•Powwow of the Nonhuman, a Great Celebration of Indigenous Otherkind!•

•Many greetings to those who have laid their eyes upon these writings! I am very, very happy to announce a new community project I have been working on for the past month. Powwow of the Nonhuman is a digital celebration of indigenous peoples who identify as animals or non-human species! Those of us who are therians and otherkind who are indigenous have sadly been fragmented and unrepresnted in our respective communities. This event seeks to change that! We wish to celebrate the indigenous cultures, traditions, and ceremonies that some therians and otherkind are a part of!

<•>

•In my viewpoint, therians and otherkind who are both nonhuman identifying and indigenous have a special connection to the nature, medicine, and energy of our Mother Earth, Father Sky, and Great Creator. We have a connection to both the world of humanity and the world of the animal people and the plant people. We are essntially the animal and plant people living the human experience. We should embrace and love both our nonhuman experiences and our human culture.

<•>

•The powwow will be hosted digitally on the event's official website via the integrated video system. The powwow will consist of a pre-scheduled, refined and edited motion picture featuring individual and unique presentations of indigenous culture and otherkind experiences by our event presenters. There will be intermittent periods during panels and presentations where indigenous vendors can present their wares during the powwow. We are working on implementing a chat system on site so individuals who attend the powwow premier can interact and talk during the course of the event.

<•>

•Powwows are not only for indigenous peoples who originate from the continental Americas, we welcome all indigenous peoples from all areas of the world. This includes indigenous peoples with roots originating in Australia, Africa, Asia, The Middle East, and all island nations. All people of color are welcome to present at the powwow, whether they know where exactly their indigenous roots stem from or not.

<•>

•We need a few things to make this event happen. We need individuals who are capable of editing videos and audio since the powwow itself will be hosted on video and prescheduled. Editing a motion picture of this size will take a lot of effort, so we will need individuals who are committed to working on a project such as this. We need staff members to help with event organizing and planning. I will be doing much of the work, though I will not be able to run an event like this alone, I need some support from the indigenous community. Additionally, we need at least eight presenters for the event, not including staff members. Please help us to reach this minimum goal by boosting this post and spreading the word about the powwow!

<•>

•This event will cost my being hundreds of dollars to run and maintain. Please consider purchasing any of my artwork or anything from the powwow's official shop! Custom pieces like the one below, including the swirls and dots will cost around 65$ USD.

•A Lycodraconic Werewolf's Experience With Clinical Lycanthropy and Therianthropy•

•Greetings to those of you who have stumbled upon this post. I have written a resource detailing the vital things to know regarding clinical lycanthropy, clinical zoanthropy, and its false relations to the therianthropy community. As someone who both identifies as therian and suffers from clinical lycanthropy, I wanted to write a resource provided from the perspective of someone who actually suffers from clinical lycanthropy in order to discuss the subject and debunk misinformation. The resource as details why therian and otherkind identity are not related to clinical lycanthropy in of themselves. This resource may be edited at a later date to add any new information to the resource. Do feel free to ask my being additional questions about clinical zoanthropy or clinical lycanthropy. l will always answer all good faith questions. Feel free to share this post around with any other individuals.

<•>The Celestial Spire<•>

•Many greetings to all who stumble upon this post! My name is Luunaathh and I wish to tell you all about the celestial spire discord server! The spire is an 18+ only server for dragonkind, draconic identifying individuals, dragonhearted, and draconic system members! This is a very relaxed, positive, and supportive server for all manner of dragons to talk, introspect on nonhuman experiences, and make meaningful connections with other draconic identifying individuals! Listed below in this post will be a few of the many wonderful reasons to join the celestial spire!

•Close Encounters of the Dragonkind•

•Close Encounters of the Dragonkind is a dragonkin and otherkind podcast that takes place either every two weeks or every month in the celestial spire! Close Encounters of the Dragonkind seeks to discuss unique topics regarding draconity and the dragon experience in a productive manner with the purpose of sparking meaningful conversation in the otherkind community as a whole! Members of the celestial spire are free to suggest new topics for future episodes and are usually allowed to speak during the podcast as guest speakers to express their viewpoints regarding the subject being discussed! Members of the celestial spire are also free to suggest new discussion topics for the hosts of close encounters of the dragonkind to discuss during each new episode. We highly suggest that any of those who are interested in close encounters of the dragonkind to join the celestial spire and listen to new episodes when they premier!

<•>The Draconic Summit Event<•>

•The celestial spire is the adult oriented server for the draconic summit crowd to speak and introspect on the draconic experience after each season of the summit! The draconic summit is a seasonal online event meant to start productive conversations about the draconic experience, discuss every manner of the dragonkind experience, and allow other dragons to make positive, meaningful connections! Every draconic summit, we host special presentations or panels regarding what it means to be draconic and dragonkind, which are often recorded and posted on the draconic summit's official youtube channel. If you want to learn more about the draconic summit as an event or you want to attend the event in the future, then the celestial spire is the best place to get invested in the event!

<•>A Kind, Accepting Environment<•>

•The celestial spire fosters a very kind, welcoming, and understating server environment. The spire staff work tirelessly to make sure that the server is a genuine safe space for all dragonkind and draconic individuals. We all have experienced being in toxic, horrible alterhuman servers and they are never pleasant. There exist so few genuinely positive and non-toxic otherkind spaces out there, so, the celestial spire seeks to provide a rare safe haven for all manner of draconic identifying individuals to speak without fear or judgement or elitism. Feel free to hang around in our positive space! We promise you will find that this server is much more positive and civil than many of the other alterhuman servers out there.

<•>Not a Dragon? Not a Problem!<•>

•The celestial spire sometimes makes exceptions for non-dragonkind and non-draconic individuals to enter the spire to interact with the draconic community we have there! If you're just interested in being around a kind dragonkind crowd, then feel free to join the spire regardless of whether you identify as draconic or not!

•Want to join the celestial spire? Please click on the link provided below! Maybe you have some questions about the celestial spire as a discord server before you potentially join? Feel free to private message my being! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have! We hope to see you in the celestial spire at some point in time! We look forward to meeting you!! 💙💙💙
