“Song of Awakening” from The Magical Elven Love Letters by The Silver Elves

“Song of Awakening” from 
The Magical Elven Love Letters, Volume 2 
by The Silver Elves

     So continuing with our series on The Magical Elven Love Letters. . . .

   The letters in Volume 2 were some of The Silver Elves’ most popular letters of the three volumes and give the reader an experiential understanding of what it is to be an elf and enter the realm of Faerie and Magick.  Today we Silver Elves are sharing a letter titled “Song of Awakening” from The Magical Elven Love Letters, Volume 2, which was initially sent out to our elfae kindred by snail mail prior to the onset of the internet in the 1990s. Enjoy!

“Letter 56 … Song of Awakening” 

“Compassion… Beloved Elfin,” 

“… is one the most difficult virtues for many elfin to learn and may very well be the reason a good many of us incarnated in fragile physicality. The most ancient of our kind came from a realm where we were immortal and our bodies etheric were nearly indestructible. When we first came in contact with man, it was somewhat hard for us to appreciate not only how fragile he was, particularly because he seemed such a big solid growing thing and also how very terrified he really was of the possibility of death and dying, i.e. pain. We hate to admit it but we were and sometimes still are rather callous to mankind’s plight… even, in our ignorant youth, at times laughing at the suffering and tragedy of man. It is sometimes only the stinging realization that we now are also subject to the possibility of such terrors that snaps us back to “reality”.”

“It is no wonder that human writers have often described our folk as being cold and soulless. But soulless we are not. We have feelings deep and true, we have visions, pure and farsighted, and we have memories of a life long past when we lived in the seemingly eternal grace of the DIVINE. We were drawn to man in time, they fascinated us. They were so strong and yet so weak, they were terrified of shadows yet inordinately brave and courageous in the face of incalculable odds. Life for them was a mixture of misery and ecstasy, drudgery and high fantastic adventure. We, perhaps, had become a little jaded by that time and seeing how man grasped life so… made us want it anew. Yet, it was compassion that ultimately brought us down into the physical plane. We thought that by mixing with men we could uplift them, which we did, but we did not calculate how very much we would enjoy this world, become, as it were, addicted to its pleasures and yes, for some, its pains.” 

“The great elven sage and seer Buddha proclaimed that in order to escape this realm we need only relinquish desire. And, yes, we have heard from many kin who wish to be free of this world… yet that very desire to be rid of it binds them to it. Oh, cruel world this that like a spider’s web wraps you tighter the more you struggle to be free. There are others of us, however, who wish not so much to be free of this world but to master it. Nurturing our magic until it grows here with the abandon it does Elsewhere. The irony is that in order to do that, we must ultimately also free ours’elves from the desire to have it so. We must work at it, of course, but then we must sit back and wait and allow Faerie to weave its wonders unobstructed. In this world effort is almost everything but the nature of Faerie is in many ways antithetical to this… for Faerie is ruled not by work but by play. Faerie is a realm powered not by hard cold logic but by fantastic imagination. To merge these two realms involves embracing the ETERNAL TAO, the GREAT PARADOX of manifestation. We must do without trying, we must be without doing. We must trust without knowing yet with an inner certainty that all will be fulfilled.”

“Faerie is and we become. As we struggle to create Faerie; it, like mist, remains forever beyond our grasp. But as we live Faerie, live our lives as elves and pixies, brownies and gnomes… Faerie manifests within us and in time around us affecting the SPACE/TIME continuum, shifting us from one parallel realm to another until we find one day the trees shimmering like stars… a light sparkling in the eyes of everyone we meet and the ecstatic joy of every breath. To man this seems a dream, a fantasy that will never or can never happen or be, or as he perceives time, will be so long from now as to be irrelevant to his life. But for the elfin, time moves differently, past, present and future all merges into one, the eternal possibility of every moment. We live our dreams and by doing so create that world man thinks does not even exist.”

“Yet, the more we become in tune with our true s’elves, the more we are manifesting living Elfin, the greater the power we have and the greater the effect upon everyone we come in contact with. Man and other races cannot help but be effected by our presence, our being, our magic, just as we, for our part cannot live in the world of Man and not be effected and take into account the power of his manifest being and outlook. There are those who would like to totally separate thems’elves from man and we can certainly understand their point of view but it is an occult truth that we cannot affect anyone unless we ourselves are ready and open to being influenced. Shall we become like the Amish, suspended in time? We think not. WE are here not simply to create our own world but to help transform this one, to ease mankind to a more gentle and ‘dancey’ approach to life and to awaken him to his own destiny, which is, like ours, Here among the Stars!” 

