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.”

Is there a connection between the words Ferry and Fairy?

Fairy (or Faerie) and Ferry are homonyms in as much as they have the same pronunciation but a different meaning. However, while their meaning is clearly distinct, Faerie or Fairy (spelled with a capital “F”) or in some cases Faërie, indicating a place or realm and a people (generally spelled with a lower case “f”) and Ferry denoting a boat for passage across water, we Silver Elves still sense a harmony between them.

When one of us elves was very young, we used to take the ferry across the Chesapeake Bay to visit our grandparents, usually very late at night, and that was a bit mysterious and magical. Although, we were quite wee elves at that time. We were at that age when nearly everything is mysterious and magical. There is some lore that states that we elfae folk cannot cross over water. The same thing is sometimes said regarding vampires, but Dracula overcame this limitation when he traveled to England from Transylvania (meaning across the forest) by sleeping in a coffin that contained the soil of his native land. Surely, if we elfae were limited in our ability to cross running water, we would have figured out we could just put some soil in our pockets or the bottom on our shoes to cross streams and rivers, etc.

And what about mermaids and nixies and selkies and sea sprites and other fae of the waters? Clearly, they can cross water and the selkies, taking on humanoid form can cross land as well. So, that bit of lore doesn’t seem to actually apply to us. Although, it may come from a sense of territoriality, since rivers, streams, etc. were commonly used as territorial boundaries in the past and even in some cases today. If we are seen as being like many animals and like men as well for that matter, not being able to cross running water may indicate that we’d be passing out of our own clan territory if we did so. It wasn’t that we couldn’t cross the water but that conflict would surely develop if we did.

You can find this idea of we elfae having territories in such works as Sylvia Townsend Warner’s The Kingdoms of Elfin, in Marie Brennan’s Onyx Court series, The War for the Oaks by Emma Bull and many of Holly Black’s books about we elfae folk as well as other books, many of which follow the legends of we elfae as having winter and summer courts that are in perpetual, as well as seasonal, conflict. Notice how, in The Fellowship of the Ring, the Nazgul who were men who had become powerful dark spirits, in other words had been transformed into Unseelie fae, were unable to cross the river and enter the Realm of Rivendell due to that elvish realm’s powerful magic that repelled them with the waters of the river rising and flooding them away.

On the other hand, we should be aware that we fae folk are often associated with death and in some Celtic lore, Faerie is the land of the dead where people went to live until they died there and then returned to another life on Earth. And it is common as well in mythology for those who die to be seen as being ferried (faerie-d?) across a river to be taken to the land of the dead. We find this prominently in Greek mythology, which also gives us tales of fauns, satyrs, dryads, nixies and myriad other fae folk. But note also Hel, the goddess of the dead in Norse lore, and her boat of the dead that her father Loki uses in the battle of Ragnarok when the trolls, giants and other ancient gods confront the warrior gods of the Aesir and attempt to overthrow them. And notice, also, the tradition among the Norse of sending warriors to the other world in a burning boat, which would be a type of ferry in a sense as well. You can also find, in the beliefs of the Dayak people of Borneo, a ship that conveys people to the land of the dead and a boat that conveys souls to the land of the dead in Egyptian lore.

But even more germane here, we should consider that when King Arthur died or was severely wounded (the tales differ in this regard), he was ferried to Avalon on a small boat by the women/witches/fae of that island to be healed, one of whom it is said was his sister Morgan la Fay (Morgan the Fae).

Water is traditionally symbolic of the mystery of creation and thus of birth, death and resurrection. However, it is also associated with purification and redemption and with fertility and growth. Carl Jung viewed it as a symbol for the unconscious elements of the psyche. The ferry crosses over the water conveying one to another land, a land that is separated by water or the unconscious or by death. It is not too much of a stretch to presume that it may very well be we elfae folk, we faerie, who do the ferrying. To enter Faerie, one must ferry or cross the unconscious realms of being, the realms of the unknown and be transformed (as death often represents transformation) and arise again in a new land. A land that is not only different from whence we came, but in which we are changed as well. The portal to Faerie then would be a ferry. Which is to say, to enter Faerie we must be transformed. And this is to say transformed as soulful spirits. A transformation of our inner nature or, in truth, a purification of our nature so we become more of who were truly are.

