DEMON OTHERKINITY

Well, it only seemed right to talk about demonkins and otherkinity after the vampirism infodump. This post will focus on infernal otherkins, subcategories, misconceptions and insights.

What is Demonkin?

Demonkin is a type of otherkin and, more specifically, a type of divinekin. Demonkins are those who identify as demons in some way whether that be psychologically or spiritually or they were demons in a past life or something else! Demonkins aren’t a one size fits all thing (alike to many other alterhuman identities) but we can have similarities.

A few of these similarities are:

- Feeling horns, wings, tails or other limbs that aren’t there

- Being fascinated and connected to the infernal divine

- We tend to be very firm when we’ve set our minds to do something

- A strong sense of morals and ethics

- Some feel they are more protective or confrontational than others

- Some feel they are more observant than others

- Some say that they’re more prone to mood swings or exploring emotions than others

- Some claim to be more intellectual and eloquent due to their demonkin identity

Demonkin (like the written infernal divine) are not inherently evil or chaotic. We are just as diverse as the written infernal divine and are not a monolith. When I refer to the ‘written divine’ I am referring to demons/daemons and infernals who are written within mythology and grimoires, like Duke Bune or Prince Stolas or, of course, Lord Lucifer.

Subcategories of Demonkin

There are indeed subcategories and this list, alike to the written infernal divine, can go on for ages. I’ll touch on a few:

SINTYPE DEMONKIN

Sintypes are essentially the demonkin that are linked to one (or multiple) of the seven deadly sins. All of these labels can also mean that they work under or work with that infernal! Thank you to @caninophobia for coining these terms!

Abbadonian Demon = Sloth

Abbadonian Demons are those who are connected to the sin Sloth. They may be more indifferent, uninterested, purposefully passive, apathetic etc etc.

Asmodian Demon = Lust

Demonkins connected to the sin Lust. Lust can take any form, however and isn’t just limited to the intimate kind. Money or power is also included. Lust does not produce a drive/want to achieve benevolent goals, this is important.

Belphegorian Demon = Gluttony

These Demonkins feel connection to Gluttony. Gluttony means over-indulgence and over-consumption of food, drink, or wealth items, particularly as status symbols.

Leviathanian Demon = Envy

Leviathanian Demons are associated with Envy. These demons may wish a superior quality, achievement, or possession wasn’t in another person’s grasp. Envy can be described as pain at the sight of another’s good fortune.

Luciferian Demon = Pride

Luciferian Demons are associated with Pride. Pride is usually considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins. These demons may feel more tendencies of selfishness, & putting one’s own desires, urges, wants and whims before the well-being of others. They may also feel they’re better than others or just have a sense of overwhelming Pride in their identity, work, life, achievements etc.

Mammonian Demon = Greed

Mammonian Demons are connected to the sin Greed which is an uncontrolled desire for more material wealth, abundance, social value, status, or power. Even once these kintypes gain more of what they seek, it’s never enough.

Sathanasian Demon = Wrath

These demonkins are best represented by Wrath. Wrath is uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and/or hatred. Wrath often presents itself in the wish to seek vengeance, harm, or punishment on others. Some Sathanasian Demons claim they feel much more sadistic tendencies than other Demonkins.

ARCHDEMON DEMONKIN

These Demonkins may be “high ranking” within the infernal hierarchy. Archdemons are described as the leaders of demonic hosts and they may have ruled over specific domains, legions or had specific duties if they were connected via past life. The infernal divine, I feel the need to mention, has many many different hierarchies. There isn’t just one! From Dukanté’s to the Goetia to the Grimoire of Pope Honorius! So “high ranking” has a different definition a depending on the kin and hierarchy they may or may not be referring to.

This label is also welcome for Demonkins who fell from Heaven / A Celestial Place. This label, once again, doesn’t really have a single definition — it’s dependent on who is using it!

S3X DEMONKIN

CW: mention and talk of sexual energy and sex

Yes, these Demonkins are a thing and are completely valid. These sorts of Demonkins are those who associate themselves with sexual energies. They may feed off of them or simply connect with them. It’s important to note, however, that being a sex demonkin doesn’t make you a succubus, omnibus or incubus. Please ensure you’ve done research on these entities and look at the culture + significance behind them.

