We Silver Elves are happy to announce the publication of our book Finding Faerie:
Answers to Questions About Being an Elf and Following the Elven Path, Volume 8!!!

In FINDING FAERIE, we Silver Elves continue with a volume 8 of our question and answer series addressing 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.

Finding Faerie explores questions often asked about the magical realms of Faerie and Elfin; the types and characteristics of elves, elfae (a word we Silver Elves coined some decades ago to include elves and all other fae of the Faerie Realm) lifestyle, values and culture; Faerie realm magic and magical studies; The Faeries and Otherkin; and some miscellaneous topics from an elven perspective. Some of the specific questions answered in Finding Faerie are (there are over 100 altogether in the book): Does time flow differently in Faerie? Is there evil in Elfin and Faerie? Does the moon have its own Faerie Realm? Are we elfae descended from nature spirits, the dead or minor gods of antiquity? Do some elfae live in the sky realms? Is it a law of Faerie that if a normal human offers we elfae a bargain, we have to accept it no matter how poor or unjust the trade may be? Is there a Wheel of Fortune in Faerie that only kindness turns? Are the words of power in Faerie the words of love? Is there one king over all kings in Faerie? If a human eats human food after eating faerie food and stops eating faerie food, can they escape from Faerie? Are there as some say five branches to the elven race, being aquatic, gray, high, dark and wood? Do sea elves live beneath the sea? Do we elves have high born and low born? Do we elves have a keen sense of hearing? Are we elves able to communicate with each other telepathically? Are we elves animal whisperers? Do elves sleep? Do we elves become adults after a hundred years? Do we elves have infravision? Do we elfae have the power to make ours’elves invisible? Are we elfae compulsive dancers? Do we elves smoke? Are elven vortexes (covens) hierarchical? What do we think of those elfae who wish to ‘war’ on humanity? Do we elves like to travel around in flocks? Do crosses banish us Elven? Do we elfae tend to live in bands instead of as couples? Are all elves proficient at swordplay and archery? Are we elfae notably conservative and opposed to innovation? Can you break curses with an elven star? How do we Silver Elves cast magical spells? Is one of the secrets of Faerie magic to wish well? How do you know when a sign or omen is genuine? How do you keep your magic from having negative effects on others? What is the difference between Willing and Wishing? Are we elves magic by nature or do we need to do magic? How do you recognize when a stranger is also otherkin? Do faeries die? Does a four-leaf clover allow one to see elfae? If a tree sprite leaves its tree and walks among humans will it become human, unable ever to return? Are the Therians and other animal folk magical beings? Is Sylvan the language of dryads and pixies? Are elfae older than the oldest gods of mythological record? Did we elves teach the trees to speak? Are we elfae the caretakers and guardians of the dead? Are those who manifested as elfae and then leave the Elven Path and never return really elfae?

Most often, a person has questions as one tries: to decide if one is ones’elf an elf, faerie 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 seven 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 and faeries, 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 Finding Faerie. If you do not see all the questions that you have about the elves addressed in this volume 8, be sure and check the first seven books in this series, as your questions may well be included in those books (see (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); and Reflections on the Faerie and Elfin Folk, volume 7).

“When we hear you laughing in the distance,
we release all our resistance,
and edging closer we hope you’ll see
that we are kindly folk faerie.
And if you join us, soon you’ll know
that elvish magic in you grow,
and blossom forth adore the world
and thus our elfin flag’s unfurled.”

Can your Elfin Soul be Stolen?

“. . . . no one can steal your soul. They can project harmful magic toward you. They can block your spells and do other nefarious things, but our reaction to those events is ultimately in our own power, as Buddha has so often informed us. Not that doing so is easy. It requires incredible development of spirit and soul but that maturity of one’s soulful spirit also increases one’s magical power and one’s ability to influence the world around them and to shape the world according to one’s own vision. It takes practice and effort, especially an effort to overcome habits of behavior, attitude and thought gleamed from others when one is very young, in the form of introjects, as Object Relations Psychology tells us. At the same time, it is well worth the effort for it is a primary step toward having the power to affect the psychological world around one and the ambience of that world and by doing so increase one’s power to manifest one’s vision into reality. . . . “

(art collage above made for The Silver Elves by Nickolay Learmonth)

This came as a question in one of our Silver Elves Facebook groups and the answer is quite simply, no. No one, despite various stories, novels, movies and television shows that might proclaim otherwise can steal your soul. Or your spirit for that matter. But we should add that what most people call soul, we Silver Elves define as spirit anyway.

Soul to us involves our connection to and interaction with others, which is also to say the Universe around us and that includes, of course, the unseen world. Soul for us is an aspect of feeling. It is not who we are, that is our spirit, but the emanation of our spirit and the reception of the energies of other spirits. Soul, for us, is a type of communication sense, like sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. If our spirit is a star, our soul is the process of radiating light from that star but also, sensing, picking up and being influenced by the radiance of other stars. No one can steal your soul, because after all, we are sharing it freely and in giving it away it only grows stronger.

It’s rather like using one’s muscles. The more one exercises one’s muscles the stronger they become. The more we share our soulfulness, the more soulful we become. You want our soul? Take all you can get. But understand that soul, especially elvish soul, is infectious. If you take our soul, you become more like us. It’s inevitable.

Of course, we can deaden our own souls. This would be to lose our sense of life and to become depressed. Or we can lose our compassion for others, which also deadens the soul. And surely there are others who, unfortunately, feel so inadequate in their own selves that they envy our soulfulness to the point where they wish us to suffer and be as miserable as they are. However, that doesn’t take our soul, for suffering can in some cases make people even more soulful. It may be a sad soul, but a very deep one.

There are witches and practitioners of Hoodoo and sorcerers and others who will attempt to capture a person’s spirit (or soul to their minds) in a bottle and keep it on a shelf in their basement or some other place. However, that doesn’t really steal the person’s soul/spirit but merely may limit it in some way. It is like putting them in jail for a while. Still, truly powerful magicians are adept at jailbreaks and cannot be bound for long.

