Shifter advice (a quick guide):

If someone approaches you saying they can teach you how to shift immediately. Avoid them.

If someone tries to force you into their pack. Avoid them.

If someone claims they know everything. Avoid them definitely. No one knows every single thing. We are constantly evolving and growing and learning.

If someone claims they can turn you and want to meet up. Run. Don't listen or answer. I know it's hard to ignore such a claim but please ignore it for your physical safety.

Avoid cults. Just straight up avoid.

Don't believe everything you hear. There is a lot of misinformation at times.

It's okay if it takes a while for you to figure things out.

Treat others how you would like to be treated too. Kindness is important.

It's okay to ask questions. Be open minded. You will learn a lot.

Late Christmas Present: The Shifter Timeline!

Hey, how was your holidays? Hopefully it's been good. I've been away from here for a while, and that's because I've been working on a Shifter's Timeline!

It covers the online history of the shifter community, from the past to around 2018. I would have gone further but the events from this decade will take a few more months of work at best. Citations should be properly formatted and up-to-date, but Wix started giving me trouble so I apologize if anything looks wonky. If you have sources feel free to add them on by the way, I always appreciate more info!

Have you ever wondered where AWTOK came from? Who Blaze was? Where all the different shifter groups coalesced? Why everything died out? You'll find the answers in here.

Is this a normal feeling for shifters? Does this happen to us often or is it only me? I can feel my self-doubt coming back again.

I went out today with a family member of mine and we were hiking together in the woods on trails. I was expecting to feel my wolf instincts and all again. I can’t be myself around her as she is human.

In the beginning I only had 3 minor mental shifts and an at home feeling but that was it. It was rather short. I began to feel human-like after, and it just stayed that way the entire time. I feel out of touch with my wolf side and my nonhumanity and even questioned what was wrong with me. I know it’s still there no matter how dim, however, this is kind of like a slap in the face. I know for me even if I’m in nature, I don’t always feel my wolf side? For whatever reason. I wish I knew why.

I made some progress with my wolf side and shifting this past month. Maybe I’ve been around humans for too long and the cities/towns I’ve lived in has made me out of sync.. majorly? I don’t know now. 🤷‍♀️

Help?

It happens! Shifters have an ability to "become human" for a bit, something I and others have noticed that differentiates shifters from a lot of other groups. It seems to be kind of like a safety mechanism to avoid standing out among humans. Personally, I know I can bounce between being human and being nonhuman depending on the circumstances, sometimes at will and sometimes by accident. It seems to be a trait of shifters.

It could be that since you couldn't be yourself fully around your family member, you weren't able to fully mental shift and felt a subconscious need to remain partially human? But it does happen, and you're not abnormal for experiencing it.

I have a question! You have stuff saying you practice p-shifting in your bio, could I have more info about that? I've heard it mentioned before but know very little.

Of course! Recently I havent been practicing as much, and Im currently going through a phase of reteaching myself certain important values (yet again lol) but I'll try my best to tell you a bit more.

P-shifting is basically the form (or practice) of physically changing into an animal. Its widely believed to be taboo, but if you know where to look you will find plenty of help if you are looking to accomplish it.

I practice physically shifting into an animal, and theres plenty of structured ways to go about it. (Such as PhMP, Blaze's method, etc.) I currently have been practicing more therianthropic ways of mentally shifting and sort of lost touch with physically shifting, so Ill be getting back to it as soon as my power turns back on and I have the time to delve deeper once again. (Currently my whole city has no power, im currently at a casino writing this-)

Theres this idea that its very harmful and dangerous, but in honesty I personally have never had to deal with it being very harmful and/or dangerous to me or my mental health. In fact, before it I was very mentally ill, so its been a journey of healing and self-discovery. I feel like its taught me how to care for myself, accept myself and how I look, and be present to who I am and where I am in the moment. (Sounds counterintuitive, but after all of this time I have gotten here lol)

I have read that its very cult-like, and teaches people to do horrible, nasty stuff - but I've been lucky to never have to deal with it. Im so, very sorry for anyone who has. As long as you critically think, take the time to understand and conceptualize what you are doing, and take it slow, most likely you wont hurt yourself by practicing it.

People can be very misguiding and can hurt you if you arent careful, but know that physically shifting shouldn't hurt you in such a way that you will have to heal, put you in danger, or go to the hospital. You do not need anything to physically shift either. (No spells, no eating raw meat, no cutting yourself, no starving yourself, no getting bitten or meeting up with strangers, etc. Anyone who tells you anything of the sort is wrong, or is trying to manipulate you.)

