Hi everyone! I'm a wheelchair rolling trans woman named Scarlett. Queer in this life, dealing with past ones. Old soul in a new world.

Registration for Shining Hearth closes in one week, on February 23rd. (What\'s Shining Hearth? It\'s a free online gathering for Elves, Fae, Sidhe, Tuatha De Danann, and similar folk, being held on Discord on Feburary 26th-28th.) We hope to see you at our hearth! https://www.shininghearth.net

An early version of the schedule of presentations at Shining Hearth is now available at https://www.shininghearth.net/schedule.html! Please note that it is still subject to change, and we are also still working on things like watch-alongs.

Registration is still ongoing and will be open through February 23.

General registration for Shining Hearth is now open! The form is at https://forms.gle/JXgWTqoGNc3YS2pS7.

Presenter signups for Shining Hearth are still open at https://forms.gle/V3hYJnos9NLBNM8Y6.

Presenter signups are now open for Shining Hearth! We are looking for people to give talks, lead discussions, do rituals or meditations, all sorts of things. The form is available at https://forms.gle/V3hYJnos9NLBNM8Y6 and will remain open through December 31.

And as always, we encourage subscribing to the Shining Hearth newsletter: https://www.shininghearth.net/newsletter.html. (We occasionally have problems with the confirmation email not being delivered, so check your spam folder, and if you still don\'t see it, send an email to staff@shininghearth.net and we\'ll get it sorted one way or another.)

Staff signups for Shining Hearth (an online gathering of elves, fae, sidhe, and similar folk) will close tomorrow, December 2. If you have been thinking about helping out as a mod or assistant but not signed up yet, the form is still open at https://forms.gle/8ii3XtYjW63r4GTC6.

Also, since it seems OKN is balking at trying to put more than one link in the same post, Shining Hearth encourages you to sign up for our newsletter at https://www.shininghearth.net/newsletter.html to get future updates!

Staff signups are now open for Shining Hearth! We are looking for people to volunteer to moderate chat, to help presenters get set up, and to help take care of technical needs for activities such as watch-alongs and game sessions. You can select only one of those or any combination. The form is available at https://forms.gle/8ii3XtYjW63r4GTC6 and will remain open through December 2.

We are pleased to announce *Shining Hearth*, an online gathering of elves, fae, and adjacent folk!

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.)

Dear Everyone,

Is it just me or is spamming article after article about steaming videos seem like a troll move. The bad kind not the otherkin kind. Sorry that is a poor choice of words. If somebody knows another word for internet trolls reply with it. If there isn’t another word let’s make one maybe.

SF Bay Otherkin - Virtual meetup tomorrow, Saturday, March 14.

In lieu of the in-person event (cancelled due to coronavirus concerns) we will be having a virtual meetup at the same date and time, 2 PM March 14th, on Jitsi https://meet.jit.si/. No account or program installation is required for desktop computers (mobile apps are also available). Comment or PM for the room address and password.

(posting as a personal update since the Events feature has been broken for a while...)

How is everyone?

I find many posts incredibly interesting but I see a case of rose colored lenses being all to common. Of course we will see our otherness as the us we prefer over humanity but in many cases I see a lack of negativity. That is where I find my remembering so at odds. Many of my remembering are not good but that doesn’t make it bad to uncover. If you were the reincarnation of a monster that doesn’t mean you must be one. You could instead learn from the errors of your previous selves and pursue a better path in your current incarnation. That is why I accept all of my peoples rememberings (the good,the bad, and the ugly)

For those who doesn't use Discord, I associate myself with dragons and elves. I question myself if I am really an otherkin, but I recall a dream I had being a faerie.. so I made a conclusion that I am not human in spirit. Nice to meet you all!

Hello. My name is Emily. I'm new to this site.
Anyway, I'm struggling with an attraction I have toward elves...Not that it's a bad thing that I'm attracted to elves or anything it's just...I'm starting to feel like that's the only species I have an attraction for. Meaning, I very rarely, (If ever) have attraction toward other humans. For the longest time I thought maybe I was just Demisexual/Graysexual around other humans...But now I'm starting to wonder if that's really it, or if I'm just so attracted to elves and such, (Especially Drow elves like Drizzt!) that I don't have an attraction to other humans...Anyway, I've been feeling frustrated about it, and even a little sad, as I'm not sure what this means for my love life and such.