And here’s the important thing. It all depends upon whether the person really deserves to be imprisoned. For those who are truly innocent, even when captured, are ever free in their spirits and souls. And the karma for harming an innocent can be severe. So, in the long run, those who unfairly ‘bottle’ another’s soul are really limiting their own s’elves and their own magic, especially if they are harming those who have done nothing to deserve it.

This is also rather like the notion that is so common in popular lore of ‘selling one’s soul to the devil’ in exchange for achieving worldly success. We Silver Elves have written on this subject elsewhere but our point here is that a demon cannot take your soul unless you willingly give it to them in barter. And, of course, a demonic entity doesn’t actually get your soul or spirit, that belongs to the Divine Magic, it just doesn’t want you to have a soulful spirit, which is to say have compassion for others.

So, beloved, no one can steal your soul. They can project harmful magic toward you. They can block your spells and do other nefarious things, but our reaction to those events is ultimately in our own power, as Buddha has so often informed us. Not that doing so is easy. It requires incredible development of spirit and soul but that maturity of one’s soulful spirit also increases one’s magical power and one’s ability to influence the world around them and to shape the world according to one’s own vision. It takes practice and effort, especially an effort to overcome habits of behavior, attitude and thought gleamed from others when one is very young, in the form of introjects, as Object Relations Psychology tells us. At the same time, it is well worth the effort for it is a primary step toward having the power to affect the psychological world around one and the ambience of that world and by doing so increase one’s power to manifest one’s vision into reality.

No one can steal your soul or spirit but if you neglect them, they will atrophy. Although, you can always build them back up again. So, exercise your spirit and soul regularly, feed them well and let the magic flow naturally from your being. After all, you are elfae, aren’t you? And, therefore, naturally magical. You just need to increase that magic in every way you can.

“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).  

 

Arvyndase is a complete, beautiful magical elven language of the Silver Elves with over 30,000 words (see our Arvyndase language book and complete dictionary of Arvyndase). Many of the words mean entire experiences in Nature.

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.

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!

Are tales of elfae based upon the displaced Picts, Britons and Celtic tribes? And what is the association of we elves with whirlwinds?

    

“. . . .we elfae are ethereal beings in the sense that we are energetic beings or spirits but that we also have and had a material manifestation, as most ancient tales about us proclaim. We were and are real people with a genuine culture (diverse though it is) rather in our way like the ancient Celtic tribal peoples, whom we Silver Elves, at least, and surely others of our kind, embrace as our ancient elven kindred along with many other tribal peoples of ancient days. . . . “

     There was a suggestion posited in Barbara Rieti’s scholarly accumulation of faerie tales in Strange Terrain that stories about us elfae are actually based upon people’s encounters with we elfin folk back when we were displaced from our homes and forests at those times that we were incarnated as Picts (pict-sidhe/pixie), Britons and other Celtic tribal peoples. And those folks may have been physically smaller than the mannish invaders and thus arises the idea of us being little or wee folk. Or perhaps, in fact, we were overcome by them because they had some bit of technological superiority (such as steel/iron) or merely overwhelmed us with their vast numbers as happened to the First Nations People of the Americas. For while we believe in birth control, the normal folk don’t really seem to do so. Since they tend to be dominator cultures that lose many of their people in war, they ever seek to breed like crazy and keep their numbers up. It is all more cannon fodder to their minds.

This, by the way, is an attempt to take we elfae folk and therefore fairy tales away from being considered as mere fiction or ‘tall tales’ into the realms of actuality which lends validity to our culture to the minds of some folk. This notion posits the idea that we are and were real people, whose tribes have been mostly forgotten having been in many cases subsumed by other cultures that came to dominate us. However, it would mean we elfae had a real and genuine presence in the ancient world and still do today even though our culture goes predominately unrecognized and often ridiculed in the modern world.

Certainly, the fact that this would tend to give validity to our culture would be appealing to those modern elfae who often seek to prove the genuineness of their elfae being by declaring a bloodline lineage to the Scythians or other elfae tribes of old. For our own part, we Silver Elves see ours’elves as elven spirits that can be born into any particular bloodline we choose that will prove effective for our quest in any chosen incarnation. However, we don’t deny the idea that there were real elvish fae peoples, upon which the myths, legends and tales are based, that are our spiritual if not always genetic ancestors.

And while fiction and tall tales obviously do exist in the world, many stories of ancient peoples are passed on from generation to generation about real encounters with those peoples that get exaggerated and hyperbolized and even mythologized over time. This can be seen somewhat in the fact that many of the various people relating true accounts of we elfae folk and encounters with us are merely reporting the same tale over again only slightly altered. They frequently report it as a true tale although they didn’t themselves experience the encounter but heard of it from someone else who told them it was true. The fact that their tale is in essence and often in detail nearly identical to other tales that were presumable experienced by others is merely to say that sometimes the same sort of thing happens more than once and that oral history, which is what these faerie tales are, is often passed on in a long tradition that gets altered slightly with the teller’s memory and sometimes fancy.

Certainly some, perhaps many, tales about we elfae folk are made up. But it is our opinion that many of them, even those that have been made up out of ‘whole cloth’ as the saying goes, have been created from elven silk and velvet, lace and the gossamer weaves of Faerie. This is to say that they didn’t come entirely out of nowhere. Although, if someone wishes to believe that these tales come from pure air, we would remind them that we elfae folk, especially the faeries, are seen as being airy creatures. This point of view accords well with that of those who think that we elfae folk are mere ethereal beings.

For our own part, we’d say that we elfae are ethereal beings in the sense that we are energetic beings or spirits but that we also have and had a material manifestation, as most ancient tales about us proclaim. We were and are real people with a genuine culture (diverse though it is) rather in our way like the ancient Celtic tribal peoples, whom we Silver Elves, at least, and surely others of our kind, embrace as our ancient elven kindred along with many other tribal peoples of ancient days.

So, are tales about us based on authentic stories passed down about Picts, Britons, Gauls, Celts, Scythians, Bretons, Daione Sidhe, Tuatha de Danann and others? Yes, they are. For we elfae are, we have been and by the grace of the Divine Magic, we will continue to be very real.

What is the association of we elfae with whirlwinds?

