Welcome to kitsuhana.org, the digital home of Clan Trypnotk.

« What Kitsuhana IS (or the Mission Statement) »

The primary purpose of this site is to support a otherkin community with a focus on foxes and kitsune and to assist in spiritual matters of said community which include:

1. Spiritual guidance to others as our knowledge fits,
2. Spiritual healing according to our abilities,
3. Teaching the things we know to others,
4. Giving aid and comfort to the Awakened and the Searching,
5. Maintaining a repository of information related to such spiritual matters.

Why is this place called Kitsuhana? The first part, Kitsu, is obvious, being Japanese for 'fox'. The second part, Uhana, is derived from Hawaiian for 'family'. In short it means 'fox family' and indicative of our goals for this community. As a second illiteration, kitsu-hana in Japanese means fox-flowers, and it is my sincerest hope that foxes are able to grow in self-awareness in this community.

The above being said, this site welcomes and serves kin of all types, such as Therians, Vampires, Dragons, Faerie, Phoenixes, and, well basically, any individual who is Awakened or seeking a path to increased knowledge about kitsune, kin and the world outside our physical grasp.

Kitsuhana is .. a garden for ideology to grow in, ideology for kitsune, and anything relevant to kitsune, such as magic, otherkin, and energy work, among other things. It is a place to discuss all these things and more, to challenge what we know and what we learn, to undig the truth with our own paws. And when we figure out some of these truths, together, we will have a place to hold up these truths and to say to the world, "this, is Kitsune" .. so that people will know what we are... so that *we* will know what we are.

To this end I (Alynna Trypnotk) provide a number of services to the community to facilitate these things:

1. The Kitsuhana forums
2. A number of IRC channels on a few different networks (NoodleNinja and Furnet primarily)
3. A wiki for writing and sharing documents and articles about spiritual and otherkin matters
4. A sim on Second Life where we may gather
5. A number of other minor services like a blog, and more things as I find they are needed.

All of these things can be found just beyond this introduction page.

« What Kitsuhana IS NOT... »

• This is NOT a place of roleplay. We recognize that many kin have a roleplaying life which is OK of course. However there are many other places for that, and this is not one of those places.
  
• NOTE: That this IS permitted in specific channels on our IRC network created for the purpose. (We are part of the NoodleNinja network)
• If you are looking for a roleplaying forum for kitsune, please check Kitsune Paradise which is loosely affiliated with us.
• This being said, this is a place primarily for the serious discussion of otherkin topics, and it should be assumed that the people in this community are not roleplaying.
• This is not a place for posers. If you believe yourself to be a kitsune, or other kind of therian or otherkin, then do proceed, but do be prepared to explain to the community WHY you believe it.
• The greatest guideline that I can give you here is to be truthful and honest always. There is no shame to be had in being whatever you are, including human. You will be welcome here as long as you are as honest as you can be with what you know about yourself.
• If you have come here to pretend you are kitsune or some other form of kin but are not, you will find your life difficult here, and short.
