This blog is about my pursuit of myself and my experiences I’ve had during this journey. A therian is somebody who has a deep connection with an animal. I am a wolf. I’ve known I was a wolf since 2006. I was born in 1991. I hope by sharing my experiences, I can help others know who and what we are. I appreciate any feedback and questions.
Also to clarify a couple of things. I do sometimes refer to myself as a Therian in this blog, though I don’t see myself as a therian. I consider myself a shifter personally. Therian is the closest term I can use for others to understand. Also, these are my personal experiences and are not necessarily common happenings.

Therianthropy is the state of being an animal mentally or spiritually, and have a human form. Therians identify, and feel they are animals. Most identify as one, but can be multiple. This doesn’t mean at all that they are not human. The animal that one identifies with is called a Theriotype.
Shifting
Therians experience certain events called Shifts. Probably the most common type is called a mental shift. This is where their perception changes to that of their theriotype. Examples for a wolf would be growling, sniffing, howling, ect. essentially acting in ways of their theriotype. The severity of the shift can vary greatly as well from subtle urges, to not so subtle.
Phantom shifting is another common type. Essentially it’s feeling “phantom limbs” or certain parts of your theriotype such as ears, snout, fangs, tail, ect. A good comparison I’ve heard is when a person has a limb amputated and feels like it is still there. Some feel it to the point where they may feel discomfort when their “tail” is stepped on or hit.
Physical shifting is the most controversial. Most don’t believe in it, and there is constant debate about it. Physical shifting is just as the name says, part, or all of one’s body changes into that of their animal. As of now, the established therian community throws this possibility out the window. Because of this reason, I no longer remotely consider myself a therian.
Dream shifting is fairly self explanatory as well. This would be shifting into one’s theriotype during a dream. This is probably one of the most common types of shifting next to mental shifting.

My Definition of a therian
To me, this means having a deep spiritual connection with the wolf. To the point where I feel I am one. This includes mental shifts, physical shifts, and other experiences. It doesn’t mean I’m someone or something completely different. I am still me. At this time, I cannot back up any physical shifts (nor will I claim to), but there are a few instances that I may speak about that are debatable.
Most therians don’t necessarily believe in Physical shifting. Personally, I strongly do. It’s where many others and I differ in this belief. Also, I come from a strong catholic background, but am open to many other ideas. Therianthropy varies from each person due to their beliefs and experiences. This tends to make it hard for some therians to relate, but it also helps in figuring out how it works.
Frequent Questions
You crazy?
Yes, but not in the way you might think. I’m not a harm to myself nor anyone else and can pass for “normal” in public if that’s what you mean.
Twilight….?
NO
Are you a werewolf?
So far, my conclusion is no. Shifter would be a much more accurate description. Myths are based off of something. I’m still learning about all this and how it works. I’ll get back to you on that when I figure out the details.
I love your videos! (are you solwolf from youtube)?
Sorry, but we are two different people. We are not the same person. I finally looked him up and I would definitely say there are similarities in the way we talk sometimes, and looks like we would have a lot in common. Seems like a nice guy to be mistaken for.

Seems like your comment section works, hun ^^
To my brother who is out and to whom I’m willing to help, the offer still stands. Things are going well, but I may be taking a trip back home at the end of may. So let me know asap when I can follow through. Everything is going well. If we can chat again, I’ve got some fun news for you. Hope to see you soon.
Wow, it looks great :). Super informative and I love the set up. So have you had any, what you would consider, physical shifts?
There are two instances where I may have, but I didn’t see myself. BB says he may have seen my teeth shift once, but we were in a garage, so lighting may have been the cause of bad lighting which may have resulted in him seeing something that may not have been there.

