My Definition of Otherkin is: A non human soul who is reincarnated in a semi-human/mortal/mundane body
who through time and awakening that continues may forever alter their semi human body too become a total kin physical flesh body. The astral spirit is the kin soul after all. It is not hard too believe or experience that the more awakened a kin’s soul and mind is that it may in turn and in fact alter the physical host body too reflect that which is inside it.
I also believe that this is true immortality and the only form of it.
Except that not all Otherkin are reincarnated. Some see it as more a psychological/neurobiological thing, while others attribute it to genetics or physical anomalies, and still others view it as a magical or metaphorical phenomenon. (Or some combination of some/all of the above).
