•Many greetings to those who stumble upon these writings of mine. My name is Luunaathh and I am a lycodraconic werewolf who is deeply connected to a divine, celestial draconian being by the same name. I am also a two-spirit indigenous Mesoamerican individual upon this earth. This resource that I am writing details important information regarding clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy as delusional disorders/psychiatric syndromes. There exists far too much misinformation surrounding clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy in the alterhuman community. As someone who suffers from clinical lycanthropy and identifies as therian, I wish to dispel the rumors and misinformation surrounding clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy by presenting factual information regarding all subjects being discussed. Feel free to share these writings around with others and cite these writings in resources, social media posts, articles, and essays with proper credit. A small disclaimer, the usage of the word "therianthropy" in these writings does not refer to the medical and mythological connotations of the word, though rather strictly refers to being therian, identifying in some way, shape, or form as an animal or nonhuman being. Any usage of the word "therianthropy" in this essay refers only to the experience of therian identity. The usage of the word "disorder" used in reference to clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy in these writings is used by the definition of "An abnormal condition that affects the body and mind's proper functioning" and "A clinically significant disturbance in a person's cognition, behavior, or emotional regulation" not necessarily implying an officially known or recognized mental health disorder.

•It is important to begin these writings by properly defining clinical lycanthropy. Clinical lycanthropy, also referred to as lycomania, is the psychosis-based delusion where an individual believes they are in the process of physically transforming into a wolf and/or dog or believes that they have already transformed into a wolf and/or dog either fully or partially. Clinical lycanthropy is considered a subsection of the wider psychiatric syndrome named "clinical zoanthropy", which is the psychosis-based delusion that one is physically turning into a nonhuman animal or that one has already become a nonhuman animal either fully or partially. Both psychiatric syndromes previously mentioned fall under the medical label "delusional misidentification syndrome", which is a medical disorder encompassing multiple related disorders categorized by the false misidentifying with a person, object, or animal. Other delusional disorders included in this label are psychiatric syndromes like mirrored self-identification, which is the delusion that an individual's reflection in the mirror is a different, sentient person. Reduplicative paramnesia, which is the delusion that a commonplace or recognized individual, object, environment, or body part has been duplicated in some manner. The Capgras delusion, which is the delusion that an individual's spouse, loved one, or friend has been replaced by an identical-looking and acting imposter. Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are considered extremely rare forms of "reverse-inter metamorphosis", a psychiatric syndrome characterized by delusions and/or hallucinations of physically transforming into a nonhuman being or animal. There exist other subsections of clinical zoanthropy such as clinical cynanthropy, clinical boanthropy, clinical kynanthropy, and clinical ailuranthropy. Clinical lycanthropy can manifest in the continuous delusion that an individual is biologically or genetically a wolf or dog, the delusion that one is turning into a wolf or dog during periods of severe emotional or psychotic distress, and the delusion that one is turning into a wolf or dog during entirely random points throughout the day and night. Clinical lycanthropy hallucinations, delusions, and perceived physical transformations can happen in many different ways. Individuals can hallucinate that they are transforming only specific parts of their body at a single time, believe that their brain is genetically that of a wolf's or dog's, believe that their internal organs are genetically of a wolf's or dog's, hallucinating pain from bones and skin supposedly transforming, or an individual can believe that their physical DNA is that of a wolf's or dog's DNA. All the symptoms previously stated are only common symptoms and experiences of clinical lycanthropy and do not encompass every experience with the delusional disorder. All of the aforementioned also applies to general clinical zoanthropy, with the exception being clinical zoanthropy encompasses experiencing delusions of transforming into any animal, not just a wolf or dog. Clinical lycanthropy is an incredibly rare psychiatric syndrome and almost always appears in individuals who have pre-existing psychotic disorders, psychotic symptoms, mood disorders, or exceptionally severe trauma. Many clinical zoanthropy sufferers understand that their beliefs and hallucinations of physical shifting are caused by having clinical zoanthropy. In some severe cases, however, an individual suffering from symptoms of clinical zoanthropy or clinical lycanthropy does not know that their delusions or hallucinations of physically shifting into an animal are actually caused by a delusional disorder. This sometimes leads to an individual being hospitalized due to their clinical zoanthropy symptoms posing a danger to themselves or to others and leaving them unable to properly function in daily life.

•Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are most commonly associated with four main disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, schizotypal, and bipolar disorder. Schizophrenia is a disorder characterized by visual hallucinations, voices, psychosis, delusions, mania, depression, and self-harm behavior. Some schizophrenia patients experience religious delusions, disassociation, and catatonia. Schizoaffective is a disorder characterized by visual hallucinations, voices, psychosis, delusions, mania, mood swings, severe depression, and disorganized thinking. Schizoaffective disorder combines symptoms of schizophrenia, mood disorders, and severe depression, which makes the disorder especially severe and difficult to manage. Schizoaffective disorder can be difficult to diagnose in an individual since the disorder combines aspects of mood disorders such as bipolar and borderline personality disorder with symptoms of schizophrenia and depression. Schizotypal, also called schizotypal personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by consistent social avoidance, difficulty properly engaging in social situations, severe anxiety, disorganized or bizarre thinking patterns, eccentric behavior, and occasionally psychosis. Schizotypal is considered a personality disorder, individuals with said disorder can have severe difficulties making connections with people, interacting with people, or feeling comfortable in social situations. Schizotypal is related to schizoid personality disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by severe mood swings, depressive lows and energetic highs, mania, reckless or dangerous behavior, and compulsive behaviors. Individuals suffering from bipolar disorder can experience meltdowns, hypomania, and hypermania. Though bipolar disorder is not classified as a psychotic disorder, in certain rare cases, an individual with bipolar disorder can exhibit symptoms of psychosis or delusions. All four of these disorders are most commonly diagnosed in individuals experiencing clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy, oftentimes they are the root cause of an individual's symptoms of clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy. Each of these disorders can severely affect an individual's behaviors, interactions, beliefs, and thought processes. Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are often treated and managed by prescribing medication, coping mechanisms, and cognitive behavioral therapy meant to treat the root disorders causing clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy.

•Clinical Lycanthropy is not the same as therianthropy or being otherkind, unlike what some medical professionals and misinformed individuals will say. Medically, clinical lycanthropy is the psychosis-based delusion that an individual is physically turning into a wolf or dog or has already physically become a wolf or dog fully or partially. Medically, clinical zoanthropy is the psychosis-based delusion that an individual is turning into an animal or has already physically become an animal fully or partially. Clinical lycanthropy is not the same as believing that an individual was a wolf or dog in a past life, a wolf or dog in a concurrent life, believing that one was meant to be incarnated as a wolf or dog, believing that an individual is a wolf or dog in soul/spirit, or an individual having a psychological wolf or dog theriotype. Otherkinity and therianthropy are based in personal experiences, non-disorder-based psychological phenomena, experiences with identity, and personal beliefs, not medical disorders or mental symptoms. It would be an extremely disingenuous stretch for any medical professional or individual to state that every single individual in the therian and otherkind communities are either lying to themselves about their experiences regarding identifying as nonhuman or for a medical professional to state that individuals who identify as therian or otherkind can be classified as having a mental disorder, on the sole basis that they experience otherkinity and/or therianthropy. Clinical lycanthropy and zoanthropy are strictly medical and are classified as psychiatric syndromes and/or delusional disorders. Therian and otherkind identities are not disorder-based and do not imply the symptoms of a mental disorder, with the rare exception of endel identity. Otherkinity and therianthropy are classified as either identity or general personal beliefs, they do not inherently fall under any medical categories. Having a non-traditional belief or identity does not mean that an individual is wrong about believing their experiences are genuine or wrong about their perception of themselves. Having a non-traditional belief or identity also does not imply that an individual is experiencing delusions or symptoms of a psychotic disorder. Some medical professionals assume that therian identity and otherkin identity do fit the category of clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy because nonhuman identifying individuals believe that they are non-physically nonhuman and exhibit non-traditional behaviors and beliefs not exhibited in humans who do not identify as alterhuman. This is mainly due to the fact that they do not believe in the validity of therian and otherkin identity. Medical professionals are not obligated to believe in the personal beliefs of others, though categorizing said personal beliefs as a mental disorder seems counterproductive and even wrong. I doubt that this will ever be recognized in the wider medical community, since many medical professionals look at experience, identity, and psychological phenomena from a strictly scientific lense, however such a sentiment is still important to recognize both inside and outisde the medical community to encourage acceptance, understanding, and open mindedness of individuals with non-traditional animal beliefs.

•In some cases, clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are seen as "fun" or "edgy" aesthetics in the therian and otherkind communities. Commonly, individuals will label their posts about nonhumanity and their general experiences with nonhumanity as "clinical lycanthropy" or "clinical zoanthropy" because they either personally identify with the medical term, romanticize the psychiatric syndrome, or misunderstand the syndrome entirely. Some individuals will continue to label their posts discussing nonhumanity as "clinical lycanthropy" and "clinical zoanthropy" knowing what the psychiatric syndromes actually are and despite not suffering from either conditions. Individuals will also make animal aesthetic posts or images using the label "clinical lycanthropy" or "clinical zoanthropy" for the same reasons mentioned before and to garner more attention as an additional reason. The aforementioned actions are morally reprehensible. Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are almost always caused by a severe medical disorder such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective, bipolar disorder, and schizotypal. These mental disorders make life incredibly difficult and full of misery for any individuals who suffer from them, in many different ways. Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy themselves are serious medical syndromes that negatively impact an individual's life and require psychiatric treatment, they are not something to romanticize or downplay in any way, shape, or form. Said syndromes are not just another form of otherkinity or alterhumanity, they are severe medical conditions that need to be treated as such and recognized as such.

•There have been reports of clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy throughout documented history and across all manner of human cultures. Clinical lycanthropy is sometimes classified as a "culture-bound disorder" and hence needs to be approached with a cultural standpoint or approach when the situation calls for such. Some cases of clinical zoanthropy and clinical lycanthropy have been directly influenced by culture, mythology, and superstition. Clinical zoanthropy has been observed and studied in all continents. In the centuries before proper scientific development and enlightenment, cases of clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy created delusions in affected individuals that matched with pre-existing cultural stories and superstitions about werecreatures and other animals. These factors still sometimes influence symptoms of clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy today, even with scientific knowledge widely available. Clinical lycanthropy episodes or hallucinations can sometimes appear during certain moon phases in certain individuals influenced by aspects of western mythology concerning the werewolf. Some individuals with clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy may develop an aversion to certain objects, elements, or herbs described in culture and superstition to repel or harm werecreatures and other entities. Clinical ailuranthropy and clinical kynanthropy can also occasionally be influenced by the same western werewolf mythology. In cultures where other predator animals besides the wolf are prominent such as tigers, jaguars, lions, leaopards, bears, and monkeys, there exist rare cases of clinical zoanthropy surrounding said animals, sometimes influenced by cultural stories and cultural superstitions pertaining to said animals.

