"....we decided to take on another name, this time choosing the
Silver Elves, a name that seemed particularly appropriate as we saw ours'elves
as the Elves of the Silvery Moon, the Silver Stars, and the Silver Forest all
rolled into one.... unlike many elves, we don't see our
tribe as being descended by blood from a particular set of elven folk but are a
tribe composed of various folk from a number of different tribes."
People sometimes
ask us why we call ours'elves the Silver Elves and like many things having to
do with elves and our culture there is more than one answer to that question.
We could say we call ours'elves the Silver Elves because we are the Silver
Elves, which while true is hardly likely to satisfy the inquiring minds of
those who approach us and wish and expect definite answers, rather than elven
circle talk, in reply. After all, they are actually looking for something that
brings understanding to their own approach to Elfin and something that they can
attach thems'elves to or that helps them gain greater understanding of their
own elven natures. They sometimes feel that they are awash in the sea of
normality and they are looking to us to throw them a life preserver.
And we could as
well, and this is really the deep and primal truth, say that we call ours'elves
the Silver Elves because we really like the name. As some may know we first
started calling ours'elves the Elves of the Southern Woodlands when we were a
vortex of the Elf Queen's Daughters in the 70s, associated intimately with those elves who
lived farther north of us that we've come to refer to as the Fox River Elves,
mainly because they lived in a house on the banks of the Fox River in Aurora,
Il. Each vortex of the EQD had a name and there were a dozen or so worldwide.
Later, they moved
west to California to join with other kindred there and we moved to Florida, after living
with the founders of the sisterhood. And while we
could have gone on calling ours'elves by our EQD vortex name, the Elves of the Southern Woodlands, and
that surely would have made sense, we decided that a migration deserved a new
name as well and so we began calling ours'elves the Sylvan Elves or sometimes
the Sylvyn Elves. But then after a couple of years we migrated again, this time
to California and we decided to take on another name, this time choosing the
Silver Elves, a name that seemed particularly appropriate as we saw ours'elves
as the Elves of the Silvery Moon, the Silver Stars, and the Silver Forest all
rolled into one.
Now these elves
associate ours'elves mainly with the fourth ray of manifestation, which
traditionally has green as an associative color. But for us silver, which is a
form of gray, thus a blending of black and white, and also rainbow, which is to
say all the colors together and blended, is better suited to this ray. For this
is a ray of synthesis and creativity and unlike many elves, we don't see our
tribe as being descended by blood from a particular set of elven folk but are a
tribe composed of various folk from a number of different tribes.
We are a
synthesis of elfin folk and like those who awakened us, the Elf Queen's Daughters, and nurtured our elven identity, we are a frasority of elfin
dedicated to helping, awakening and aiding our people in their own search for
their true natures. Thus anyone who wishes to join us and is genuine and
sincere in hir devotion to that mission and quest may very well be adopted into
our tribe no matter what tribe hir ancestors may have been.
At the same time,
having become the authors of 45+ books on elfin magic and philosophy, and using
the name The Silver Elves as our nom-de-plume, the name has become a signal to
our kindred of the reality of Elfin and our manifestation in this world. In a
certain sense, you may say the name stuck and we have kept it ever since and
are unlikely to change it for any migration save that of death. What we shall
call ours'elves in our next life, we haven't decided as yet.
Kyela,
The Silver Elves

"Elfin, Faerie, Elfland or the Sacred Realm or Dimension of
Magic that lives at the heart of the Universe, is an incredibly attractive
power. It draws all true souls to it. It calls to the Elfin nature in each and
every soul. This is the power that arouses the imagination of those who see or
read the Lord of the Rings and say,
I’m an Elf or I’m a Dwarf, or even I’m an Orc. The power calls to us through
Urban Fantasy stories and the fantasy novels of old, as well as, faery tales
and movies of magic and enchantment. But it also calls to us from the trees,
the wild places of Nature, and sometimes most of all from magic memories of our
childhood, which is really our ancient past, our past incarnations, calling to
us. It can also be aroused, and quite strongly, perhaps most strongly, by
others of our kind manifesting in the world. There is something magical about
these beings and they arouse our own hunger for magic in our own lives and
souls. These Elfae radiate starlight. They glimmer with love, kindness and
compassion; and they reach out and touch our souls. Some might suppose this to
be a glamor, a magic they have wrapped thems’elves within to enchant us; but
while they are truly enchanting, the magic arises from the fact that they are
genuine and real. They don’t need to glamor us. They just need to be their very
own s’elves, for that is the most impressive magic of all. They are not trying,
they are simply being: being thems’elves, being elves."

Faerie Ethers Strong and Bright
Faerie
ethers strong and bright
Do weave
together realms of light
And from our
minds dimensions born
The dawn’s
rays whisper to the morn
And like a
child about to sleep
We trust
our magic spells will keep
The wicked
ones afar at bay
But read it
again, again we say
Oh, one
more time, be sure to tell
The things
we already know so well
We’ll go to
sleep without a peep
Until the
morning light does seep
And wake us
up with morning dew
Remembering
dreams of what is true
As elves do
leap about and prance
Magic,
life’s eternal dance.
—From An Elven Game of Rhymes: Book Two of Magical Poems of Zardoa Silverstar by the Silver Elves
If you are feeling elven adventuresome, you might also enjoy our Elven Tree of Life Eternal: A Magical Quest for One's True S'Elf. You can either go to our website and enter our magical forest for this exploration and enjoy it online or purchase it in a convenient book form. Enjoy!
The Elven Tree of Life Eternal: A Magical Quest for One's True S'Elf is set up like a choose your
own adventure book for those who wish to undertake the challenge to discover their
true magical s'elves. It will help one understand if one is a wyzard or a
sorcerer, a healer or a warrior, an elf of wood, snow, hill, ocean, starlight,
or a sprite, a faerie, a gnome, a dwarf, a changeling, a dragon, or some other
magical folk. If you wonder about your true magical nature, explore the
ever-flowering branches of The Tree of Life Eternal.And to go with the Elven Tree of Life Eternal are our short stories:
These are a collection of short stories by Zardoa Silverstar,
one of the Silver Elves. You will find within this book a western, a detective
story, parodies of popular movie and television characters, and re-imaginings
of traditional fairy tales all told from an elven point of view in Zardoa’s wry
irreverent pixie style. We trust you will enjoy them as much as we do.
The stories in Elven Silver were originally written to go along
with the Elven Tree of Life to explore your magical being in our Elven Tree of
Life Eternal. In the Elven Tree of Life Eternal, there are different types of
elves and faeries that you can come out to be and the bottom has choices of
what kind of magic you wield. So these stories in Elven Silver were originally
written to go with those. But then we realized that it would be far too much to
read on a website, so we made the stories into a book. We have also made the
Elven Tree of Life into a book titled The Elven Tree of Life Eternal: A Magical
Quest for One's True S'Elf, much like a choose your own adventure book, to use
to explore your magical nature.