When we die, we change our bodies, but our spirits remain the same. This is one of the meanings of the concept of karma. We carry who we are from one incarnation to another. The very purpose of coming into material manifestation is that here we can consciously transform, hone and empower our spirits. To enter Faerie, we need to transform as spirits, as individuals, as people. Changing bodies is transubstantiation, the altering of the body and its essence. To enter Faerie, we need to change who we truly are, not necessarily what we look like. To enter Faerie, we must become faerie, which is to say more truly fae. Then Faerie will recognize us as one of its own and embrace us readily.

It is rather, in that way, like buying a new car. One can get a totally new vehicle, but that doesn’t make one a better driver. Getting into Faerie isn’t about getting a new vehicle but about becoming a better driver/enchanter. One that is better able to perceive the Faerie world and all of us who are a part of it. And then one discovers, as we and others of our kind have through the ages, that we have been here all along.

A few enchanting elf quotes from within the book When Faerie Comes . . . . 

“You may already know, for it is quite true,
there’s magic that lives inside of you.
and if you are fae, as you surely may be,
that magic’s determined to set you free.”

*

“Beat the drums, ring the bells, let the rattles shake,
in the forest of our dreams we elfin folk awake.”

*

“The Elves say that the Truth is not just black and white, it is a rainbow cast by reality encompassing everything including all the colors we cannot currently see.”

*

“Every elf does surely know
there’s magic in the ebb and flow
and in the moments just between
when we can glimpse the great unseen.”

*

“Every time a child does laugh,
Faerie magic comes to pass
and when they giggle, don’t you know,
it’s because the faeries did a show.”

*

“We elfae bring Faerie
as you’ll surely see,
wherever we are,
there Faerie will be.”

*

We remember the future, it’s always been so,
it lives in potential as we ever grow,
closer to Elfin we do become
the magic envisioned as we merge as one.”

Does time flow differently in Faerie?

“. . . . while time doesn’t materially flow differently in Elfin, although that is surely possible in some instances, we do experience time in a different way. We have, for the most part, slowed ours’elves down and thus experience time as moving like a gentle creek flowing calmly toward the river. It is subjective time, certainly, and it takes a shift of perspective to perceive, but then that’s quite a bit of what Elfin, Faerie and magic are all about anyway, experience the world and life in a whole Other way”

     In The Fellowship of the Ring, when the members of the fellowship are taking sanctuary in the elven realms of Lothlorien, some of them note that time seems to flow differently there but other members of the Fellowship point out that the difference is not actual but subjective. That is to say it is not that time is flowing differently but that it feels different when one is in Elfin or Faerie.

     This idea that the Faerie realms move at a different rate of time is quite traditional in Faerie lore, where a person can be in one of the Faerie realms for what seems like days or weeks to them and then return to their normal world to discover that years have passed by. Where has the time flown, is the usual reaction.

     And there is some indication, according to the theories of Special Relativity, that time does flow differently in certain instances according to one’s frame of reference and one’s velocity so that time slows near to a stop when one approaches the speed of light. That being the case, we might think that the Faerie realms are somehow vibrating faster than the normal realms of Man. This may, in part, explain how it is that time seems to move so quickly in the realms of men, or at least, why they are always in a hurry to get things done before time runs out on them.

     Our sisters of the Elf Queen’s Daughters (see our Silver Elves books titled Elf Magic Mail, volume 1 and 2) sometimes noted that they vibrated at a different rate of speed than the normal folk. This being the case because they were more efficient in some ways and yet more laid back at the same time. And yet, we think this is primarily a matter of a frame of reference than an actual difference between our elvish time or our time in Elfin and that of the normal folk and their world.

     The fact is that among we elven, time moves both very quickly and very slowly. On the one hand, there is the idea that time flies when one is having fun and we elves are nearly always having fun so that when one leaves Elfin or Faerie, or Lothlorien for the members of the Fellowship, it seems as though it has happened far more quickly than they would wish. For one most often wishes they could stay in Elfin forever. We know we feel that way, especially when we are with our true kindred.

     Simultaneously, when one is in Elfin, one is so absorbed into the energy there that it frequently seems as though time isn’t passing at all. One lives in a sort of timeless bubble insulated from the pressures of the world and its energies that are ever urging one to hurry, hurry, hurry. In the normal world, one is ever rushing about to get nowhere and being ever busy doing nothing of significance while accomplishing very little. It is all, as Shakespeare pointed out, Much Ado About Nothing.

