“Often for elves and faeries, we just miss our elf ears and our wings. Our differences with human incarnation are generally cultural rather than physical. . . . normal culture overall just seems peculiar, non-sensical and unnecessarily competitive and aggressive to us. We feel like aliens in their culture and, truly, we are. . . But for those who are born into humanoid bodies but are a dragon in their spirits, or some other non-humanoid form, the difficulties can be greater. There is a continuing sense of body dysmorphia and their human body always seems odd to them.”
Does the fact that we are elfae (a word we Silver Elves use to mean elves and other magical beings of the Faerie Realm) and otherkin spirits incarnated into humanoid bodies make it harder for us, than say, for men and women? Well, yes and no, as is so often the case with we elfin folk. Naturally, having to incarnate into material bodies is just harder overall for nearly everyone. If we, as spirits, were living fully in our body of light, it would surely be easier for us as spirits. The material world is slow and ponderous and, by its nature, somewhat difficult due to its propensity to create friction between objects. Which is not even to mention how some folks just go around making things more difficult for nearly everyone when it could all be so much easier. But even without their determined folly, this is still a somewhat difficult world to live in at times.
However, living in this material world does have its advantages. Perhaps, the most significant is that it allows us the opportunity to develop our other bodies: our astral bodies, our mental bodies, our bodies of light and pure energy and what we might call our psychological bodies, as well, as a mode of developing consciousness. Once we have fully built, you might say, all these bodies, we will be able to live in a material world that isn’t quite so material anymore, for them our consciousness will more fully appreciate the energetic world that underlies material form and we shall live, in a sense, as though we are existing in a lucid dream.
Of course, this sense of disassociation from one’s body can vary from elf to elf, or from elf to faerie, or more particularly from elves to those who are dragons, werewolves, puccas, or some other sort of fae whose natural body isn’t humanoid in the first place. We elves are generally represented as being humanoid beings, so beyond the normal difficulties having to do with material existence, we do pretty well. We often miss our elf ears, and frequently feel rather estranged from the cultures we are raised within but otherwise we’re okay with human bodies. At least, those of us who are normally in humanoid bodies anyway. Since from an elvish point of view a tree could be an elf, or a bird might be an elf, or a hound might be an elf, or dragonflies, butterflies, moths and so forth are nearly all faeries, then it is possible that an elf or faerie could be born into a human body when they are used to living in a bird body and so on. That would make it more difficult.
Often for elves and faeries, we just miss our elf ears and our wings. Our differences with human incarnation are generally cultural rather than physical. Sometimes the language we are raised using just seems strange to us. It is different than our ancient language and perhaps even different than the language we spoke in our last incarnation. And normal culture overall just seems peculiar, non-sensical and unnecessarily competitive and aggressive to us. We feel like aliens in their culture and, truly, we are.
However, for those who are born into humanoid bodies but are a dragon in their spirits, or some other non-humanoid form, the difficulties can be greater. There is a continuing sense of body dysmorphia and their human body always seems odd to them. It can make them feel like they are going mad and if they tell anyone, other than adept elfae about it, they will think so, too. For these otherkin folk, getting used to the humanoid form can be much more difficult. And stress can have ill effects upon that body, their inner discontent sometimes displaying itself as disease or just a pervading sense of unhappiness and feelings of being out of place.
One of the key aspects of elfae character is an ability to adapt to changing circumstances. This is not to say we are always happy about what is going on nor that we never experience stress, but rather that we ever seek to turn every situation to our advantage as best and as soon as we can. We do try to look for the bright side of every situation and use our magic to enhance its powers and effects upon us and our surroundings. But then again, we don’t usually face the sort of dilemma that say fauns and dragons face in feeling not only out of place in the world but not even in the right body.
Still, the solution for all of us who are traversing the material realms is to do the best with what we have been given so we may master our various bodies that exist and interact with the different planes, levels and dimensions of energetic being until we obtain true adeptship and may manifest in any body we so choose. We would say, we can’t wait but, alas, we have no choice but to do so. Our only real choice is to increase our powers and abilities and this will give us the power to be who we truly are, which is ever the true goal and path of the Elven Way, anyway.

“Faerie magic is hedge magic. It’s garden magic, too. It’s magic of the thickets and the misty morning dew. It springs up with the wild flowers and moss in forest vales and ivy climbing up the walls and ferns so light and frail. It’s found where morning coffee brews and teas in afternoon, and if it hasn’t found you yet it surely will so soon.”
