What is The Elven Way?

 

The Elven Way is not one path but a myriad of paths all leading to individual realization, which is to say making real and manifesting our true nature. And what is our nature? Our nature is to be ours'elves. And how do we discover who that is? We do it by examining our attractions and instinctual intuition and feelings. And by this we come to understand who we wish to be, because we wish to be certain beings because that's who we are. Dragons don't wish to be elves. Trolls don't wish to be faeries. We are all attracted to our own s'elves. Although, it is true there are those who are of mixed races, elf and dragon, elf and faerie, etc. Upon the Elven Way, it is all possible.



     We Silver Elves are asked "What is The Elven Way" perhaps more than any other question about our elven life and path. The answer is both very simple and quite complicated. The simple answer is that the Elven Way is the spiritual path of we Silver Elves and other elfae beings who wish to refine, improve and develop thems'elves in every way that they can in harmony with their own increasing understanding of who they are as an elfin being and in harmony with Nature and the Divine Magic. 

     That's the simple part. Here's where it gets complicated. We don't really have any rules other than as much as possible be polite and courteous. That is not a necessity but it is a basic wisdom of the Way. It makes for a lot less obstructions in the long run. And yes, there are people out there who will ridicule you for being an elf or faerie or dragon or whatever you are and are striving to manifest as, but, really, we Silver Elves have found that being courteous to them is the most effective way to deal with them. It unravels their expectations. That and the fact that you just have to shine some people on and, as Behavioral Psychology advises us, ignore them and give them no energy whatsoever. Otherwise, it's like feeding a stray dog. Which is okay if you don't mind it coming around, but not advisable if it is a dog that keeps trying to bite you.

     Also, we don't have any doctrines. Other than do your utmost to be your best of whatever kind of elfae sort you are and ever seek to improve yours'elf in whatever way you can. But defining what that is and how to do that is entirely up to the individual. For we elfae folk are an eccentric, individualistic bunch of folk, even while we, or most of us, love being together. This is difficult for many of those who are just beginning on the path, for they are seeking instruction on how to do this and all we can say is 'be yours'elf'. We do, however, learn from each other, especially our elvish magic. However, it is not so much a matter of imitating other elfae in detail but imitating our tendency to each be unique as each individual defines it for their own s'elf. Is that clear? We don't have followers; we just have kindred on the path. We don't have teachers; we just have all of us learning from each other.



     Further, we don't have dogmas. There is nothing you absolutely have to believe in order to participate on the Elven Way. Except, it helps if you believe in yours'elf and your own elfin nature and naturally it helps if you believe in magic because if you don't, you're unlikely to believe in yours'elf as a magical being. And, of course, it makes it harder to experience or recognize the magical nature of life overall. This doesn't mean that one cannot also believe in science but it is important to understand that science is a methodology for exploring and coming to comprehend Nature and the Universe and the accumulated data and the theories about it so far. We are not against science because we are in harmony with Nature and the Universe. Science merely seeks to reveal those things.

     And when we say we seek to live in harmony with Nature, we mean exactly that. Elfae beings, at least those upon the Elven Way, don't seek to exploit Nature but to live in harmony with it and with all other beings, in as much as possible. We generally tend to be recyclable, renewable, sustainable lifestyle sorts of folk. Thus, we believe in reincarnation. We are into permaculture and generally prefer less concrete in our world and more trees and bushes. We like our cities covered in vines, with fruit trees along the roads so there is food for everyone. 

     As to living in harmony with the Divine Magic, this means that while we are not religious folk, although one could have relationships with various deities if they wished upon the Elven Way, that is up to them, we do believe in a unifying energy that lives in all of us, which is magical and which seeks its perfection through our own being, each and every one of us. We are the atoms of its being.

     So, first discover who you are, which is also who you wish to be as an elfae being. Elfae magic is and has always been, according to the lore, all about making wishes come true. In this case, it is our own wish we are granting and that is the wish to be whomever we wish to be in the first place. So, who do you wish to be? And how do you become that being? You do so by manifesting it through your life. We do so by being the elfae folk we are.