     In Elfin, even quiet slow seeming moments are cherished. It all gets done and yet there is no hurry and not much need to accomplish anything save what one desires to do. Sometimes, our artists are filled with passionate energy and most true artist do seem to be elfae types really but mostly we are just cruising along quite delighted to be together. What is more important than that really?

     And because we elves are generally calmer about nearly everything than men and the normal folk, we are in less of a hurry and therefore less likely to make mistakes that make everything take longer, having to do it all again. And when we do make mistakes, they are often artistic mistakes that we incorporate into what we are doing. This makes us more efficient for the most part and we often get more done in less time because we are not really in a hurry. It’s a bit of a paradox but then most things concerning Elfin, Faerie and we elfae folk ours’elves are.

     So, we are led to conclude that while time doesn’t materially flow differently in Elfin, although that is surely possible in some instances, we do experience time in a different way. We have, for the most part, slowed ours’elves down and thus experience time as moving like a gentle creek flowing calmly toward the river. It is subjective time, certainly, and it takes a shift of perspective to perceive, but then that’s quite a bit of what Elfin, Faerie and magic are all about anyway, experience the world and life in a whole Other way.

“Some wander into Faerie not knowing what they seek,
just that something draws them here of which they cannot speak,
and as their eyes do sparkle with the wonder of it all,
memories of a world deemed lost upon their thoughts do fall.”

Are Elven Vortexes Hierarchical?

    

    

“. . . . for us Silver Elves, in particular, and for most elves we know, there is no set hierarchical figure in our social life or magical groups, which is to say in our vortexes, covens or other magical formulations. What we tend to have, however, which is a sort of hierarchy, is the prevalence of charismatic individuals. Although being enchanters for the most part, there are often a good many charismatic individuals among us, unlike cults where there is just one charismatic leader who rules everyone and everything. . . . There are no fixed positions of hierarchy among us, no inherited positions really, there is only manifest charisma that will surely change as others grow into their own true s’Elves, which is inevitable if the elf “in charge” is really doing their job correctly and nurturing the power and energy in everyone that comes to them.”

     In Stephen Mace’s Seizing Power he explores the question concerning whether covens, vortexes (elven magical gatherings), lodges or other magical groups need to be hierarchical or whether they are actually better off being run through consensus. We won’t go over his conclusions here, our readers can get his book if they wish thems’elves. Although, we will say we very much like his writings, although they are quite intellectual and may not appeal to everyone. For our own part, we elves enjoy reading authors who are more knowledgeable and intelligent than we currently are, but that may not be the case for everyone. Rather, what we wish to do here is explore our own thoughts on this issue that were provoked by his considerations. Although, we will say that Mace, being a theorist of Chaos Magic and inspired by the works of Austin Osman Spare, is more inclined toward consensus, where possible and practical, than hierarchy.

     We elves, despite what tradition and lore says about us, are essentially a consensus folk and even anarchist as people (if you define anarchy in terms of individualistic rather than a miscellaneous group of malcontents wanting to tear everything down, ala The Joker of the Batman world). Consensus is surely the ideal, although we are realistic enough to understand that in some cases, and among some types of elfae, hierarchy is bound to take place. Certainly, the grimlins, goblins, orcs and so forth are more inclined, in our experience, to favor hierarchy, in some cases theocratic hierarchy (grimlins), more than we elves, pixies, brownies and other fae peoples do.

     If you went by the traditional lore and many modern stories about us, you’d think that we are all led by kings and queens, etc. But for us Silver Elves, in particular, and for most elves we know, there is no set hierarchical figure in our social life or magical groups, which is to say in our vortexes, covens or other magical formulations. What we tend to have, however, which is a sort of hierarchy, is the prevalence of charismatic individuals. Although being enchanters for the most part, there are often a good many charismatic individuals among us, unlike cults where there is just one charismatic leader who rules everyone and everything. This is not to say that this couldn’t happen among elves but, overall, is less likely to occur because of our strong individual nature. It is simply a rule of thumb to say that those who would follow such a single charismatic leader would only do so until they are developed enough as elven spirits to pilot their own way. It is the effects and leftover indoctrination from the normal world that leads them to follow such leaders. This is much in the way that children are led by their parents until, in fact, they can take care of thems’elves and guide their own lives.

