On the forum on Otherkin.com, there’s a discussion about Doreen Virtue’s books: Earth Angels, and its sequel, Realms of the Earth Angels. The books in question describe persons who are sort of like otherkin, but neither they nor Virtue indicate that they’re aware that the otherkin subculture exists. (In my opinion, I’d call Earth Angels a parallel evolution of ideas, since it has similar concepts, but doesn’t seem to be a knowing re-interpretation of “otherkin.”) It’s interesting to see how otherkin respond to the Earth Angel books. In the forum thread, some of the otherkin talking about the books say they’ve read them, and others say they’re just judging by how it sounds from the reviews. The thread is two pages long, and spans from May 2009 to December 2009. Read the conversation here.
