The Ancient Forest
Historical Otherkin Websites
A compilation of archive links to websites from the late 1990s and early 2000s (up to about 2005), to give you a picture of what the online otherkin community was like at the time. The content of this page overlaps with but is not identical to the talk of the same name that I gave at Shining Hearth in February 2021.
Lair of the Toxic Elf - Kyrin's home page. "A place of magic, wonder, and bad attitudes. Mainly: you'll wonder what magic is making you put up with my bad attitude."
Kinships Magazine - A short-lived print magazine helmed by Spearcarrier.
BrennaGwyn (WhiteRaven)'s home page
Elven Realities in 1996 and 1998
Walking the Thresholds 2 - page for the gather in 1999
The Crow's Nest - home page of Miaren Crowsdaughter. She used to do introductory "So... You're Awake" workshops at gathers and managed one of the earliest otherkin directories, then often referred to as "webweaving" (hence the name of the similarly themed section on this site).

Shimmer's Homepage - home page of a Christian elf also known as Wyndreamer, Wynde'nai, or Tessa

Coolavin's Forest - home page of Aine, owner of the SidheList
Otherkin Resource Center - a hub of the otherkin community before there was an Otherkin.net.
Valindë's Otherkin - early home page of the person later known as Lindsay or magpie, owner of the ORC

The Land of the Dark Elves - if there's a single website that could be said to have sparked my own Awakening, this was it.