     What we have instead is a sort of artistic hierarchy. By this we mean that whoever initiates a project, magical ritual, etc. is the one in charge of it. Those who wish to join in do and those who don’t go elsewhere or do something else. There is an understanding, however, that when elves gather together for a purpose of doing magic for this or that goal that they will cooperate toward the realization of that goal.

     Unlike mankind, where the leaders give directions and the workers carry them out, among elves usually, those who do most of the work are also the ones who are in charge. We, however, do consider organizing things as effort and thus would be counted as work, although we are not overly fond of that word and tend to like to think of everything as a form of play. Play, not only in the sense of being playful and having fun, but play in the sense of acting and a performance, which are forms of enchantment.

     Back when we were part of the Elf Queen’s Daughters (1970s), our sisters of the Fox River Vortex pointed out that for them, leadership was always a provisional thing. One person or pairing of individuals might guide things for a while and at other times another person among them or pairing would rise to ascendance. Really, it is all about who has the power/energy at a particular time.

     It is not impossible that one or two may dominate a vortex for a long time, if they are powerful, knowledgeable and wise but again they must demonstrate that knowledge and wisdom regularly. There are no fixed positions of hierarchy among us, no inherited positions really, there is only manifest charisma that will surely change as others grow into their own true s’elves, which is inevitable if the elf “in charge” is really doing their job correctly and nurturing the power and energy in everyone that comes to them.

We Silver Elves are happy to announce the publication of our newest book: Moon Elves: Their Customs and Their Magic

MOON ELVES: Their Customs and Their Magic is all about moon elves and by the term Moon Elves, we mean elves for whom a relationship with the Moon is an important, but not necessarily exclusive, part of their lifestyle and magic. We Silver Elves, for instance, say we are the elves of moonlight, starlight and the radiance of the forest. Therefore, we could easily call ours’elves Moon Elves, but we could also say we are Star Elves or Starlight Elves, or Forest or Wood Elves, and all that would be true. In Part One of Moon Elves you will find a description of some of the various methods Moon Elves use in their magic. Some of the topics in this book on moon elven culture and magic include: Elven Moon Bathing, Moon Water, Moon Gazing, the Elfin Moon Garden and Moon Garden Herbs, Elven Moon Weddings, Elfin Moon Dancing, Moon Elven Totems and Familiars, Moon Gods and Goddesses, the Day Moon, Light Side and Dark Side of the Moon, Elven Moon Crystals, The Moon in the Tarot, and more (scroll down to see the table of contents). Also, we will cover in Part Two of Moon Elves the various energies of the different cycles as they progress through the Moon Months and the energies best utilized or evoked at that time. In that way, this book is a sort of Farmer’s Almanac, although really a Moon Elf Magic Almanac. Covered in this book are the names and meanings that moon elves have for the Elven Moon Zodiac, and these are globally significant rather than seasonally specific to a particular hemisphere. Part Three of Moon Elves contains some examples of moon elf tribes and a narrative description of each to give you an idea of the varieties of moon tribes that are among us in modern times — including their lifestyle, healing abilities, ancient ways, art and magic, and relationship to nature and to mankind.

“The closer we get to Elfin
the more magical the world becomes.

For those wondering . . . . this is our The Silver Elves lineage at a glance drawn out by Zardoa Silver Star of The Silver Elves.  For those viewing it, the ‘vortexes’ are what The Elf Queen’s Daughters (EQD, 1974-1977) called their elven covens (they were elven witches), of which we were the vortex/coven named the Elves of the Southern Woodlands (see on right side). Later when the EQD disband in 1977, we began calling ours’elves the Sylvan Elves and then we changed our name to The Silver Elves when we migrated to California and began writing our Magical Elven Love Letters. We thought you might enjoy seeing this drawn out and viewing the dozen or so vortexes/elven covens of the EQD in those early times. The EQD were the first elven group in the modern times to publish articles and they also were the first of the modern elven to adopted the 7 pointed star as the elven star. How fortunate we were to be a part of this amazing group of elves and we Silver Elves are forever thankful for our elven ancestors The Elf Queen’s Daughters (see our The Silver Elves books on Amazon titled Elf Magic Mail, volume 1 & also volume 2, for more on The EQD). 

 

 

 

“You can search for what seems like forever to Elfin and never find it.
You can wait for it to come and it never seems to arrive.
But if you live the life Elfin,
it emerges all around you like buds in the springtime.”

