Introductory Post.....(please pardon our dust)

[aureantes]

Seeing as it's impossible-by-policy to import communities from LiveJournal, this is going to be a post-by-post reposting -- not to mention that a couple of the original articles on Anderen FAQ are going to have to be omitted (personal views/musings) and/or resummarized (information) because A., they weren't written by me and B., the author's no longer in my continuing circle of contacts. Of course they'll stay on the original site because they were submitted for it, but I don't think that it's accurate to give the impression that people are directly involved in a new group or project when they're not, and some of the informational/theoretical material on the site is now in need of revision and further details anyhow.

That said, feel free to check out what has been posted (and commented) previously there, in the interim while this chronically-frazzled facilitator sets to work.

Other associated groups/networks:

The Origen Consortium (Dreamwidth portal)

Anderen Vereinigte 

Arthurian Research Society 

I have a policy of no blind admissions to all my serious groups/projects, so please be prepared to say something coherent and relevant about yourself if you choose to apply for membership.

Hello :) I'm new to this Dreamwidth site as well, but I've been on Live Journal for a number of years (siabha_maellyn; I've imported the majority of my entries over here, posting most of them as public). I was browsing around for places of interest on here, and came across this community. I am very interested in discussions and articles about paranormal activity, "psychic" ability, and the otherkin phenomena. I have been exploring these concepts for quite a few years, due to quite a few unexplainable occurances, sensations, and encounters I have had over my lifetime. I am not certain I feel comfortable being "scrutinized" by outside observers at this point, but I find it very beneficial to read and observe as many different perspectives as possible, examining multiple angles and explanations, and hopefully coming to solid conclusions of my own (at least as solid as such explorations would lend themselves to be).

[Sorry for delay in response -- been having a hectic time offline]

I completely understand your wariness -- of course it's not exactly prudent to go about spilling all of one's paranormal beans online, even pseudonymously, as there are a good many skeptical hecklers out there -- as well as the derisive/flakily self-aggrandizing "researchers" out there who're fond of collecting others' data without giving them due respect. I wouldn't expect anyone to share their personal details on here just as a matter of course -- it's more of an introductory annex to present things that come out of the private groups or from individual contributors, and to have some feedback of the "makes sense/doesn't make sense" kind from people who may or may not be involved in the various "communities" already...kind of an intellectual sampler, if you will.

Anderen Vereinigte and the Origen Consortium are more the 'in-the-know' free-for-all, and of course you're welcome to join either/both. In the meantime, I think I had better see about moving some entries before the weekend's out.