•There are very few officially diagnosed cases of clinical lycanthropy, however many non-diagnosed cases of clinical lycanthropy/zoanthropy have been studied and recognized by professionals in the medical community. Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are oftentimes just a symptom or sub-disorder of a more severe and prominent disorder like schizophrenia, schizoaffective, bipolar, and schizotypal. The aforementioned disorders are usually treated by psychiatrists to reduce symptoms of said disorders, usually treating symptoms of clinical zoanthropy by default. There is some debate among medical professionals regarding whether clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy can be categorized as medical disorders the same way disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are, though clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are described as psychiatric syndromes in the DSM-5. It is extremely rare that clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are the only prominent mental syndromes/disorders being treated in an individual. Sometimes, clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy are never diagnosed in an individual because they have already been diagnosed with a more severe disorder. Having a diagnosis is also something many individuals cannot receive due to not having the finances to see a psychiatrist or the ability to even see a psychiatrist. Medical professionals believe that symptoms of clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy purely stem from a more severe diagnosed disorder. So, clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy oftentimes remain undiagnosed, it is oftentimes officially diagnosed only in incredibly severe cases where clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy symptoms are most prominent and/or overtaking an individual's life. Additionally, clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are usually only medically studied in severe cases where an individual needs to be committed to a mental hospital due to said individual posing a danger to themselves or to others, or leaving them unable to properly function in daily life as a result of their severe symptoms.

•If it was not obvious by the title of this excerpt, I suffer from a genuine case of clinical lycanthropy upon this earth. I am not officially diagnosed with clinical lycanthropy, as I have already been professionally diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder: depressive type, attention deficit disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and severe post-traumatic stress disorder. My psychiatrist has stated that he does not wish to add an extensive amount of diagnosis to my medical record. I have also not been admitted to a mental hospital solely because of clinical lycanthropy symptoms like nearly all diagnosed cases of clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy have. During periods of severe emotional distress, during psychotic episodes, and during times when I am off my medication, I encounter strong delusions that I've either physically become a werewolf or that I'm turning into a werewolf. On occasion, when I am threatened or feel that my life is in danger, I will express aggressive animal behaviors alongside the accompanying thought that I am or will be transforming into a wolf physically. Sometimes these delusions manifest into the false thoughts that I need to escape to somewhere "safe" or "spiritually powerful" in order to properly complete a transformation into a wolf. These episodes are often followed by violent command voices, visual hallucinations of turning into a wolf, and severe hallucinated phantom pain in my bones. During these periods of perceived transformations, I express aggressive and fearful animal behaviors and express animal noises like screeching, hissing, and even roaring. These episodes of clinical lycanthropy often result in my being becoming violent towards myself, inanimate objects, or my general surroundings. Even though I become violent towards inanimate objects and myself during these episodes, I am not a danger to other people or other living things unless I am attacked by them first. I am more of a danger to myself than to others. During random periods throughout any given day when I'm not experiencing a psychotic episode or a period of severe emotional distress, I find myself hallucinating phantom pains of my bones physically shifting into that of a wolf's. I also occasionally find myself in mindsets where I entirely believe that I have either been physically transformed into a wolf or am currently transformed into a wolf, feeling these phantom shifting sensations and/or having visual hallucinations of some kind of physical transformation. These episodes happen more often when I am off my medication or taking my medication irregularly. My clinical lycanthropy is caused by my diagnosed schizoaffective disorder: depressive type. Schizoaffective is a disorder that combines aspects of schizophrenia, mood disorders, and severe depression. I am able to separate my experiences with clinical lycanthropy and the experiences I encounter as a result of my werewolf theriotype, the two are not the same. My experiences with clinical lycanthropy are caused by psychosis and delusions, while my therianthopy is spirituality-based. I am able to separate my experiences with therianthropy and clinical lycanthropy, just as I am able to differentiate reality from a delusion or a symptom of my psychotic disorder. Suffering from clinical lycanthropy does not make my being unable to differentiate reality from fiction, it simply means that I have to overcome specific challenges in my path of self-discovery.

•There exists a certain stigma surrounding individuals who suffer from psychotic disorders and clinical zoanthropy in the alterhuman community. Many people in said community do not think that someone with a psychotic disorder or clinical zoanthropy can truly know their kintype or true self due to mental symptoms. They will often attribute a psychotic individual's nonhuman experience as being part of a severe mental disorder, clinical lycanthropy, or a god complex. Individuals with psychotic disorders may often have more hurdles to encounter during awakening and self-discovery, though that does not mean that someone with a psychotic disorder cannot properly know their otherkinity. There may be some cases of individuals with psychotic disorders being wrong about their identity as a result of the symptoms they experience, though that does not apply to everyone in the alterhuman community with a psychotic disorder. The implication that an individual with a psychotic disorder is unable to discover their otherkind identity or therian identity because they suffer from said disorder is incredibly ableist. It is blatant discrimination purely on the basis of someone's mental disorder and mental symptoms. Additionally, individuals with clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy are also not unable to discover their kintypes or true selves just because they suffer from said delusional disorders. Most clinical zoanthropes are able to separate their experiences with otherkind identity and their delusional symptoms. To present an example, an individual with clinical lycanthropy who has a wolf or werewolf theriotype still has the capability to distinguish therian experiences from their clinical lycanthropy. Clinical zoanthropy does not always affect an individual's theriotypes or their perception of said theriotypes, the syndrome can be entirely separate from a theriotype.

•There are false correlations made between clinical lycanthropy and therianthropy in both the otherkind community and the medical professional community, conflating clinical lycanthropy and therian identity/experience as the same experience or as experiences which are very similar. In truth, there should be no correlation made between clinical zoanthropy and therianthropy. Therian identity and experience is not a delusion, while clinical lycanthropy/zoanthropy is a delusion. Therian identity and having animal theriotypes is not a negative experience or a hindrance on an individual's life, while clinical lycanthropy/zoanthropy is a hindrance on an individual's life, preventing them from interacting with others properly, preventing them from completing daily tasks, and preventing them from dispelling delusional thoughts. Clinical lycanthropy is also strictly medical and strictly a psychiatric syndrome/delusional disorder.

•In addition to the myth that clinical lycanthropy and therianthropy are related, there also exists the myth stating that transspecies individuals or individuals with species dysphoria meet the categories of clinical lycanthropy. This assumption is prominent in the medical community due to medical professionals regarding therian identity, otherkind identity, and the experiences encountered by said groups simply as delusions or false beliefs. Species dysphoria is a very common experience among otherkind identifying individuals as a result of feeling a disconnect from their current body, feeling dissatisfied with their current body or appearance, and missing one's previous nonhuman body. The aforementioned does not imply a mental disorder or can be defined as being a symptom of a delusion or mental disorder. Individuals who identify as transspecies feel that they identify more with the appearance or body of an animal/their nonhuman kintype and wish to receive body modifications to create a more nonhuman appearance that an individual would be satisfied with. Though it is a non-traditional belief, being transspecies is not a medical disorder, having experiences with being transspecies does not mean an individual is experiencing delusional or psychotic symptoms. Clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy should not be labels or disorders forced onto individuals with species dysphoria or individuals who identify as transspecies.

•There is an experience in the alterhuman community defined as "endelity", which is defined as an alterhuman identity or kintype that is based on, rooted in, or heavily influenced by delusions and/or psychotic symptoms. It is also defined as having an alterhuman identity created as a result of psychotic symptoms or delusions. While this aspect of alterhuman identity is valid, it is not in of itself the same as clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy. Not every delusion or psychotic symptom surrounding animals meets the criteria of clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy. Additionally, not every delusion or psychotic symptom that either heavily influences or creates an endelic identity stems from clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy. There may be some rare cases where endelic-identifying individuals have their kintypes influenced by symptoms of clinical zoanthropy they experience, though that only happens in some cases. Otherwise, otherkind identity is not based on delusional symptoms or psychosis symptoms like clinical lycanthropy or clinical zoanthropy.

•There is a bit of a general overlap between clinical lycanthropy/zoanthropy symptoms and the physical shifting community commonly scorned in the alterhuman/otherkind communities. Both individuals who suffer from clinical zoanthropy and individuals in the physical shifting community hold beliefs in being able to physically shift in some way, shape, or form. However, it is important to keep in mind that clinical lycanthropy/zoanthropy is explicitly a psychosis-based delusion, not everyone in the physical shifting community has a psychotic disorder, or even has a mental disorder to begin with. Additionally, not all clinical lycanthropes or clinical zoanthropes want to be associated with the physical shifting community. Most clinical lycanthropes and clinical zoanthropes understand that their symptoms, delusions, and hallucinations are caused by a psychiatric syndrome. Individuals in the physical shifter community believe themselves to be transforming into something nonhuman as a result of magic, metaphysical phenomena, or otherwise pseudo-scientific phenomena. Most clinical lycanthropes and clinical zoanthropes recognize their experiences as hallucinogenic and/or caused by psychological phenomena, not experiences caused by magic or pseudo-science.

•To end these writings, it is important to be properly educated on the subjects of clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy, especially for individuals in the therian and otherkind communities. Any level of misinformation regarding clinical zoanthropy, romanticization of the psychiatric syndrome/ delusional disorder, or assumptions made about individuals suffering from the syndrome can be incredibly harmful for individuals who suffer from clinical zoanthropy. It additionally creates false information surrounding the syndromes themselves. It is my hope that this educational information is able to be used in a positive manner to encourage the understanding, tolerance, and acceptance of individuals like myself who suffer from clinical lycanthropy and clinical zoanthropy.

•In my existence upon this earth, I continually find myself balancing the duality of my biological life, my existence as a Mesoamerican human and my existences as my true, animal selves, the lycodraconic wolf and the ashen black jaguar. Upon this earth, I consider my experiences with being a wolf and jaguar in spirit (and occasionally mind) closest to the experiences encountered by individuals in the otherkind and therian communities, which is the reason why I have been active in said communities for such a long period of time (over a decade). I do not consider myself entirely human upon this earth, though one of the only aspects of my humanity that I wish to embrace is the body's indigenous mesoamerican heritage. I choose to embrace this aspect of my humanity over all other aspects since I know that as a human, honoring one's indigenous roots is incredibly important, to honor the traditional indigenous ways, to pass down the old wisdom, and to keep these rich traditions alive. As an indigenous person upon this earth, I feel it is my responsibility to preserve my indigenous roots and the rich traditional culture that is slowly being revived.