MOON ELVES: Their Customs and Their Magic

Moon Elves: 
Their Customs and Their Magic
by The Silver Elves

“The Moon Elves say that the moon speaks of past lives and ancient times and secrets stored in our subconscious waiting to be revealed.”

We Silver Elves happily announce the publication of our 72nd book titled Moon Elves: Their Customs and Their Magic. Our 72 books are on elfin life and magic, elven oracles, our elven language Arvyndase, and living The Elven Way, and we know you will find Moon Elves both wondrous and helpful reading on your path to manifest the magic of Elfin in your life. Please read more below about this 1st in our series of The Silver Elves books on various kinds of elves.

This book is found internationally on all Amazon sites including:

MOON ELVES: Their Customs and Their Magic is all about moon elves and by the term Moon Elves, we mean elves for whom a relationship with the Moon is an important, but not necessarily exclusive, part of their lifestyle and magic. We Silver Elves, for instance, say we are the elves of moonlight, starlight and the radiance of the forest. Therefore, we could easily call ours’elves Moon Elves, but we could also say we are Star Elves or Starlight Elves, or Forest or Wood Elves, and all that would be true. So it is that when we say Moon Elves, we are not necessarily distinguishing them utterly from other sorts of elves (although some surely are exclusively Moon Elves). We elfae folk are generally a very eclectic bunch.

In Part One of Moon Elves you will find a description of some of the various methods Moon Elves use in their magic. This is not to say that all Moon Elves engage in each particular practice we cover in this book or that we include every practice they may have but that these are the most common practices and magics that the majority of the Moon Elfin engage in. Taken together they might be referred to as Elven Moon Magics. We also illuminate what might be referred to as Moon Elf lifestyle and culture, although it is true to say that all elves and fae folk in going about our lives do magic in everything we do. Thus, as our sisters of the Elf Queen’s Daughters in the 1970s used to say, “We elves don’t do magic so much as we are magic and therefore all that we do is magic.” Our lifestyle is also our magic and our magic our lifestyle and this is true of Moon Elves and every other sort of elfin folk. This stems primarily from the fact that while we elves may practice a variety of different magic styles and techniques (from ceremonial magick to sorcery, from pyromancy to necromancy), we are first and foremost, in nearly all cases, enchanters as the ancient lore suggests and as modern elves and our lives bear out. We do not seek to force our will upon the world but rather to enchant individuals so they will willingly and eagerly do what we desire in order to please us because they feel so empowered and inspired by us and our magical elvish beings.

Some of the topics in this book on moon elven culture and magic include: Elven Moon Bathing, Moon Water, Moon Gazing, the Elfin Moon Garden and Moon Garden Herbs, Elven Moon Weddings, Elfin Moon Dancing, Moon Elven Totems and Familiars, Moon Gods and Goddesses, the Day Moon, Light Side and Dark Side of the Moon, Elven Moon Crystals, The Moon in the Tarot, and more (scroll down to see the table of contents).

Also, we will cover in Part Two of Moon Elves the various energies of the different cycles as they progress through the Moon Months and the energies best utilized or evoked at that time. In that way, this book is a sort of Farmer’s Almanac, although really a Moon Elf Magic Almanac. We Silver Elves have ever been of the opinion that an Elven Calendar would be like the Chinese Lunar Calendar and that the Elven Zodiac would have thirteen months based on that calendar instead of the twelve sign zodiac of Western lore that doesn’t fit exactly with the 12 months of the Western Calendar anyway. Aries, for instance in the Western zodiac, is from about March 21st to April 19th and this divergence from the months of the year is true of all of the signs of the Zodiac with each sign overlapping two months. But in our Elven Moon Zodiac, the moon months and the signs would be the same. Covered in this book are the names and meanings that moon elves have for the Elven Moon Zodiac, and these are globally significant rather than seasonally specific to a particular hemisphere.

Part Three of Moon Elves contains some examples of moon elf tribes and a narrative description of each to give you an idea of the varieties of moon tribes that are among us in modern times — including their lifestyle, healing abilities, ancient ways, art and magic, and relationship to nature and to mankind. If you are a Moon Elf, then we hope you enjoy reading about related tribes or perhaps one of them is your very own.

“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.”

 

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 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!

Happy Elven Star Day today on 7.7.7.

