Note that there is still very little non-fiction that could be considered to
be about otherkin per se. Most of these items are listed because they
are about topics useful to otherkin, rather than about otherkin themselves.
Otherkin, Starseeds, Etc.
- Lupa, A
Field Guide to Otherkin. Finally, a non-fiction book strictly about otherkin!
(Even if it is written by an insider and thus not good enough for a cite by
strict Wikipedia rules.) In my opinion, targeted mainly towards neutral-to-sympathetic
outsiders and otherkin without a lot of ocmmunity knowledge or experience.
Gives a general overview of the concept, theories of how and why people feel
this way, characteristics of various types of otherkin, some community history,
and a sizable bibliography of both print and web resources. (See also a review
by Daven.)
Spiritual Traditions and Magic (back
to top)
- Hugh Mynne, The
Faerie Way: A Healing Journey to Other Worlds. Interacting with the
Faery realms and beings.
- R. J. Stewart, The
Underworld Initiation; Earth
Light; Power
Within the Land; The
Well of Light; The
Living World of Faery. Interacting with the Faery realms and beings. General
Western mystical tradition grounded in balladry and folklore of Europe and
the British Isles. The Underworld Initiation is rather dense and high-level
material; most folks will do better to start with Earth Light as it
is much more accessible. All of the books bear multiple re-readings and will
yield more each time. The Living World of Faery is not strictly part
of the series, but covers much of the same material, with some repeats from
other books.
- Orion Foxwood, The
Faery Teachings and The Tree of Enchantment. A little similar to Stewart in some respects, and
in others very different. Blends faery material with Southern folk magic.
Unfortunately, the second edition of The Faery Teachings lacks the nine powerful Tarot-sized cards depicting central Faery
powers/beings that came with the first edition.
- John Matthews, The
Sidhe: Wisdom from the Celtic Otherworld. A partly fictionalized account
of an encounter with a certain symbol (the "Great Glyph") in a mound-grave,
and the contact with one of the Sidhe that it engendered. Besides its general
spiritual-path usefulness, many things in the book will probably "ping"
for those of Sidhe or Faery persuasion ('kin-type-wise). (See also a review
by Robert Moss.)