     The Elven Way is not one path but a myriad of paths all leading to individual realization, which is to say making real and manifesting our true nature. And what is our nature? Our nature is to be ours'elves. And how do we discover who that is? We do it by examining our attractions and instinctual intuition and feelings. And by this we come to understand who we wish to be, because we wish to be certain beings because that's who we are. Dragons don't wish to be elves. Trolls don't wish to be faeries. We are all attracted to our own s'elves. Although, it is true there are those who are of mixed races, elf and dragon, elf and faerie, etc. Upon the Elven Way, it is all possible.

     Ultimately, we come to understand that we are not our bodies. Our bodies are temporary housing for our spirits. Therefore, we elfae folk upon the Elven Way don't define ours'elves by our physical being but by our spiritual being. Therefore, the fact that we are elves who don't have biological elf ears or faeries who don't have naturally attached faeries wings, etc. doesn't bother us because we know who we are within ours'elves and that is what is really important. At least, that is the case for those of us upon the Elven Way.

     It is a necessity, however, to be tolerant of others. Mutual tolerance is a significant feature of the Elven Way. You can't expect others to respect your unique s'elfhood if you don't respect theirs. Everyone defines thems'elves. None of us have the right to define others. And so it goes on and on through the ages.

A little more on The Elven Way from: ILLUMINATING FAERIE by The Silver Elves (available internationally on Amazon). 
“. . . . The Elven Way is ever changing yet what one is learning is not the path itself but how to successfully travel on the path. It is, in its way, like learning to walk so one can stroll down unfamiliar lanes. Or learning to drive a car so one can travel unknown roads. The key is one’s own ability as a driver. There is no exact map for the way itself (for Faerie is ever changing) but there is a way to improve one’s skill at traveling upon it.”
“Therefore, the emphasis in the Elven Way is ever on s’elf development. And as one develops ones’elf and grows more confident in one’s skills and abilities, without becoming arrogant and thus heedless about them, one naturally feels more at ease with ones’elf and one’s ability to successfully navigate the various worlds one encounters and travels through. And that confidence, along with a sense of purpose one obtains in sharing the Elven Way with others seeking the path, inevitably eases tensions in one’s life and one’s interactions with the world.”
“Although, it is true that the world can be a stressful place. That is part of its dark magic and the web of spells it entangles one within. By its nature and design, the world of men creates tension and we who live within this modern Middle-earth cannot help but be affected by it in some ways. And yet, that is the adventure, too. What adventure doesn’t have its stresses? It is the nature of the quest.”
“But again, as we become more adept within ours’elves and more accustomed and practiced in the ways, our Mastery makes easy what was once very difficult. Even those things that previously seemed as though they might overwhelm us, are now just challenges to overcome.”
“And while the Elven Way is a very individual oriented way, we should remember that we are treading it together, each in our own way, and our frasority (fraternity/sorority) makes light and easy what would be difficult on one’s own. For as we Silver Elves say, “Together our magic is stronger by far.” And far easier and less stressful as well.”
“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.”

Here is an excerpt below to enjoy from The Elven Way, Chapter 9, page 141-143

The Magic of the Shining Ones

"As the awakened elf takes on greater initiation and begins to function creatively in cooperation with the Shining Ones and with Faerie itself, which is to say the Source, the great Magic, hir magical growth is quickened by the increased power and the intensity of the forces that sHe now uses for hir magical creations. Naturally, this causes a rapidity of evolutionary development that will not be found in your average normal person who most often not only doesn’t embrace change, as the adept elf does, but actively avoids it, in fact, is in many ways terrified by its possibilities. This acceptance of new energies and possibilities by the elf, tends to arouse here-to-fore un-accessed parts of hir being, awakening latent talents, powers and abilities. Remember most humans only use a small portion of their brain capacity, and this increase in energetic connection tends to illuminate greater portions of our brains. In time, this development will prove evolutionarily significant."


