“Were we once elementals? Surely, we were. We may well have been also fertilized eggs, that grew into a frog-like shape floating in a sort of aquatic environment of amniotic fluid and so on. We have developed as spirits and continue to do so. Growing more aware, more conscious, more intelligent, more experienced (Universal Street Smarts) and more magical as elfae beings. And as we live our lives consciously and intentionally as the elfae we truly are, we increase this magic and it’s power manifesting Elfin and Faerie upon the Earth and among the Stars as we were ever meant to do. And in doing so, evolve even more and more quickly. So, beloved, be your true elfae s’elf and help others to do the same, for we are on a great quest and adventure that extends through the lifetimes and throughout the Universe.”
If you read the esoteric teachings and theories of Blavatsky in The Secret Doctrine, vols. 1 & 2 (which is essentially formed from her interpretation of esoteric Buddhist lore), then the theory is that all beings that are currently incarnate and those that have evolved beyond physical manifestation for the most part into the realms of the Shining Ones, have progressed through every level of physical manifestation. Rather like that game that parents sometimes (or used before mobile video games) play with their young children on long road trips, called Animal, Vegetable and Mineral. This is to say that we, as spirit, in order to gain mastery over the physical plane, which is also to say master our ability to shape matter and incarnate within it in a conscious fashion, have and continue to go through the series of incarnations into various forms. Usually seen in a progressive fashion as first mineral, then vegetative, then animal developing into humanoid form and beyond that ethereal being with increasing consciousness and awareness. This is all theory, of course, but it is a theory that is not only rooted in the esoteric lore of Asian peoples but also very much reflected in the beliefs of Western peoples, and particularly to be found in faerie legend and lore.
Faerie folk are often accorded by lore to be nature spirits or associated with elementals of various sorts. Gnomes are said to be earth spirits or earth elementals. Undines (which are a type of water faerie like mermaids, naiads and nixies) are water elementals. Sylphs (which are a sort of faerie) are air elementals, although some people call them zephyrs. And salamanders (not sure how they got in there) are fire spirits although some magicians associate them with djinn (see Helping Yourself with White Witchcraft by Al. G. Manning). Having salamanders among these faerie spirits is rather like having various types of apples associated with the other elementals and then having an orange linked to fire.
For our own part, we Silver Elves don’t associate the elementals with earth, water, air and fire but rather with states of being, thus solid, liquid, gaseous and plasma (see our book The Elements of Elven Magic: A New View of Calling the Elementals Based Upon the Periodic Table of Elements), but that fits perfectly with our view that we are primarily spirits manifesting in humanoid bodies and are only temporarily physical beings evolving toward eventually becoming beings that manifest in bodies of light in a world of our creation that is very much like lucid dreaming. It is still an illusion (as Buddhist would define it) like the material world, but an illusion more of our own creation.
The idea that we elfae were or could still be more elemental in our being and that we may evolve through various levels of manifestation can also be seen in the legends of the Cait Sith or cat fae and the cù-sìth, singular, and coin-sìth, plural, who are faerie dogs. You will also note the various púca (pooka, phouka) that are shapeshifting fae and become dogs, cats, rabbits (see the 1950’s film Harvey with Jimmy Stewart) or whatever but seem to have a particular fondness, according to the lore, for being horses (see Faery in Shadow by C. J. Cherryh). Although, here we may also find Groot’s friend, the quite clever racoon being Rocket of comic book and movie fame.
As far as vegetative life, there are a number of trees that have been strongly associated with faerie folk and numerous herbs and plants as well, but there are also the wood nymphs, dryads and other tree and plant spirits that are faerie creatures that are associated with vegetable life. In modern times in science fiction and fantasy, we have Groot and Tolkien’s Ents as conscious tree spirits.
In terms of the mineral world, it is dwarves due to their caves that we find so powerfully associated with the rock, stone, crystal and gem world, but also trolls, who are sometimes said to turn into stone if exposed to light and mountain giants who are essentially rock people, which is to say mobile rocks. And in the superhero world we have The Thing, called Ben Grimm in his human form of the Fantastic Four.
For our own part, we Silver Elves have always seen all of life as being, each in their own way, conscious. Rocks may not have the same consciousness as we have obtained, but have their own sort of consciousness that will grow and evolve in time, just as ours did. All of life surely is imbued with the Divine Magic, in potential, and all of life is moving toward its perfected, which is to say, most magical state of being. We are not born ‘as is’ as some religious doctrines proclaim, live our lives then die and go to heaven or hell forever, but continually are evolving, learning and growing spirits.