Some of the individuals that Barbara Rieti interviewed for her accumulation of fairy folklore tales in Strange Terrain suggested that there was a connection between we elfae folk and whirlwinds, which when we were children our parents referred to as ‘dust devils’. The idea that we elfae are linked to whirlwinds would give us an association with the djinn of Middle Eastern lore, who are also supernatural beings and thus, to our minds at least, linked to the Faerie worlds. Although, if you wanted to have Faerie as a subcategory of a greater category of Supernatural, just as we consider Elfin as a subdivision of Faerie, we quite understand.

We for our part view djinn as being a sort of faerie folk of the Middle Eastern cultures and we might note two things in reference to this. The first is that djinn are often viewed as being demonic beings in the same fashion that Christianity declared for long ages that we elfae folk were really demons. Although, we should point out that Islam holds that the djinn can find redemption through Allah, just as any other soul can and thus the djinn are not necessarily evil in the Islamic religious philosophy.

The other thing we may consider is that the famous Fairy Flag of the Clan MacLeod bears with it the legend that it was given to members of that Clan when they were Crusaders in the Middle East. It seems quite possible that the faerie folk that gifted that magical flag to the MacLeods were, in fact, djinn (see our book Jesus Christ Elf Lord in reference to both these connections).

Djinn are often seen as manifesting through dust storms or pillars of fire, burning bushes, etc. And like we elfae folk, they are frequently seen as being somewhat ethereal in nature. The fact that individuals in Newfoundland (where the stories in Strange Terrain were experienced, passed on and collected) who conveyed what they considered true tales of encounters with faeries also saw we elfae folk as being associated with whirlwinds links us even closer to the djinn. Of course, in those tales, this usually involved apotropaic acts such as avoiding whirlwinds for the very reason that we elfae are associated with them. Just as we Silver Elves were advised by our families to avoid walking under ladders for that would bring us ill luck or not opening umbrellas in the house for that would create a leak in the roof.

However, we don’t know why we elfae would be linked to whirlwinds, other than the fact that there is something just basically supernatural seeming about them. Whirlwinds reminds us of magic and magic always reminds us of we elfae folk and it could be that the same is true of the normal folk as well, or at least the fairy seers among them. We could just as well say that we are linked with storms and thunder and lightning, however, those things are usually regarded as the provenance of the gods. Still, sometimes people seeing us dance have commented that we elfae were ‘dancing up a storm’.

We Silver Elves do have a habit of putting forth a blessing when we see a ‘dust devil’ so it will help us distribute our magic. The little whirlwind being a sort of a postal worker of the more ethereal realms. Take this blessing and deliver it to whomever you think most needs it or most deserves it or just fling it off as you go and we’ll see who encounters it.

Of course, it is always possible that whirlwinds are caused by our dancing. Elderly people use to say in an endearing way to us as children when we were dancing and twirling about the home, “You’re just like a whirlwind.” And after all, we elfae are often said to dancing in circles, commonly seen as going around faster and faster as the dance goes on. Could that not possibly be the cause of a whirlwind? After all, they say that mushrooms spring up in the circle where we have danced, thus the idea of ‘faerie circles.’ So, why wouldn’t our dancing cause whirlwinds? We rather like that idea. The fact that it has no scientific basis doesn’t daunt us at all. We are used to things that cannot be explain scientifically. It is not that we have anything against science. We are rather fond of it really. But there are things that simply don’t lend thems’elves easily to scientific confirmation. And, let’s face it, we elfae folk are among those things.

Besides, while considering our dancing as being the cause of whirlwinds may not be a scientific truth, it is a poetic truth. And in Elfin and Faerie poetic truths carry great weight. We don’t disregard scientific facts, but there are things that are not entirely within science’s purview and art and love and magic and certainly things Faerie are among them.

How Do We Elves Relate to the Seasonal Courts of Faerie?
https://silverelves.wordpress.com/2021/06/26/how-do-we-elves-relate-to-the-seasonal-courts-of-faerie

 

Many Kindred have asked us what is “The Elven Way.” Although we have written books on it (see our book The Elven Way: The Magical Path of the Shining Ones), here below is our short definition:

Short definition of “The Elven Way” by The Silver Elves

“The Elven Way is the spiritual path of the Elves. It is not a religion. While all elves are free to pursue whatever spiritual path they desire, or not as the case may be, The Silver Elves are magicians and follow no particular religious dogma. We do however believe in all the Gods and Goddesses, (also Santa Claus [to whom we’re related], the tooth fairy [distant cousins] and the Easter or Ostara Bunny [no relation]) and try to treat them all with due respect. The Elven Way promotes the principles of Fairness, that is to say both Justice, Elegance and Equal Opportunity and Courtesy that is respectful in its interactions and attitude toward all beings, great or small. We understand the world as a magical or miraculous phenomena, and that all beings, by pursuing their own true path, will become whomever they truly desire to be. Our path is that of Love and Magic and we share our way with all sincerely interested individuals.”

“To remind us ever of the need to rise up and lift our others with us, to have compassion for others even those who oppose us, to endeavor to understand the true natures and motivations not only of ours’elves but all others, the Shining Ones send us Sages who appear in many forms, in nearly all cultures and speak though various social and religious philosophies encouraging us to strive toward the light, to seek ever the good of all, and to further spiritual evolution in all that we do. We elves call this the Way of the Fair or The Elven Way. The Path is never-ending, the Way is ever before us, the Choice is always now, and we are eternally evolving. This is the Elven Way. The enculturation and other protections that shield the normal folk from the realization of other dimensions are lifted when the elf steps upon the path and begins to tread the Elven Way. The Elven Way gives our lives meaning and purpose. We come to understand who we truly are, that is that we are spirits evolving and we establish a purpose in our lives, which generally might be expressed as aiding ours’elves and all others to fulfill ours’elves perfectly. That is to say, we become who are truly are, which is who we truly desire to be. Remember, we ever wish to be our own true s’elves as perfectly as possible, which means among other things to be happy and successful forever, to live Happily Ever After.”

“The Elven Way passes beyond the fields of the known
into the forest of the unknown
illuminated by the glow of the elves.”

