On Being Elenari And Starting This Community

Ever since awakening to my true self in my late teens, I have felt an affinity toward a particular past life. For all I know it was my first life; at least it feels as such. I have no recollections of anything before those memories. This life was on an alien world. These memories did not come to me all at once. I would feel a particular pull to a thought, a place, or a feeling and the memories would flood in. Some of the earliest memories was that of a great throne room. This throne room had very high ceilings, a very large entrance door, and I sat or stood to the right facing the left wall from the entrance. I must have done this many times for me to remember just doing something as mundane as staring in a particular direction of this grand room. Outside the throne room was a hallway that lead to a great library and a huge pavilion garden overlooking a forest. That is all I remember of this structure. I didn't know an exact location or name of this place, but I felt strongly that this was on another world entirely, and that if I could just look up at the night sky, I could possibly even feel it's location. It's very hard to explain the pull and the longing to return there. Nothing in this world feels as right as I remember that place to be. Fast forward to my mid 20s and I meet someone who claims to be from the same world I was from. He showed me how to see my previous form as an elf like being. I'm not sure how much of his memories were convoluted by his reading of J.R.R. Tolkien, but some of it made sense and some of it did not. I'll leave out many of the details due to this, but I do believe that I played an important role in some sort of council of equals with him. I do believe that we made a decision together to stop what is known as the corruption in Elenari circles. I do believe that we had to leave our home world in carrying out this decision. Again, it's hard to explain, but I feel it in my heart. Cut forward to sixteen years after my awakening, and I stumble upon content on the Internet about the Elenari. Despite not remembering all the details of what is written about the Elenari (I believe that much of what is written about the past lives of otherkin is the proverbial blind men describing parts of an elephant anyway), this brought things in to a much bigger picture for me. I had not heard of any others like me since I had parted ways with the person who showed me how to see my true self. I had thought that there may be only a handful of us out there in this world, if even that. Now I knew that my people were out there in droves. The only issues are that they are a bit scattered. Most of the communities are on old and all but deserted mailing lists, and forums aren't as frequented anymore. Being who I am, I wanted to fix this. That's when I decided to create a new Otherkin community. One where otherkin can find those like themselves, learn from one another, have each other's backs, and grow. Instead of the old platforms, we will be using Discord to chat and keep in touch. The website will be here for articles, links, and resources such as the link to our Discord and other community activities. Hopefully, together we can create a community that is future proof, one that can look past differences and join together on equal footing and respect for one another. Won't you join us?
