A Field Guide To Otherkin
''A Field Guide to Otherkin'' is a 2007 book by the neopagan writer and psychologist Lupa. It discusses the otherkin community, a group of people who believe they are, in some sense, not entirely human. Lupa, who considered herself otherkin at the time of the book's publication, conducted a qualitative study of online otherkin communities between 2005 and 2006; she wrote ''A Field Guide to Otherkin'' based around its findings, synthesizing its conclusions about otherkin belief and its origins, common otherkin identities, and the religious and spiritual beliefs of otherkin.

It presents data that most survey respondents ascribed their beliefs to reincarnation, feeling that they were other than human in a past life, and that most identified with neopaganism and related new religious movements.