Of course, not everyone can have bad intentions, but please be weary and keep your head screwed on tight when you are learning new things about p-shifting in general. Fantasy and the real world can be very, very easily blurred together with this sort of topic. If it seems dangerous, then listen to yourself and simply don't do it. There is always another way.

Its kinda difficult to necessarily explain it in a way for anyone to understand well - its really your journey and is something that you have to go and find out yourself from finding other resources. I guess you could say its like therianthropy, but we physically shift instead. Of course, theres more differences, but thats the most basic way to explain it.

I hope this answered your question!

Stars's Introduction

Hello fellow critters of the internet!!! I'm Stars (but I also go by Finnegan). I use they/them pronouns and I'm also autistic.

I'm a dragon shifter and a limb grower of an unnamed species. My dragon species, I believe, is a white feathered dragon from Scandinavia and neighboring regions. Based on instincts and a little bit of guessing, I think it's an ambush predator that camouflages itself in snow and primarily preys on elk and salmon! I'll have to draw what I think it looks like at some point. The other species I'm still figuring out but I'll give updates with time.

I've never fully shifted, likely because I don't feel safe shifting here due to my family, but I believe I've had an incomplete sleep-shift in the past and I've made some progress with wing growth.

I turn 18 on September 16th, 2024!

Other p-shifters, supernaturals, mythicals, or whatever term we're using to call ourselves by,, please interact!!

This blog will be somewhat of a journal, it's NOT a teaching blog because tbh I don't know what I'm doing either </3 I'm just exploring my species and identity and writing about it along the way!

My posts (not rbs) will be under [#starshifts]!

°•*TIPS AND ADVICE FOR LOA AND VOID*•°

Guys i have come to decide that my time have come to an end in this amazing app tumblr I feel honoured to be a part of this beautiful community but before I go I would like to give some tips to everyone who.are still in their void/manifestation/shifting journey.

So as we know this is your journey to seize your power no one is gonna be there to help you except yourself. If you have been in this journey for a long time the only thing you are lacking is trust with yourself. Start building trust with yourself,it will become easier to persist. Consistency and persistence is needed of course but also trust within yourself.

I was also someone who struggled alot as a beginner for years but I slowly learned different things that are key to manifest/enter void/shift. Now don't ask what is the key because it has been mentioned in almost every loa post you read.

Follow your own style of manifesting,if you feel frustrated over methods then choose one which resonates with you,what matters is you feeling satisfied at the end.

Now this is for my a+ p girlies, I know I said it multiple times but don't affirm to get in 3D,affirm to make it your dominant thought,your goal should be making the affirmation your dominant thought that's it. It becomes thousand times easier because you also start to detach from the old story,your attention will be more on believing in that affirmation rather then seeing it in the 3D. Like this😤🤌

When we hear about horror stories,we don't see the ghost but we still believe it exist right? We start reaffirming unconscious like there is ghost in the kitchen stuff like that. (That was one shitty example ☠️💀)

I get a LOTS of ask about robotic affirming and saturation,guys it's simple they both quite similar. Well in robotic affirming you just have to chant it without really focusing on it as it saturate you and it's mostly helps with mental diet.

But during saturation try to be more focus on the affirmation,it like focus affirming.

Moving on to void,I will really recommend using the distraction method or zone out method they both are same nothing different. Also just read the masterlist from my old account @graychrissy it had mostly void post with my documented void journey. Also read rotten's shifting guide then use the gateway tape it is available in spotify too,it can be instant to reach the focus 10,but some may need practice but it's easy nothing overcomplicated just a hemi sync (Turing off left side of the brain).

Top method I recommend is affirming,SATS,FOCUS 10,DISTRACTION METHOD, LUCID DREAMING and THE BASIC WAY

NEVER BE AFRAID OF YOUR EMOTIONS,seriously it's something everyone dm me about it's really not important,your emotions are also 3D,it won't mess up your manifestation so just calm down.

Also since the link in master list aren't working I will make a new one,I will be changing the whole lay out of my blog then you guys can use it. Goodbye~~~~~~~;)

[oliverexperience]

Things I did as a shifter over the years~

THE GENERAL ADVICE:

(Keep in mind this is just based on my personal experiences. Everyone's experiences are different and in their own way valid as no two people are alike.)

Online packs on kik when I was first discovering what and who I was. Ah yes those were chaotic days and many cultish packs were online still back then. Was it always good? No absolutely not. However, I did get to make one very good friend who I'm still in touch with today. Overall not the greatest experiences in the community as a whole though.

