Having decided to live in the wild, and magickal society away from humans, you will be free. But you will have complications in surviving. If you have experience in outdoor survival, then this should be easier for you.
The biggest issue I suppose would be finding a place to live. Much of the land today has been claimed by human society. Though you certainly can find uninhabited and un-owned pieces of land. Having wings will make traveling easier.
You're pretty much going to be living as a hermit, so prepare for loneliness. Even with a flock, you'll still feel quite cut off. Maybe every once in a while you can go to a local town or heck, travel to some new place as a vacation. Just be sure to socialize with outsiders even if it is a simple exchange of greetings. This will keep you somewhat sane.
As I mentioned earlier, if you have outdoor survival experience, you'll be set. You need to be able to find food, clean fresh water, and shelter. Here are some links to learn as much as you desire:

If you are taking the route, it is brutal. If you have a family, you may need to talk to them about your plans. If you cannot (due to many reasons), then just prepare yourself and leave. But I strongly recommend you communicate with your family, if possible. If they are abusive then you should just leave. But DO NOT ditch your family and leave them to feel as though the world ended for them. They WILL miss you.
You will also need to give up many luxuries. This includes, cars, technology, and indoor plumbing. Even if you can manage to get a hold of a car or some piece of technology for free (this does not mean stealing), maintenance costs will be tricky (Ex. firewall for computer, oil/tire change for car, insurance, etc.). You have wings, fly to wherever you want, fly to a library or internet cafe with computers there, heck fly to a public restroom with indoor plumbing.
Just be prepared.

Aeroly in the Human World
*안녕 친구들! This is a post for the new page I put up: Survival Aid*
If you have decided to live as an aeroly within human society, you will need to be very diligent in keeping your secret. (Let it be known that humans NEED to be aware about the unknown because they/we are also apart of the magickal world. But, being in the dark for so long will cause them to react badly to such news. We must ease them into this knowledge) This means that you cannot let your wings out freely around others and you must avoid the following:

