So, on a whim (and because it's available on Hulu) I started re-watching an old show that I enjoyed from time to time when I was younger.  Poltergeist: The Legacy.  According to Hulu, it originally aired in 1996, though that seems wrong to me somehow... I could have sworn it was a contemporary of Friday the Thirteenth the TV series which began its run roughly a decade earlier.  At any rate, I've been very pleasantly surprised to find a fairly high level of magic realism in this series.  There are some elements that are original, pulled in to flesh out their fictional world, but the elements taken from existing myth are very well researched.  It's also far more of a drama than most other supernatural series... while there are some combat scenes, things are rarely resolved at the end of one's fists in the series.  I'm really enjoying watching it again, and I'm surprised by how much substance there was that I've forgotten over the years.

Still looking around for more otherkin language resources.  Found one more old one that was on a site that doesn't exist anymore (yay for archive.org and reocities.com and oocities.com!), and I finally realized where the Shiri dictionary that I was *certain* I remembered seeing was at... in the file area of a mailing list I used to belong to.   It looks like it's been incorporated in its entirety into the Elenari Language Dictionary, though. so now I'm not stressing out about trying to find that one anymore.

I still feel like there are more out there, or there should be....   if anyone know of any publicly-visible dictionaries, glossaries, lexicons, or just plain word lists of remembered non-human languages that I don't already have linked here, drop me a line and let me know?  Ones that were on defunct sites you know of count too, sometimes I can resurrect them through the magic of the interwebs and they may still be useful to people trying to piece bits of language together from other lives, even if the site is gone and the maintainer is not around anymore.