Why the Faeries Have Not Now All Gone Due to the Encroachment of Cities

“The fact is that the cities haven’t driven us away. Nor has science gotten rid of us either. It is dominator men that tried to eliminate us and the normal folk who still wish to deny our manifest existence. Not that we are all that found of cities. We much prefer Nature, but we make do and will continue to do so until we once again have manifested Elfin and Faerie upon this planet and, in time,
out in space.”

There is the idea that with the encroachment of Mankind and of towns and cities, which men mistakenly consider civilization, that we elfae folk and fair folk are all now dead or departed, perhaps to the last remaining wild places and wilderness areas that still exist. This goes along with the idea that is sometimes found in fantasy novels that the magic is now all gone or nearly so. That once the world was a place of magic but it has now left, having been chased off or killed off, presumably by science making this into a mundane and magic-less world, unless you consider science and technology magic, which we Silver Elves do.

And yet, it should be quite clear that while we elfae folk do tend to enjoy and love Nature and the wilds that we are also rather fond of each other, which usually means towns, cities, etc. Not in and of thems’elves. We are seldom fond of cities for their own sake. But they do give us a chance to find and interact with each other and while most of us would retreat to a more rural life closer to Nature if we could, the vast majority of us, as yet, are unable to do so at this time in our evolution. And even then, we would generally only do so once we have found our significant otherkin.

In that way, we are rather like the trees and birds. Many of them still live in the wild but others have adapted to living in towns and cities. It is a somewhat dangerous life for trees in a city because you never know when some man might decide to cut you down. But really, the same is true of the trees in the wild, which is why we have so few wild areas left anymore and most of our great forests are gone and those that are left are fast dwindling, again at the hands of men.

And birds also, or some of them, at least, have adapted to city and town life. We listen to the birds every day and, of course, say hello to them when we take our walks about our neighborhood as well as greeting the trees, the geckos, lizards, dogs and every other creature we come across. We are friendly elves.

The fact that we elfae, or many, even most of us, have adapted to urban life is reflected in novels that are identified as Urban Fantasy such as Charles DeLint and others write. It is also reflected quite often in what is known as Magical Realism, as reflected by Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic series. Our own novel of modern elven, The Elves of Lyndarys, takes place mostly out in the countryside but, even then, the characters sometimes go to the local town or to the city. Elves like those in Tolkien’s works that live isolated in places like Rivendell or Lothlorien would be able to do so because they have an organic community that they rely upon. Most of we elfae in the modern world have lost our tribes through the ages. They were persecuted out of existence or forcibly absorbed into the cultures of men. So, for us, finding our kindred in a world that is often hostile to the notion of our identity and sometimes our very existence naturally leads us to those places where others of our kind may be found and that is most often towns and cities or gatherings out in the countryside or wild areas organized by those from the towns and cities.

First, we find each other. Then, perhaps, if we can, we retreat from the world.

But the point is that we incarnated elfae are not gone from the world. Even those more ethereal faeries that ‘fairy seers’ talk about living in trees here and there, are not gone from the world either, apparently. There are all those gardens that they can abide in, at least according to the lore and the accounts of those psychics who claim to see them.

For our own part, we Silver Elves consider the butterflies, dragonflies, moths and other such winged beings to be faeries and we saw two monarchs a week ago just a block over. We know most of those who ‘see’ faeries tell us that they are little people with wings, while at the same time usually denying our essential elfinness, but we think that most likely they are just anthropomorphizing faeries and do not understand we elfae are not all humanoid in appearance. Some of us are, surely, but the vast majority of elfae kind most probably are not.

The fact is that the cities haven’t driven us away. Nor has science gotten rid of us either. It is dominator men that tried to eliminate us and the normal folk who still wish to deny our manifest existence. Not that we are all that found of cities. We much prefer Nature, but we make do and will continue to do so until we once again have manifested Elfin and Faerie upon this planet and, in time, out in space.

But if you live the life Elfin,
it emerges all around you
like buds in the springtime.”

Jesus Christ Elf Lord: The Faerie Foundations of Christianity, Book Two

Jesus Christ Elf Lord:
The Faerie Foundations of Christianity, Book Two
by The Silver Elves

“When we Silver Elves speak of god, we are talking about the Divine Magic that is male and female and both and neither. It exists in all things and is found in all things and within ours’elves and our own inner nature.”

You may purchase Jesus Christ Elf Lord, Book Two here on US Amazon here (also available on all international Amazon sites):

We Silver Elves are happy to announce that we just published our 67th book on the Elven Way, Elfin Life and Magic, titled Jesus Christ Elf Lord: The Faerie Foundations of Christianity, Book Two. First we would like to say that we respect everyone’s own decision as to what religion or no religion that they embrace, and being elven has nothing to do with one’s chosen religion, as the Elven Way is a spiritual path not a religion. We have written this book because many of our elfae people have asked us for an elven perspective on Jesus and Christianity. 

Book Dedication:
We dedicate this book to our beloved Elf Witch and Pagan kindred who endured through the ages despite the persecution you have suffered.

JESUS CHRIST ELF LORD, Book Two is the second book of our two book series about Jesus Christ who was/is, in our opinion as well as the opinion of other scholars, an Elven Lord. As we said in our first volume (see Jesus Christ Elf Lord, Book One here), we Silver Elves are not Christians ours’elves but we know of a number of elfin faerie folk who have expressed to us their wish to keep their Christian faith and yet integrate it with their elfin natures and fae understanding of thems’elves. These two books are an attempt upon our part to illuminate Jesus’ teachings with the Elven Way (see our book of that title) and the Faerie Faith and show them in a harmonious light. We also seek to demonstrate the way Christianity has been influenced by and adapted itself to the Faerie world as well as show, in some cases, how Christianity has influenced modern images of we elfin. These realms are not separate but intimately connected.