(Let it be known that humans NEED to be aware about the unknown because they/we are also apart of the magickal world. But, being in the dark for so long will cause them to react badly to such news. We must ease them into this knowledge) This means that you cannot let your wings out freely around others and you must avoid the following:
- Swimming publicly in something revealing your back
- Bathing publicly or with others
- Back massages
- Wearing anything that reveals the back
Avoid the second one entirely, however, you can still swim publicly as long as your fine with wearing dark clothes that won't sag and reveal the wings. You can get a back massage from massage chairs, or revealing to a friend or family member about your secret and have them massage your back. You can still wear tank tops, low cut dresses, etc. as long as you wear a jacket or some form of wrap to cover the bare back.
Being in the human world, you're going to need to have some ally to help you. Let a family member or a friend know. And remember to find other aerolies.
Schooling & Other Social Activities
Why do you go to school? Is it to be around other people? Do you want the education to get your dream job? Or are you forced to go? If you merely go to get an education, consider home/online schooling. Online school is perfect for self-motivated students and especially for those who have busy parents. I recommend FLVS (It's called "Florida Virtual School"; but I'm pretty sure students all across the country can use it).
If you go to school for socialization and/or you're forced to go, then you should stay. You don't really need to change your lifestyle, you just need to keep your guard up and not be irresponsible. Certainly do not get into fights. Also make certain that you do have a friend in at least one of your classes who you can trust your secret to. If something goes wrong (faint, need to reveal back, etc.), than it'll be reassuring that you have someone to help you.
If you are into sports, don't let the wings stop you (unless you swim competitively). Keep away from grueling sports that may allow someone to accidentally touch your back.
Other hobbies, jobs and social events should be fairly safe. But always ensure that your wings are tightly shut against your back. The same rules for school apply to your job. Have a coworker you can trust.
Dating, Marriage, Family
When dating, you need to appear as normal as possible. Make sure the person is trustworthy and try going on dates at a dark movie theater. Never let them touch your back. I wouldn't risk it, but I suppose it isn't to terrible to allow them to wrap their arm around your shoulders.
When you are comfortable with this person and you accept them as either a good friend, or a lifetime mate, DO NOT reveal your secret to them all at one time. Slowly hint to them that you have wings. Ask them their thoughts on magickal subjects. Just ease them into the idea of you as an aeroly before revealing it.
Married life as an aeroly with a human may show to be more complicated than a fully human marriage. Your spouse may feel left out of your world and they may have difficulties coping with who you are. If it proves that difficult, you probably shouldn't have agreed upon being life mates with them. Make sure you spend enough time with them, and communicate often and openly.
If you choose to reproduce, your children may or may not have wings. Either way, they shall face difficulties, and either way, home birth is your best bet. If they do not have wings, they will possibly feel envious or embarrassed by your wings. Be sure to also communicate openly with them, and focus their thoughts on their good qualities. You can also help them grow their own wings.
If you have children with wings, it would be best you protect their backs when in public. Try to home school them and keep in mind what they want to do with their lives (live among humans, away from humans, be nomadic). Keep an eye on their wing growth and development. Teach them how to fly. When the primary feathers are more grown, take them out for a fly. Also communicate openly. Communication is crucial because therapy for this won't be so easy to get.
You should be open with your family members about your wings (they will prove to be helpful), but you don't need to inform all of them. If you don't want to tell your parents but you tell your grandparents, or vice versa, that is okay. Follow your gut instinct and tell whoever you feel comfortable telling.
Be Prepared to Let Go
Realize that it is a possibility that you will need to run away, change your identity, and make a new life. If you are in monumental danger, you may even need to say goodbye to the human world.
Scenarios in which you will have to leave your friends, family, city, possibly human society include:
- People know your secret and want you dead
- You are being hunted down for scientific purposes
- Your family/friends have made you an outcast
- Your secret has been reveled on an international scale (people will not cease to pester you)
- Your city makes you an outcast
There are many more scenarios but you'll have to judge the severity for yourself.
Mentally prepare yourself and just be able to survive on your own.

Update on My Wings (Side Effects #5)
No, I do not appear to have any physical sings of wing growth, aside from some sensations on my scapulae that feel like wings.
However, through many months, weeks, days of visualization, my astral wings are finally set. I can feel these wings, and I often receive vivid dreams of flight.
To move further, I'll be focusing more on my psychic abilities and working with dreams.
I found a wonderful book at the library written by a brilliant psychic, Ellen Dugan. The book just came out in 2015 and it is a guide for developing, and using your psychic powers. The book is called "The Natural Psychic". I highly recommend it. The entire time I read it, I felt as though Ellen was holding my hand (xD) and guiding me through my hazy (seemingly) unreachable abilities. I must warn you though, she is quite sassy.

Fan Dancing for the Aeroly Soul
Fan dancing is a varied dance form spread throughout many different cultures. I've researched and learned Japanese fan dancing, so I'll be referring to such.
Fans are a traditional tool for the element of air. Regardless of your own personal element, having wings means you'll be working with the element of air a lot.
If you are a different element (based off of the astrological signs), then you may want to work with it as well. You can do this through specific colored clothing, burning candles (for fire), putting a small stone in your pocket (for earth), or a vial of water in your pocket (obviously water). Try making up your own ways of keeping close to your element to add a personal touch.
Japanese fans symbolize friendship and respect. It's in ancient Japanese belief that the handle symbolizes the beginning of life (the beginning of your wing growth), and the ribs are the roads of life going out in all directions (the growth and obstacles to gaining your wings).
For fan dancing, all you need is a fan (or two) that opens and closes easily and smoothly, yet stays open when in use.
Fan dancing is simple; the movements are slow and intentional. Many movements can be repeated and it doesn't matter in which direction you step or turn. You can even make up your own moves. Just choose a song that feels suitable for you and allow yourself to flow with the music. You can dance quickly or slowly, whatever works. But never consider the fan as a separate item, think of it as an extension of your hand. Allow yourself to relax into, and enjoy.