We Silver Elves wish you a very Happy Elven Star Day, dear Kindred and Friends! It is a 7.7.7. day in numerology or July (7) 7th (7) 2023 (which adds up to 7) and so what better day to celebrate Elven Star Day than on 777. It is a Day to celebrate manifesting Elfin/Faerie in our lives and some say the portals to the Faerie Realms are open on this day and thus it is a good day to bring in the magic and beauty in our lives all around us on this very day.

     “Being an elf is an organic thing. Even if there were no books to read or stories that tell of us in the modern media, we’d still know ours’elves to be elves, perhaps by a different name, but elves none-the-less. So, too, we have a holiday, so to speak, called Elven Star Day. Elven Star Day doesn’t occur on a particular date each year, as most holidays do. It isn’t even based upon a somewhat floating calendar, the way that Easter, Thanksgiving and Chinese New Year are. Rather, an elf will wake up one morning and hear a voice whisper, “It’s Elven Star Day!” or perhaps they will just feel this strongly or sense it in their intuition and then for seven days they will meditate on each one of the points of the seven-pointed Elven Star and see what it reveals to them as well as sending out elven blessings into the world. Perhaps, we should call it Elven Star Week, but we’re elves.”  — Excerpt from The New Dawn of Elfin: Answers to Questions About Being an Elf and Following the Elven Path, Volume 3 by The Silver Elves

We Silver Elves happen to love the Elven Star (acute seven-pointed star) from the first time we saw it posted on one of the letters of the Elf Magic Mail (see our two books of that title) that we and our sisters of the Elf Queen’s Daughters (EQD) used to mail out every week for over two years back in the mid-1970s. Our sisters Arwen and Elanor who were the founders of the EQD, first conceived (in this lifetime in the mid 1970s) of using this star for the elven community and put them upon the EQD letters on numerous occasions. Since the five-pointed star represented Mankind (inspired in Arwen’s mind by Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man), Arwen Eveningstar added wings to that figure (so one ray for the head, two for the arms, two for the legs, and two for the wings) and thus came up with a 7 pointed star to represent the Elves and the evolution of humankind into the Angelic Realms. Obviously, due to the wings, it represents our faerie kindred as well. In fact, the very first letter of the Elf Magic Mail shared by the EQD that had this symbol showed a five-pointed star with wings called “The Winged Star” (you may see a photo of it here on this page).  Thus from the very beginning the idea existed beneath the surface that this was also the Faerie Star. So it represents all Fae folk, elves, pixies, faeries, brownies and otherkin and all are welcome to use it.

We, collectively with the EQD, published and sent out by snail mail three letters a week to a mailing list of about 300 elf friends and the Elven Star was featured on many of them. We Silver Elves continued this practice of putting the Elven Star in our own Silver Elves letters when we took up the Dharma of publishing these musings, which now can be found under the title The Magical Elven Love Letters (see volumes 1, 2, and 3 and sample letters), which we published from the 1979 up until the early 2000’s. Although, while we began these writings as snail mail they evolved into emails as the internet came into existence. We had over 500 elves and elf friends on our mailing list when we shifted from publishing those letters to publishing our books in 2011. And now, of course, these letters have re-manifested as the articles often published on our blogs and also in our question and answer book series.

As we Silver Elves say, we’ve always loved the Elven Star and have numerous versions of it on our walls in our eald (elf home), and even on the back of this computer that we’re currently composing this very article upon. We also have various versions, from small to large and naked to jeweled, as amulets that we wear whenever we venture forth into the world. Of course, through the course of time, the faerie folk have taken it up and began calling it the Faerie star and they seem to love it as much as we do. There is just something about it that calls to the hearts of many of the elfae (elves and other magical folk from the Faerie Realm).

Yet, there is no obligation to like it or wear it or have it about your home. It either calls to you as an elfae or it doesn’t and it really doesn’t matter, neither to us or the world of spirit. What matters really is what speaks to you heart, soul and imagination as an elfin being. What symbols, if any, remind you of Elfin and our life in the Otherworldly realms of Enchantment?

We elves have our elven star, and perhaps you could say our elf ears, while the faeries have their wings, but no one is obligated to like the Elven/Faerie star, or wear elf ears or faerie wings, or like any particular symbol, fashion, or whatever. What we do expect is that you will find or create the fashion or symbols that speak to your heart and will use them to increase your connection to Elfin and help you evolve as an elf and hopefully inspire us and other kindred as well. How you do that is really up to you. And if you create or find a new symbol that speaks to many of us and extends our culture, then that is even better.