In this volume 2 of the series we continue to look closely from an elven perspective at Christianity to cover an elfin view of such topics as: Jesus and other sacrificed gods; Jesus and his coven; Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary; Christmas and Saturnalia; Christ Consciousness; St. Francis and St. Claire; Heaven and Hell; Valhalla and the Realm of Hel; Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ; Revelations, Osiris and Horus; Ragnarok; Gnostics and Gnomes; the Fairy Flag of the Clan MacLeod; prayers as spells; questioning why Christianity is against magic and witchcraft; self-flagellation; suicide; confession/atonement; Free Grace Theology; what Jesus would think about nudity and sexuality; protestantism; proselytizing; Fae as fallen angels; demons/daemons; body vs. spirit; Lord Elrond and Lord Jesus; the Four Horseman; the Seven Seals; Esoteric Christianity; Tolkien mythos; the Seven Deadly Sins; the Seven Virtues; the Seven Magical Virtues; and Christian Magic.

Below is an excerpt from the book Jesus Christ Elf Lord, Book Two:

Another look at Hell

“Jesus is often shown as wearing a crown of thorns by which he was caused to suffer. At the same time, his crown of thorns is not utterly dissimilar to the Faerie Crown that Thranduil wears in the Hobbit movies. Only for Thranduil the twigs/thorns are turned outward. Which may suggest the crown Jesus will wear when it is prophesied that he will, like Horus the ancient Egyptian god, return to kick ass and set the world aright.”

“Jesus’ crown of thorns is meant to indicate that he suffered on our behalf. But really does spreading suffering relieve suffering? If you hit your thumb with a hammer and cry out in pain, will your suffering be lessened if we hit our thumbs with a hammer, too? If we are depressed and you become depressed as well, will that help us be less depressed? That seems to be the theme of the saying ‘misery loves company’, although we think really it is happiness that loves company and misery often just wishes to be alone. But to want other people to suffer because you are suffering is a common feeling, although it usually does nothing to relieve our suffering, it just masks it with a pathetic delight in the pain of others. We elves for our part prefer to ‘kiss it and make it better’.”

“Of course, Jesus’ suffering isn’t primarily about suffering, really. It is about enduring suffering and overcoming suffering. As we’ve said before, the fact that the cross is so commonly used as a symbol of Christianity instead of the image of Jesus ascending to heaven, is a mystery to we who are elven.”

“We elves and faerie folk have also suffered. Alas, this is often happened at the hands of Christians, or at least those who proclaimed they were Christian while not following Jesus’ teachings at all. Perhaps they were trying to relieve their own suffering by sharing it with us. But creating more suffering only adds to the suffering in the world and it is happiness and delight that we elves strive toward because those are truly magical and healing.”

“When one of us was at Catholic military school when he was a boy, a nun there told him and the other pixies in his school class that hell wasn’t really a place where demons tortured one forever. Hell was, according to her, the absence of god. It was not being able to be in the presence of god who is so very wonderful and amazing. We don’t know where she got that idea. When we researched it to get some notion where this point of view originated, we came across a fantasy novelette Hell Is the Absence of God by Ted Chiang published 2001. However, we have not read this story and so cannot recommend it one way or another. At the same time, we are pretty sure that our nun didn’t get her idea from this fantasy tale unless, of course, she was a time traveler or a psychic visionary for she had proclaimed that view nearly fifty years previous to the publication of that work.”

“Another thing we found on google was a pastor answering a question a woman had posed to him that more or less asked if god is everywhere, is he in hell? And, rather like an elf, the pastor responded yes and no. Yes, in the sense that god is aware of everything but no in the sense that his grace is absent from hell. And while this interchange also went on over 50 years, at least, after our nun expressed the idea that hell is the absence of god, the pastor’s response is similar, although we still got the idea that he thought spirits were being tortured in hell as vengeance for not obeying or believing in god.”

“What our nun meant, as we understand it, was that in sinning one separates oneself from god in an inner psychological and soulful way and that separation is torturous. However, it is actually self-imposed torture. Not something that someone does to you but something you have done to yourself.”

“God, in that sense, is a rock star, a rap star, a movie star that you so admire that you long to know them and be with them. God is your soulmate, god is your child that you would lay down your life to protect and who brings joy and delight into your life. God is the person you are in love with. God is the most wonderful person in the universe and when you are separated from that person, you feel tortured inside and long to be with them. Hell is the agony of love when one is apart from one’s beloved. And there is no reason for you not to be with him, unless you yours’elf make it impossible by your actions, like an alcoholic or drug addict that messes up their life so much that their own family who loves them just can’t have them around. Some call this ‘tough love’, but we elves merely think of it as being practical and realistic.”

“When we Silver Elves speak of god, we are talking about the Divine Magic that is male and female and both and neither. It exists in all things and is found in all things and within ours’elves and our own inner nature. The absence of the Divine Magic, which ultimately is so painful that it feels like hell, is due to our separation from each other (as well as from our own s’elves). And yet, some people by their behavior make it impossible to have them around.”

“And we, in harmony with each other and our others, are quite happy in our union and ever hopeful that those others who are suffering will put aside their bad habits and behaviors that are causing the rift between us so we may join in union once more. Alas, like alcoholics who insist that they don’t have a problem with drinking and that it is other people who have a problem with them drinking, some people are not quite ready to develop themselves to the point where they can live in harmony with others.”

“Hell is the absence of a connection to the Divine Magic in one’s life. It is not about believing in god or accepting Jesus as your lord and savior, although it may have something to do with believing in love. Although, there have been many through time who didn’t believe in love and yet Love found them anyway. The Divine Magic is Love.”

“Hell is the absence of those we adore and who, in turn, adore us. Hell is punishment but it is suffering we have insisted upon our own s’elves and as soon as we are ready to stop punishing ours’elves and to change and develop so we can be in the presence of the Divine, the Divine Magic will be waiting for us everywhere and is to be found in nearly everyone around us and within our own nature. This is the truth of Christianity. And this, whether you are Christian or not, is the truth of the Elven Way.”

End of excerpt from Jesus Christ Elf Lord: The Faerie Foundations of Christianity, Book Two by The Silver Elves

“Men tell us they were made in the image and likeness of their god;
we elves say we were created from the spirit and soulfulness of the Divine Magic.”

Does rh Negative Blood Signify the Elven Bloodline and How Tall Are Elves?

