I didnt get to do much either. I went home after school (where I hung out with my therian friends ofc) and i did some quads and sat up in a tree and did some vocals. (only when my parents werent around bc they DO NOT support... and if they did i would have been able to do so much more :C ) Nothin much, but it was still fun and I enjoyed the time I did have to celebrate before my parents got home. <3

Thank you! I haven't been able to do much other than appreciate this community as well as my own therianthropy

:0 It is therianthropy day! Happy therianthropy day everyone!!!

I can’t do much, but this morning when I woke up and remembered “hey, it’s therianthropy day!” I did some vocals for myself. I never really get to express my therianthropy, so that was a nice little thing for myslef. Happy therianthropy day!

Hey guys,

Happy therianthropy day!

As is our historic custom, therianthropy day is celebrated on the first full moon in November, which is today on the 27th .

To quote @BearX who posted this back in 2017:

I was unable to attend it, although I did make the two that followed. I was a broke college student and had no transportation at the time. It was fun reading the post-howl reports on the newsgroup, though.

I always felt it was a good time to have an official celebration of therianthropy, since the AHWW newsgroup itself was created in November, 1992. Very momentous for therians, November is.

It was first proposed as a sort of holiday in March of 1996, in this thread on AHWW, should you want to investigate the history. Ultimately, AHWW decided to use it, and it stuck. It went through a few iterations of names, "International Werewolf Day", and then the less species-specific "Awereness Day" (since were is the older term for therian), and after the term therianthropy caught on, "Therianthropy Day".

So, happy "Therianthropy Day". Hope it's a good one.

We never quite figured out what we were going to do for Therianthropy Day. Maybe bake a cake. Maybe be proud and celebrate your therianthropy online by bragging about your animal traits. Maybe just chill out and have that one day in a year when you let your animal side out a bit more than usual. There are no rules on what must be done for therianthropy day.

If nothing else, it's a day to be true to ourselves and remember what all this is all about.

Take care.

Thats really interesting!

Personally it's really hard for me to tell why i feel what i feel, but i don't think i had a past life. I have two main theories.

1. It's just how i was born. for no reason. I was just born with part of an animal in me. I experience animalistic urges and feelings that happen to match up with an animal.

2. As a child i played so many games as animals, and i grew up around pets, that eventually it just became a part of me. other things came into play like how it made me feel safe and happy, but thats the gist.

I have other small parts of theories but nothing big. I don't really personally believe my therianthropy was really caused by anything, its just how i am.

I'm not. I may have been a wolf in a previous incarnation (figurately speaking), and then my love and life was taken from me. I was rendered a disembodied spirit existing in torment. Over decades I came to realize I have to inhabit the body to "reincarnate." The body is a neural network attached to a bunch of smart machinery. Flesh and blood. I don't like it but I can live with it.

What makes me believe that I'm therian?
The predisposition of consciousness to shifts, sometimes dog behavior, admiration for dogs and their bodies...
In fact, although I know that my therianthropy is psychological, I cannot give an answer why I have it. Until the age of 18, I thought that I was a man; after the awakening, I cannot consider myself that way. If earlier I doubted whether I was therian, now I understand that I am one. It's a part of me and it won't leave me.
It can be suppressed, it can be denied, but it is unlikely to leave us. Because it is part of each of us. And I don't know how or why she came into my life. But I am proud that I got a new path for development, a new meaning and a new impetus. A new plane where I want to evolve.

i know im a therian because ive been a dog since i was young. a young kid hiding in the corner like a scared animal, running outside at night, and just being "abnormal" in general. its definitely partly to do with my trauma and schizophrenia, and i just feel the animal inside me, being me. i am a dog, i just am.... idk if this is just the ramblings of a mad man XD

What do you mean, humanoids?

I mean those who are sapient, don't have to be humanoid. Just those who don't act wild or anything, that would apply to therians.

Sorry if I don't make sense. But that's what I believe.