DREAMWALKER DEMONKIN

Exactly as it sounds! These Demonkins are connected to dreams and can walk into people’s dreams. They may feed off of dreams or they’re simply connected to them. Dreamwalkers can be regular people as well, of course, as this is also a spiritual practice.

HALF-DEMONKIN

Again, exactly as it sounds. Half-demon half-something else. This can range from human to another divinekin and is usually found out via more deep personal exploration.

ELEMENTAL DEMON

These demonkin are connected to the elements. Either one or multiple! Fire demons, water demons, air demons, earth demons, etc.

Sidenote: Vampirekin can fall under demonkin category for some folks due to their personal experiences, preferences or culture they’re connected to.

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT US

Of course there will be misconceptions about demonkin and what we are so… let’s get a few things straight.

You’re evil.

Obviously not. All infernal divine (both written and non-written) are neutral. There is no such thing as evil/bad or good within the eyes of the divine, those are human concepts. You wouldn’t call a lion evil for eating an antelope - we are as fluid as eachother. Duality!

You hate angels / angelkin / Christians

Not true! Demonkins don’t inherently hate any of those folks. Admittedly, I don’t really hang out with written angels (within mythology) but it’s honestly more because they aren’t my cup of tea. Interestingly, a lot of demonkin and angelkin are friends!! In terms of Christians it really just depends on the individual but I’d hope we can all respect each-other.

You’re just trying to be edgy

Listen, I’m sure there are demonkin within this community that are 100% just doing it for the aesthetic or for the wow factor but for majority of us we didn’t choose this, it’s our identity, it’s our psychology/past life and there’s literally nothing we can do about it. Even if we chose it (perhaps for a copinglink) the infernal divine aren’t against healing and coping mechanisms… and those things aren’t “edgy”. Us being demonkin also doesn’t mean we fit into a specific dark aesthetic!

You have no idea about the infernal divine, demonology or the real princes of hell. It is extremely disrespectful and you are mocking them.

Hey, demonolater and practicing occultist here. I hear ya’. I understand that within certain sects of demonology and the occult claiming to be spiritually or psychologically a demon is “impossible” because they’re divine entities.

My reasoning and understanding is honestly rather simple: we’ve seen from demonology books and personal experiences that the infernal divine don’t have to be documented to be valid. That’s true enough. Within S Connolly’s work she mentions demons that sometimes reach out but don’t have much information written about them or 0 info at all. Of course this is 100% possible and pretty much accepted to be true (open any occult grimoire) - thousands of cultures (dead and alive), thousands of interpretations, thousands of entities that are yet to be respectfully interacted with.

The vast plane of “Hell” within the occultist community has many interpretations and depictions. What I’m saying is: if you believe in reincarnation alongside the knowledge that the infernal world is really fucking big you might find yourself wondering.

Yeah but demons can’t die.

Many myths infer the end of an infernals life but then occultist practitioners may still work with said infernal or faces of them. Leviathan cough Isaiah 27:1 cough. Of course, many here may also note that infernals can’t reincarnate - this entirely depends on your belief and so can’t really be discredited or credited.

You’re doing it because you’re mentally ill. Stop.

Okay? Stop being ableist so that you can start to make decent points. Yes, there’s plenty of otherkin folk and therians who are and use their identity as a means to healthily cope or help their disorders or trauma. Certainly this ain’t everyone but they’re just as valid. If you truly cared for our mental health you wouldn’t use ableist ideology to determine my “healthy” and “unhealthy” identities.

INSIGHTS FROM OTHER DEMONKIN + DEMON ALTERHUMANS

Someone writes:

What shifts do you experience?

“I experience phantom shifts of dragon-like feet (not sure how else to describe it), a long, then tail, and wings paired with phantom pain on my back where my wings were supposed to be. I also experience envisage (picturing yourself as your type) shifts that contain curved horns.”

Do you know much about your past life as a demon (if you have one, that is)?

“Very little. The most I have gathered up were random ass memories that draw little to no conclusion what my past life was like.”

What type of demon/infernal are you?

“I have a few clues, but I still need to dive deeper to make sure. I may also have been fallen.”

Another writes:

“I suppose I'm an old enough kind of succubus-thing that was always more of an especially rebellious eldritch horror.”