•Who I am as the wolf Naauurraauukk, a mysterious lycanthropic entity dark as the night sky, is a manner of complicated metaphysical concepts, as strange as such a description sounds at first glance. The short, simple version of her (my) story is that she was created from the dark powers of a celestial, non-perceivable draconian (draconic) being, to live separate, mortal lives and gather experiential knowledge for said being. I am a wolf in soul and spirit, created by a draconic being that I commune with, to put things more simply. I consider myself the "other half" of this celestial being, though I do not consider myself divine as a human in any way, shape, or form. I do not doubt that some reading this excerpt, even some of the people that I have come to trust, may find themselves judging myself and my experiences with my wolf side. I have come to understand that being confused or judgmental of my experiences with nonhumanity is just a natural reaction for individuals outside the otherkind and therian communities to have. Though, this is who I am and the details of my experiences, and I am not ashamed of who I am and what I believe in.

•Who I am as the huntress jaguar, who lived in ancient days before the savage events of colonization and died in a raging wildfire long before the establishment of Tenochtitlan and Teotihuacan, is a story and life I have not yet unraveled. As a jaguar, I believe my physical body lived for about seven to eight years before I perished in a wildfire in my elder years. I believe my spirit as a jaguar stayed active long after the body's death however, seeing the rise and fall of many Mesoamerican civilizations before going inactive at an unknown period of time. I know that my jaguar theriotype lingered around the earth as a spirit due to Tezcatlipoca sustaining her spirit for reasons I do not know yet. As a jaguar, I know that I encountered Tezcatlipoca more than a few times, since Tezcatlipoca is the lord of jaguars, though I do not know why he took particular interest in my jaguar life. I still commune with him as a human and honor him through rituals. I have seen both the beautiful sides of Mesoamerican culture and the more frightening sides over the centuries as a jaguar spirit, though many of these memories I had as my jaguar self are ones I cannot recover upon this earth. I only know that I experienced such memories from the intrinsic knowledge that I have. As time goes on and I become more connected with my indigenous culture, I have no doubt that I will understand who my jaguar self truly was and what she experienced during her active existence.

*Throughout the beginning of my adult life, I found it incredibly difficult to feel secure in my nonhumanity and myself as a person due to the severe mental disorders I have suffered from since I was a small child. I cannot fully describe my experiences with nonhumanity and my life story without detailing this long and difficult chapter of my life. I have been through a life of silent despair, encountering thoughts of self-inflicted death and harm nearly every single day ever since I was very young. Throughout the times I have been abused by my immediate family, I fell into delusions and outright refused to truly discover my animality and who I am as a person. I felt that I could not discover myself in the hostile environment I lived in at the time. Suffering from schizoaffective disorder, CPTSD, OCD, and ADHD has made my life difficult beyond imagination. The years where I suffered the most are years I cannot remember without breaking down and crying over the horrific memories. I do not consider those years of the body's life my memories, I refuse to. Now that I am free of the chains of abuse, though, I have allowed myself to finally know myself as a person and know my animal sides.

•It can be difficult at times to connect my humanity to my therianthropy, considering the difficult experiences I have encountered throughout my earthen life, however, one aspect of Mesoamerican tradition that seamlessly connects my humanity and my therianthropy is ceremonial dancing. I am part of the traditional Mexica dance group Kalpulli Ehekatl Papalotzin (Venerated Wind Butterfly Dancers), a group where we engage in the ancient, sacred indigenous traditions practiced in Tenochtitlan and other parts of Mesoamerica. Common ceremonies we practice in the group are seasonal ceremonies, anniversary ceremonies, and danza ceremonies. During these ceremonies, we adhere to sacred Mesoamerican tradition and revere the elements, spirits, and gods within our vicinity, using sacred items such as the heuheutl (ceremonial drum, the heart of the danza, grandfather drum), the popoxcomitl (sacred female lighter used in ceremonies by burning copal, palo santo, and coal), and the atecocolli (conch shell blown to clear the energy around the space) to lighten the atmosphere of the space we are dancing in. Each and every aspect of these traditional ways has sacred meaning and is in reverence to the world around us. When, as a group, we open and close the space before danza, I feel a connection to the wolf and the jaguar that I am, though it is when we are dancing that the most transformative experience happens for my being. During the beginning of experiences dancing with the kalpulli, I was mostly unable to invoke the spirit of the wolf and the jaguar within my being during ceremonies, mainly due to my experiences with my abusive home situation and being unable to overcome my own internalized insecurities about myself as a person. I am naturally a very nervous individual who struggles to express themselves for fear of judgement. In more recent times however, as I have broken away from my abusive home situation and learned not to hide who I am around others, I have been able to invoke the spirit of the wolf more during ceremonies and danza. This is also in thanks to my wolf guardian, my animal teacher who guides my being in the right direction and safeguards my life. This guardian follows my being around in spirit as I carry around his pelt in ceremonies or hold him when I slumber. He watches over my being and guides my being on my continuing path of life. I do my absolute best to honor his sacred spirit and get to know him for who he is. As I have been able to break free more, I have been able to connect with him as well, which has increased my connection with my wolf side, especially in ceremonies and danza.

•In an attempt to describe the powerful experiences I have dancing as the wolf spirit I am and not the human that I am, during danza, when I invoke the spirit of the wolf, I dance with greater vigor and fury than I ever could dancing as just a human. When I dance as the wolf, I am able to carry on dancing even when my human body is exhausted, a testament to the vigor and energy of my wolf side. I dance possessed, like I am not even the human I am living upon this earth, though rather a wolf eager to engage in the energy the ceremony creates and make a good impression on the community she has been accepted by. I feel my spiritual tail, ears, claws, fur, and teeth when I invoke the spirit of the wolf, calling out and "barking" to match the energy in the ceremony creates a sense of immense euphoria pleasing the wolf spirit. Even the action of typing these experiences, remembering them, causes my spectral tail to wag, my spectral ears to perk up, and chills to run down my spine, my human spirit and body excited by the wolf spirit within my being. All good things must come to a close, however. When the ceremony is over and I no longer have the energy to invoke my wolf spirit, a complete sense of exhaustion envelops my human body and spirit, since they do not have the vigor and strength of the wolf spirit. In the therian and otherkind community, this kind of experience would be classified as a phantom shift, when a nonhuman identifying individual feels mentally or spiritually shifted as an animal/nonhuman entity rather than a human. Though my experience with dancing as my wolf self in ceremonies falls under the label, I do not feel that it entirely encompasses the gravity of my experience being a wolf in traditional indigenous ceremonies. What I experience in combination with my indigenous heritage is something more sacred than just a "phantom shift" or "feeling like a wolf", it is my indigenous heritage connecting with the energy of a sacred and powerful animal to honor tradition.

•Even when I am not dancing in the traditional Mexica way, I find that aspects of both my werewolf and jaguar theriotypes appear whenever I attend indigenous ceremonies, listen to traditional indigenous songs or music, and just hang around the people in my kalpulli due to the positive energy I sense in said environments. Being around a community of people I trust and just feeling the positive energy created by the traditional indigenous ceremonies I am a part of invokes the aspects of the wolf spirit within my being.
luunaathh: (pic#15573115)
•Many greetings, my name is Luunaathh, a lycodraconic werewolf who is deeply connected with a divine, celestial draconian entity who goes by the same name. I have been in the otherkind, therian, and dragonkind communities for over a decade now, creating community events, resources, and spaces for all manner of nonhuman experiences. In these further writings of mine, I will be discussing notable aspects of the dragonkin(d) experience in detail in order to create a valuable resource for dragonkin(d) and individuals interested in the draconic experience alike to refer to when they have questions regarding the topic.

•For those reading who are just now beginning to learn about the concept of otherkin(d) or dragonkin(d), I will give a brief rundown about the concept/definition of otherkin(d). To be otherkin(d) is to identify in some way, shape, or form as a nonhuman animal or being. Otherkin(d) identity manifests in a few different forms, such as spiritual, psychological, linking identity, and even within plural systems. For many in the otherkin(d) community, otherkinity is a spiritual experience, where navigating memories of past or concurrent lives, phantom limbs, phantom shifts, and primal instincts are common experiences encountered by otherkin(d). However, for many others in the community, their otherkinity is psychological and centered more around nonhuman identity itself rather than spiritual aspects or experiences. There are many varied, unique terms that individuals who identify as otherkin(d) describe themselves and their experiences with.

•Similarly, to the aforementioned description of otherkin(d), to be dragonkin(d) or draconic is to identify in some way, shape, or form as a dragon or an otherwise draconic being. These draconic identities have the same varieties as general otherkin(d) identities. Many individuals in the dragonkin(d) community describe their identities or experiences with draconity as either spiritual or psychological in nature, experiencing pastlife/concurrent life memories, species dysphoria/euphoria, draconic instincts, nonhuman phantom shifts phantom limbs, and an altered mindset in this life. As is the same with otherkin(d), there are many individual terms used to describe individual experiences dragonkin(d) encounter, feeling that broader terminology does not properly convey or describe their experiences with draconity.

•A subsection of draconity and draconic experiences is recognized as "dragonhearted". Part of the otherhearted label, to be dragonhearted means to identify with dragons rather than as a dragon. Dragonhearted individuals feel connected to dragons or a kinship/relation with dragons, their image, their mannerisms, and general experiences. Individuals who are dragonhearted fall under the wider label of draconic and the experience of draconity as a whole.

•An important note to consider in these writings is the fact that not everyone who is defined as draconic or fits the definition of draconic needs to be a dragon in order to be considered as such The term “draconic” simply means “relating to dragons or relating to the experiences of dragons”. To experience draconity is not just the experience of being a dragon, though also simply identifying with dragons and draconic phenomena.

•So, what is an awakening? An awakening is defined as the point in an individual's life where they realize that they are something other than human (in the case of otherkind experience) or something other than themselves as they are now (in the case of wider alterhuman experience). The awakening process can take place at any point in an individual's life and be invoked by any number of events in said individual's life. Awakenings can be difficult experiences to navigate, which is why there exist a number of resources in the otherkind community, such as this resource here, to help individuals navigate these new experiences and come to terms with who they truly are.

