Catch a shadow by the wall
Don't look down or else you'll fall
What certain Sons did cruelly rend
With pattern, blood, and song we'll mend
Dressed in thistle, crowned with bay
Slipping in behind the day
Painted, plaited, flower-strewn,
Beat the bodhran fierce in tune
Come alone or come together
Best the song in worst of weather
Writhing, twisting, turning, sliding,
Always here our time abiding
'til their minds are quite besotten
Mother's warnings all forgotten
Hands tight clasped we'll all round turn
And set the fire quick to burn
Cast your lot and lay your bet
Weave the steps into a net
Leave the Gate thrown wide open
And lure the weary traveler in
Never tire, reaching higher, sing the fire, fire higher!
Never tire, reaching higher, sing the fire, fire higher!
Never tire, reaching higher, sing the fire, fire higher!
Never tire, reaching higher, sing the fire, fire higher!

A while back, I changed the tagline on the splash page. I was trying to make a point. Maybe I was too subtle. (What? The font wasn't big enough?)
Otherkin is a lie. An effective, tidy, comfortable lie, but a lie nonetheless.
"So how do you define a dragon?" I was asked.
Well, that should get someone's attention. If there is anyone listening.
Lately I\'ve been struggling with the feeling of not feeling connected to this world, and just wishing to go back as a dragon and live life in another plane. I\'ve had these possible past life memories coming up recently, and it intensifies the feeling, which would make sense, I suppose. In these memories I am a colour of deep blue, scaled, as I see myself, and although I don\'t exactly see what I look like, it kind of... Feels right, I suppose? At least, that is how I choose to see myself.
Im not completely sure what I am. Can anyone help me? I feel like both a wolf and a cat but I dont know if I have to choose one or the other. Im new here any help would be awesome. Thank you
Hello everyone, my name is Astrophora. You can call me Astro. I\'m a mermaid from the Pacific Ocean and while I\'m not sure if I\'m in exactly the right place since I haven\'t found many merfolk here, I do feel like I can be taken seriously here. Ever since I first laid eyes on the ocean I\'ve had a profound connection to it, and I suppose even from back then even when I was learning to adjust to my new human body I\'ve known deep down that I was a mermaid, but it slept in my subconscious. I didn\'t want to admit it because the idea was not only extremely mysterious but scary to me. In some aspects it still is, but I\'ve learned to embrace this part of myself. I\'m also a medium and have had many past life regressions of my time undersea.
Hey so i found this community through a friend. I have been a snake in multiple past lives . I often like to put myself in the snake mindset and be myself .
weirdly, i have a patron via patreon today. never happened before. the very idea someone would appreciate my (but is it) art is really messing with my head a little...
Hi and thanks for creating this group.
Is there a forum for elenari?
I fear my mobile fone isn\'t optimized for this website and I haven\'t much free time to use my pc...😞
It\'s sad that this site is not very active these days.
Hey, y\'all, I\'m super new to this whole community and am just trying to figure out who I am. Feel free to interact!!!!
I tend to forget about what I\'m signed up for but recently I\'ve been getting emails that I have notifications only to find that when I log in I have none
I\'ve been away from otherkin.net for a few years. Life happens *shrug*
I am no longer taking students, but I\'m willing to talk to people and try to answer questions.
I\'m also still involved in the Texas otherkin scene in general, and the North Houston Otherkin meetup group in particular, if you would rather talk in person.
May you find what you need,
Dan
Online gathering of Elves, Fae, and adjacent Folk... Would you attend?
This past August, some therians and otherkin from Tumblr organized a free virtual convention called Othercon. It went off well, proving such a thing can be done, so my husband and I plus a couple of elven-faery friends wondered: could we do a similar online gather that was specifically intended for Elves-Sidhe-Tuatha-Fae?
We are still in the very early planning stages, at this point just seeing if there is enough interest to make it work. If you are of one of those folk, take our survey at https://forms.gle/iYADL7bKrpwoZ8z88 ! It will remain open through October 27.
Feel free to send this link directly to friends or to share it in locked posts or private groups, but please check with me before posting it anywhere public.
(To answer one likely question up front, we do not intend to bar entry to anyone who is not Elf, Sidhe, etc., solely based on what they are. We are just trying to keep the scope of panels and activities fairly narrow.)