“I remember it all still, but I don't really count it as a previous lifetime. I might've "died", but that's just temporarily scraping one planar intersection away, so I mostly imagined it really hurt.”

“I just sorta astral shift to look like myself, if that makes sense”

Someone talking about their shifts:

“I experience horn shifts wing shifts and tail shifts in terms of phantom shifts. I share a lot of behavior with my demontype, I’ve always been fascinated with demonic entities especially the type that I am! I can’t really share my mental shifts however since they would be a little much- For my past life (at least I believe i have one) I fell from heaven (I was once an Angel then stuff happens n ya), I had a hurt wing and it took me a while to accept my demon hood but once I did I went hardcore!”

More shift talk:

“The most common for me is multiple eyes, occasionally I get wing shifts. I'm kinda always in a shifted state with my horns.”

The next two answers are from demon ALTERS (within systems) not otherkins

Do you know much about your past life as a demon (if you have one, that is)?

“i have vague memories of what Hell looks like, but they feel more like genetic memories than anything i actually experienced. i was born inside this body after all”

What type of demon/infernal are you?

“fire demon. nothing fancy. just one of the more humanoid looking demons. i consider Satan to be my father in the same way that some christians see god as their father if that makes sense”

Another alter:

“we're from Hell, were summoned to play backing band for Papa Emeritus, in the band Ghost. we also consider Satan our Father like in our own way. we are loyal to Papa Emeritus.”

“I am an elemental-aligned ghoul. been meaning to put something together about our culture things we remember, but not sure if anyone would read, aha.”

“physical things we sometimes "feel" (?) when front in the body (?) are eh, our tails, horns, slightly pointed longer than human ears, ehh...”

MY EXPERIENCES

What shifts do I experience?

I have wing and horn shifts but I also experience more clairvoyant based shifts. What I mean by this is: I will get visuals of my demonkin past life and then I may feel this on my physical body. I also get an extreme increase of energy and I am able to feel the written infernal divine a lot clearer within ritual.

Do I know much about my past life as a demon?

I’ve only started to truly dive deep into it however I’ve made the recent epiphany that a particular past life where I was “devoted to Lucifer” may have been a past life where I was a demon. I won’t really go too deep into it but, I was devoted and working with Lucifer. I was seen as a prideful diplomat with a set goal and task I had to achieve. Once I achieved that task, well, I “died”.

This past life has made a massive impact to my current life! I don’t really have a “mission” or “purpose” per say except for the classic “achieve your desires” and “fuck around and find out”. It mainly impacts me by giving me certain tendencies, specific topics within my craft and work with Lucifer (regarding children, abundance, helping, pleasure of all kinds), and I have a few “consequences” as well.

I have had several past lives where I’ve been devoted to Lucifer, as I work intensely with him and am engaged (divinely spoused) to him. I’m sure you can imagine my awkwardness and slight confusion once I started to question demonkin. He wasn’t worried, however. He never made it a melodramatic thing and he never even cringed despite me cringing… all the time. He always encouraged me to research and continue to question things even if it was slight. My demonkin past life has been in shadow work in the past that always hinted I was non-human but it was never specific. Meditations, dreams, divination with Lucifer, etc. Simply put: the demon part was left out… everything else was there.

Side note: I don’t plan to discuss my divine spousal with Lucifer on any of my social medias anytime soon. All I can suggest is researching godspousal and it’s valid history. I’ve many confirmations that confirm my connection to Lucifer, politely, it’s none of your business.

What type of demon/infernal am I?

Luciferian and Asmodian Demon who also happens to connect with fire… no one is shocked. I am currently unsure of my “ranking” but I was most likely a Duke from the extremely little knowledge I have on that so far. Within the past life I was a Hellion (fancy word for “Hell-Born / Born in Hell or Hell’s equivalent”)

I’ve said this before but: past me would cringe at present me - a divinely engaged, demonkin, occultist. Lord Lucifer, help us all. Anyway cringe culture doesn’t exist unless you’re a bigot 🤷🏾‍♂️

Thank you so much for reading this ridiculous infodump! I am more than happy to answer any further questions about demonkinity or personal experiences and whatnot. Have a nice timezone y’all!