•To individuals who are in the process of questioning whether or not they are draconic, it is important to question at one’s own pace. There is never any rush to discover who you are. Discover yourself at a pace that feels most comfortable to you. Ask yourself questions about who you feel you are and take time to process the feelings that come your way. Definitely do not be afraid to ask others for advice or help regarding the path of self-discovery. The eventual, solid realization that one is draconic can take place over the course of a few days, weeks, months, or even years. The awakening process is unique and different for every individual. There are no defined "correct" ways or "proper times" for an individual to experience their nonhuman awakening. Just be wary of individuals who may try to directly say who they believe you are or individuals who try to influence your identity and awakening to their liking. There are individuals in the dragonkin(d) communities who try to ascribe themselves as authorities on individual draconic identities and draconic experiences.

•Many dragonkind who are newly awakened or questioning their draconity often encounter feelings of not being “draconic enough” or feeling like their draconic identity is too different from every other draconic identity or experience to feel welcome within the wider dragonkin(d) community. I am here to tell you that those feelings of being invalid are false. If one calls themself a dragon, then they are a dragon. If one believes their experiences and identity fit with the term “draconic”, then they are draconic. Dragons are an incredibly unique and diverse group of beings, that should not be placed into boxes and defined by a few forms. It is important to recognize the vast variety of dragonkin(d) identities and be accepting of how unique draconic identities can be. I can assure you that if you identify as draconic or dragonkin(d), you are in fact, draconic enough and just as much a dragon as everyone else in the draconic community. Elitist or exclusionist individuals in the dragonkin(d) community may try to push their closed-minded and harmful views on other individuals within the dragonkin(d) community. It is vital to block out the ignorance spewed by elitists in the dragonkin(d) community, not only out of principle, though also out of respect for oneself and one's unique experiences with draconity.

•It is important to recognize that dragons as an entire group of beings/creatures cannot just be categorized into a few simple forms. There also exist no "true dragons". All dragons, regardless of what they look like, how different they are from many other dragons, or how they experience draconity, are in fact, true dragons, despite what draconic elitists and gatekeepers will tell you. Many individuals outside the otherkin(d) scene will also push the "true dragon" fallacy onto others when speaking about what is a "true dragon" and what is not. This commonly happens when individuals choose to differentiate western dragons, (dragons with four legs and two wings), from other kinds of dragons, (labeled wyverns, wyrms, eastern dragons, etc), and argue that western dragons are the only "true dragons". It is heavily advised not to listen to individuals who dictate the notion that "true dragons" need to be western dragons or eastern dragons, especially when one is questioning a draconic kintype.

•Uncovering specific details regarding one's draconic self can be difficult, and even frustrating. Many dragonkin(d) struggle with remembering specific details about what their kintype looked like, what their kintype did/do in their past/concurrent life, the details of the landscape/plane their kintype dwelled in, and other specific details regarding their identity or kintype. There is no "proper way" to discover details regarding one's draconic kintype, however, common ways individuals try to discover details about one's draconic kintype include watching media containing dragons or other nonhuman creatures, reading books with dragons, searching the internet for dragon/creature pictures that may invoke past memories, and doing deep introspection or meditation sessions in an attempt uncover past memories.

•Self-discovery for otherkin(d) and dragonkin(d) does not stop after the initial awakening process. Even beyond the stages of awakening, one will always walk the path of self-discovery. Similar to how all people continue to gain knowledge and discover aspects of themselves they did not know of before throughout the course of their lives, otherkin(d) are always navigating the path of self-discovery, as there is always something new to learn about oneself. It is important to be open-minded about oneself, and sometimes, open to doubts that may potentially lead to new discoveries about oneself.

•Even during years past an individual's awakening as dragonkin(d), many encounter feelings of doubts regarding their kintypes, experiences, and sense of identity. Some encounter thoughts and feelings stating that one is lying to themselves about being draconic or that one is living in a fantasy. While some doubts are worth acknowledging and reflecting on, it is important to counter the doubts stating that one is simply lying to oneself about their nonhumanity or their experiences with nonhuman identity.

•No matter where an individual is on their path to knowing themselves, finding a positive, accepting support group is a wonderful way to help both questioning dragonkin(d) and established dragonkin(d) discover who they are. Positive draconic spaces have the benefit of containing avenues to ask for advice on specific aspects of draconity, having a community where individuals can share their experiences with draconity and connect with one another, having avenues to make lifelong friends with fellow dragons, and just having a general community of trusted individuals that one can turn to whenever they need any kind of support. Being in a toxic or elitist space can have the opposite effect of the aforementioned, so it is important to find positive spaces with a good reputation rather than spaces that have been known to foster unacceptable behavior or a toxic environment.

•Common experiences many dragonkin(d) will encounter throughout the course of their questioning process and awakening are past life, concurrent life, or future life memories, astral or phantom appendages that conform to the bodily features one’s draconic kintype once had/currently has, draconic instincts or urges that stem from one’s draconic kintype, and a general draconic-like mindset in one's current life that affects everyday life. It is important to note however that these are only some experiences a considerable amount of dragonkin(d) experience, they are not representative of the experiences everyone who is dragonkin(d) experiences throughout the course of their lives. Regardless of one's experiences with draconity, it is always important for one to recognize that each experience with nonhumanity or otherhumanity is unique and individualized. No one individual experiences the exact same phenomenon another individual experiences.

•Oftentimes, many individuals who experience draconity find that their mindset and ways of thinking are altered by their draconic kintype(s) or draconic experiences. Many individuals who identify as draconic often feel that their tastes in food, comfort, hobbies, and media have been shaped by being dragonkind or by their draconic kintype. Catering to these pre-defined tastes can often invoke draconic feelings or memories, which is why many dragonkind continue to indulge in said tastes. These draconic curations in taste can go so far as to define an individual's romantic tastes in either humans, dragons, or other draconic-identifying individuals. Some dragonkind have described being attracted only to other dragonkind or otherkind, due to having pre-existing preferences to nonhumans. Being draconic can also shape an individual's worldview, actions, and general beliefs.

•Memories from one's draconic self often manifest at random times, during specific activities (watching tv or movies, walking, hiking in nature, journaling, drawing, exercising, etc), or during meditation/deep thought. These kinds of memories can be as vivid and lucid as experiences in everyday life, feel more akin to what one would see and feel during a dream, be as faint as an old, faded memory, or be entirely non-visual. Some common kinds of memories many dragonkin(d) individuals encounter have to do with the natural habitat or territory one's draconic kintype once lived in/does live in, hunting or gathering food in one's former territory, encountering unique or interesting beings/animals not of this earth, or other dragons individuals have met/once met. It is very important to note that not everyone who is draconic or dragonkin(d) has memories of previous draconic experiences. Much of what was described about memories formerly does not apply to many who identify as dragonkin(d). Not having past life/concurrent life memories does not make someone any less draconic or dragonkin(d) than those who do have draconic memories. It is simply a common experience described by many individuals in the community. Some individuals who are draconic do not have memories, though rather intrinsic knowledge of their draconic kintype and the aspects of their life. Instead of having visual memories, some individuals have inherent or intrinsic knowledge regarding their draconic kintype, the details of the life they have lived, and other varied details of their draconic life. This kind of knowledge about one’s identity is just as valid as past life or concurrent life memories.

•Phantom/astral appendages are an interesting phenomenon. Many dragonkin(d) in the draconic community experience phantom or astral limbs in the form of feelings vestigial wings, horns, ears, claws, tails, and other bodily aspects one's kintype has/had. Phantom appendage sensations experienced by otherkin(d) are different than the way people who have lost physical limbs experience the phantom limb sensation. While people who had limbs amputated describe feeling pain from a limb that is no longer attached to their body, most otherkin(d) describe simply feeling nonhuman limbs or body parts. Feeling these nonhuman phantom limbs often invoke and empower nonhuman instincts within an individual.

•Phantom shifts are described as specific moments in an individual's life where they embrace or feel the more nonhuman aspects of themselves rather than their current, physical human aspects. During phantom shifts, draconic instincts, sudden, vivid past life/concurrent life memories, a stronger draconic mindset, and strong spectral limbs are all things that can be experienced during a phantom shift. Many individuals in the dragonkin(d) community describe phantom shifts as positive experiences that invoke strong senses of species euphoria within an individual. They can be invoked after looking at specific media containing dragons or nonhuman creatures, looking at certain pictures of the natural world, engaging in specific physical activities, during meditation, or at completely random times.

•Another interesting experience many dragonkind or otherwise draconic identifying individuals may encounter throughout the course of their lives are dreams altered by the existence of their draconic kintype/experiences. Individuals can recover memories by dreaming about particular moments they experienced as a dragon, discover specific figures they knew as a dragon by dreaming about the memories of said figures, or dreaming about dragons that end up reminding individuals of themselves. Sometimes, in rare lucid dreams, individuals may end up dreaming scenarios where they are their draconic kintype once again, living as who they truly are once again.

•How to deal with satisfying draconic instincts can be difficult. Strong nonhuman instincts of a draconic nature often appear either during entirely random points in the day or night or during activities that invoke said draconic instincts. Dealing with these instincts is different for everyone, as each draconic kintype is unique in their own way. Some common ways many draconic-identifying individuals satisfy their draconic instincts are by consuming certain foods that satisfy specific cravings, engaging in physical activities like walking, nature hiking, bike riding, or working out, watching visual media containing dragons or other draconic-like creatures, and listening to specific types of music that invokes draconic feelings in someone. Engaging in different activities, seeing what activities invoke or satisfy draconic instincts is a good way to figure out what activities or actions create species euphoria. The activities and methods I just described however are not the only ways to satisfy draconic instincts, nor are they the most effective methods for everyone who identifies as draconic. Every individual who identifies as draconic deals with their instincts and urges differently. It is also important to note that not every draconic-identifying individual experiences draconic urges or the need to sate them. As with past life/concurrent life memories, not everyone who is dragonkin(d) needs to experience draconic instincts for their identity or kintype to be valid.

•Species dysphoria and a longing for one’s home worlds and true selves are common among dragonkin(d). The effects of species dysphoria and the longing for one's true body can sometimes lead to depression, anxiety, and other negative mental symptoms within an individual. Longing for one's true body, home world, and past abilities can oftentimes consume someone's life to the point where psychological treatments or medications are needed to deal with the depressive and anxiety-inducing symptoms taking over one's life. There are many different ways to deal with species dysphoria, however said ways of dealing with such are different for each individual. Dealing with species dysphoria can be as simple as engaging in the methods and activities described in the previous paragraph regarding draconic instincts, or it can be as difficult as dealing with severe depression. If you find that species dysphoria is inhibiting your ability to experience positive emotions, affecting your relationships with friends, family, and other people, or is making you feel that life as a human is no longer worth living, please reach out to a mental health professional and/or a positive dragonkin(d) support group. Positive support groups are especially important for many dragonkin(d) since having a space to express one's draconity and connect with other individuals like them makes their individual draconic experience less lonely.

