I believe your expecting anyone claiming to be an elf,fae,what have you ....to have pointy ears or little wings and can fly. As Featherfoot has explained...and i think the majority would agree...it is something within your soul...something you feel you were born with or handed down from a previous life or generation. If you were a certain kin...you'd know what we mean by that inner soul feeling....you feel drawn to a certain life other then the human nature. We all may be human but that does'nt mean all of our traits follow that same path. For some it's a spiritual plain...others astral...but none the less it's inside you in one form or another. May i suggest going to the shadowlore website which can be found above in the news section of these boards and click on the elves or fairy sections. The links provided would certainly enlight you to what we are and may give you a better understanding on what kind of life we lead and why.

You are confusing the storybook, mythical portrayals with the spiritual, what is felt within. I have never seen anyone with unnaturally pointy ears out there.

True elves aren't around anymore, thanks to a darkness faction some three hundred years ago to exterminate them. The last "Physical" Elf was what we say in America: Native American. Now adays, they are just reincarnated souls and spirits that are like everything else in this world, In Human Bodies that take on forms similar to that of their souls type.
Now finding true spirited elves, sprites, fae, and the like, is really as they say, Rare and tough. I wish I could give more information, but this is from a more personal past experiences.
I wish I knew More...

Hi do you guys actualy believe you are elves or wotever cos bein a normal human its hard for me to believe. cheers dave Hi Dave, I'm an elf. Not a spiritual elf, not a soul sharing elf, but an elf. I don't find it hard to be "human" as you say because I am part. Let's use the D&D term, yes I know a bad word, " a half elf". See Paracelsus, 1493-1541, writes about the fairies and elements. “His elementals occupied a position between humans and pure spirits, though they lived exclusively in one of the four elements. Made of flesh and blood, they ate and slept and procreated like humans do. But unlike mortals, they were long-lived, capable of superhuman speed and movement, and without immortal souls.” I am currently studying more on this to add to my list on traits and the elven quest. So somewhere's back in time, like I have said a umpth-billion time, one of my great ancestors did the nasty with an elf or fey or nature spirit or angel, whatever you want to call it, and I just happen to have a "recessive gene" that happened to come out. I am ALWAYS told by both those that "know" me and those that don't, that I look like an elf. Usually I'm compared to Arwyn, or the fairy from Fern Gully, or a vulcan... yes a vulcan, they are just hyper active space elves. The youngest of my sons is also commonly compared to as a little trooper fairy or Imp... 6 to 1 1/2 a dozen to another, LOL! Like everyone else, I always felt a bit different. Not always fitting in with the crowd, yadda yadda yadda. Through research and study, with help from friends, psychics, regressions, spirit guides, all the crap, I finallt came to my conclusion and still there is much more research needing to be done. So to you I say, perhaps you ARE part elf, and not just spiritually elven. Elix

I am part elven, but it's been so diluted by human ancestry as well that you would never guess if you weren't looking into my eyes. My soul is half elven, half angel. My last life was exactly that. While most of our bodies don't carry over our spirits do. The darkness faction wasn't the first to try to wipe us out, a faction of vampires had tried a few centuries prior, so most of our kind went into hiding. We became very rare because of that and even moreso due to the darkness so you will RARELY ever meet or even hear of a full blood or true bodily elf, even a part elf. .:Twilight:.

Can I ask what the hell is a darkness faction?? This was to happen what... 300 years ago? So during the 1700's that's England's late Renaissance when elves and fey types would have been reveered. Elix

im not 100% on them but I know that throughout the centuries there have been several attempts by various species to kill off all light fae and elves. We're powerful but we're also viewed as weak by some races because we prefer to avoid war. Think Hitler during the holocaust, not all germans wanted jews gone but there were a good number that did, because they felt they were the superior race (please noone be upset with that its the best comparison i can think of). They wanted to wipe us out because they dont share our views on things.

Who?? And what do you mean by "light fey and elves", like the Tolkein light elves or the Germaic Alfaers? What races view us as weak? I have never heard of any of this.

There are like hundreds of different kinds of elves and fae. I don't know how to explain. When I say light, wong term I know, I mean the good ones any race of otherkin that prefer peace and avoid war whenever they can (light elves are a race of their own, same with moon dark and sun earth, you name it it'll probally be a race). It's so hard for me to explain all this because I don't understand it much myself, I'm new to all this and, I've never understood why people would want to destroy an entire civilization. The only ones I know for sure tried to kill us off, made their attempt hundreds of years ago, the vampires. But that was for more than just the whole I don't like your culture thing. It basically comes down to "evil" otherkin vs "good" otherkin. Like nochtal says, his kind are to keep the balance. But there are lots of others who make their attempt to tip the scales in their favor by wiping out the competition. We're the competition. Don't ask me why, but they want the good kin gone. Like I said I'm only just now learning this stuff and I can't explain exactly what kinds want us dead. The only ones that I have become aware of distaste for us, and I'm not saying all do I'm saying in general, alot of dark practitioner vampires and dark necromancers want us dead. I hope that cleared up some confusion, but I know it didn't help much, I'm only telling you what I've been told and what I remember myself.I don't know how else to explain it and I don't know enough to go into detail. Sorry.

ok dropping in to enlighten yall, u wont see many posts by me around i tend to only drop in time to time (i really dont care as to finding more of my kin or any of that i see it this way: they find me they find me, they dont they dont, i frankly dont give a crap who dies and who doesnt) anyways to clear up what my girl is saying there are kin that dont like kin. its a dead give away it doesnt take rocket science to know that there is going to be conflict among different kin. its like racism exept to a much higher degree i am sure yall have gotten "mental attacks" if u havent ur either A) weak or B) no a kin at all. mental attacks are just a part of life even vampires get them and alot too, i should know im one my self. to name some off the bat that dont like elves: start out with necromancers( elves are known for some of the potent spells u can make with parts from their bodies) but i shall not go into that anyways. orcs (i don't care about the proper name, you should know what I'm talking about). Dark elves vs High Elves (they had conflicting views as to how life should be lived i dont know about their standing now frankly i dont care) i will just say if u really never heard of kin attacking kin or being a mortal enemy of some kin (a.k.a wanting them all dead) you are very sheltered and naive

Sorry he's being rude, he's just blunt. But he understands and explains it better than I do. He's not kidding about the necro thing either, I've been attacked by one and trust me, it's not fun. I'm lucky morningstar was there or I'd probally not be here.

ive been reading your conversation and everything said is true about kin on kin discrepancies, its natural selection in the mind. that is what i have finally learned about the creation of the shadow fae by two species of my kin, they were created to exterminate the more powerful kin like the dragons, but.. just like the dragons the shadow fae were to powerful to control and i admit, both were mistakes.
i have my dislikes of inferior races...and i know im going to get hounded up the ass for this, but elves are not my choice as being even close to the demeanor and majesty of the fae kin, same goes with theians.