“As difficult as it is, we must open ours’elves to this world, not simply our minds for indeed having an open mind is a very elven trait, but also our hearts… we must feel the world and all its suffering in order to heal it. However, having an open heart does not mean simply allowing ours’elves to be overwhelmed by the madness of the world any more than having an open mind means that you have to agree with everything you hear or read. Having an open heart implies the power of discrimination and even more so the power to transform raw feeling into transcendental peace and bliss. Oh, we know that not all elfin are ready for this step. It demands true mastery over ones’elf and one’s feelings. But it is the direction we are headed toward. A place and a power where we do not simply react to the world in a tit for tat manner but infuse it with living transformative energy. But this we can only do if we, ours’elves are willing to transform.” 

“Oh, tis true we could wait for man to change on his own, How many millennia do you have? Or we could wait for our kin to come from outer space, but then, we are already here. No, while patience is something we are always striving to develop. We are long past waiting. We have come to awaken Elfin and with every breath we Sing the Song of Awakening.”

Kyela,

“FACTS ABOUT ELFIN: THE MANY TALES THAT SAY THAT WE ELVES KIDNAP MORTALS AND KEEP THEM IMPRISONED IN FAERIE AGAINST THEIR WILL ARE UTTERLY FALSE. ONE CAN NOT STAY IN FAERIE UNLESS THEIR WHOLE HEART DESIRES IT.”

(End of excerpt from The Magical Elven Love Letters, Volume 2 )

We Silver Elves have been living and sharing the Elven Way since 1975. In 1979, we began writing and circulating The Magical Elven Love Letters to our elven community through regular snail mail (no computers at the time). At the time of these letters, modern day elves were just beginning to awaken to their elven soulful nature and we wanted to share our letters at that time to support and encourage those that were beginning to awaken to be true to their individual destiny and to embrace their starry heritage. In time as the decades went on, we were sending them each month to hundreds of people and then to many more later by email as the internet was developed and became more common to use. We stopped writing them once we began writing and publishing books in 2011, but we did continue to a fashion to have them on our blog sites in a question and answer form about the elven way. We have put all of these letters in a three volume series of books on Amazon (The Magical Elven Love Letters, Volume 1, 2, & 3), and are sharing some of these letters in a short series here on this blog site.

We hope you will enjoy reading all three of our books of our Magical Elven Love Letters!

The Magical Elven Love Letters, Volume 1, is composed of the letters that were written by the Silver Elves and sent out via snail mail beginning in 1979 and until the mid nineties before the awakening of the internet. They were written to encourage elves to awaken to their Elfin nature, to be true to their individual destiny, and to embrace their starry heritage. They are filled with Elven Philosophy and observe the world from the point of view of the Elves, which is often quite unique from how most people view and experience the world; and their unique Elven Philosophy of Magic that is often similar and yet distinct from traditional theories and methods of magic. This is the second printing of these letters and they have been slightly modified to increase clarity. They are also interspaced with Elven quotes, axioms, koans and other ancient Elven sayings.

The Magical Elven Love Letters, Volume 2 is our second collection of our love letters, composed principally of 110 of letters sent out by snail mail and later some are our earliest internet letters in the 1990s. You can find samples of these letters on various sites all over the web, for they were some of our most popular letters and have been copied and spread around frequently. It is not necessary to read Volume 1 before reading and enjoying Volume 2. These letters give the reader an experiential understanding of what it is to be an elf and enter the realm of Faerie and Magick. Enjoy!

These letters are filled with Elven Philosophy and observe the world from the point of view of the Elves, which is often quite unique from how most people view and experience the world; and their unique Elven Philosophy of Magic that is often similar and yet distinct from traditional theories and methods of magic. Like the first two volumes, volume 3 is interspaced with Elven quotes, axioms, koans and other ancient Elven sayings. This book is the completion of the trilogy of The Magical Elven Love Letters.

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.

Many Elven Blessings dear Kindred and Friends