“. .  . not everyone who has rh negative blood think they are elfae beings or are even attracted to the ideas about and the culture of Faerie while others of different blood types very much are drawn to Elfin and Faerie. Which is why, in part, we say again that we elfae are a spiritual race of beings and see the world overall, unlike most of the normal folk, from an energetic rather than a material or biological viewpoint . . . . Rh negative blood doesn’t make us an elfae being, any more than having pointed ears would. Although, pointed ears would be very cool, no doubt about it . . . . As much as those who write stories project this or that look or feature for describing or classifying we elfae folk, there is actually no precise physical characteristic that actually defines us or indicates that we are Elfin. Even being descended from the ancient Scythians would not indicate that we were elfae either. It is because, dear kin, we’re spirits and magic spirits at that and can choose whatever body or racial type we desire as we pass from one incarnation to another seeking to manifest Elfin upon the Earth.”

Does rh Negative Blood Signify the Elven Bloodline?

by The Silver Elves

     Some individuals have put forth the idea that rh negative blood signifies the elven bloodline. We expect that the individuals who proclaim this are, in fact, elfae folk who have rh negative blood. We doubt that they would make this claim if they weren’t, for it is an attempt to certify their elfae nature in a material fashion.

     Alas, we are in the process of the passing from the fifth sub-race of the fifth root race, as Blavatsky saw things (see her book The Secret Doctrine), who are a very material and biological oriented people, to the sixth sub-race, who are more psychic, intuitive and spiritual, in the sense of energetic, in their understanding and view of life and thus more elfin in their manifestation. The whole idea that went around a few decades ago about the Indigo Children was a reflection of this transition in process, as was the idea before that concerning the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius… Aquarius… Aquar – ree – us. Harmony and understanding …

     The idea of being descended from the Scythians, who are seen as the ancestors of the Sidhe of Ireland and the Tuatha de Danann, also stems from an attempt to make our elfae nature real and acceptable to the world at large by attaching it to real historical people and thus demonstrating that we really exist. And this urge comes, of course, primarily from the fact that those of the fifth sub-race see anything that doesn’t have a historical or material source as being questionable and thus, in their words, ‘airy-fairy’ and not serious enough to be given genuine and respectful consideration by them.

     And surely it is understandable that some of our people would seek acceptance in the world of the normal folk and, in fact, it may help them (normals) become aware of our existence, even when they deny the actuality of our claims to being elfae beings. We Silver Elves, for our part, are not all that concerned about achieving the recognition of the normal folk, but that isn’t to say that some of our kin don’t have that desire or that it is wrong for them to do so.

     There is, alas, a tendency for many elfae folk (especially when they are young and newly awakened) to think that because they are this or that thing, such as having rh negative blood, that everyone who shares that particular manifestation or physiology, necessarily is also an elfae being and those who don’t have that particular aspect are not. However, it should be clear that, in fact, not everyone who has rh negative blood think they are elfae beings or are even attracted to the ideas about and the culture of Faerie while others of different blood types very much are drawn to Elfin and Faerie. Which is why, in part, we say again that we elfae are a spiritual race of being and see the world overall, unlike most of the normal folk, from an energetic rather than a material or biological viewpoint.

     What makes us elves or faeries or otherkin isn’t our material bodies but our spirits and our inherent attractions. We wish to be elves and faeries because that’s what we are. It would be nice if the normal folk accepted our identities but then we can hardly expect them to do so and although it would be somewhat convenient if they did, we don’t entirely care. We like being the weirdos, the freaks and the strange in comparison to them. Especially since the way they live and think just seems crazy to us as well as incredibly boring. Crazy we can take, but boring … not so much.

     Rh negative blood doesn’t make us an elfae being, any more than having pointed ears would. Although, pointed ears would be very cool, no doubt about it. But we have known individuals with pointed ears and they were quite intelligent beings but they didn’t have the least interest in our elfae culture and were quite happy, really, to be normal. Sort of a new-agey normal but normal nonetheless. We would have been quite happy to have them among us, actually, but they weren’t in the least interested. Faerie and Elfin lore and life was simply too ‘airy-fairy’ for their tastes.

     As much as those who write stories project this or that look or feature for describing or classifying we elfae folk, there is actually no precise physical characteristic that actually defines us or indicates that we are Elfin. Even being descended from the ancient Scythians would not indicate that we were elfae either. It is because, dear kin, we’re spirits and magic spirits at that and can choose whatever body or racial type we desire as we pass from one incarnation to another seeking to manifest Elfin upon the Earth. While we must admit that pointed ears are very lovely and we’d love to naturally have our ears be pointed, we’d still rather have the power to choose whatever body we wish in each incarnation. For that magical power, beloved, is even cooler than pointed ears as far as we are concerned.

 

How Tall are Elves?

By The Silver Elves

     In the Tolkien’s works, elves are generally seen as being somewhat tall. However, elves in Tolkien are not generally taller than men are for the most part and are usually seen as being relatively the same height with individual exceptions as is also the case among Mankind. In comparison to Hobbits and Dwarves, of course, we are portrayed as being quite a bit taller and compared to most trolls and some of the orc folk, quite a bit smaller and also, in comparison to Men overall, less bulky with a tendency to be thin people in general.

     But we should also point out that even the fae and faeries of Irish lore and the Sidhe were generally seen as human sized beings who had no wings in ancient times. Elves, in that sense, were merely the Norse equivalent of Irish and British fae.

     It wasn’t, for the most part, until the Victorian Age that faeries became diminished into little beings with wings, much like Tinkerbell of the Peter Pan story is seen to be. That story being written just a few years after Queen Victoria’s passing. This diminishment in size brought a mixture of notions concerning we elfae beings that can be seen reflected in the faerie tales that were collected in Barbara Rieti’s study Strange Terrain: The Fairy World in Newfoundland in which the faeries are seen sometimes as being small like children but still older looking like adults, sometimes even wizened and at other times seen as regular sized humanoids, depending upon the tale.

    But even if we go back in time, we can find that dwarves were sometimes said to be Dark Elves although, often, still viewed as short beings while the Fomorians of Irish tales were composed of a variety of fae beings from dwarf-sized, to troll-sized to giants. And we should also note that even in Scandinavian faerie lore, trolls are seen as being both very large beings but also at times, much smaller child-sized folk. We expect that the trolls were diminished in size just as the faeries were.

