How does one figure out their therio/otherkin type?

[Laila]

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to figure this out lately because I'm getting so many mixed messages.
I feel feathery wings, cat-like ears, fangs, and possibly horns. I also have a strong feeling I am spacekin.
If anyone could help me out, it would be grearly appreciated. If there aren't enough details, I can deifinitely give out more.

I wouldn't consider myself a therian but from what I have read, feeling multiple things could mean that you have multiple kins.

How one determines their other/theriotype is different from person to person, but a lot of therians and otherkin use meditation for that. A lot of people also keep a diary or a log of how they felt and what they did, then compare them to the real-life animals or mythical creature to see what comes the closest to what they feel. For me, I just knew it. I was wondering what animal I would be if I was one, then 'snow leopard' popped up in my head somehow and it just clicked. Others find out by trying - try out one animal, see how it feels and adjust their next attempt based on what they felt. If someone tried out a wolf for example, and it felt fairly good except that something was off, he/she might try a dog next.

If you have mixed feelings, it could be you have multiple kins, like Oanta mentioned. Other than that I've also heard some therians/otherkin feel like they're a hybrid of two creatures, like a wolf and a dog, and I've heard of winged wolfs as well. To figure stuff like this out, more details would be welcome. Things that would help are for example what phantom parts you feel, how often you feel them, what phantom parts you feel at the same time etcetera.

Wow, this is really helpful. Thanks!
As for phantom limbs and such, I always feel fangs, ears, and a tail together. I feel the wings very often, and horns are often felt with them.

A Jersey Devil fits most of that minus the fangs.  It depends on the types of parts that you are feeling I guess but that's one creature that fits the majority of those parts.

I found mine, a fennec fox, by how I act in public. Skittish, shy and excitable.

I have felt a special connection to dogs for years, and I often feel larger ears, and I seem to yawn like one. I feel extra connected to wolves and German Shepherds.

I am quiet, aggressive, smart, but SUPER loyal. And I don't trust people. What does that make me?
