#horte

For definitions on the terms used within my personal practice, please visit my Dictionary on the side menu! And I am not tagging this otherkin for personal reasons!

Gnyrn Flescen, or otherkin (pl), are individuals who believe, for various reasons, that they are non-human in spirit. It can be a spiritual belief centered around reincarnation (and I believe this is the most common situation) or because of a traumatic incident. Whatever the reason that the belief is held, a Gnyrn Flesc believes that their soul, their Feorh, is not human in origin.

In addition to the above, having astral responsibilities to any species living in the astral, does not make someone Gnyrn Flesc. If it were so, then all Gnyrn Flesc would be able to astral travel and that is not the case. I and many other Gnyrn Flescen, do not travel astrally at all.

Another point to make is that if you have astral based limbs that are non-human, that also doesn't mean that you are a Gnyrn Flesc. There are plenty of individuals who have "astral forms" different to their mundane forms who do not identify as Gnyrn Flesc at all. While having astral based limbs can be an indicator of being Gnyrn Flesc, it is not the deciding factor. Many Gnyrn Flescen, including myself, didn't discover other astral based limbs until "awakening" and discovering our Horte. Before deciding that you are a Gnyrn Flesc, do some soul searching and ask yourself if you /feel/ like you are meant to be human or another creature.

*As a side note to the above, if you believe you can physically feel the presence of astral based limbs, first question if it's a matter of your posture. A lot of people claim to physically feel the presence of wings, but as someone from a family with a history of back problems, I do suggest that you look into the mundane answers first. I have wings, but I also have an aching back due to being hunched over the computer, a book, or because of car accidents in my past. Don't shrug the pain in your back off so easily when there could be something serious causing it.*

Within my practice, it is believed that with the non-human Feorh, comes a "hidden heart" or Horte, which connects the Gnyrn Flesc to their "true" species. This means that instead of saying [species]kin, within my practice [species]Horte is substituted because you have the "hidden spiritual heart" of that species. So instead of calling myself dragonkin, I would call myself DracaHorte or DragonHorte. The Horte is a hidden spiritual heart that Gnyrn Flesc posses (just like a physical heart belongs to your living Flesc, or flesh), and it does not influence the development as a human (unless you "obsess" over your status as Gnyrn Flesc and reject your human development - at which point you can endanger others or yourself). The most that being Gnyrn Flesc can do to development as a human, is a slight lack of understanding how and why certain behaviors exist within humanity and comprehension of social cues might be slightly affected. It's nothing major and does not interfere with socialization overall.

It is my goal to include any and all events (music, wine, art, etc..) happening throughout the week/end in Walla Walla, Waitsburg, Dayton, Milton-Freewater.  I might venture a bit out of this area when our local bands/artists are performing elsewhere. 

If I'm missing an event or if there is a typo or if I'm listing your event but you don't really want me to, please by all means let me know.  Tuesday, April 10th Cinema at The Cellars Presents "Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" @Sapolil Cellars 7:00pm No Cover http://tinyurl.com/3gztmxl

Up and coming Country Artist Kate Turner will be playing at walla faces 7-9pm; NO COVER. Kate grew up in Burbank and is currently recording her debut album. A passion for Country Western singing and song writing sent Kate across the country to Nashville hoping to find her place in the music industry. “It was the first time I was surrounded by music in that way. Music on every corner, a million artists just like me, all working towards the same thing. I realized I was ready to really do this. I am a good vocalist, I do write good music, and I can hold my own with anyone else in Nashville. And instead of staying in the dog fight over there I decided to come back home, surround myself with support and start from the ground up, finish a sold EP, build a band and start creating a local fan base.” Backed by some of the best musicians in the Northwest, Kate is already grabbing the attention of fans all over the west coast with her fresh and original country music. With a new awareness came a local country hit, written after a broken engagement. "Eventually it just kind of fell apart, and so I wrote that song 'Baby No'", explained Turner. “Baby No”, has taken off on iTunes and Facebook. Kate has been building her fan base rapidly and likes to call her fans, “Dedi-Kates" as they follow her success. . Mike Wagoner Live @Sapolil Cellars 6:00-8:00pm No Cover http://tinyurl.com/3gztmxl