Online packs on discord. Again we run into the problem of "is this a safe environment to be in or not?" Which is understandable as strangers online are unpredictable as they are strangers. At the same time there are a few good packs out there. My advice is caution.

Going to a doctor for medical rule out. I made sure to see a doctor regarding the aches and pains I experienced first. I wanted to rule out anything medical it could be caused by. No doctor could explain it. I am perfectly physically healthy.

Researching wolves, werewolves, mythology, everything. I want to continue gain more knowledge and learn and be open to information whether I believe that information or not. Listening is vital. Keeping an open mind is important.

Being judgmental and learning from it. Many times I see people shut down over certain topics. I used to be one of them and noped right out of there. Would not hear what others experience or have to say. Honestly, wish I had been more kinder to folks back in those stubborn headed days. Nowadays I have morals and I try to listen to the best of my capabilities even if I might not agree. Kindness is Important to have in this community and I think a lot of us forget it as we aren't keen on trusting others easily or being open to new things.

Thinking poorly of others beliefs and experiences whether it was them claiming to be a real vampire or cat shifter or therian/otherkin. I was not great in my high school days and I'll own that. I didn't think you could be both shifter and otherkin/therian or that otherkin/therian experiences were BS. I thought the only type of shifters were wolves. I thought many things back then. Hindsight is 20/20. Being kind again goes a long way even if you don't believe or agree with it and if you are open to learning more than there's a lot to learn.

Ignoring red flags and that can cost you your mental health. We'd have people in online packs say they can turn a person just have to meet them, that they can teach you how to shift, that they have "alpha blood" and are far superior, etc. Whatever they said in the past I ignored it as back then I didn't know what I currently know now. Now there are actually natural born leaders but saying you are superior and better than everyone else is overly confident is not great as people change constantly. Evolve constantly, learn, and adapt better and better over time.

Again, all information is based on my own knowledge of being a shifter for years. Being around those who are shifters or supernaturals for years. What may have been my experiences might not be yours. However, I can raise awareness and hopefully help you check yourself. Maybe see things in a new light or appreciate the advice given.

I'm not trying to add more fuel to the fire by any means, but y'all are aware that p-shifters having opinions (even controversial ones!) is not a sign of malicious intent? Everyone has opinions lol

Xem's post was opinionated, but it wasn't really harmful imo? (Like I guess you could argue emotional harm, but it wasn't on the same level as someone telling you to drink toxic materials or practice harmful rituals, so I don't see why it's as big a deal.) I don't get why everyone is acting like this is the evils of p-shifting, even some of the people who disagreed with what Xem was saying pointed out that it's similar to what older therians would have said. Disagree if you want, but "do your research" isn't a unique p-shifter position lmao

Also, personally (I can't speak for other shifters on the matter, I am not the shifter community's spokesperson) I don't think I really mind if others use the term, as long as they know what they're getting into, and other shifters aren't defined out of it. Neither of which seems to be happening from what I can see? I do find it interesting that the people who say we're all bad and evil suddenly care so much about our community - if we're that bad, shouldn't you want our community to be overwritten? Shouldn't you want abusers to not have a place to abuse?

Idk, this discourse is weird to me.

Im really hyped about two papers I found discussing physical shapeshifting. I never thought I'd find such a thing, but they exist!

(Technically they looked at shamanism, not physical shifters outright, but some shamans claim to shift physically, so they're included.)

The first paper goes over conditions that could mimic or look like shamanism in the clinical sphere, such as epilepsy and lycanthropy, but we all knew that - most within and outside of the shifter community understand that these things can be confused for other conditions. The paper notes that shamanism is not pathological in nature, and isn't a clinical condition, it's just a comparison for people to better understand how these experiences could occur psychologically.

The second paper talks about shamanic shapeshifting in-depth - it cites a few cases where shamans possessed or became birds, and then goes into the neurobiology behind shamanic shapeshifting. They conclude by saying that shapeshifting may have had an evolutionary benefit by reducing stress and encouraging creativity, and pondering about whether it strengthens harmony between humans and nonhumans.

Shapeshifting, even physical, is healthy. I'm trying to find other articles that talk about shapeshifting; I'm using "shamanism", "lycanthropy" and "shapeshifting" as keywords. I've gotten this far, I'm sure there are more out there :)

I know I've been hella active today, but here's something to think about:

I have struggled for years to find other physical shifters, and I either find a p-shifter who just randomly mentions to me while we are talking that they are a p-shifter, or I meet people who are "supposedly" p-shifters, but have never said it.