So let’s all celebrate Elven Star Day! Dress up if you like and do wear your elven star pendant if you have one and surely show your elven soulful spirit in your smile. Make a delicious Elfin feast and share it! Commune with the trees and all of Nature! Most of all enjoy yours’elf and if you wish, please join us in bringing in some of the magic below to manifest Elfin and a better world for All. Below you will find some information about the meaning of the Elven Star, some Elven Star magic and some of our Silver Elves books using it in original oracles and magic like the Elfin Star Runes.

Happy Elven Star Day!

For those who love the elven star, here is the meditation on the rays that we Silver Elves created, performed and published in 1986 in Circle Network News. We did this meditation for seven days, one ray per day, for the elven people and elven manifest. We still do this today, at least twice a year, generally in early Spring and Autumn. And of course today on Elven Star Day and invite you to do the same!

We hope you enjoy reading about our newest The Silver Elves book publication, The Elfin Star Runes with 7 chapters (one for each of the 7 points)! It contains an original elfin rune set of 49 runes. It is set up into 7 chapters with 7 runes described and illustrated in each chapter that relate to the elfin magicks that guide us in the spiritual evolution of the elfae peoples — The Magic, Healing, Thaumaturgy, Enchantment, Sorcery, Wizardry, and Witchcraft. These 7 groups of runes relate to an important energy on each of the points of the seven-pointed elven star: with Magic relating to the first point of the star or Will; Healing relating to the second point or Love; Thaumaturgy to the third point or Art; Enchantment to the fourth point or Innovation; Sorcery to the fifth point or Truth; Wizardry to the sixth point or Reflection; and Witchcraft to the seventh point or Celebration.

The Elfin Star Runes: Following the Elf Star to Faerie

     The Elfin Star Runes may be used to assist you in what you need to develop as you progress upon the Elven Way for s’elf development and further awakening to your elven nature. They also may be used as an oracle system to know what the wisdom of the ancient elven has to say to you. We Silver Elves often draw an elfin star rune for further information to accompany our daily spiritual practice of throwing the I-Ching or in a tarot reading about a specific question for which we are in need of guidance. The Elfin Star Runes may also be used for your magic to write words in both English and Arvyndase, the magical language of the Silver Elves, and also in numbers.

All 49 runes or sigils for these runes can be laid upon an elven star and will be found to conform to the various lines of the star. Thus, we call them The Elfin Star Runes.

“All that we do and all that we say, affects all our life on each every day so you do your best as the fae that you are and the rest we will trust to our bright elven star.”

— by The Silver Elves

To read more about the meaning of the 7-pointed Elven Star, we invite you to read
Through the Mists of Faerie: A Magical Guide to the Wisdom Teachings of the Ancient Elven (excerpt is below).

“The Seven Pointed Star, which in its acute form is called by us the Elf Star and by the faeries the Faery Star, is a great symbol of the Elven People and represents many things to us, including but not exclusive to our association with the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades, the seven root races of humanity with their seven sub-races, the seven chakras, and the seven rays of manifestation.”

“It is also representative of the seven magical achievements that elevate us toward the realm of the Shining Ones that we call Elfin Faerie, which is to say these achievements illuminate our beings with light.”

The First Magical Achievement – Presence

“The Sense of the Presence is a realization of the Eternal within one’s s’elf. While our current form is transitory, the energy that composes it is Eternal, and within this energy and attached to it is our Potential S’elf, the Illuminated Shining One that exists in potential and that we are in the process of shaping and bringing into realization. We actualize it. As we become increasingly aware of our true s’elf, we become ever closer to Elfin, and our own Shining Nature. Sensing this presence within us, which is sensing our true nature and its eternal aspect, is a key achievement of the path.”

“At first, this Presence appears as being outside of us. We sense Elfin and the supra-dimensional realms as being separate from us, calling to us from afar; but in time we realize it is in fact our own s’elves calling to us. The Call comes from within and it comes from our future s’elves, who are ever existent within us, and ever striving toward realization. Again, at first this Presence within may seem separate from us but what it wants and what we want are really one and the same, and we come in time to realize, in fact, that we are really one and the same. When we remove all that is illusionary from our being, we are left with our own true s’elf; and that s’elf is the Eternal Presence that is ever a part of us, and ever us.”

