ok what types of weres r theres i know the answer would be long and maybe know 1 knows on this site how many type of weres there r

We've never stopped needing Alpha.

I would suggest that there are as many types of were as there are animal spirits to bond with.

Remeber the were skunk?........

Within that I would further suggest the following types

1. Those weres who are separate from their animal spirit whilst being in close communication.
2. Those weres who are indistinguishable from their animal spirit ie a single being who has characteristics of both human and animal with one or the other having precedence at any particular time
3. Those who m shitft
4. Those who p shift
5. Any combination of the above

THis is written from the point of view of an observer who is not, themselves a were and is open to modification from those who know far more about the subject than I do.

It is possible to change from Chakira's type 1 were (pronounced wear like wearing clothes) to the type 2.
This usually happens as you become more comfortable with your were animal
equally some people start out as type 2 or stay as a type 1.

some useful search terms are:
Therian
therianthrope
lycanthrope
and Otherkin were

M shift is mental shift (a change from human inside to were animal)
P shift is physical shift or shape shift (physically changing shape to become the animal)

There are people who have several different animal spirits that they communicate with.
This doesn't neccessarily make you a Were as these are more often than not totem or guide animals (treat them as you would a very close friend)
Lots of people both Were and not have totem animals.

Just in case you are wondering I am a type 2.

I'm a fully separate type from that list. I am both of my sides, but they coexist separately. I can think two thoughts, do two things. They both do things differently, but work together. I am both ^-^

Oh don't sound so worried, you are included on the list WereRaven, you are only a combination of type 1 and type 2. Together but also seperate. That makes you simply number 5 on Chakira's list...........
5. Any combination of the above

I would hate that, never knowing exactly who has the last word in anything and never really being able to be sure exactly who I am at any given time.

But then I am the type of person who always wants the last word. If I was like you I'd be so busy arguing with myself I'd never get anything done. LOL

Well the best way to describe the interaction between me (us?) is that both of them are me, but they both have different thought processes. When one wants food more than fun, the other may want the opposite. there can't really be an argument, because they're both me, not separately speaking entities. It simply goes that whichever mind has the strongest will or need to do something rules the action at the moment. Works quite well, and I can multitask like nobody else

No, I am not a were Wolfy...it was a joke. Just to let everyone know, as this is in the information section I have and will continue to delete anything that does not add to the topic for any new people who are coming here. Please do not take offence if I delete your post, it is not that I am not interesting and they don't make me smile but I want to keep this section 'pure'.

I am just an "animal" I mental shift often, in times of great fever I can physical slightly, but I have a bear spirit that follows me and at times merges with me. When I mental and physical shift i do not turn into a wolf or bear but take on animal like characteristics, strength, hightened senses, sometimes claws and teeth. I think my kind got the name "Werewolf" because when we, or I, change we, or I, take on wolf like properties and features. But I am still learning and do not have full control of my Were side and maybe I just have never had a full physical shift, I also do not know any other Weres so I am speaking for myself. I do know I am not human, but some sort of animal, hopefully one of these does I can make a full shift (and one that last more than a minute or so) and see what I really am.

It has been suggested more than once here that if you are able to travel to the astral plane you appear there as you truly are and you can therefore see for yourself do to speak.

Have you ever tried that My Shadow. Has anyone else had experience of this as a method of discovery

My experience of this way of discovery is that you do need to have some idea of what you are in the first place otherwise you can simply appear human or may not recognise what you see at all.
Also if you have along your path been another type of being that that can show through too.
Just knowing that you feel you are a were/therian should help but may not be 100% accurate first try.
I started out as a child thinking I was an eagle then moved on to Wolf both of which felt right (although the Eagle felt "more right") then the Dragon which although not exactly right was the next logical step on the road to finally finding the Phoenix.
Most of this was through using Mirrors (or pools) in the astral although the firebird is so big and mobile that just looking was pretty much enough.
I am now able to mentally shift at will between all of the above, except the Dragon, but when I relax I settle naturally back into the phoenix.
