Alterhuman Wonderland

Alterhuman Wonderland is a convention held the weekend before Christmas for alterhumans and systems of all kinds! Otherkin, therians, otherhearted, othershards, vampires, unspecified alterhumans, systems of all sorts, incarnates, and anything else you can think of under the Alterhuman umbrella!

We have panels and events related to both Alterhuman (& plural), and winter holiday topics, anywhere from history of Christmas to modern celebrations of pagan holidays, to system life during the holidays, to how your heart-type affects your day to day life, and more!

This spell is to help connect you to your kintype more and find a more stable balance between your human and animal sides. Note that this is not to help you discover your kintype, I highly suggest journaling and research for that! Also, for polykin, only do one kintype at a time, and don’t do them all at once, it could confuse you or drain your energy.

For this I’m just going to share my personal version of the spell that I used for my orca kintype, but just change the ingredients to fit your kintype better! I’ll reblog later with some more versions of this spell, but for now here is a good list of items you might want to use and their correspondences https://gensgrimoire.tumblr.com/post/163416840566/common-spell-items

Now, what you need for this spell:

-a quiet place to perform the spell, preferably outside or some place close to your kintype

-a rock, quartz crystal, or some other object to help gound/center you that represents stability or balance

-objects that remind you of your kintype or its habitat, I used:

     my “ocean in a bottle” necklace (if you’re curious, I posted the spell for it just before this)

     ocean water

     sea shells

     sea glass

     sand

-some kind of scented candle (fire), incense (air), potpourri (earth), or oils (water, which is what I am using) with corresponding intent or reminds you of your kintype. I used:

     lavender oil (peace)

     rosemary (connection to the ocean and clear thinking)

-a small amount of these herbs:

     cilantro (helps one attune with their soul)

     coffee (overcoming internal blockages)

     basil (dispels confusion)

-lastly, a plate to place the herbs on

First, set up everything in your quiet place. Arrange the kintype objects however you want, but place your candle (or whatever you have) nearby so that you can smell it but it won’t get in the way as your perform your spell. Place the plate of herbs in front of you, and hold your rock.

Fill the rock with your intention, remembering that it is your object of stability, meant to keep you from going too far to one side or the other. Then touch each of the kintype objects around you, first with your hands, focusing on the feeling against your skin and then imagining how it would feel through your kintype’s skin/fur/paw pads/etc, then touch them with your rock. Afterwards, place your rock in the bed of herbs, sprinkle a bit of the herb mixture onto your rock if you feel that will help, then close your eyes to start the meditation.

Hold one of your kintype objects as you meditate if you wish, and remember to breathe deeply and clear your mind.Now imagine, as a human, you are in your kintype’s habitat. Imagine as vividly as possible with every sense. Feel the cold water against your bare skin, feel the waves gently rocking you back and forth, think of what every sense would experience there.

Then imagine you are turning into your kintype. Imagine the physical feelings of each limb turning into that of your kintype, your senses changing. Focus on how it feels to be your kintype, then feel the enviroment around you as you did as a human, but now as your kintype instead. Feel what they feel, hear what they hear.

Now go around in your habitat, feeling your body as it moves the same way others of your species do, having the same sense of smell and everything. Enjoy your animal form and do whatever you want, for as long as you see fit.

I created this spell to help me feel more like a specific character I made up, as I have trouble with self confidence but this character is very confident! I find it fairly easy to "become" another character (like in an acting sort of way, I mean!) Fictionkin are free to use this spell to feel more like their kintype if they want c: Or you could do it for Halloween if you're going as a specific character, or just whenever you might need it!

What you'll need:

Pictures/drawings of desired character

A writing utensil Clothes/accessories that remind you of the character

Bowl of water, preferably a specific type of water with a corresponding intent to the spell, such as sun water for masculinity, or rose water for beauty, etc

A few herbs with your corresponding intent. I won't list the herbs I used as it depends on your character!

