520 |a Cyberspace offers religious practitioners, especially those who are interested in esoteric expressions of belief, a unique environment where global connections can be made instantaneously, knitting together members of the occultic milieu with each other in a way which was unthinkable in the recent past. Followers of minority spiritualties can locate fellow believers and form effective networks while drawing on what was once stigmatised knowledge. One such group consists of those who call themselves the Otherkin. Otherkin have redefined common understandings of what it means to be human and identify themselves as essentially non-human along a loosely defined spectrum. This study examines self-understanding within the Otherkin and explores their own cyberspace to gain an insight into their spiritual practice, which is usually based on the fantasy genres of literature and film.
