Confused About What I Am

[Elf Seeker]

I can't decide if I'm Elven or Fey. Generally I remind people of Faeries, especially Pixies for some reason. Coins make my hands feel like they're burning. I don't seem to jive well with technology. I have phantom dragonfly wings. And I remember a little bit about living a life as a pixie. Now I have Elven memories too, of two elves specifically. But I'm not sure if that makes me Elven. I was thinking I lived as a Tuatha de Danann. Who were believed to have gone underground and diminished into the Sidhe. As Draena, my second Elven incarnation, perhaps as her I turned into a Faery over time. I'm really not sure what to believe.

I have read everything you have written. You are a very beautiful person. Because we exist on multiple levels everything you are saying is true. You are all of these things, like a diamond with many facets. Being able to perceive yourself in more than one dimension is a gift. Use it to ask for what you need here and now and help others with the same since you have the ability to do so. Love, Tara

I think I agree with you. That makes more sense than anything I've read so far. I don't see the Tuatha as diminishing, but rather of gaining a state of being that transcended the physical. I don't think they turned into Faeries because that doesn't sound or feel right to me. I think Faeries were already a part of the land, and that the Tuatha worked with them. I think they even preceded Humanity. Anyway, I think its plausible that I was a Tuatha twice, and lived as a Faery too. I think my soul came from Elsewhere...maybe another planet. I also think the Tuatha were space Elves that came to Earth. They don't strike me as being native to this land.

Thank you so much for the enlightening response. It got me thinking in a different way that makes sense. :)

There is naturally some confusion over the terms Elven, Fey/Faery, and Tuatha. In my perception those are three different things in essence, but they have similarities and overlaps. I think the Tuatha originally came here from elsewhere, and when they went Underground they merged with a Sidhe people who were already there, and with whom they had already had relations. There are also many earthen Fae who were here before/along the Tuatha, and races of Elves.

For me, I feel I am faery and I am sidhe, but I am not Tuatha or elven. I am not a "diminished" Tuatha... I am what I am. But I feel some cousinhood with the Tuatha, which would line up with the idea that they blended into the Sidhe that were already "here". But also I feel I may be a halfbreed with faery, something looked down on among the Sidhe who were/are concerned with bloodlines and ethnicity.