•As was stated before in these writings, otherkinity and draconity can manifest in plural systems. System members can experience the same nonhuman phenomena that physical otherkin(d) individuals experience throughout the course of their lives. It is important to remember that system members are individuals like anyone else and deserve to be treated with the same respect one would give anyone else.

•Draconity and the experiencing of draconic phenomena do not only manifest in dragonkind or dragons as stated previously. Individuals with animal, mythic, or humanoid kintypes who identify with dragons, identify with the phenomena experienced by dragons, or have a general connection to dragons as their true self/kintype.

•A select few dragonkin(d) within the community are walking their own unique spiritual path, tying their experiences with draconity into their practices. Beginning to walk a draconic spiritual path is different for everyone. Tying draconity into spirituality can often be euphoria-inducing and rewarding for dragonkin(d) who seek to connect with their draconic side more often. The best spiritual advice one can adhere to is to practice what feels most comfortable for one. Not every spiritual path needs to be filled with meditation, astral traveling, working with spirits, or even worshipping deities. One does not need to have a strict ritual calendar that they need to adhere to regularly. Spiritual paths can be more casual in nature, as simple as recognizing one's own reverence towards specific elements and deities on a daily basis, lighting a candle each day in reverence towards a specific element or entity, or giving a small devotional or prayer to a specific being every day or at the end of every week.

•Being draconic can sometimes shape an individual's entire viewpoint on spirituality and the existence of the world. Being draconic may end up creating pre-existing preferences for an individual regarding spirituality, rituals, and which gods/spirits they choose to revere. As detailed earlier in these writings, being draconic can heavily influence an individual's taste and comfort. This also applies to spirituality, spiritual preferences, and ritualistic preferences. For some dragonkind, being draconic or being a dragon is a deeply spiritual experience that some wish to explore by engaging in spiritual paths that may help said individuals discover more about their draconic selves.

•Practicing spirituality can help some dragonkind-identifying individuals discover more about their draconity, recover memories from when they were dragons, or help them feel more in tune with their draconic side. Many individuals who practice spirituality, draithconic paths or not, detail that deep meditation by candlelight, sitting in silence after a ritual, asking revered spirits or deities for guidance, and astral projecting have helped them discover vital details regarding their draconity. Sometimes practicing rituals or using specific materials in said rituals can invoke phantom shifts, memories, or other interesting phenomena. It is important to note however that these methods of discovering oneself will not work for everyone who identifies as draconic. Individuals must discover what rituals, materials, beliefs, and practices work best for them and make them feel most spiritually connected with themselves and the aspects they revere.

•Many, (though not all), individuals who practice draithconic spiritual paths work with or encounter dragon guardians that seek to work with the individuals they encounter. Working with spiritual draconic guardians is the same as working with any other kind of spiritual guardian or metaphysical entity. Setting out offerings, engaging in meditation in order to contact said guardian, starting rituals in an attempt to contact said guardian, or simply calling out to said guardian. There is no one way to contact spiritual guardians, simply do what feels best to you!

•There exist books and websites that detail specific sectors and beliefs regarding draconic spirituality, however, most of said sources are either not reputable sources or present the author's personal viewpoints as absolute fact. Avoid resources written by websites detailing conspiracy theories, resources written by the author DJ Conway, and sites that seek to dictate how others should go about practicing their draconic path. It is best to do what one feels is right for their spiritual practice or ask open-minded individuals for advice on what rituals, materials, and wordings to use in one's spiritual path.

•Though the experience that will be detailed further is a more uncommon experience in the dragonkin(d) community, it is still an experience that deserves to be recognized and appreciated. Some draconic-identifying individuals distinctly remember having spoken a unique draconic language in their past lives/concurrent lives, some being more complex and difficult to remember than others. Draconic languages can be as complex as having detailed alphabets and wordings, as unique as musical tones and frequencies used to communicate phrases and thoughts, or as simple as guttural growls and clicks with specific tones and frequencies used to portray messages.

•Journaling your experiences with draconity and your own knowledge about draconity is a wonderful way to not only connect with your draconic self, though also lead to productive archiving of certain periods in one’s life. Journaling one's experiences with draconity can not only lead oneself to discover something about oneself they did not know before, though it may also lead oneself to discover that something one knew about oneself previously may not be correct. Journaling can also be valuable for documenting important thoughts or details about oneself that are at risk of being forgotten. Additionally, this activity ties into discovering details about one’s draconic language or ways of communication.

•Common ways to discover the details of one's draconic language or way of communication that have worked for some individuals involve looking at different languages that are spoken upon this earth and seeing what feels right. There are no established ways to discover the details of one's draconic language, as memories and intrinsic knowledge are really all others have to refer to.

•Draconic elitism is sadly a very common occurrence within the dragonkind community. Many draconic gatekeepers attempt to question one’s own draconity, create toxic echo chambers filled with fellow elitists, and show unacceptable behavior towards others who do not conform to their views. During the beginning of the online dragonkin(d) community, (late 1990s-early 2000s), many elitists would publicly engage in the blatant, unwelcome grilling of someone's experiences with draconity, their awakening, and their draconic identity in general. During this period, grilling someone was more acceptable among specific community members and was not as denounced as it was in the present day. In the present days of the dragonkin(d) community (2010s-2020s), unwelcome community grilling on one's draconic identity and experiences does not take place as often as it did in the past on forums, irc chatrooms, and other sites/spaces on the internet that have been used in the past, mainly because those kinds of internet spaces have disappeared or fallen out of favor. In the present day, elitist grilling is still taking place almost as often as it did in the late 1990s and early 2000s, just in private, non-public spaces like discord servers, telegram chats, and other private chatrooms in the form of moderate inquisitioning, on behalf of either one person in a space or a group of multiple people. Moderators of said spaces often turn away from the unacceptable behavior happening in their servers or encourage said behavior with either negligence or support of said behavior. It is advised to leave dragonkin(d) spaces if they engage in any kind of toxic or elitist behavior.

•Dealing with draconic elitism and toxic behavior from members of the draconic community after uncomfortable events have happened can be incredibly difficult to deal with. Since positive, non-elitist dragonkin(d) spaces are so difficult to find, elitism is very common for many draconic-identifying individuals to encounter. Many who have experienced toxic behavior from elitists find it very difficult to feel comfortable in draconic spaces again, and the wider dragonkin(d) community as a whole. Take your time feeling comfortable with the wider draconic community again and recognize that it is okay to feel the way you do regarding joining draconic spaces again. It is also perfectly okay and understandable to never wish to be around the wider dragonkin(d) community again after experiencing elitism, toxicity, and closed-mindedness from individuals in said part of the community.

•Elitism is not the only major issue that lingers within the dragonkin(d) community. There also exist draconic identifying individuals who express extraordinary claims regarding the end of the world, "astral wars", dragon gods or councils having rule over the universe, and other extraordinary claims of the same manner. They also continually announce their perceived divinity and perceived god-like status on a daily basis in an attempt to express authority onto others. These individuals additionally express their beliefs onto others in an attempt to invalidate the draconity of others and/or convert others to their beliefs. It is heavily advised to distance oneself from these kinds of individuals and the spaces they are allowed to stay in.

•If you are thinking about running a dragonkin(d) space of your own, there are quite a few important things to remember. It is important to be accepting of and open to all varieties of draconic/dragonkin(d) experiences that are not doing any harm to anyone. If someone takes an issue with the environment of your space, the way you moderate, or your words in heated situations, do not ignore the concerns of those members. Listen to them and take their words as a sign to reflect on your moderation and improve as an individual. Do not refuse criticism of your moderation and your space, do not see said criticism of the space and your moderation actions as "gaslighting" or unwarranted, and certainly don't silence members of your space who have come to you with their concerns. It can be difficult to take criticism, though ultimately, a space is made for other individuals to have a positive environment where they can interact and enjoy themselves. Denying criticism of moderation and the server environment as a whole does not do any good to anyone, especially the space. Moderators cannot know how to improve their moderation behavior or the space they run if they do not take criticism or allow said criticism. The phrasing in this paragraph may sound harsh, however, such information is important to know.

•Spiritual paths that involve working with dragons and other draconic entities are rewarding ones to explore and engage with, however, information pertaining to said paths that is not based in misinformation is sadly difficult to come across. The currently available public information regarding draconic magic, draconic guardians, and draconic mythology are sadly written by individuals who perceive their own personal truth and experiences as universal facts everyone practicing draconic spiritual paths must strictly follow. As an individual who lives a life revolving around the draconian spiritual path that I adhere to, I wish to address the misinformation spread around regarding draconic spirituality, specifically the misinformation written in DJ Conway's popular book "Dragon Magick: Call on the Clans to Help Your Practice Soar". Many young, impressionable pagans who stumble across this book are exposed to false truths that are ultimately harmful to their spiritual path. They feel pressured dictate their spiritual path based on the personal truth of one person, else they feel their experiences with draconic spirituality will be invalid or false. This scholarly essay is not meant to disrespect DJ Conway as an author, though rather to provide criticism and different viewpoints towards what the author claims as universal fact. Not all false quotes contained in the book will be discussed or detailed to allow for a shorter, more compact essay that is easier to read. I will not be discussing the "guided meditation" chapters of the book. I will also not be discussing the author's interpretations and details of the specific dragon clans she has encountered throughout her life. I do not wish to say that the dragon clans and species the author has encountered during her spiritual journey's do not exist, just that they are not representative of all dragons.

•Presenting oneself as a complete authority on subject matters pertaining to spirituality always leads to negative consequences. Every experience with spirituality, the paranormal, and the metaphysical is individual and unique. Personal experiences with the beyond cannot and should not be placed in a box, nor should personal experiences that do not match up with pre-conceived notions of "proper spiritual experiences" be scrutinized.

•Elaborating additionally on the above note, I am not an authority on the subject of draconic spiritual practices and draconic entities. I am simply an individual who happens to be draconic, works with draconian entities, and is mated to my draconian guardian, who guides my being through my life upon this earth. Claiming oneself to be an authority on specific subject matters reads as self-centered, which is why I will never claim myself as an authority on draconic experiences, spiritual practices, or otherkind experience in general. To add to this essay, I will be detailing the names of my guardians, their individuality, and my experiences with them. This is to further prove that experiences with draconic entities is not limited to what the book "Dragon Magick: Call Upon the Clans to Help Your Practice Soar" presents as fact.