Manifesting Your Desires Through Music
Music is all around us, it is present in our everyday lives. Different rhythms and melodies evoke different feelings of joy, melancholy, rebellion, inspiration, etc. One can even experience a physical reaction to music (not just dancing). If you experience a strong connection to a certain song, this just may help you to bring forth your greatest dreams and wishes.
When lost and confused, turn to a song which opens your mind and soul to your desire. Whatever allows you to feel a strong tingling sensation over your scapulae and spine, that song is an ally in your quest.
What You Can Do
When you've found the song(s), be it lyrical and/or instrumental, listen to it:

What You Can Do
When you've found the song(s), be it lyrical and/or instrumental, listen to it:
- While walking/sitting/lying in nature
- While standing/sitting/lying in a dark room (learn to embrace the darkness)
- While simply relaxing
Whatever method you choose, be sure to visualize yourself with wings and awaken your every sense to this visualization, Feel the wind ruffling your feathers, take note of the extra weight (not much) on your back, also, trying to practice controlling the wings. Flap your wings, feel them scoop up the air beneath them, the tips of the primary feathers slicing the air.
Personal Song List
Just for the hey of it, here's a list of my own personal songs which help me to manifest my wings:

Developing Kinetic Abilities Could Help to Grow Wings
The dictionary definition of 'kinetic' is, "pertaining to movement, kinesis". The definition of 'kinesis' is, "motion of objects. Therefore, kinetic abilities are obviously abilities to cause motion. You may already be familiar with some (if not all) kinetic abilities; this includes more popular abilities such as: telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and hydrokinesis. What all these powers have in common is that they all involve moving matter with mental power (or spiritual, depending on how you perceive it). But, could practicing and allowing the progression of these powers within yourself actually aid in wing growth?
Developing kinetic abilities requires: dedication, focus, practice, and patience. By spending each day practicing on a Psi Wheel, and each night listening to Binaural Beats specifically for telekinesis as you fall asleep, you can grow these powers.
By harnessing and controlling these abilities, you are expanding your mind and allowing yourself to accomplish anything. Also, think about it, if you had the power to move matter with any form of physical contact, wouldn't you be more likely to believe that you could grow wings and fly?
There exists a lesser known ability: Biokinesis. Though this power may not actually involve moving matter, it consists of certain transitions of the body, and still remains a "kinetic" power.
Biokinesis means to change or control bodily functions of oneself and even create features for one's body by (for example: wings).
To work this power properly, it is best for you to be able to perform telekinesis and have control over your energy. This can be a dangerous ability, because you can damage your DNA. A method you can use to develop wings through biokinesis is to stand in front of a mirror every morning and envision having wings behind you. Imagine what they can do, how they feel. Envision yourself opening your eyes to see yourself with wings.
From what we have gathered, developing a kinetic ability is a great way to lead to the growth of wings. The process to progress these powers is simple, but the effort will be tiring, but worth it.

Blog Title Change
If you're a past reader of this blog and you've checked out the blog's title at the top of this page, you'll notice it has changed. It is now "The Aeromaiden's Journal", rather than "Avian Journal".
I have changed this with the intent to give a more well-known name to winged people rather than angels (which aren't truly winged people, but divine messengers).
'Aero-' tends to refer to air or aviation. I chose to call this "The Aeromaiden's Journal" because I am a female, a maiden. However, for an undetermined gender, neuter, aeroly (plural: aerolies) is appropriate. Aerower is used for winged males ('wer' being old English for 'man').
So, what do you believe winged people should be called? Should we be aerolies? Maybe something different? I feel confident about the term "aeroly" but please feel free to share your thoughts and ideas.