I've noticed this trend, especially with really p-shifters. We are very quiet. We arent going to walk around screaming at the top of our lungs and crying out that we can teach p-shifting most of the time, because one, it's super stressful to many, and two, being a physical shifting flocks SO MANY beginners who just want to skip everything else and want to know how to p-shift, NOW.

I would say it's a red flag to see anyone talking about how they can teach others to p-shift. Definently ask questions, but dont invalidate. I teach when people ask, but talk about only my experiences, and others. It's important to remember, specifically for me, I am talking out of experience only, so I can be biased, wrong, and everyone should always take my advice with a grain of salt. Because I dont know better, and I'm just a random person on the internet.

And I guess I dont really get why people think that p-shifters are so bad, because we are still beings with a consciousness and feelings too. Most of the time, p-shifters who are genuinely diabolical or terrible people are just bad people.

I will say though, I've attempted p-shifting a few times, but I have yet to fully mental shift and physically shift, so I dont have much advice on p-shifting in general.

All in all, I'm just trying to say that p-shifters are just trying to exist, and I'm not going to yell loud and proud about it because I dont want to be blocked by others just because of the stereotype type attached to the p-shifter label. It's basically a death sentence to have the p-shifter label attached to your account, because of how horrible people have been under that title in the past. Using it as a 'shield' of sorts to get away with terrible acts. The label I use does not express the views I hold, nor my actions, and I hate that it's like this out in the wild, wild west of the internet.

That's all, I did say that this post was something to think about. Apparently I've been super naive to literally everything, being so sheltered on Amino. Man that place is dusty, theres so much going on here.

And I'm not here to cause issues or make a debate, just here to talk about this stuff! This blog is about shapeshifting and such, so I'm here to educate (if requested), share my identity and my experiences, and take a break from posting on my Amino. These are just lower-quality posts for my amino, and I just don't feel like it atm.

Feel free to ask questions anytime in my inbox, and thank you for reading <3

Oooh I just figured out what an m-flare is. so THAT's what happened to me that one time!! It was such a crazy experience, I was getting ready to shower and it just hit me out of nowhere. I was actually struggling to speak for a few minutes it was so strong! Crazy how I've been in the nonhuman community since August 2022 and I'm still learning new things 😭

REMEMBER: if someone tells you they can physically shift and can teach you how to do the same, just block and move on.

honestly the things people do for people they like are craaaaazy. just think of what u were willing to do for someone u had a major crush on. if they’re not going out of their way they’re just not that into u i fear

#gender is irrelevant btw like i’ve heard of guys and girls memorizing the shift of someone they like #and just going in when they’re working #ive heard of people intentionally planning situations to run into someone #buying cute gifts grand gestures etc #everyone is different w how they express their feelings #but if there’s no actual effort it’s probably best to just leave it and ur not losing much if u drop it #i’m an opportunist so i’m always like oh nooo but what if this person Could’ve Been Great !!! #if they weren’t great to begin with chances r they’re not getting any better. ur fine #p

how are endels okay but physical shifters aren’t? make it make sense

Endels are, by the nature of it being a term tied to delusions, stating that they are experiencing delusions that affect their identity. P-shifters are claiming it's actually real. P-shifters are making a physical claim; endels and clinical zoanthropes are not. These are two wildly different things and I'm not honestly sure why you would ever treat them as though they're equivalent?

To expand this a bit to an edge case that I've seen a couple times recently and which I suspect prompted this line of thinking (please correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but it's the only way I can imagine these two things being treated as even a little bit the same thing): In the cases where someone who knows they're experiencing delusions is "reclaiming" the word p-shifter:

you can't "reclaim" a term that never belonged to you; you're just trying to change the meaning of the word entirely to something it's never meant,

the word is still making it sound like you're making a physical claim, because that's all it's ever meant, and I am thus going to assume you mean that until proven otherwise and you shouldn't be surprised I'm doing so, and perhaps most importantly,

this is a word that has been widely used to manipulate and harm people by promising no, physical shifting is real, you just can't do it because you haven't tried hard enough and if you listen to me and do everything I say you'll get there someday. Reclaimed terms are terms that have been used in a derogatory sense toward the group of people that is now reclaiming them. "P-shifter" is not a term that has ever been used that way, it's the self-identifier of a group of people that has historically been responsible for rampant manipulation and abuse of young therians and otherkin. This is admittedly not the best parallel because of the degree of inherently meaning something harmful being different, but it's a little like trying to "reclaim" the term TERF by changing it to mean something somewhat similar but ultimately different, and then being surprised when people assume you're a transphobe and treat you as such. Page just wrote a good post about this here that put it better than I can.

Does that clarify things/make sense?