Optional: quotes from the character or anything you can act out to get into that mindset, music that reminds you of them, sigils, and any other objects you feel could help the spell.

On the picture(s), write out the traits in them you desire in yourself, if that is the case. Also draw any sigils you wish. (You can use a pencil and erase what you wrote later if you wish!)

Place the accessory/object you wish to charm either on the picture or beside it. Wear any clothes/etc that make you feel like the character. As you put them on, focus on your intent of the spell. Mix the herbs into the water. If you want, stir them while focusing on your intent, or perhaps watch scenes from their source, or listen to music that reminds you of them, whatever you want!

I created this spell to help me feel connected to the ocean and my orca kintype, but it could be used for other things if you wish. I keep mine on a necklace. For some reason I can’t show the picture of the one I made for myself, but I made a tiny orca out of cardstock, glue, and paint. It’s not great but it looks decent from certain angles inside the bottle, lol.

Onto the ingredients!

-a small bottle to wear or carry around

-any type of sand

-salt, preferably sea salt

-water

-clear glue

optional: food coloring or a bit of paint to color the water blueish, glitter (because the ocean looks glittery in the sunlight!), small objects to put inside as well, I used a tiny orca and some tiny pieces of sea glass

If you want, cleanse the bottle first. Then use the clear glue at the very bottom, and pack sand in. The glue is to help keep the sand at the bottom, so if it gets turned upside down it won’t get all messed up (unless you’re okay with that of course!) Add in some salt with the sand, as much as you want.

In a separate container I mixed up some paint (I just barely got some blue on the paint brush and mixed it in), salt, and glitter if you’re using that. Then add that to your bottle, and whatever else you feel like putting in.

A glamour spell to make you look and feel cuter, like a puppy! (Can be adapted to be another specific cute animal, like a kitten, or more general.)

Items needed:

Fake fur/fluff (you're trying to be cute an innocent; fur from a dead animal doesn't suit this spell imo but if that's what you really want then go ahead)

Heckin cute pup pics, can be real photos, drawings, or digital ones. As cute as possible!

Any cute accessory you want to wear around

Flowers you like/that represent beauty/cuteness/whatever you desire

Moon or rose water is preferred, but any water will do! Moon for beauty, rose for sweetness and love

An acorn (represents beauty and strength, but can be associated with youth because it's a seed)

A bowl

A bit of sugar (sweetness), dandelion seeds (innocence), orange (beauty and happiness), and any other herbs you want, as well as anything you like the smell of

Two separate containers (or just one if you don't want perfume!) one for storing all the stuff that has the spell energy inside, and one for perfume/whatever you want to call it

A coffee filter

Optional: any makeup/costume to wear during the spell that makes you feel cute to help create the perfect atmosphere for the spell, and any glitter/paint/etc to put in the spell energy jar

When you're ready to do the spell, start by setting up a lil circle of purity and cuteness with all your flowers and puppy pictures, gather your ingredients and sit with them inside the circle.

Put all your herbs and stuff in your bowl of water, use the coffee filter/bag so the water absorbs the energy from the herbs but doesn't get nasty! Then take your acorn, imagining it's you, and put the fake fur inside or wrap it around the acorn, imagining you absorbing the cute fluffiness. If you want, you can even imagine yourself turning into a puppy!

Take your accessory and hold it with the acorn. Rub a bit of the magic water on it (if it's not water proof then just rub it on the acorn!) Meditate if you want and let the energy flow into your accessory, so that when you wear it you'll carry that energy with you.

When you're done, store the water in one container, then if you want perfume too, mix up the good smelling stuff in another container, but be sure to store them both together, and to use everything you used in the perfume one in the other one as well!

I'm taking spell requests now! I feel like this blog isn't active enough and I have like, so much creativity. I can do just about any spell, except for stuff that goes against consent, like making someone specific fall for you. I'd most appreciate kin related requests because that is the theme of this blog!
