‘I’m totally aware I’m human… but spiritually I am a wolf’
A woman has explained why she “spiritually” identifies as a wolf.
Naia Ōkami, from Seattle, Washington, appeared on This Morning to talk about the way she sees herself and her everyday life.
As Okami pointed out to hosts Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes, she doesn’t believe she’s actually a wolf. Instead it’s “more of a spiritual and psychological identification.”
Speaking to the hosts, she explained: “I don’t physically believe I am a wolf. It’s more a spiritual and psychological identification as a wolf, like I’m totally aware I’m human…but by the same token, spiritually I am a wolf.
“I think a lot of people have a misconception that I think I am physically a wolf and obviously I don’t. I have a serious job, I pay my bills and taxes this is just how I spiritually express myself.”
She revealed that her interest and love for wolves started at a young age and that she even knows which specific breed of wolf exists in her soul.
“I am a British Columbian wolf,” she explained. “It started with dream shifting.
“That is when I had a dream of myself as a wolf and I could view myself in some of these dreams. I could see myself as an observer, in some of these dreams I was acting as a wolf.
“I went from that to looking more about actual wolves, real life wolves. The more I looked, the more and more I began to identify in that way.”
It was in her teen years that she learned to embrace her inner wolf.
“When I was in high school, I was a lot more shamelessly expressive,” she explained on This Morning. “I would vocalise, I would howl, that is how I express myself.
“Nowadays, It’s a little different… If I’m at work or in the grocery store, I’m not going to bark or howl.”

There’s a word for this as well – ‘otherkin’- this is a term used to refer to people who identify as not completely human. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as trans-species dysphoria of the soul, ancestry, metaphor or a belief they’ve been reincarnated, according to the New York Post.
It seems in Ōkami’s case that her interpretation of ‘otherkin’ fits best into the metaphor form of expression.