     Also, we should take heed of the fact that while we elves are often seen as being tall, our cousins the brownies, pixies (also called pict-sidhe, piskies and other names) and gnomes are often viewed as being smaller folk. Sometimes, they are seen as very small like faeries are viewed as being, but often the size of smaller children.

     The fact is that we elfae come in a variety of sizes overall and we elves come in various sizes as well. Few of us in modern times are as little as faeries are currently viewed as being, except when we are newborns or prior to that in the womb. But then not all those who relate to and aspire toward developing their elvish beings are all tall either. Neither are all of us svelte beings. Although, a woman the other day asked us Silver Elves if we ever ate anything since we were so skinny and we replied that we ate quite a lot, really, but we didn’t add that it was very healthy food. Also, we exercise every day.

     However, it is a simple fact that not all of us, nor very many of us really, are going to fit into the ideals that Men have created for our beings. Some of us will be tall, some short and many in between. Some of us will be thin, some heavier and again many in between. Since elfin-ness is more an aspect of spirit and personality than physicality, our only real concern as spirits is having our bodies be as healthy as possible and as lovely as we can make them, and all the other preconceptions about our bodies tend to fall to the wayside. We are varied folk by our very natures and that is not only true of our inner beings but our outer beings as well.

     We Silver Elves, for our own part, hold no expectations about what our people will look like. We do expect that they will be interesting people, however they may appear, and we are seldom disappointed in this regard. We are continually amazed by our elfae kindred and quite often inspired by them. We expect that they will be artists of some sort or other, often multimedia individuals or talented in a variety of fields and we are often inspired by their work.

     It is true that there is a lot of shapeshifting in our elfae communities. People think they are one kintype only to shift to another and another until they finally find what is truly right for them. However, that is to be expected. After all, we are all growing and transforming as spirits anyway. Some us transforming within our kintypes and others among the kintypes. Eventually, we all come to be who we truly are, which in the long run is who we truly wish to be. Ours is a world of magic after all.

Elfin Totem Animals: An Elven Oracle for Finding Your Power Familiar

This book is found here on Amazon US:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJPVB3N9

And here on Amazon UK:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BJPVB3N9

We Silver Elves are excited to announce the publication of ELFIN TOTEM ANIMALS: An Elven Oracle for Finding Your Power Familiar!

We have dedicated this book with much love and appreciation to all our therian and mythical animal kindred who have been such supportive members of our Facebook group “United Otherkin Alliance”. 

ELFIN TOTEM ANIMALS: An Elven Oracle for Finding Your Power Familiar will assist you in exploring a deeper magical relationship to both animals of the wild as well as mythical animals. This book is written from an elven perspective, and you will find reading it to be helpful to use as a magical guide if you: 1.) already know your totem animal or familiar and wish to find out more about what magical powers they bring you; 2.) want to find out who/what your totem animal is and what/how this animal is influencing your life; 3.) wish to use this book as an oracle reading to find out what animal energy has come to you in your life in the past or is needed in the present and future for healing and success; 4.) wish to understand the magical meaning of an animal dream symbol that you have experienced; or 5.) would like to understand the meaning and magic in your life of an animal you have encountered other than your familiar.

While animals can be differentiated in a number of ways, we have divided them here in this book into six basic groups or classes of animals in keeping with the most accepted scientific differentiation. These are Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Invertebrates, and Fish. To these, we have also added an entire chapter of numerous Mythical animals for several reasons. First, as elfae folk we love the number seven. It is a particularly magical number to us but then all numbers are magical in their own way. Also, while Mythical animals are not known to exist as physical creatures upon the Earth, although some of us still hold that they may still exist, many elfae have mythical animals as totems, just as Scotland has the unicorn as its national animal and Thailand the Garuda bird.

There are oracles for over 250 animals in this book. You will find that we have included in many of the animal families further subdivisions. Thus, if your totem is a bear, or you receive bear as a response to an inquiry of the oracle, you will notice that within the section on bears there are different species of bears. For instance, there are grizzly bears and brown bears and black bears and polar bears and so on, each with their variation upon the main theme of bear energy and symbology. Just as in our elfae world, there are elves, faeries, pixies, brownies, gnomes and other fae beings. But, this further sub-division takes place in this book more for the mammals than for fish, insects, etc. because the vast majority of our readers will have mammals as their totems.

The directions for using this book as an oracle guide are clearly written in the introduction of the book and further assistance is given throughout the book to make it easy. So it will be fun for you to use! All you will need to cast an oracle to read from this book will be a regular playing deck of cards and a few dice (this is also explained in the book).

Our link to animal totems is both ancient and quite powerful and surely extends back into prehistory and our elven ancestors in more shamanistic times. For we elfae folk, the future is in many ways more important than the past. Our heritage is important to us, surely, and we love much of the ancient lore in as much as it is a true reflection of our elvish beings and culture. However, we are ever striving through the present to step into the future, to become those elfae spirits we feel ours’elves to be, aspire toward being, feel destined to be and act in such ways as to manifest in reality and through magic our true s’elves actuating our potential and manifesting Elfin and Faerie upon the Earth. And certainly, totem animals are one way to do this.

Ver nesidas mellun vari te (In shimmering Starlight Ever Be),
The Silver Elves

 

There are over 250 animal oracles you can draw using Elfin Totem Animals and here are a few short example excerpts:

ITALIAN WOLVES

“These wolves can be found living in the alps of northern Italy, in Switzerland and southwestern France. They are integral to the Italian culture, featuring as the wolves who in legend took part of the founding of Rome. They are also the national animal of Italy. These wolves are different from the common European wolf. They tend to be smaller and have teeth that are more like those of a dog or a golden jackal. However, they are genetically different from other wolves and dogs. These are a unique folk and, in that sense, very elvish.”

“If you have this wolf folk as your totem animal then know that you are a special sort of elfae being, both like and unlike others of our kind. You are something special. However, what constitutes that specialness may not be clear. There is something ancient in your being and you need to look to the ancients and the ancestors to truly understand. Yours is the old magic, the ancient magic, the magic that was before history.”