•I will first elaborate on the love of my life, my astral guardian, and teacher, Auullthhuunnaakk, a non-perceivable, divine draconian being of the void. He has many threatening and imposing names associated with death, the void, and darkness, is far more intelligent than any human that has ever existed, though also shows both compassion, as well as understanding regarding my living situation upon this earth. Auulthhuunnaakk is incredibly strict towards my being, heavily encourgaing my being to follow the laws and traditions of the Draaiiithhaaiiillkkaaiiiniiiuunn, though he is at the same time very understanding and lenient with my being. Upon this earth, I suffer from a severe mental illness by the name of schizoaffective: depressive type. This makes any kind of communication (telepathic, symbolic, astral, etc.) incredibly difficult due to the severe mental symptoms I experience on a daily basis. Auuullthhuunnaakk understands this and does not force my being into rituals, introspection, or ceremonial communication. I communicate his words and intentions through his own personal discord account, (alaph_null), as he wishes to interact with people upon this earth in a more direct way. When Auullthhuunnaakk speaks on discord, he is noticeably more intelligent, detailed, and composed with his wordings.

•Another draconian guardian I consult with goes by the name of Vuulluunnthhaaiiill. He breaks practically every pre-conceived notion regarding draconic guardians, as well as dragons in general. He is incredibly vulgar, aggressive, and always willing to engage in sexual contact. He chooses to masquerade as "Madara" by my request, which defines him as a thoughtform. While he is an intelligent being, he also holds no issues with starting arguments, loudly expressing himself, and mocking anyone who does him wrong. Vuulluunnthhaaiiill is entirely unconcerned with how others feel about him, whether said feelings are positive or negative. He is abrasive in his approaches to spiritual advice and ritual advice, being that is how his every day personality is defined. As with Auullthhuunnaakk, Vuulluunnthhaaiiill also speaks on discord with his own separate account, (madara_redacted), for the same reasons as the rest of my guardians. When Vuulluunnthhaaiiill speaks on discord, he is noticeably more abrasive, neutral, and quick to respond to specific situations.

•One of the more subtle and calm draconian guardians I have contact with is Aiiillkkaaiinnaaiithh. He is incredibly calm, organized, and uninfluenced by emotions such as anger, frustration, or fury. Aiiillkkaaiiinnaaiiithh is an entity who does not believe the influence of negative feelings upon actions does any kind of good for anyone. He chooses to masquerade as "Tobirama", defining him as a thoughtform the same way as Vuulluunnthhaaiiill.

•Though my experience with my draconic guardians is vastly different than nearly every other individual's experience, such does not in any way diminish my experiences with my guardians or my spiritual path. Many may choose to state that my experiences with my draconian spiritual path is "invalid" due to my experiences being so unorthodox, though I do not care about the words of those individuals. My experiences with draconic entities and spirituality are genuine and valid, despite what others try to say to my being. DJ Conway's book "Dragon Magick: Call on the Clans to Help Your Practice Soar" not only denies the experiences with draconic spirituality I and many others encounter, though the book also denies my existence as someone who identifies as draconic and experiences draconity. The essential fakeclaiming of not only my experiences with draconity and draconic guardians, though also the experiences of others is not right. In these further writings I seek to elaborate on the wide variety of draconic experiences "Dragon Magick: Call on the Clans to Help Your Practice Soar" denies in its wordings.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘵𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱", (Conway, Pg 19). For individuals who are beginning their walk with spirituality or who are beginning to forge a connection with a non-physical entity, having doubts and fears regarding their spiritual path and future experiences is entirely understandable and normal. There is nothing wrong with being nervous or even being doubtful about your spiritual path and guardians. They understand that nervousness is a very natural part of walking one's unique spiritual path. It takes time to build confidence in oneself and their spiritual views, and it is never something that should be rushed. The universe will not curse you for feeling a certain way.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭", (Conway, Pg 20). The aforementioned statement is one which implies that all dragons inherently hold the intent to take advantage of others, one which is not true by any means. Not all dragon guardians are strict or demand complete confidence within an individual who works with them. Many draconic guardians are kind and understanding, willing to practice patience with those they choose to work with. To add, not all dragons possess the levels of sapience or intelligence to exact revenge on an individual or exploit their vulnerabilities. Many dragons simply have the minds of bestial creatures, unconcerned with forging connections or expressing sapient behaviors.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.", (Conway, Pg 22). Not all dragons hold the wish to hide themselves from others, nor do many hold the skills to be considered "masters of concealment". Each dragon's abilities and intentions vary immensely as they do among individual humans.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘰, 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴, 𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵.

The aforementioned statement implies that every single dragon holds the sapience to knowingly put themselves before others in every situation, which is entirely false. Not every dragon in the entirety of existence holds the level of sapience or the thought processes needed for the attitude of selfishness to be held. Many dragon guardians are kind, gentle, and are willing to do much to protect those that they work with. The statement also implies that all dragons are beings with the level of sapience to view humans and other races as lesser beings. Painting all dragons as elitist beings who view anyone weaker than them as "lesser" or "lower" is incredibly disingenuous.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴? 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭-𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥, 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴." (Conway, Pg 23). The aforementioned statement again brings to the table the fact of varying sapience among different kinds of dragons. Not all dragons possess the capacity to hold wisdom or the ability to speak said wisdom through ritual and ceremonial contact. Even for the dragons that do have the capacity to hold wisdom, a lot of the times, their knowledge is not something that can be considered by the terms of "boundless" or "unequaled".

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦-𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬, 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵." (Conway, Pg 23). The phrasing of "a true knowledge seeking magician" implies that individuals walking spiritual paths who do not weigh all possibilities before rituals, ceremonies, or contacting spectral entities are not true knowledge seeking magicians. A practitioner of energy work does not always need to consider everything before a ritual, especially a simple ritual of smaller size. Not everything surrounding spiritual paths needs to be entirely serious. It is perfectly acceptable to do rituals and ceremonies without an immense amount of thought or introspection.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯." (Conway, Pg 28). The aforementioned statement does not ring true in many cases. Talking about significant experiences with spirituality, specific rituals, or your beliefs does not diminish those experiences or your work with the spiritual, unless complete silence is strictly demanded for specific rituals, such as with the temazcal ceremony of Mesoamercica.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘴.

There is no evidence that dragons in their entirety faced a physical genocide or a pandemic. Naming dates of specific "astral" events claimed by individuals is on the level of doomsday cultists naming when they "know" the world will come to an end. There is no way to prove that by May 2010, dragons escaped to earth in clan systems. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and there is no evidence to back up the claim of astral travel happening between dragons.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘎𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩." (Conway Pg 32). Younger or fledgling dragons are usually not the first dragons an individual dabbling in draconic energies first meets. Every interaction between a dragon guardian and an individual is unique, it is a large stretch to say that the aforementioned statement is true for many individuals who wish to work with dragons. Many fully adult dragons are the first ones many individuals meet during their spiritual journey.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦.

As was stated previously, there is no evidence to suggest that humans and dragons originated from unknown planets, traveled across space-time, and lived in the mythical city of Atlantis. Most dragons, dragon guardians and dragonkind (otherkind) alike, do not believe in a place called the "Otherworld".

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘴.

Not all dragons have the level of sapience to perceive time as a concept, nor do all dragons live as long as humans do. To state that all dragons perceive time as a concept, denying the existence of non-sapient dragons, as well as stating that all dragons live as long as humans, denies many draconic experiences.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺-𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴." (Conway, Pg 32). There exists no evidence to suggest that all dragons experience the same growth stages as stated by the aforementioned quote. Every individual dragon species have their own unique physique that works and grows in different ways.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘴.

Not every dragon has mammalian features, nor do many dragons meet the criteria to be considered a mammal. Many dragons are simply reptiles in every sense. It is a disingenuous stretch to state that all dragons meet the criteria to be considered mammalian.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘺𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘴 (𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘸𝘰 “𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘴” 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴) 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘴." (Conway, Pg 33). What people call wyverns are not "dragon-like creatures", they are dragons. Wyverns are just another form of dragon that people enjoy categorizing as "non-dragons" simply because they do not look like common western dragons. Dragons as a whole are an incredibly varied set of entities, they cannot be put into boxes of specific criteria.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪-𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴; 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘺𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘴, 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦." (Conway, Pg 33). Multi-headed dragons do exist and are in fact, real dragons. Denying the existence of these unique kinds of dragons does no good to anyone. As stated previously, dragons are an incredibly varied set of entities that cannot be simply defined by one form, or even a few forms.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘺𝘦.

This is not true of all dragons. Dragons as a whole are incredibly varied and unique, they do not all have the same anatomical features on the eyes.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘴, 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘴, 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴." (Conway, Pg 34). While there exists some humor in relating dragons, their anatomy, and their actions to cats, it is a great stretch to say that all dragons shed claw sheaths as cats do. Many dragons do not even shed scales, rather they shed fur, hair, and skin. Additionally, not every dragon needs to have scales to be considered a "true dragon".

•Addressing the quote, "𝘙𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 (𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴) 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴, 𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥." (Conway Pg 34). Not all dragons lay eggs, or even eat eggshells after hatchlings have emerged from their eggs. The aforementioned statement may be true in regard to the dragons DJ Conway has met throughout her spiritual journeys, however, said statement is not true for all dragons.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯." (Conway, Pg 34). Many dragon species do have significant features that distinguish between males and females of the species.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 (𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨) 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘧- 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘵-𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩." (Conway, Pg 35). Not all dragons are the sizes detailed in DJ Conway's writings. Dragons vary immensely in not only looks, though also in their size.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 (𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘪𝘶𝘮), 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘴." (Conway, Pg 35). This experience is not representative of all dragons.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘏𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘺! 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘺." (Conway, Pg 35). The aforementioned statement is a disingenuous stretch. If true in any capacity, a very select few dragons have an allergen to the components in poppy flowers. Many dragons exist separate from earth and the solar system entirely, being from other worlds, galaxies, or even universes. Poppy flowers are not even known to these draconic beings.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘋𝘕𝘈, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦." (Conway, Pg 35). The aforementioned statement not only denies and erases transgender, nonbinary, and xenogender experiences among humans, though also among dragons. Many sapient dragon species experience the concept of gender differently, just as individual humans would.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯, 𝘯𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺." (Conway, Pg 35). The aforementioned statement denies the entire dragonkin(d) experience. It is possible for humans to be reincarnated as dragons, (draconic kintype recognized as a future incarnation rather than a past one), as it is possible for dragons to be reincarnated into human bodies. Dragons themselves are not offended or upset about their fellow dragons being reincarnated into human bodies. I and every other individual within the dragonkind community are not lying to ourselves about being dragons and identifying as dragons.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 (𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴) 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯." (Conway, Pg 35). Not all dragons have the sapience to be considered "extremely intelligent" or even simply "intelligent". Many dragons have behaviors and minds similar to bestial creatures upon this earth.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺." (Conway, Pg 36). Not every dragon has the magical ability to fly between space-time. Not all dragons even hold magical or elemental abilities, and therefore court in much different ways than is described by DJ Conway.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘖𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦.

