This may sound a bit odd. Which is why I didn't want to post it at first. But iManga suggested I do.

I stumbled upon an oracle deck. The Magical Mermaids and Dolphins deck by Doreen Virtue.

For some reason looking at the art "Opened" something inside me. In my minds eye now I can see underwater scenery. The deep blues and greens as well as colourful underwater reefs.

The only thing I can connect it to is that it could be an otherkin awakening. Otherkin being people who feel their souls aren't human.

I don't exactly know if I believe my soul isn't human. It seems farfetched. Maybe a past life? I'm unsure.

But there's something about mermaids lately that I can't just shake.

Can I get some ideas on what it might be? Or some thoughts on the situation in general?
I feel like I'm crazy. sweatdrop

Aradia, no one thinks your crazy. To think you crazy is to call me insane (though many do...). Perhaps you did have a past life as a mermaid or something, you never know. If I could see you, I may be able to tell, but the chances of that happening are slim.

I have had phantom limbs before. I've had wings, and extremely feral sensory. That's not exactly... human. But maybe it was just a sore back and I was angry.

Anyways, the only other (and frankly less exciting) possiblity is that you're going through a phase. For example, when I was little, I loved horses so much I thought I was one. Until I realised, "Oh wait, horses don't have fingers". Maybe it's something like that?

I've experienced phantom limbs before as I'm otherkin (Feline). I've spoken with another mythkin about it and she says its possible to have more than one kin-type.

I'd say it was a phase myself but I've never felt such a draw to these creatures. When I realized I had my otherkin awakening I didn't even feel that much of a draw.

As for seeing me, will a photo work? I don't usually give them out but for this cause, I will.

No, you don't have to. By seeing you, I meant in person. I could get a feel of your aura. I can't feel auras through pictures, unfortunatly.

I know that my soul is that of a fox. I'm human now, and I was human in my last life, I know that for sure, but I'm not positive how many lives I've actually lived and in how many of them I was a fox or a human. The only actual past life I know of where I was a fox for sure is one where I was a familiar to a Wiccan High Priestess back about... Maybe 4,000 years or so ago? I'm not really sure... Anyway, I think and feel and act like a fox, only I have human intellegence. I feel my ears and tail and sometimes even muzzle anf fur, though I feel the ears and tail all the time. Stuff like this happens all the time. I has a theory. *shrug* Maybe because there are so many more humans now and less of the Otherworldly the only places for the souls to go is into human bodies now?

You do know that Wicca is only 50-60 years old, correct?

You do know that it's actually based on eons old religions practiced by the Celts thousands of years ago, right? In fact, 90% of things in Wicca happen to be from the Celtic religion, including every single one of the holidays and most of the spells and beliefs. So when I say Wiccan High Priestess it's true that I may mean she was most likely a Druid or just a standard Pagan from back then who happened to be very knowledgable, but the point is, she was a practitioner of the very same things that Wiccans now days do, and she was very highly regarded from what I remember of her. Let's put it like this: nowdays there are people who worship her as a goddess because she was so highly renowned and powerful.

So forgive me if I use the word Wicca so that you understand in todays terms just about how important she'd been.

And if I seem a bit testy to you? That's because I am.

Yes. I would've understood if you'd said Celtic, Ancient, or Druid, too. Most people would've understood... Especially in this guild.

And http://wicca.timerift.net/murray.shtml This may help you out a bit. Most people don't know this.

*shrugs* I do happen to know this, yes. And I'm highly aware of the fact that Wicca today happens to be people only rediscovering things and that a lot of the things weren't passed directly down, but I'm also highly aware of the fact that despite being wrong about a lot of the things she said she also hit on one right note: when people try to take something from you, you tend to cling to it and you won't easily let it go. So it's very possible that some of the things in Wicca today managed to be passed down through centuries in the form of superstitions and the knowledge of "wise people". After all, we do still believe that salt protects us, and that was believe that's as old as salt itself.

That's how the Jewish religion and Christianity survived, after all. People attempted to squash them out and instead they resisted.