If you get this as an oracle:

“Simply, be your own s’elf. Some people may think you are like everyone else but they are wrong. But you don’t need to point that out to them. Let them think what they will. Inwardly, know that you are special and if some people feel a bit uneasy around you because they feel you are different but can’t quite figure out how, soothe them and give them a smile and go on your way. Look to the ancients and the ancient magic to help you resolve the situation you are asking about. Old magic, folk magic, what many consider superstitious practices, passed on to you by your parents or grandparents, may serve you well here.”

*

POLAR BEAR

“While the Polar Bear is kin to the Brown Bear, it is actually the largest existent bear species today, as well as, the largest carnivore on land. However, the Polar Bear, unlike other bears, is a marine mammal and listed in that way along with seals, dolphins, whales, porpoises and other mammals that survive along and upon the seas. This should include fishermen and merchant marines as far as we elves are concerned. Also, Polar Bears survive in a very narrow and cold ecological niche and this, besides their white fur, makes them rather special as bears who have adapted to living fulltime among the ice and snow. Theirs is a magic that is apart from the normal world. They survive where few others can and that is great magic, indeed. If this is your totem than you can do this as well.”

If you get this as an oracle:

“Then the solution to the question you asked is to find a niche where your special abilities and talents will be successful and productive. You don’t need to fit into the world at large, you just need to find a corner of the world, even if it is a narrow corner, a small space where you can thrive and where your particular work, magic or style will be appreciated. Also, if you must be in the world, take on some of the jobs no one else wishes to do and master them. In this way, you will become indispensable.”

*

PELICANS, HERONS, HAMMERKOPS, SPOONBILLS, SHOE-BILL STOCKS AND IBISES

“These are medium to large water birds. Their nostrils have evolved into small slits, so they need to breathe through their mouths (mouth breathers). They have webbed toes. They nest in colonies but are monogamous in individual association. Their young, like those of humans, are born naked and helpless and need feeding and care until fledged. Ibises have long been associated with magic and mystery. Pelicans are often seen to be humble and generous. They do not ‘hog’ their food or eat more than they need. Herons are frequently seen as indicating prosperity. Spoonbills can indicate strength and freedom and the ability to sweep obstacles out of their way. Some African tribes saw the Hammerkop as being a ‘lighting bird’ bringing revelation. Shoebill Stocks are often seen as having a supernatural ability to detect danger and the power and purity to overcome evil.”

“If this is your totem, then you are surely a magical wielder and/or a mystic of some sort. That leads some people to believe you are not as intelligent as they are or as you really are, because your belief in and experience with the supernatural is beyond their understanding. You, naturally, ignore them and pay no heed to their ignorance.”

If you get this as an oracle:

“Use your magic for the good. Overcome evil, create prosperity for yours’elf and others and then good luck will come to you and you will fall under the protection of the Shining Ones. It may seem like this situation calls for you to do something material but really magic and spells are the key to succeeding here.”

*

And for an excerpt example of a MYTHICAL ANIMAL oracle included:

CHIMERA

“The Chimera is a being that is usually depicted as having the body of a lion with the head of a goat protruding from its back, and its tail often ends with a snake’s head. Because of this the term chimera has come to be used to designate any mythical or fictional creature with its parts taken from a variety of animals. By extension, from that idea, it is used to describe anything that is made of disparate parts, or anything that is generally accorded to be outlandishly imaginative, to be implausible or, at the same time, dazzling in its contradictions or incongruities.”

“If this is your totem, then you are a puzzle to most people. You have a wide range of varied experiences, have probably lived in different cultures all over the place and are simply hard to define or categorize. You probably seem strange to them but fascinating at the same time. If you are of elfae being, you are most likely a combination of myriad fae types, some of which may seem contradictory.”

If you get this as an oracle:

“You are probably going to have to patch together a number of different things to make this situation work. This is a jerry-rig situation and the solution is not to be found in a single act or a simple series of actions but in trying a number of different things and seeing which work and which don’t and continuing on with those that do, which in themselves may prove to be quite disparate. But if you wish to succeed here, that’s what it takes. And, remember, the tried and true just isn’t going to work in these circumstances. You will be forced to think ‘out of the box’ if you wish to resolve this situation.”

— End of excerpts from ELFIN TOTEM ANIMALS: An Elven Oracle for Finding Your Power Familiar

“Everyone has two beasts in them.
One is a dragon of immense power.
The other is a Unicorn of great goodness.
You must feed them equally lest great power should arise
without goodness or goodness be rendered powerless.”

“Elves value the advice of animals as much as that of humans,
sometimes more since animals don’t tend to lie to us.”

—Ancient Knowledge of the Elven Shamans

“We elves don’t just have dogs, cats, peacocks or other beings as companions. We have elf hounds, elf cats, elf peacocks and various other magical elfae incarnated into animal forms as our friends. Ours is a very diverse culture and our understanding of Life and Nature is wide.”

— The Silver Elves

Are Elves Related to Angels?

   

      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.

Kyela,

“Every vision of the morrow is rooted in a thousand yesterdays.”
Olde Elven Saying
—The Silver Elves

________________________________________________________________________

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 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.

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.

From an Elven Perspective: Could One have been an Elemental in a Past Life?

“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 Elements of Elven Magic:
A New View of Calling the Elementals Based Upon the Periodic Table of Elements

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.

4. The Book of Elven Magick: The Philosophy and Enchantments of the Seelie Elves (see both Volume 1 & 2)

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.

“In a forest not far ‘way, we elves begin another day and as we move with simple grace, we call to mind your lovely face.”

And now for a bit of elven fun!

We invite you to come to our website and enter our elven forest and go through the Elven Tree of Life Eternal to explore your magical nature (it’s free and completely private). It is set up somewhat like a choose your own adventure book and a fun way to explore your specific magic while all roads lead to Elfin. Then return to “the Eald of the Silver Elves home page” at any time you wish by clicking the “home page” link at the top of any page you happen to be on. You may enjoy other pages on our website including reading some of our Magical Elven Love Letters or taking our Elf, Fae or Otherkin Survey and we will happily gift you a beautiful narrative about your magical tribe (this is not an automatic response but instead is especially written for you based on your responses and our own elven intuition).

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
and here for purchase on Amazon UK
