Old thread, but still matters. Personally i always tell someone when being told inappropriate things even though ive told them to stop (luckily it’s only been other minors so far. why did i just say luckily-)

I was unaware there was such a thing. Nice to know.
Though I don't know what I'd even do on such a day.

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

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. Smile

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

Take care.

LP,
Dusty


  Prompts for therian journals!
Posted in: Introduction to Therianthropy Posted by: Beanz - 2023-10-22 18:41

Some of these are journaling prompts and others types of logs to make or lists and other things

Things to log in a therian journal.
Okay so this is what I mean by a log;
Make two or more columns, depending on what you’re logging, at the top of each column add a subject such as date or something.
On my meditation log, I have three columns. One for date, one for which page I talk more about the experience (“entry #”) and one for type of meditation used (walking, laying, sitting.)

shifts
Log what kinds of shifts you get frequently, this can be all shifts put into one log, or a separate log for each of the types of shifts you get most.
Column suggestion: date| type of shift| location| entry#
•meditation log
•*Quadrobics log* (optional and only if you do them)

Things to list in a therian journal

•animals and habitats to research
•types of shifts you get frequently
•books and documentaries to watch and read
•habitats you feel connected with/ make you feel shifty
•places and people you feel safe to shift around and in
•ways that work for you to shift
•possible the theriotypes/kin types based on research and shifts
•your shifting triggers
•people and places you never/don’t want to shift around
•favourite shift places to shift
•least favourite places to shift
•behaviours to look into
•animal and habitat research questions
Other lists that are more optional/ less needed
•gear you want
•therian based stuff to do
•therian crafts to make
•gear you want to make yourself

Journaling prompts
•what your shifts feel like
•things you’ve done while shifting others find “weird” Orr have commented on
•how you feel/felt when you became a therian
•random facts and things people should know about therianthropy, but don’t know.
•if you meditate, what did you last meditation feel like
•you least favourite or favourite shift experiences
•what would you do if you met another therian irl
•how do shifts affect every day life
•daily life journal entry’s

Other things to write/draw
•draw your theriotype/kin type
•Draw a territory map (it could be in the woods, or even just your house/room/yard)
•write about your awakening if you had one
•jot down recent thoughts about therianthropy
•write what would happen if you could talk to animalss and could have the opportunity to meet your theriotype/kintype
•write about therian theory’s you have
•write about how you found your theriotype type (in sentences or maybe make a form of chart to show it?)
•reviews of the week
•review the month
•look back on your childhood memories and see if anything hinted to your therianthropy.

Please keep in mind that all of these are technically optional and are just prompts I’ve made.
I made them for myself but I thought it’d be useful for other people like me who sometimes can’t think of what to write or how to write it

•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.••.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.
I myself needed some prompts for writing in my journal so I wrote my own prompts Big Grin

Hope this helped those who probably didn’t need this but found it anyway lmao XD


  RE: Opinions on Quadrobics?
Posted in: Introduction to Therianthropy Posted by: cryinqpois0n - 2023-10-21 17:27

It's a good way to express your theriotype, and it's very good excercise for your body, but one negative that I would say about doing quadrobics is that it can also hurt your body, because human bodies aren't meant to walk/run on all fours. I'm not a therian myself, so I don't really know what it's like; I'm just animal-hearted. Tongue

A big misconception is that quadrobics is only linked to therians. Quadrobics isn't just for therians. For example, Collin McClure is the fastest person on all fours. But he isn't a therian, he just does quads for sport. Anybody can do quads without being a therian. ^_^

Eh. It isn't all that cringe. Some people make a true art of it. Just look at wildnettle_115. Their masks, and form are absolutely stunning. There are some truly talented people that do this.