O ok, understood. I’ve had a couple shifts myself, I’ve only felt them and the one my bf psi vamp saw, and the lighting was pretty good…
Looks very interesting, I will be following this as a fellow wolf :). I am also a Catholic who believed in p-shifting :).
Glad to see someone out there with similar background. I’d love to chat about things if you’re interested 🙂
Yes, I would love to sometime. 🙂
So. . We have the same perspective.
I never thought I was the only one who felt like a wolf on the inside to the point where they feel like a wolf in a human body, but now I know what it means to be that.
I do however believe exactly what you do; how it would be possible to shift from human to wolf physically and vice versa. The problem arises about doing it to prove that such a phenomena exist; I have no doubt in my mind that it does though.
It’s always nice to meet others that share the same pain, especially when I just discovered what I am a week or two ago.
What had happen was I was just getting out of my christian camp when suddenly someone and I got into an interesting conversation where he revealed to me a completely different society living in this world. This involves the werewolves, the vampires, and all that jazz. He himself could do certain things that I can understand to be fact. I took his word for what he said because I know all things are possible, and because he provides more than enough evidence that he was legitly talking about what I should had already knew, but didn’t. I later discovered that I am a wolf spirit on the trip home when my third eye was at it’s widest. This amazed me. . and from now on I am trying to shift physically so that I may have the balance of being a human and a wolf.
If I could, I would shift during the night to where the shadows are more friendly to me, and stay human during the day. Catch my drift? I don’t think people take too kindly to wolves out in broad day light, but they can’t complain about what they can’t see ;).
Yea. All of this is certainly a whole new world in itself, not to mention the dozens of ways each person views this. It’s fairly rare to come across somebody who has similar views. I’d honestly love to chat about it sometime if you would like. Maybe exchange emails, skype, or another form of IM. It’s been a while since I’ve spoken to someone fairly new about all of this.
It’s really great to see information but also dream entries that gives a more personal view =) Your dreams are quite similar to my wolf-friend Gerwulf. I just stumbled on your page by chance and it’s inspired me and 3 others to write on a page to share our experiences as well. Thank you for giving us that push!
I’m glad I can help. I’d be interested to hear about your friend’s dreams as well 🙂
Hello Sol I would enjoy discussing all you know , I am like you or very similar . Let me know of anyway to contact you ,
Best way is probably through email for now. You can email me at sol_grim@hotmail.com
Hey Solwolf! I’d just like to say that I love what you are doing for the community and that you are an absolutely wonderful person! I have a mini-crush on you from watching you play LoL on youtube (doesn’t help that you are so attractive either, fuck me right?) and i just have to say that there isn’t anything exciting behind this message except for just saying that you are doing something right. 🙂 I’d love to become friends with you and chat with you sometime! American guys always did have a place in my heart! 😉 Like am I a creep or what? Probably lol.

Thanks for the comment. Also, I don’t play LoL, so are you talking about another game I play?
Then it’s probably not you, but there is a rather known youtuber also named Solwolf playing LoL.
I apologize beforehead for my possibly bad english, I’m not a native speaker. I’ve recently (1 hour ago or so) found your blog about your spiritual life. Maybe it’s in there, but I haven’t found it yet so I have two questions for you:
1. How did you find out that you were a Therian (or something close)?
2. How did you find out which one it was?
Because I read one or two things in this blog I seem to have a resemblence to and it kind of confuses me, because you seem so clear about being a wolf.
What led me to initially researching everything was just sheer curiosity. The more I looked into it the more I found I could relate to it. From there I was uncertain but began looking into it more. It took a few years until I was absolutely certain, but I continued to identify as a wolf and do some soul searching and research on forums and various sites. I had to (and will continue to) question myself to make sure I know it. There are a few stories of random events and people acknowledging what I am and even a little girl. Also there are some behavioral things I do that are quite wolf-like; some I have had even before I realized what I was. I still allow doubts to happen in order tk strengthen my belief about what I am. If the day comes where one day I find I am wrong, at least I will have made sure and will continue to figure things out from there.
Also im not too sure what you’re confused about. Would you mind explaining a little more?
Because of the shifting. I feel the need to “bite” the people I really like and sometimes have the feeling that my mouth is too small for my teeth, even though it isnt. These and some other very few very small points in my behaviour seem fitting for what you described as shifting, but I didnt think of it that way and if I do I can’t think of an animal that fits specifically enough.
Very true. Its good to hear you’re not jumping to conclusions and are keeping an open mind about it. That is difficult to say what it could be. Do you have any strong connections with any kind of animal that you know of?
Actually if I’d have to shout it it would be dogs, bears and donkeys (don’t ask why donkeys, I dont know myself). I don’t know much about the behaviour of the last ones but the biting would definitely fit with young dogs. But I don’t want to jump to conclusions here.
Of course not. But you have an open mind and a start. You have something to work with and look into 🙂
Well thank you for your time.^^ I’ll see what I can make of this.
Anytime. You can always email me I if you have anymore questions. I can also ask a few other therian friends if you would like to speak with someone else.
I don’t know if that would help. What if I just imagine it? What if that’s not really a specific animal and just animal like? Talking to people who know of this for themselves would make me feel a little behind. But thanks for the offer I’ll think of it and contact you here. My e-mail service tells me that your mail-address doesn’t exist. Checked the spelling and all. Doesn’t work.
Sol_grim@hotmail.com
web.de says it doesnt exist.
May be because of the different countries. I’ve had that email for years. Even got some junk mail today haha.
Sent you a test-mail to see if it works.
Success
I see.^^
