufus biggrin
*Not a real word, sue me razz

I really don't know what type of wolf I am. Cause I have blue stripes that mimic tribal markings and 2 tails instead of one. I really have no clue but I read a Native American story about how the Great one took the form of a wolf. Maybe also since we are mans best friend for threw out history as well I guess. O.o Really I think fake therians are drawn to the way wolves are. Just like any fake therians they are drawn to that animal. See if I was fake then how come I don't have a horse or a tiger tail? I was drawn to horses first but I saw wolf tails and other parts of the body of a wolf before it was sealed then after it was re awakened>< Don't ask I posted it in the Thingy about who I am and stuff. Back to the subject though. Like I said I was drawn to horses the first thing but after witnessing that I began to grow from it then went to tigers cause well that was the name of my Elementary school. Then the thing happen with my friend and her sister I began to like wolves. I found out my spirits guides are a wolf, fox, raven, horse, and a shadow creature.
Now with the werewolf thing....I really have no clue.

I'm a Dire wolf Therian. ^^ Canis dirus
It kind of depends I suppose. Here's some theory's. 1) Perhaps wolves create such tight knit groups that the energy is more active and about. 2) Or maybe wolves or more wild then that of some of the other counterparts that when a human is a wolf therian it's much more noticeable. 3) Or there is a good chance that if reincarnation if a factor, because there are less wolfs around, their souls have less places to go so they take salvation with human souls.
Or as my friend Remyr suggested before, It could be like the elven princess syndrome, If you claim to be an elven princess, you may have been around 10 times, and of those 10 times you remember the one where you had the better life.
Then there's obviously the posers who think being a wolf would be cool so they pretend.
I also believe some "dogs" may of mistaken themselves for wolves.

Very interesting, I'm particularly intrigued by the reincarnation theory- although I have to say in my personal opinion in makes more sense for someone to become a better person each time they are reincarnated, rather than it being a random thing.
Also, I'm still unsure on animals being reincarnated as humans- as much as I would love to believe this, and it certainly would be an easy explanation for therians and Otherkins, I think it is unjustified- why torture a poor animals soul by placing it inside a humans' body? And what the heck did an animal do so wrong to be reincarnated as a human?
Unless there is some divine plan to create these links with humans so we will learn to be closer to nature- because if you think about it, the Native Americans and many other ancient tribal races (like the Toltecs, whom I learned about for the first time just last night) made a natural link by relating themselves with specific animals and other aspects of nature.

There is also a theory that you take on the characteristics of our animal spirit guide or those who would take on animal aspects to fight in a battle (zulu warriors or the norse berserkers)
There are also lessons to be learned as a human, or maybe the soul wanted to try what it was like to be human for a life or two.

Yes, I looked into the animal spirit guide theory, being heavily into Shamanism. But the wolf I saw was always myself. Besides, I have a human -formed spirit guide already. I know there are many, many things we can learn from animals, and I believe we can learn to call on any spirit if we need, for instance, the courage of a lion or the determination of a cheetah, but I struggle to see why there is one more prevalent animal within us, unless, as suggested, it is the reincarnated soul of an animal.

For me it's reincarnation. I remember my life on the astral and still communicate with my kindred through meditation. They guide me in my religious path (self-plug the banner below) as well as a few day to day things. Being here is part of my training, as a way to learn to connect to all elements (including light, dark and storm) and to experience what humans go through.

It's funny you say that because a while back I had a series of dreams in which my spirit guide was teaching me certain things. I have learned that in death these things he has taught me will come into use, but for now, they will reside in my memory.

But human's are animals. Why would an animal have to do something wrong to be human? Perhaps that's where they wanted to go. Plus, who's to judge what's "Better" then the rest? There's no pole or line, it's the circle of life. Every living organism has a purpose. Personally I don't believe we're just animals, I believe trees and plants also have souls and such.

I was referring to the irreversible damage humans have done to the planet in the most un- natural way. Also, lets not forget that we are different in that we cannot merely survive, which is a majority of the animal kingdoms' purpose in life- humans need to do stuff, even if that stuff is destroying forests and killing animals for the fun of it.

"I was referring to the irreversible damage humans have done to the planet in the most un- natural way." I fail to see where this ties in. sweatdrop Help me?
I read an article/watched a video recently where they found that feline's will kill other animals for the thrill of it. Of course, one could argue that feline's do not have morals or values such as a human would, regardless, that shows that killing to kill is animal nature as a whole and not just human nature.
Anyway, I was just trying to point out that human's are still animal's no matter what people think. Any soul can go anywhere. Why should a human be able to become another animal but another animal can not be a human? UNLESS you believe that a rat is always a rat or once a lion you'll always be reincarnated as a lion then this does no apply to you. But judging from your word choice I assumed you meant the former.

In the post before my last post, I meant it was a punishment to be reincarnated as a human because in my eyes they are the disgrace of the natural world smile
Yes, you are right in thinking that we are still animals- physically. But since we're talking about spirituality, most humans' minds' have 'evolved' away from living in a natural world and we now rely on greed etc to be satisfied in life. We aren't content with just surviving, like other animals. Yeah, it's true some animals do kill for fun- some, in the case of lions and dolphins at least, even mate for fun, too. It's just done in a different sort of way and for different reasons that humans do it.

Ah, I see. Thanks. ^^
You see though? That's in your eyes. Not everyone thinks that way. Personally, I love humans. There are the greedy ones of course, but we are capable of so much more then just surviving, that's what makes us great.
True, we are speaking spiritually. We will always think like a human, no mater who we are, Just as a cat will always think like a cat, and a bear will always think like a bear. Doesn't mean a spirit should be able to enter a human body.

Oh yeah, everything I have said is really only subjective to myself- as I have said many times, one therian is most dissimilar to the next. It is merely a theory. You are correct in thinking that even though within my resides a very strong spirit of a wolf, I am still human in many ways. I know this as I have awoken from the freedom of the running wolf, it's fast body and it's carefree curiosity, and felt only chains surrounding my mind and body. Again, just a personal experience. I don't expect anyone else to have felt such things.
