I don't know a lot about The Shadow, and I found this website, http://www.otherkin.net/articles/shadows.html, and basically just wanted to know from those of you who do know about The Shadow. If any of this information on that site is accurate.

Thanks,
~Farshief

Well there are one or two things there that I wouldn't think would be real, but I would be very interested in the views of a Shadow on this article.

Archer *is* a shadow -kin.

Ooh I like quizzes
.....
ok lets go .......
and to quote the final paragraph

Honestly picking through this could take weeks and I am at a loss as to where to start.

However what the article describes as Remoras are small dark fuzzy looking masses that are drawn to negative energy (not Shadow) so if you see any on your house cleanse the place and do anything you can to improve energy flows.
They are often accompanied buy unpleasant little cat like smokey things called energy warpers.
I am not sure of any other means of getting rid of them but I find setting fire to them to be quite effective.

As for the rest I would say it doesn't relate to the Shadow you are asking about Farshief.

Okay, thanks. I will look elsewhere then.

But we're not talking about Shadow-kin, we're talking about The Shadow.

I believe that he could be what he calls Shadow-kin, but from what he's written here that is something completely different to The Shadow I know.

I think we need a Shadow Myth Buster.
Any takers?
Shade?

I have a nagging feeling that not all "shadows" are the same. That and shadow-kin are the only shadows currently able to use a keyboard

If Shade is up for a shadow mythbuster I will see what I can do about Archers shadows. and se if I can make things a bit clearer and no offence meant to Archer "more straight forward" the information is there but it's a bit dressed up and unless you know what you are looking for it's a bit difficult to decipher.

Your nagging feeling is correct Byakko, Archer's shadow kin and Shade's Shadow are not the same.
But I don't understand what you mean by 'shadow kin are the only shadows currently able to use a keyboard'.

If Shade is one of The Shadow, (and she is) and they are not the same as shadow kin (and they're not) and Shade uses a keyboard without any problem, then obviously it stands to reason that shadow kin couldn't possibly be the only members of a shadow race able to use a keyboard.

Interesting usage of if-then statements Camille

~Farshief

Thankyou.

As long as you have a basic education, a keyboard and two fingers you can use a keyboard. So there are few limitations put on any kind of being who is at present living inside a human body.

Well, you could achieve it with no fingers at all lol, get a pen and put it in your mouth

But I think Byakko meant shadow in human bodies or shadow-kin, or just any thing in a human body that has any thing to do with shadow.

I think at least,
~Farshief

Hmm, possibly, but it's hard to know what she meant when we can only go on what she wrote.
It's a shame that we must all be so careful about what we write, and how we write it, but it is a fact that we must, and what she typed was incorrect.

The Shadow are a valid Kin race, and are definitely not shadow kin. I have met both in the astral and there is no comparison.

Farshief is right. That is indeed what I meant. Regardless of what type of shadow you're talking about, a member of that race in a human body could technically be deemed shadow-kin...the kin part denoting that they are currently residing in a human body.

I'm really sorry Byakko, but your statement doesn't make sense to me at all.
To be Other-kin means to be of a Kin that is something other than human. To be Kin means to be a Kin essence, whether inside a human body or not.

If I believe myself to be Cat Kin it is not because I am a cat in a human body, but because I am a Kin essence, who happens to be feline. If I am Kin, then I am Kin even when I am not in a human body.
It is not genetic, or biological, it is purely essence related.
If I am Kin, then I am Kin whether I possess a body or not. It is possible to have lives in the Astral realms which obviously are not in a living body, and still be Kin.


Unfortunately each time you make the kind of statement you made above Byakko, you are going to be misunderstood by each and every person who thinks like me, who classifies Kin in this way.

I say 'If I am Kin', because I am now trying to distance myself from all reference to the word Otherkin, or Kin in any form. I am tired of being shoved into boxes like this, by people who don't know what they are talking about. Classifying myself as a part of a group dynamic means that others can also try their hand at classifying me, and get it wrong.
To be honest, I would be happy to distance myself from 'Otherkin' of every kind. They are not like me at all, and statements like the one made by Byakko, just re-inforces my belief in that fact.
I will not be told who and what I am by total strangers who are not happy unless they have a group to belong to. I am who and what I am, if you can't be bothered to get to know me, then that's your loss.
You can call me Otherkin if you want, I cannot stop you, but I couldn't stop you from calling me a Yeti either. That would not mean I was one.
