In REFLECTIONS ON THE FAERIE AND ELFIN FOLK, we Silver Elves continue with a volume 7 of our question and answer series addressing the numerous questions about elves and faeries and about living the Elven Way. In this book we address with an elven perspective some questions that have been posed to us throughout our 45+ years of following the elven spiritual path and sharing with the world that we are elves in soulful spirit that have incarnated in human bodies (also see The Magical Realms of Elfin, volume 1; Manifesting Elfin, volume 2; The New Dawn of Elfin, volume 3; Visions of Elfin, volume 4; Elfin Rising, volume 5; and Illuminating Faerie, volume 6).

Reflections on the Faerie and Elfin Folk explores further questions about who the elves are, faerie lore and faerie folk, elfin magic, otherkin and their ever diversifying kintypes, elven culture and lifestyle, and a host of miscellaneous topics about elves and other fae. Some of the specific questions answered in Reflections on the Faerie and Elfin Folk are (there are over 100 altogether in the book): What is unique about being an elf and the Elfin community? Why do we elves seem like contradictory beings, old and young at the same time, sad and filled with delight? How do you know your elfae memories/beliefs are truly yours and you aren’t subconsciously pulling things from pop culture or other sources of media? What are Tolkien elves vs. other elves? Do Elves always have long hair? Do we elves recognize each other when we first meet, even if we’re total strangers? Who are the true elves? Does rh negative blood signify the elven bloodline? How tall are elves? Are we elves associated with Atlanteans and Lemurians? Do you need to be in Nature to be attuned to your elvish soul and spirit? Are we fae, like men, descended from apes? Is faerie lore fading from the world? Are fae agreements always tricky? What is Fete, Fate, Fee, Fée Fae? Can Faerie Mounds pop up anywhere? Do we elfae kidnap midwives from mankind? Do faeries come from children who died unbaptized? Are eccentrics and odd people, changelings? Are tales of fae based upon the displaced Picts, Britons and Celtic tribes? What is the association of we fae with whirlwinds? If one drinks a faerie drink, will one turn into a faerie? Does bread and salt ward off Faeries? Will turning your pockets inside out keep the faeries away? Can we fae turn leaves into gold? Is Faerie a Perilous Realm? Do we elves need to do magic? Does magic underlie the nature of reality? When is the best time to do magic? Is it okay for those, other than Silver Elves, to use our elven magical language Arvyndase? Do elf witches have a relationship to Hecate? Are there eight signs in the Elven Zodiac? Can your elven soul be stolen? Are Demonkin a valid kintype? What is our reaction to Fictionkin? What are our thoughts on Machine kin? What do we think of Plant-kin? Are the faeries all now gone due to the encroachment of cities? Were the Celts faerie folk? Is there a connection between the words Ferry and Fairy? Are the ethereal and  astral realms different? What is the elven lifestyle in the modern world? What is the best way to dress to express one’s elven identity? What do we think of cultural appropriation? Is the Elven calendar based upon the solstices, equinoxes and mid points? Do elves raise our boy and girl children the same? Does a person who spends a long time with ‘the faeries’ become a faerie? What do we Silver Elves  think of the Unseelie Code? Did elves invent makeup? Why don’t we publish our The Silver Elves books through a major occult publisher?

Most often, a person has questions as one tries: to decide if one is ones’elf an elf or is some otherkin; to understand what it means to be an elf and how one might know of one’s elfin nature; to understand one’s experience of having an Elven Awakening; to determine how elven magic is alike or different from that performed by other spiritual groups; and to learn about how elves live and relate to mankind and otherkin. In the first six volumes of this question and answer book series, we covered numerous questions on the above topics, including a section about which of our Silver Elves’ books to read on various interests about the Elven Way, our magic and about being elfin. So, if you are curious about modern elves, particularly about The Silver Elves (as we do not speak for all elves as elves are quite a varied and independent folk), then you will surely find many of your questions answered in Reflections on the Faerie and Elfin Folk. If you do not see all the questions that you have about the elves addressed in this volume 7, be sure and check the first six books in this series, as your questions may well be included in those books.

For some further reading on the Elven Way, we suggest:

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.”

(quote on the top of the book cover of The Elven Way)

THE ELVEN WAY: The Magical Path of the Shining Ones describes the Mystical, Magical, Spiritual Path of the Elf folk and their connection to the Shining Ones, those supra-dimensional beings who are our guides, guardians, ancient kindred and the source of Elven enlightenment. The Elven Way takes the reader beyond the field of the known and lays the road into the forest of unknown, revealing new, wonderful and exciting secrets about the world of Magic, the Path of the Elves and the rich Elven heritage. This book is about High Elven Spirituality and Magick, the philosophy of the Elven Way, and the teachings of the Elves. It is written for all elves and all those interested in learning more about and following the Elven Path, for advanced Elven adepts and magical folk of all kinds. The Elven Way reveals much about the Shining Ones, who are the ancient elves and our guardians, our Eldars, who are highly advanced and divine beings that help and protect the modern Elven folk today. It explores both the psychological and the spiritual component of the Elven folk and the development of this component! The Elven Way provides a vast reservoir of knowledge about how this world is arranged and how it works, who the elves are, and what is the Elven Spiritual Path!

“The Way of the Elfin awakens our heart,
it quiets our mind and that’s just the start,
it stirs our spirit and deepens our soul
and weaves its magic to make our lives whole.”

There are also lots of large enclosed or screened in porches off the main house (where you will find: Magical Books of the Silver Elves, Elfin Faerie Lore, Elven Life and Magic and We Adore Elves); there are also two gazebos, one is outside in the front lawn for Elvish Magical Chat and the other is in the back yard for I heart Elven Magic; an open circle outside around the bonfire to the side of the house for the Elf Witches of the Mystic Moon group; a quaint tree house out front for Elfae Tree Folk to meet; a faerie circle that is a bit beyond the back of the house in the forest for The Faerie Circle group to meet; and at the front gate is a cozy elfae cottage for those first entering to be greeting in the group Silver Elves Embassy. There is also a path from the house that wanders down to the creek and goes through where the group Nature and the Unseen Realms with the Elves and Otherkin meet and also that leads to meeting placesfor United Otherkin Alliance and its private sister group.