Not all dragons experience a divorce court-like process when prior engagements and relationships are somehow compromised.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴." (Conway, Pg 36). Honor and respect are not important to all dragons, or even dragonkin(d) for that matter. Like individual humans, sapient dragons have differences in viewpoints, some of said viewpoints being on the more negative side.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘌𝘨𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩. 𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩." (Conway, Pg 37). The aforementioned statement is not representative of the experiences every dragon encounters throughout the course of their lives. Many dragons have the reproductive ability to produce more than two eggs at a time. Many dragons also do not lay eggs, though rather give birth via other methods.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴.---𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘤𝘩." (Conway, Pg 39). Not every dragon holds a name, nor are said names composed of musical notes. Draconic languages are not simply limited to musical notes and "ordinary dragon speech", they can be much more varied than the author describes.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦."(Conway Pg 41-42). As stated previously, most dragons do not recognize the existence of an "otherworld", nor do all dragons originate from said realm. Not every dragon is an inherently spiritual creature that has innate connection to magical realms and energy. Many dragons have no magical abilities or connection to elements.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘭.

The aforementioned statement may be true for the dragons DJ Conway has encountered throughout her spiritual journey with dragons, however, said statement cannot be applied to every other dragon in existence. Not every dragon is part of a clan system that answers to a "high council" when rules and laws are broken.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘴 “𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴,” 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴." (Conway, Pg 43). The aforementioned statement completely denies the experiences of the dragonkin(d) community. Dragons can in fact be reborn into human bodies, and humans can experience draconity in the form of psychological identities. Dragons can also manifest within plural systems.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴. 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦." (Conway, Pg 44). The aforementioned statement implies that all dragons are "too good" to be reborn into human bodies or experience humanity, and implies that all dragons have greater intelligence than humans, both of which are entirely false. As stated previously, not every dragon species holds the level of sapience to be considered intelligent. Even dragons that do hold the level of sapience to be considered more intelligent than humans should not be held to unrealistic, elitist standards.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘤𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘢 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴." (Conway, Pg 44). Not every dragon species has encountered humans, nor have avenues to even interact with humans. Many dragons exist separate from human influence on other planets, realms, or universes. Even dragons that have had contact with humans of some kind do not always have strained, dangerous relationships with said humans.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈 𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥, 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘴." (Conway, Pg 44). The aforementioned statement is entirely false. Most dragon guardians draconic practitioners work with are fully mature dragons that are not "learning to work with humans", though rather entities that are experienced and wanting to work with humans.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘮 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘱 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭. (Conway, Pg 53). As stated previously, not every dragon in existence holds the level of intelligent to grasp the concept of universal energy, spiritual vibrations, and magic in general. Just as humans and other sapient species are, not every dragon is spiritual or recognizes the existence of spiritual realms and energy. Sapient dragons have the choice whether or not they choose to recognize mysticism and spirituality as something which is real to them. Non-sapient dragons cannot recognize spiritual concepts or mysticism at all, rather they are driven by primal instincts and the will to just survive.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦." (Conway, Pg 59). The aforementioned statement is an extraordinary claim. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that practicing spirituality allows people to "unlock" new ways of using the brain. Using psychic abilities is impossible for humans.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘖𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘵." (Conway, Pg 59). Again, the aforementioned statement is an extraordinary claim. There is no evidence to suggest that practicing mysticism and spirituality creates physical or chemical changes in the brain's neuropathways.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳-𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺; 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥." (Conway, Pg 60). Once again, the aforementioned statement is an extraordinary claim. There is no scientific evidence, or any amount of evidence, that suggests the human consciousness is capable of making any amount of change within the physical world.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘸, 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘨𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵—𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬." (Conway, Pg 61). Once again, not every dragon in existence holds vast levels of connection to magic and the elements.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘴. 𝘔𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴’ 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴." (Conway, Pg 61). Not every dragon in existence holds the author's description of "how dragons explain magic" to heart. Additionally, not every dragon holds the level of intelligence to understand a scientific way of explaining the existence and workings of magic.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴—𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦.

There is no scientific evidence that suggests mercury in retrograde effects technology to the point where emails, messages, and other electronic files completely disappear and get "lost in the multiverse".

•Addressing the quote, "𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭." (Conway, Pg 68). As stated before, not every dragon recognizes the existence of the spiritual concepts, nor does every dragon that has connection to elements and magic recognizes spiritual importance in any capacity.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱." (Conway, Pg 72). There is no evidence to suggest that the seasons upon this earth are influenced by or controlled by elemental dragons. There also exists np evidence to imply that elemental dragons control the earth's climate.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘹 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳: 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩, 𝘢𝘪𝘳, 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦, 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳, 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 (𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵, 𝘦𝘺𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯)." (Conway, Pg 73). Once again, not every dragon holds connection to the elements, or six entire elements. To state that every dragon holds elemental connection denies the experience and existence of many dragons who do not hold elemental connection.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦: 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘵." (Conway, Pg 75). I work with storms, storm energies, and a divine draconian entity of the storm. This statement is not representative of the experience of working with storms, nor is it a fact that can be applied to every experience working with storms in one's spiritual path.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘌𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

As an indigenous individual, there is much wrong with this statement. Smudging is a cultural practice reserved for indigenous peoples, it is not meant to be practiced by non-natives. The encouragement of cultural theft and erasure by a white wiccan is incredibly harmful.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘣𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩’𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺.

Not every individual who works with dragons spiritually encounters the same experience that DJ Conway described in the aforementioned statement. Not every draconic practitioner recognizes the existence of "dragon breath energy". There is also no evidence to suggest that earth has an "astral body".

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱𝘧𝘶𝘭." (Conway, Pg 85). One does not need to continuously practice the act of meditation for it to be effective in rituals. I as a practitioner of draconian magic do not meditate often by any means. However, my rituals and my connections to specific elements and entities are still very successful.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 (𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦-𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳) 𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘺𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬, 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘴." (Conway, Pg 88). There exists no evidence to suggest all dragons hold rule over "elemental kingdoms".

(Conway, Pg 107). There are multiple things wrong with the aforementioned statement. To claim that all dragons originate from planets beyond the solar system, fled with humans from unknown planets to the mythical city of Atlantis, (a mythical city which has no physical evidence to back up its existence, is an extremely extraordinary claim to present as factual information. There is no evidence to suggest that Atlantis existed, nor is there any evidence that extraterrestrial humans from unknown planets came to earth to influence ancient earthen cultures.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘈𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴, 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴." (Conway, Pg 108). As mentioned in my earlier writings, not every dragon holds the ability to practice magic or possess magic.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘰𝘯𝘢 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘵𝘻𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘵𝘭 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳." (Conway, Pg 137). Quetzalcoatl is not a dragon. Quetzalcoatl is a sacred god of Mesoamerican culture who only sometimes takes the form of a feathered serpent, though that is not his most common form. Those who claim Quetzalcoatl is a dragon only recognize the deity as one single form he has taken in a few stories. Simply describing Quetzalcoatl as a dragon is a form of cultural erasure, erasing his identity and achievements as a humanoid entity throughout the ages.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘨𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘴." (Conway, Pg 141). There do exist entities that hold the ability to reach the void that are not "chaos" and "starborn" dragons. My own guardians have the ability to reach the void, and Auullthhuunnaakk himself is a divine being of the void. It is disingenuous to state only specific entities one author knows are the only ones that are able to reach the void and other kinds of places in the universe.

•Addressing the quote, "𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰." (Conway, Pg 174). Not every dragon in existence holds a name, nor expects others to never say their name unless given permission.

•To end, I do not intend any disrespect towards the author of "Dragon Magick: Call on the Clans to Help Your Practice Soar". This essay is simply a respectful criticism and correction of the information presented as fact in said book. The fact of the matter is, there is much misinformation in DJ Conway's books on draconic magic that young, impressionable pagans take as fact, which ends up limiting their spiritual experience. The books also have the effect of making many draconic pagans feel guilty and their spiritual paths invalid because they do not match up with what one author presents as the only way to experience a draconic path. It is vital to accept that all spiritual experiences are unique and varied, which should not be defined by pre-existing, closed minded notions of spirituality. Every experience with draconic magic is valid, no matter how unique or unorthodox said experience is compared to what some present as the only "true ways" of practicing a draconic path.

•There is a major issue plaguing the otherkind community as a whole, one which does harm to both individuals in the otherkind communities and to the indigenous community, the issue being a group of alterhumans claiming to be a First Nations entity that will not be named. People who could care less about respecting indigenous peoples will argue that these people are not doing any harm by claiming to be the unspeakable spirit, though blatant disrespect towards marginalized groups and internalized racism will always be an issue that needs to be addressed. Though myself and other members of the otherkind community have continually and respectfully called out these racist fools plaguing our community, they continue to double down on their views. I believe it is time for a different approach. Kindness and passiveness on our end only seems to further fuel the defensiveness and disrespect expressed by alterhumans who claim to be the vile spirit. In these writings I will unapologetically explain why non-natives who claim to be the unspeakable spirit are blatantly wrong in their assumptions of themselves. I will not sugarcoat this issue by any means, since I could care less about the feelings and well-being of racists. I will also not refrain from using vulgarity when describing my thoughts, since as I stated before, I will not be sugarcoating the issue for the sake of easily offended racists. If you find yourself offended in any way by these writings, then I heavily encourage you to do some thinking about the severity of the plights indigenous peoples have faced throughout the years and think about how much you actually respect indigenous peoples. This aggression of mine is not directed towards genuine allies of indigenous people or other people of color.

•To start off, it is important to address why the spirit I am mentioning should not have its name spoken. One is not supposed to speak the name of this spirit since according to the stories in First Nation's mythology, speaking the name of the spirit casts the evil into existence. Regardless of whether you believe speaking evil into existence is within the realm of possibility or not, you should never disrespect indigenous peoples by blatantly ignoring us when we tell you not to say the name of that spirit. The disrespect is on a greater level when one actually claims to be the vile evil that is not supposed to be spoken about. When one decides to blatantly disregard indigenous peoples to appeal to their own ignorance, they need to be called out on their complete bullshit. As a non-native, you have zero idea of the cultural significance behind why the name of the creature should not be spoken, otherwise you would not be stupid enough to actually claim to be that vile thing. Those, like myself, who understand the cultural significance behind why it is wrong to say the name of the creature make the decision not to say its name since we know the consequences of saying the name. People expressing any kind of disrespect towards indigenous culture are also just complete dicks, regardless of what they personally believe. If hearing these words of mine has upset you in any way, then you need to sit the fuck down and think on why you are so upset about racists being called out on their harmful behavior. You also need to open a history book and realize why cultural theft and erasure is harmful as it is. We have lost so much of our culture and history to cultural theft and erasure, we do not need to lose any more of our culture or have more of our culture stolen. We also dp not need our stories and traditions twisted into something they are not by non-natives who are being completely disrespectful towards our wishes.

