nimdreamsI think I might be a dog spirit instead of a fox spirit and have a dog soul instead of a fox soul. This actually makes a lot of sense. Why I never quite connected to foxes, why I felt like I still had dog behavior as a fox, why I have therianthropic experiences for dogs and not foxes, why I don't really am fox though I often look like one.
I will need some time to think about this, figure out what this means to me and what I am like as a dog spirit instead of a fox spirit. I still have all the same abilities, intangibility, healing with light, power over the weather and elements, shapeshifting. I probably am shapeshifted as a fox most, which is why I believed that to be my true form. I don't expect that to change for a while to come, I am comfortable as a white red fox.
I don't know if I am a particular breed or look a certain way as my true form, for now I feel like multiple breeds fit me and as a dog spirit shapeshifter it comes easy to shift between these breeds. I am dog in any form. The breeds that currently stand out to me are Chinese Crested, Cocker Spaniel, Shiba Inu and Golden Retriever.
I still feel the same connection to dreams and in extension the stars and moon. I am not sure what this connection is, and just leave it at that for now. I still feel like an arcane canine, an old dog soul, connected to the wild before and the domestication now. Linked with all the wild canids. Part of the hunt, part of the howl and the yipping on the winds. But also part of the hearth and home. A guardian spirit, a protector. Similarities with the eidolons, as a powerful entity lending its abilities to a bound summoner.
Really, a lot of my identity from the past years remains the same, it is like that divine identity, fox spirit and dog therian are all mushed together into one identity. I have tried identifying as them separately as polykin, but it just doesn't feel right and didn't work out for me. Let's see how this does.
