Naturesoul/naturanimae
Here are all informations about alterhuman term naturesoul (or naturanimae). I hope this term will become one of the official alterhuman terms, along with flag and symbol, will appear in alterhuman and otherkin wikis one day and will help those who can't really identify with all these terms that already exist. If you can reblog this post or share with others, I would be really grateful, I hope more beings will recognize this and there will be beings that identify as naturesoul. :)

Definition:
Naturesoul or naturanimae (from latin: naturae = nature + animae = soul, can be translated as "natural soul") is alterhuman term (label) for souls who can't feel full connection with their physical bodies.
Soul is primordial/basic living being that is in every physical creature, soul is that living being, with personality and memories, and creatures are physical bodies in different shapes, they can't live without souls, but souls can live without physical body. There is one soul in one body.
Naturesoul identify as souls in human bodies, not humans, they are aware of being just souls and because of that they can't identify as any other beings. They feel disconnection with current physical incarnation and can see it as "clothes" for soul, they can see possibility in being in any body, as any physical creature, physical form isn't that important, or they can prefer some specific body or parts from other physical creatures which they like or they were in previous incarnation (similar to otherlink, but they still not identify as that creature, they still identify as souls). Can also feel spiritual connection between them and nature, their beliefs can be connected to nature and feels as part of nature. In the same time they can partially identify with any creature's characteristics from their previous incarnations in which they felt good, for example as soul they can feel connection with cats (similar to otherhearted), they also can miss qualities they had in previous incarnations such as flying (bird incarnation) or walking on four legs etc. So they can feel some connection in different ways with their previous incarnation.
Contrary to popular belief that soul has no gender, naturesoul can identify with any gender identities (because of previous incarnations or experiences), but agender and gender neutral can be frequent, can use any pronouns. They can experiencing dysphoria because of disconnection with human body or any gender identities they feel, also can be genitalfluid/sexfluid which can be related with seeying their body just as "clothes". Naturesoul can be any sexuality and romantic orientation.

Important note:
Naturesoul can feel connection with creatures from their previous incarnations, they can miss some characteristics and qualities of creatures they were in the past, they even can have their own preferences about what body they want to have, but they can't identify in the same time as any other creatures. Naturesoul can't be combined with other alterhuman terms, this is separate identity which, due to its specificity, doesn't allow you to identify with something else at the same time. If someone identify with something else and at the same time feels spiritual identity, it's probably soulkin, not naturesoul.

Symbol:
・Original - Harmonia mundi (from latin: harmony of the world):
Dot in the central part represents Mother Earth and the energy of life and creation, everything has that energy.
Pentagram represents the elements and nature.
Small drops coming from arms of the pentagram represent that everything has the same beginning and is created from the same energy.
Long drops represent souls, like a circle in a pentacle, they represent the harmony of nature, they are connected with it and are part of it.
The whole harmonia mundi symbol represents world's structure and roots of souls, from dot to drop. Also represents close and spiritual connection with nature and being part of it.
・Alternative - Pentacle:
Represents close and spiritual connection with nature and being part of nature, it's also symbol of nature.

Some of my personal thoughts about naturesoul, why I'm soul and how I see world as soul you can find here.
That 6th Stroke 💫
This is not the first time that I’ve encountered the pentacle vs pentagram discussion. I've gotten the two of them confused more often than I'd like to admit. I just didn’t know the difference between the two, and thought they were interchangeable. But, as I am coming to really understand, the key is in the details, and I learned my lesson.
The concept of the pentagram is as old as Ancient Sumeria and Babylon. The name itself comes from the Greeks. “Pente” is in reference to the five points, or lines, and “gram” means to write, so it translates to the five lines you can draw in one motion. The pentagram was used in nearly all religions all over the world. To Sumerians, it was a compass representing the five planets they could see with their naked eyes. The Pagans see it as the five elements; from the top, clockwise, Spirit/Akasha, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Pythagoras and Da Vinci and the rest of the “non-religious” saw a golden ratio. A pentagram showed the five limbs of a human, a la the Vitruvian Man. Even the Christians used the pentagram for a time as a symbol of the five wounds of a Crucified Christ.
If I hadn’t emphasized the word “five” enough, allow me to take this time to really point it out. By adding a sixth line, in this case, a circle enclosing the star, it is now a different thing. The pentagram becomes the pentacle. The circle acts as a sort of protection for the five elements of the star inside. It has its roots in an amulet that hangs from the neck. It sort of brings the magical manifestation into the real world. Though, I suppose the easier way to remember the difference is that pentacle and circle both end in CLE. However, it’s this circle that seems to bring along all the bad press. Once they put a circle around a pentagram, sometime between the Medieval Ages and the Renaissance, it was hitched to the Evil Wagon™. Somewhere around when they were burning witches, the pentacle got flipped upside down, and it became associated with the goat-headed Baphomet, Satanists, and other general evil.
Now, the difference between a pentagram and a pentacle is firmly cemented in my head. I see, very clearly, a star representing Nature, Earth, and the world around me. If I’m being honest though, I will more than likely still use them interchangeably. The pentagram really is the important part to me, and adding that extra line, that circle, would be just adding a little extra protection. I’ll more often add the circle to complete the doodle, only sometimes to intentionally add protection. It’s all good information to know, but I’m just being real with myself.
Happy pride Queers and Allies! 🏳️🌈 This is my personal flag and I wanted to make a little challenge, trend, whatever you want to call it. The rules? There are none! The only point of making this flag is to make one with elements of yourself, you can put your pride flags, your country flag, favorite things, pronouns and so on. Have fun wether your doing this challenge or something else, stay safe, take care of yourself, and all my closeted folks, you stay the safest.
