he's divine

i think it’s just about knowing, the same way you just know what your sexuality is. even if it takes time, you eventually figure it out, and even though it’s something internal and that there is no Test or Diagnoses for, you just know it to be true. i was hesitant to label myself as angelkin at first, since i didn’t have any memories or dreams like i’d seen so many people talk about, but everything i’d read about angelkin felt so comforting that i knew it was more than just “i like this”

you said there’s a lot of things that have happened and that are happening, and i would suggest listening to those things. there are so many things that i’ve experienced that i thought were coincidence, but when i look back now, i know that it was just that side of me, unrealized.

honestly, i didn’t know how i’d Know which name was mine at first, too. i’d seen so many people who knew their name, and their appearance, and had so many memories and dreams of their previous life, so i was unsure if i was actually angelkin for a while since i didn’t have what they did. but i saw someone that recommended reading through lists of names, so i started there too. some of them were just lists of names by themselves and others were names and what that angel was in charge of/associated with. i like the latter better, personally!

i don’t know how others figured out their name, but for me, i physically felt it, just like i felt my wings for the first time. when i read a few names, i got a shiver all down my spine, but none of those felt like me, just like familiar faces. but then i got to theliel, and the chills just kept coming and i knew that was something more than familiar. so i looked it up and everyhing i read just fit who i am today. so i knew without a doubt that that was me

thank you !! and if you’re divinekin, you’re just someone that kins a divine being ! i don’t know how much you already know about kinning in general so i’ll try to explain that too in a way that makes sense, and i hope it helps !

divine beings are commonly thought of as angels, demons and deities/gods, but i’ve also seen people count prophets, oracles and fae as divine. also, divine beings don’t have to belong to one certain religion (ie christian angels). some people may be a shard, which is basically just a piece of a divine being

first of all, i’m sorry for the late response—i was struggling on how to answer this as i’m not sure i (or anyone, really) is qualified to ask what i think you’re asking.

i may be interpreting your question wrong, but to me it sounds like you’re trying to force yourself to be something that you’re not. and i don’t mean this in a gatekeeping sort of way, but to me, kinning isn’t something you can force. to me, it’s something you either are or aren’t. i showed my friend (who is also an angel) this and they said that while they take angelkin more seriously than their other kins, that you should do what makes you happy.

hello angel and thank you for your kind words ! this got kind of long, but i hope it'll be a worthwhile read ♡

i talked about it a little bit here, but it was probably a two years long journey. someone i was dating at the time told me they were angelkin—which i thought was funny, because my petname of choice before they told me was angel because of how..gentle and warm and light they are. i didn’t know much about kinning at the time, but after they told me, i started looking it up and following angelkin blogs so i’d know more about it and be closer to them. for a long time after that i’d show them all of my favorite posts, to the point that they and many of my other friends started to ask me if i was angelkin too.