•Now, onto another important point, everyone who claims to be the unspeakable spirit depicts themselves as a furry, skull-faced monster with antlers which... is not even remotely close to anything mentioned in First Nations mythology. That depiction of the vile spirit is a fictional, bastardized concept made up by Hollywood producers with the name that should not be spoken slapped onto the design for appeal. The fictional design of the unspeakable spirit is more akin to something one would see in Celtic mythology, not Native American mythology. Since there is nothing accurate about this design that misinformed people claim is the unnamed spirit, anyone who claims to be an entity of said design has no reason to call themselves by the name of the evil spirit or claim that they are somehow a Native American spirit. Call yourself a wickerbeast instead and do not claim to be a figure of Native American culture, since if you do believe your identity revolves around a creature of that design, you sure as hell aren’t a Native American spirit you know absolutely nothing about, especially as a non-native. Alterhumans who are misinformed on this subject matter really should accept that they are wrong in knowing themselves when they claim to be this unspeakable entity from First Nations stories. Indigenous spirits, regardless of what they are, do not interact with non-natives and do not willingly perpetuate the theft and erasure of our cultures. If you claim to have had contact with an indigenous spirit as a non-native, you are completely lying to yourself. Indigenous spirit guides are wise, not foolish and willing to encourage the own erasure of their stories and existence from history. Even that spirit wouldn't willingly interact with some stuck-up idiot flaunting their stolen identity around on the internet like a trophy.

•I have reiterated this next point so many damn times, though I will state it once again for the state of getting my point across. Indigenous cultures are CLOSED to non-natives, meaning non-natives cannot properly, respectfully, or rightfully practice said cultures. Indigenous rituals and practices have been passed down by ancestors for generations, there are mounds of knowledge, stories, and history behind each and every indigenous practice and belief, they are meant to be practiced in reverence to one’s own heritage. Non-natives who seek to steal culture and wrongfully practice closed rituals for their own usage willingly ignore the history and stories behind each of these practices. That only ever leads to cultural extinction since the true meanings and history behind those rituals and traditions are twisted and slowly forgotten. There is also inherent disrespect and defiling involved when non-natives steal and twist culture they claim to see as sacred, alongside the showing of blatant disrespect to the people whose culture they are stealing. It really does not matter how deep your mental complexes go, as a non-native you have zero connection to anything that relates to indigenous culture, I do not care what excuses you use to justify your manipulative behavior and views. You especially don't have any connection to an evil, unspeakable spirit that is the embodiment of everything vile and evil. As a white person, you follow in the footsteps of your vile, murderous ancestors by forcefully taking what never belonged to you. That is never something to strive for or be proud of. Get over yourself and quit attaching yourself to things that you have no right trying to claim.

•If after all of this you still do not find yourself convinced that cultural theft is an issue, even in the alterhuman community, then you are just a lost cause in my view. This issue prevalent in the alterhuman community is one of the thousands of issues indigenous peoples face in the present day and work tirelessly to fight against. The disrespect shown by colonizers who hold deep rooted hatred for indigenous peoples should never be something to ignore. Instead of being part of the problem, you need to do your part and call out racist behavior when you see it, not ignore it and go on your merry way. Indigenous peoples will continue to face disrespect and harassment from horrible people unless everyone does their part and call out the racists who perpetuate the harassment and disrespect towards minority groups. Your virtue signaling helps no one, start doing your part.

•There exists a common misconception continually spread around the many corners of the internet, proclaiming that individuals who identify as therian or otherkind are maliciously or unintentionally engaging in the appropriation of Native American cultural connection with animal spirits. This misconception, unsurprisingly, completely stems from misinformation on what defines "spirit animal" cultural practices as a whole. By creating the inscriptions in this excerpt, I seek to dispel the misconceptions plaguing the two communities I care about deeply. In order to confront these misunderstandings, I will explain in detail both the concept of nonhumanity in the otherkind communities and the sacred animal connection in many indigenous communities.

•Beginning with the discussion of what being otherkind/nonhuman entails, to be otherkind (or otherkin, which is a more commonly used term) means in essence that an individual identifies in some way, shape, or form as nonhuman. Since the myth of appropriation being debunked is primarily focused on nonhuman/animal identity, the wider umbrella term "alterhuman" will not be discussed here. The animal, being, or entity the person identifies as or believes they were in the past is generally referred to as a "kintype". It is important to note however that some individuals wish to use alternative methods or terms to describe their nonhuman self, since they believe that the term "kintype" does accurately describe them. Aspects of an individual's kintype(s) or nonhuman self, such as memories and instincts, commonly bleed into the individual's personality, mannerisms, and beliefs, which metaphorically shapes the individual as a whole. Those who identify as otherkind/nonhuman often experience phantom or spectral appendages, spontaneous recovery of past life/concurrent life memories, nonhuman instincts, and altered psychological perception of the world caused by or influenced by their kintype or nonhuman self. It is important to note though, these are just common aspects of the otherkind experience and are not definitive experiences everyone who identifies as nonhuman/otherkind experiences. The unique nonhuman/otherkind identity an individual holds, most commonly seen in the community, is either spiritual or psychological in its nature. However, it is important to note that there are individuals in the otherkind community who do not feel they fit into these two categories or feel that said two categories do not accurately or correctly express their form of identity and their experiences with it. To provide some examples of unique forms of otherkind identity, some individuals believe that their nonhuman identity is one that is expressed artistically and/or philosophically. Otherkinity can also manifest in plural systems, in which individual system members adopt or inherently have a nonhuman identity. Additionally, there are individuals in the otherkind communities that feel they were a nonhuman entity/animal in a past life, a concurrent life, or even feel that they were meant to be a nonhuman entity/animal in a future life after the human body dies. It is important to remember that identity and perception are both unique and fluid, similar to individual human psychology. The otherkind communities are a clear example of how vastly identities can be expressed and experienced. None of these experiences, concepts, or identities should imply an inherent connection to indigenous culture.

•Before the discussion of "spirit animals", it is crucial to note that the term "spirit animal" is not a term created by indigenous peoples, rather it is a term created by white westerners in an attempt to describe certain sacred connections some indigenous peoples, nations, and tribes have with cultural animal guides, specific animal species, and embodied meanings and/or traits of specific animals. "Spirit animal" is a very simple term that seeks to define the incredibly unique, varied, and vast traditional beliefs of animal veneration and cultural animal kinship across indigenous cultures. Indigenous animal veneration culture cannot be properly defined by a simple term such as "spirit animal", animal veneration among indigenous groups are a multitude of sacred traditional beliefs that vary among different tribes and nations. There exists a lot of sacred meaning, history, and story behind why each animal is honored as it is and how the animal should be honored traditionally and respectfully. Not all veneration of animals in native culture implies a spiritual kinship or relation to animals and their behaviors like the term "spirit animal" often implies. An indigenous person can honor the spirit, traits, and teachings of am animal without believing they are an animal in soul or spirit, rather they can simply have a cultural connection with the animal and its energy. Animals often have scared and recognized traits that vary among individual tribes or nations. Animals in many indigenous cultures are honored as teachers who have traits and meanings that indigenous people should strive to embody and express. Legitimate indigenous spirit animal guides are cultural animal spirits either encountered as an individual lives their life or is passed down in lineage, clan, or tribe, seeking to guide a person through their path of life and seeking to remind them of their ideals, teachings, and roots. These spirits are seen as separate entities one can still create a deep connection or kinship with. It is important to note that having a connection with an individual cultural animal guide is not all that common for a traditional indigenous person. Additionally, sometimes an indigenous person can have a deep kinship or spiritual connection to an animal by seeking to embody its teachings, traits, and meanings. To provide an example, an indigenous person can believe their spirit has an innate connection to the eagle or the wolf and wish to embody the teachings and energy of the animal in traditional ways.

•Otherkind identity in of itself does not inherently embody any of the aforementioned indigenous concepts. Otherkind identity strictly revolves around the non-cultural aspects of being/identifying as an animal or being a nonhuman entity that focuses on personal experiences, personal introspective journeys, and personal identification with nonhumanity. None of these experiences implies or should imply an inherent connection to indigenous culture, traditions, or concepts. Doing so creates a fundamental misunderstanding of both the otherkind experience and indigenous culture, which harms individuals in both communities.

To discuss the misinformation surrounding the term "spirit animal", white new-age spiritualists believe that "spirit animals", which they relate to indigenous culture, are animals that one's spirit is supposed to be either deeply connected to or in the shape of. White new-age spiritualists wrongly see indigenous connection with animals as an open practice that they can use to connect better with nature and animals. They also completely misunderstand the practice of honoring animals in native cultures. In popular culture and internet culture, a "spirit animal" is an animal, object, or person that someone is either jokingly in spirit or embodies aspects of. The misinformed spirit animal concept is also monetized by individuals, businesses, and even major companies selling merchandise surrounding spirit animals. Regardless of the term's mocking and misinformed origins, the western-made term has been associated with Native American animal guides and indigenous animal veneration so frequently that the term is now inseparable from association with indigenous culture. The term is a form of cultural erasure in a sense, as it has created an immense amount of misinformation surrounding indigenous animal veneration practices so frequently that genuine information about indigenous animal veneration culture has been forgotten. The people spreading the myth that otherkind are inherently appropriating indigenous practices or "spirit animals" are referencing and believing in the bastardized pop culture and new age spirituality definitions, trying to twist indigenous cultural practices into something they are not. They are basing their opinions about an entire group of individuals solely on misinformation.

•Due to the striking amount of misinformation about indigenous connection to animal guides and the lack of genuine information regarding them, it is surprisingly easy for non-natives and my fellow natives alike to misunderstand what the term "spirit animal" actually entails. Looking up the term "native american spirit animal" shows websites written by white westerners and "spirit animal quizzes" that tell an individual who takes the test what their supposed "spirit animal" is. These websites have created an immense amount of misinformation that both non-native and native people have taken to heart, creating lasting negative effects on indigenous communities. It leads to genuine and accurate information about indigenous culture to become buried or lost over time. These misunderstandings are not only harmful to the otherkind communities, though also to indigenous communities as a whole. Spreading myths about indigenous culture and twisting the history and stories imbued within Native American culture always leads to the inherently harmful erasure of our unique cultures.

•To end, the myth stating that otherkind identity inherently or knowingly appropriates Native American culture is one based almost purely on the misinformation spread about both "spirit animals" and otherkind identity. The two concepts are far too different from each other to warrant the accusation of cultural appropriation by non-otherkind.
