What most folks would call angels, we Silver Elves call the Shining Ones, although they are really quite different in some important ways we will explain in this article. The Shining Ones are our elven ancestors who have evolved through time, advanced in their magic, and matured in their spiritual development and have progressed to more powerful and more subtle dimensions of being, where they are not only closer to the heart of Elfin but are in realms where their thoughts and intentions are more quickly realized and manifested and thus they are more magically powerful. They do not need, in the way that we do, the buffer that exists between our thoughts and magical realization. Their thoughts are clearer, more focused and much less inclined toward the inner conflict and debate that many of us in these more material seeming realms encounter. And the fulfillment of their wishes can be nearly instantaneous, whereas ours may take a while, but that is generally for our own good until we have more precise control over our own wills and thoughts. The Shining Ones are more on the line of Tolkien’s conception of elves in their most advanced stages than most of we elven currently manifesting upon the Earth are as yet able to be.
Unlike the concept of angels, who are created ‘as is’ by their god and are ever unchanging, unless they fail to obey and therefore go ‘bad’, the Shining Ones were once rather like us. Once children, so to speak, and we, for our own part, will eventually evolve to the point of being much like they are now. Of course, by that point, it is quite possible that they will have evolved even further and will be deeper or closer to the source that is the Divine Magic from which all things arise and which connects all that is. Thus the Divine Magic may be defined, quite rightly, as love. Which is why, to the elves, love and magic are seen as being nearly synonymous.
Elves don’t, for the most part, have the idea, which so many egocentric individuals have, that the Shining Ones are our personal Guardian Angels. Which is to say, we don’t believe there is one angel/Shining One who is assigned to follow us around our entire lives and guide us. There are Shining Ones who are related to us and by that we mean really related in this sense that they are our relatives, our ancestors, cousins and siblings, in a manner of speaking, and so forth and they do look out for us, as say our parents may look out for us when we are very young. But the more evolved we become, the older we get in a sense, the less they need to watch over us and the more responsibility we assume for our own lives and evolution.
And as we proceed even further, we assume responsibility not only for our s’elves but for our others as well and in doing that we truly begin to step into the realms of the Shining Ones and become as they are. This is the way to Elfin evolution. The way to the evolution of our s’elves as individual soulful spirits and the way by which elves may attain the true royalty of our heritage. Would you be a Shining One? Take care of your others. Would you be an Elf Lord or Lady, Elfin Prince or Princess, Elvish King or Queen, look after all of your kindred, nurture, support and empower them. Would you be a great spirit? A great soul? An Elfae wizard, druid, wise one? Do all that you can to foster our kindred, each and everyone, and the elfae nature in everyone and live your life in such a way as to be an example of true elfinness on each and every day. This is the Elven Way. This is the path into the realms of the Angelic Shining Ones.

What Kind of Elf or Otherkin Are You?
And What is Your Elfae or Otherkin Tribe?
For years various kindred have asked us, the Silver Elves, to help them figure this out. You probably know if you are an elf, faerie, or otherkin but now we’ve created a questionnaire in order to help us and you create a narrative together about your specific people and your clan, their personal characteristics, magic, relationship to Nature, and interests. This is our gift to you (free), which we think will be a bit of fun for both of us. Give us five minutes of your time and we will give you a half hour to forty minutes of ours and send you your unique magical narrative. Simply follow this link and the directions on the page: http://silverelves.angelfire.com/HAelfkin.html
If you enjoyed this article, then you may surely enjoy our book THE SHINING ONES !
The Elfin Spirits That Guide You According to
Your Birth Date and the Evolutionary Lessons They Offer
The Shining Ones don’t really guide our lives individually but rather offer us lessons in magic and evolution as individuals, which is to say they have many students but tailor their teaching to the needs, aspirations and visions of each one. They are teachers who offer instruction and the courses you are offered are based in part on the day you were born, the period of the month and the month you were born in. Or really, you were born on a certain day because you are assigned to a certain required course. If you wish to further you relationship with those High Elven spirits who have gone before us, this book will help show you the way.
In reading this book, you will find that there is both a Shining One for each month, as well as a Shining One for each ten degrees of the zodiac, as well as a Shining One for each degree. Be sure and read all three of these that are associated with your or your loved ones particular birth date. For some excerpts and more about this book, please go to: http://silverelves.angelfire.com/HAshiningones.html
And Something for Diviners to check out!
The Silver Elves have several original Elven divination systems that have been created to be used
by Elfae and all other interested diviners, including The Elven Star Oracle,
Elven Geomancy, and our most recent oracle system:
STICKS AND STONES, FEATHERS, CHARMS AND BONES:
An Original Oracle of the Elfin Peoples of the Ancient Future
STICKS AND STONES, FEATHERS,CHARMS AND BONES:
An Original Oracle of the Elfin Peoples of the Ancient Future
by The Silver Elves
This original oracle system uses the Sacred Magical Treasures of The Silver Elves as a base. There are ten of these Sacred Magical Treasures of The Silver Elves in all: The Orb of Healing, The Wand of Wishing, The Coin of the Realm, The Feather of Truth Telling, The Magic Mirror of Reflection, The Sack of Giving, The Philtre of True Love, The Phial of Eternal Youth, The Elf Horns of Calling and the The Torch of the Eternal Silver Flame.
You may ask of the oracle to give you a general reading of what is to come in your life, in which case you will use all the tokens. Or you may wish to ask a very specific question, like, “What is my power in this situation?” In which case, you may wish to only use the Personal Charm. Or you may ask, “In what fashion will the spirits help me?” and then the Otherworldly Charm might be best. Or if you want to know what is behind the situation, what karma or fate has brought you to this circumstance, then the Small Stone might be the wisest choice. But for a balanced reading, it is perhaps best to throw all the magical objects, either together or one at a time to see the various aspects of the situation and get a full view of what is going on.
