Otherkin Or Not?

I've been talking with my Elven friend about my Elven past lives. She asked how I believe I am Otherkin. I told her spiritually and through past lives. I don't feel like I'm a direct decedent of an Elf. My friend is far more Elven than me. I do remember my past lives, but what about the others? Most people say I remind them of Fey. I get Faery gifts, I have a faery costume, I own books about them, I work with them spiritually...why don't I think of myself as Fey? Its so confusing. Maybe because I have too much information about all my past lives, the Human ones included. There's no means for me to prove to myself or to other people. Maybe I just have a soul that enjoys different experiences, though I've been on Human repeat for a few centuries.

I am not sure of the point of remembering these things. But my Grandmother shines down in approval from wherever she went after she died. I feel like she's watching over my sister and I. When I saw her smiling face floating above my feet a few days ago, I felt it was her way of saying I am on the right track.

I'm not going to give up on the Elves, but I'm going to try and focus on being Fey. Maybe it just comes naturally to me. And the Tuatha de Danann were said to have diminished into faery beings. The Sidhe. I must explore this further.

Some are of genetic type and bring with them gifts they are attributed to them in previous lives. But there is also the possibility of a walk-in instead of a re-birth. As I am of the genetic type I do not know much about the other ones.

Just wanted to say I like it. Hope you do not mind... Have you ever done astral travelling? I think then you will find out easily. At the beginning I hated my wrapping (still dislike sometimes that organic stuff) so that I was more out of it then it. It took me a long time to cope with it.

Sorry, for writing so much but it is hard to find people to understand...

Comment by Elfie [ElfSeeker] on February 21, 2012 at 12:45pm: I appreciate your in put! And you're absolutely right...it is VERY hard to find people who understand what being Otherkin is all about. I am not the genetic type (at least I don't think, I could be wrong). I know certain metals in coins leaves a burning sensation on my palm, and that technology and I don't usually jive. I'm surprised my new laptop has lasted this long. Lol. I have never explored whether or not I'm a walk-in. I don't think I am. I'm still very much myself.

I have done astral travel, to the Summerland/Avalon/Faeryland (whichever you prefer). I have dreams about being Fey from time-to-time. The last dream was about me kidnapping a four year old Human child and taking her to the Faery Queen as a gift. I have a pair of phantom Faery wings of the Dragonfly nature.

What type of Otherkin are you? If you don't want to share, that's alright. I'm just curious. :) Meeting the genetic types is rare.

Comment by Shantar on February 21, 2012 at 1:20pm: I do not know if I should post my answer here. I am still quite new to this site. My kin has something like a bad additive because people tend to believe to stories and beings created by phantasy authors ... but that does by no means correlate. I am a shadow elf but not that kind you will find in novels ... sorry to repeat again and again but I made bitter experiences. I am much slower aging as humans and have ability to heal myself. I like to "work" with the natural elements and am into communication with trees and other plants on a more telepathic way. My vision is extrem, but have extraordinary night vision. I do not feel good in sunshine, wearing all through the year sunglases with different shades. Over a temperation of 25°C my circulation is giving up. It slows down till unconsciousness the hotter it is. The most beautiful is for me seeing the stars and moon by night, being around "my" tree or trees. I can not live in a concrete city, would make me sick.

Comment by Elfie [ElfSeeker] on February 21, 2012 at 8:21pm: Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share. Your experiences sound interesting, I'd love to hear if you have any memories. My Elf friend doesn't remember anything about past lives but she is very much an Elf. I figured that out the day I met her. I too have a fondness for a starry sky. I am sensitive to heat, most metals, and I work with the Fey. I'm questioning whether or not I'm more Fey than Elf. People often call me a Faery or Pixie after they get to know me. I don't think I could live in a city either, but sadly the closest university is in a city, and I will likely be attending college there later this year. It will take some serious adjustment. I'm used to being able to go down nature trails whenever I want. The campus is pretty, it has some trees, but its not the same as being surrounded by them in the country.

I'd love to hear more about your connection to trees. :) I talk to them too, sometimes out loud sometimes telepathically. I have very strong empathy for animals and even plants.

Comment by Shantar on February 22, 2012 at 12:26pm: I have visited at least up to 5 of my past lives by past life regressions. Nevertheless, the most closest were three times burning at the stake in different epochs, which is not wonder during 700 years of burning time. And two times are far more back when I was living in a cave in the wilderness, coming out by night when the stars came out. I had some very good memories of it. There was a time of harmony, feeling me and the trees were sharing the same source. When I stood by a tree I felt when our roots met under the earth they were intertwined in one, nourishing each other.

I do not know very much about Pixies, but I would like to learn :)
