Des'tai! I think I know what your first question is. What is otherkin? That is hard to describe. We are basically the souls of other creatures trapped in a human's body. We, in out past lives, have been many things. Insect, animals, other humans. Elves, dragons, brinn, sidhe, dryads, faeries, pixies, satyrs.... all sorts. You get the idea. I believe myself to have been an elf in at least one previous life, and maybe other beings in others. None of us as far as I know have never really been considered "normal". We are deeply magickal beings, in love with nature and life in general. No I am not delusional. Well, if I am it is mass delusion, because there are many others who believe the same thing. We will not just go away. Anyway, there are others who can explain it better than I. i have included links to these different sites, and I hope you view them! Thank you sooo much!