Were we once elementals? Surely, we were. We may well have been also fertilized eggs, that grew into a frog-like shape floating in a sort of aquatic environment of amniotic fluid and so on. We have developed as spirits and continue to do so. Growing more aware, more conscious, more intelligent, more experienced (Universal Street Smarts) and more magical as elfae beings. And as we live our lives consciously and intentionally as the elfae we truly are, we increase this magic and it’s power manifesting Elfin and Faerie upon the Earth and among the Stars as we were ever meant to do. And in doing so, evolve even more and more quickly. So, beloved, be your true elfae s’elf and help others to do the same, for we are on a great quest and adventure that extends through the lifetimes and throughout the Universe.

Many people ask us which of our 60+ Silver Elves books on Elven Philosophy and Magic and The Elven Way to begin reading first and so we say, which ever sounds right to you, follow your elven intuition, as there is really no right order! You may wish to visit our Sample Our Books page on our Silver Elves website and read through the excerpts on each book. But if you would like a suggestion, you may wish to begin with one or more of these four books:
1. Through The Mists Of Faerie: A Magical Guide to the Wisdom Teachings of the Ancient Elven This is our most popular book and one we highly recommend reading by anyone interested in elves, elven magic, elven lifestyle, elven awakening and the Elven Way.
2. The Elven Way: The Magical Path of the Shining Ones This is a companion book to Through the Mists of Faerie, but may be read in any order. It is also a very popular book and a good one to start with.
. . . to learn more about the Elven Way and magical path of the elves, you may enjoy reading: The Elven Way: The Magical Path of The Shining Ones
“The Elven Way passes beyond the fields of the known
into the forest of the unknown
illuminated by the glow of the elves.”
(From the cover below)
3. The Book of Elven Runes: A Passage Into Faerie
This is not the Norse Runes but our own original elven rune divination system. It consists of 40 runes. The book is 130 pages with photos and illustrations that feature each rune and explain the rune system, how to make your own set of runes (runestones not included), and the interpretation for each of the runes.
5. The Magical Realms of Elfin: Answers to Questions About Being an Elf and Following the Elven Path.
If you have questions about The Elven Way and being an elf, then you may also wish to read The Magical Realms of Elfin: Answers to Questions About Being an Elf and Following the Elven Path. If you are curious about elves and want to learn more about modern elves, then you will surely find The Magical Realms of Elfin to contain many of your questions answered and it will be a great comfort and help in finding your way home to the magical realms of Elfin.

Enter here the Elven Tree of Life Eternal
We also offer this same experience in book form: The Elven Tree of Life Eternal: A Magical Quest for Our True S’Elf.
. . . . And we also invite you to read about one of our newest published book. . . THE FAERIE SONG ORACLE: The Elven Way of Singing Down Magic of the Fae is so named because it is an original elfin oracle system based upon the solfège or solfeggio system, also called solfa, solfeo, which is used as a music education method in the West to teach aural skills, pitch and the sight-reading of the music scale. That scale is Do, Re, Me, Fa, Sol or So, La and Te, with another Do representing a higher octave, at the end. We have presented these notes in this oracle according to the way they would be spelled in Arvyndase, which is the Silver Elves magical elfin language. And, therefore, these musical sounds/notes would be spelled: DO, RAE, ME, FA, SOL, LA, and TE, which as you can see only differs in one instance. The pronunciation, however, is the same. The Faerie Song Oracle book is meant to be used as an oracle, but it is also a book of magic. Thus, the sounds can be sung together to create a particular magic that either heightens the power of a boon or dispels unwanted influences. The Silver Elves associate these notes with each of the points of the seven-pointed acute angled Elven Star that many people call the Faerie Star. For each oracle reading, you will be drawing two notes. So you might consider that in drawing the faerie song oracle you are dealing with the power of two of the points of the elven star combined (each point signified by a different note) or one of the points in its pure form (if both of the notes that you draw are the same, as say when you get Rae-Rae as a response). The second Rae can be sung on a higher octave evoking a raising or increase of that power. THE FAERIE SONG ORACLE is found here for purchase on Amazon USA