"There are a number of effects of this evolutionary initiatory development for the adept elf, the first of which is that since the elf’s powers are being heightened, the elf thus has more power to do good, as well as being faced with greater temptation, which is to say opportunity, to misuse this power. This is where the development of magical maturity becomes so very important. The elf comes to understand that magic is the use of will power to create effects in the world, but also that initiation requires the development of magical and enlightened intent. It is not enough to be able to create change according to one’s will, one needs to create the type of change that will rebound positively for hir and all others and bring hir ever closer to Faerie by increasing hir awareness of and actualization of hir own true s’elf."

"Another effect, and this is an effect of growing maturity, is that the elf has a maximized increase in experience compared to most folks. That is to say that the elf experiences in a few years what others often take a lifetime to experience. This is in part why we so often are called old souls, and in fact, this is in part a result of having been through much of this in previous incarnations and are often recapitulating those lifetimes in this one, thus moving through such experiences much more quickly than a normal person tends to do."

"But also this is an effect of our increased vibrational rate in addition to our greater understanding of life and the occult, magical and mystical aspects of life. We process experiences more quickly and have less of a tendency to cling to things we have endured. We are more flexible, adaptable and less resistant to change. We are less likely to struggle with change and more likely to try to shape it to our intent. We always take with us what is valuable for us from our experience, but we are ever moving onward. Also, due to the increased vibrational frequency, we attract those who bring us even more experiences, greater knowledge and understanding. In part, this is a consequence of having cleared much of our karma and having set our course in such a way as to minimalize accumulating more negative karma, and when we do happen to do so, that is take a wrong karmic turn, we deal with it quickly, making adjustments and reparations as soon as we are able."

"Here also comes, with increasing clarity, the realization that our personal Destiny and the Destiny of all beings on our particular planetary system are in most cases intimately entwined. The threads of fate, karma and destiny hold us together lifetime after lifetime. And it is at this point that the adept elf begins to realize that the development of her power and abilities, the increasing power of her true s’elf, is not only in her own best interest, but in keeping with the true interest of everyone else as well. Thus it is also at this time that the elf plunges hirs’elf near totally into development of hir personal powers. SHe hungers to be greater, to have power in the world, and as long as sHe holds steadfast to hir intent, hir vision and the Elven Way, this is a natural and favorable advance in hir progress. This after all is the test. It is not just about increasing one’s magical and other powers in a world that is, shall we say, magically challenged at this time, but being able as spirits to hold to the greater vision and not fall for the illusion, the maya, that is the world as it appears to be, and therefore become entangled in the endless fulfillment of desires without any understanding of the true goal that we seek to actualize. One must be aware not only of this lifetime, but the progress of what is called liåle in Arvyndase, or samsara in Buddhist philosophy, that is the progress of our soulful spirit through the lifetimes."

magic then swirling as the first step one takes."

By the Powers of Faerie, Now and ForeverMore: 
A Daily Magic of Invoking Faerie and Elfin Over a Year's Time


 We Silver Elves are fond of the number 13, so here is also the elven affirmation for Day 13 included in By the Powers of Faerie, Now and Forevermore:
“I unite with the powers Faerie both within and beyond mys’elf, integrating my consciousness and s’elf awareness and becoming aware of the entirety of my being working in harmony toward the fulfillment of my destiny as an elvish spirit manifesting in the material world to bring about the actualization of Faerie upon the Earth and among the Stars. My inner focus and harmony enable me to perform vast feats of magic and thaumaturgy transforming mys’elf and the world around me for the betterment of all. By the powers of Faerie, now and forevermore.”



And our newest published The Silver Elves book: 



STAR ELVES: Their Customs and Their Magic is all about star elves and by the term Star Elves, we mean elves who have a sense or feeling of having come from the stars. This relationship we feel to the stars may indicate a memory of our ethereal lives before we came to the Earth to manifest in material bodies rather than necessarily having had material bodies out among the stars. In our star lives, we were closer to the ‘star stuff’ we are all composed of and which has now ‘solidified’ into a relatively set form due to gravity. We Silver Elves say that we are the Elves of Starlight, Moonlight and the Radiance of the Forest, and therefore in a way we are Star Elves, Moon Elves and Wood Elves. We are like many elven and elfae folk who also relate to a number of different energies, spirits and kintypes.