“At times this Presence manifests in the form of fantasies and imagination concerning our potential. There is no harm in this, however, it is important that we are able to distinguish the differences between our fantasies about ours’elves, and the reality of our current level of development. Many when they are young elves spend a great deal of time in the fantasy, usually as a means of escaping reality, and proclaim far and wide their titles, powers and abilities, which are theirs in potential, but not as yet actualized. At some point one steps beyond this stage and begins the real work of making the potential real. This is a long process and requires great perseverance and many give up when they realize how very long the Quest is, and how very much effort it requires. In time, however, one realizes that no matter how long it takes one will never get there if one doesn’t begin and continue on persistently. This first step, while seemingly small, is really a huge leap forward.”

Please join us dear Kindred, in our healing spell on Elven Star Day for our Mother Earth! We have also written it in Arvyndase so you may say it in our elven magical language, although it is of course the intent in your heart that is most important.

Elven Star spell:
“By the Elf Star the Earth is healed
And to our magic all do yield.”

“La tae Êlda Mêl tae Eldanil da hyrnïn

We Silver Elves are so very happy to announce the publication of our 70th book THE ELFIN STAR RUNES: Following the Elf Star to Faerie. Our 70 books are on elfin life and magic, elven oracles, our elven language Arvyndase, and living The Elven Way, and we know you will find The Elfin Star Runes both wondrous and delightful to help you on your path to manifest Faerie in your life.

     The Elfin Star Runes: Following the Elf Star to Faerie contains descriptions of an original elven rune set of 49 runes. It is set up into 7 chapters with 7 runes described and illustrated in each chapter that relate to the elfin magicks that guide us in the spiritual evolution of the elfae peoples — The Magic, Healing, Thaumaturgy, Enchantment, Sorcery, Wizardry, and Witchcraft. These 7 groups of runes relate to an important energy on each of the points of the seven-pointed elven star: with Magic relating to the first point of the star or Will; Healing relating to the second point or Love; Thaumaturgy to the third point or Art; Enchantment to the fourth point or Innovation; Sorcery to the fifth point or Truth; Wizardry to the sixth point or Reflection; and Witchcraft to the seventh point or Celebration.

     The Elfin Star Runes may be used to assist you in what you need to develop as you progress upon the Elven Way for s’elf development and further awakening to your elven nature. They also may be used as an oracle system to know what the wisdom of the ancient elven has to say to you. We Silver Elves often draw an elfin star rune for further information to accompany our daily spiritual practice of throwing the I-Ching or in a tarot reading about a specific question for which we are in need of guidance. The Elfin Star Runes may also be used for your magic to write words in both English and Arvyndase, the magical language of the Silver Elves, and also in numbers.

     All 49 runes or sigils for these runes can be laid upon an elven star and will be found to conform to the various lines of the star. Thus, we call them The Elfin Star Runes.  

     Complete instructions are included in the book for making, drawing, and interpreting the elven star runes. It is really up to you, but we suggest that you draw two runes. The reason for this is two fold: 1.) two runes will give you quite a lot of guidance because you will have both the meanings of each rune and the meaning of the relationship between the two runes to read in this book and to consider in your oracle, and 2.) we Silver Elves have always found that elven spirits much prefer to work together and so if you are using the runes you draw as sigils in your magic, then it is best to have two if possible.

     The acute angled seven-pointed star, which is often called the faerie star these days, was first associated in the 1970’s with we elves of modern times and called the elven star by the Elf Queen’s Daughters of which we Silver Elves were a part and who first awakened us to our elven nature back in the mid 1970’s (for more on this see our books Elf Magic Mail, Vols. 1 & 2). We continued using the elven star in our own elf letters that we sent out first by snail mail in the late 70s, the 80s and 90s and then later, with the invention of the internet, by email (see our books The Magical Elven Love Letters, Vols. 1, 2 & 3). We also very commonly and quite often wore elven stars as amulets and still today have them as talismans all over our eald (elven home and demesne).

     Somewhere, or some when, we don’t know exactly but surely in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s, the faerie community adopted the elf star and started calling it the faerie star. We don’t mind, but we do think we elfae folk should know something of our own history and we still reserve the right to refer to it as the Elven Star even if nearly everyone else now calls it the Faerie Star, for it is one and the same. And when you come down to it, all we elves are fae from the Faerie Realm but not all fae are elves … or faeries for that matter.

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!
