"We seek to create what we feel inside on the
outside. To manifest our feelings of what once was into what can be. Thus, we
are the People of the Ancient Future honoring the past and our ancestors, while
striving ever to create a New Dawn of Elfin."
We elves sometime refer to ours'elves as
the People of the Ancient Future, which seems somewhat contradictory. However,
it feels right to us and we elves trust our feelings a great deal. It is not
that we don't value logic and reason. In fact, we are surely some of the most
logical and certainly some of the most reasonable people upon the planet, but
logic is only as good as the facts one has and we've known numerous folks to
use what seems to be logic based upon erroneous assumptions and alternate facts
to support ideas that just don't seem right in our feelings.
This reminds us ever of the scene in the Fellowship of the Ring where Boromir
tries to persuade Frodo to give him the ring and Frodo tells him that while it
all sounds very logical something in his gut tells him it isn't quite true.
There is more to a person than their mental mind and sometimes the only way to
see someone's hidden motives is to look to our own inner feelings.
Thus, while the idea of an Ancient Future
doesn't quite seem logical, it resonates within the elven in a sort of opposite
fashion to Frodo's rejection of Boromir's arguments. For here, something that
doesn't quite seem logical, makes quite a lot of sense to us in our own
feelings and intuition.
Why this is so may have a lot to do with
the fact that according to legend elves are the Elder or Eldar race, the first
born into manifestation. A subtler manifestation truly, as the energy of spirit
first filtered down into the material dimensions, but material being
none-the-less. However, while we are sometimes inspired by legends, myths and
lore, we elves don't necessarily believe everything everyone writes about us,
no matter how ancient or modern the tale. Again, it is our own feelings that
are most important to us as an anchor to our own being and as a means of
discriminating what feels right to us and about us and what doesn't quite jibe
with our own inner sense of being.
Of course, we elves have to be somewhat
careful in that sense. For there are things that don't suit our own sense of
being elfin that makes perfect sense to some other elf. It is ever important to
remember that we elves tend to be eccentric by nature, which is to say, all
very different; that there are myriads of types of elves; and that what fits
one perfectly, like a suit of clothes, may be utterly impossible for another to
wear or simply, in this case, doesn't fit their own sense of style. Thus, when
people ask us to define elves, we always attempt to remain as open as possible
about what we are and what delineates our being.
But most elfin and elfae seem to have a
sense, independent of lore or in keeping with it, that we are, indeed, an
ancient people and most have a sense that we once had a great civilization that
existed either here upon the Earth and/or among the Stars. Some may think that
this civilization still exists but in another dimension as is the case in Freda
Warrington's great book Elfland.
However, if it does, no one seems to know where the threshold is or how to go
through it, and if they did, they are surely long gone. Wouldn't you be?
Most of us elves have realized that if
Elfin is to exist as a place upon the Earth in the current day or in the
future, we must create it. In fact, that is our mission. That is why we've
incarnated again and again. That is our continuing quest. But there is no doubt
that the Elfin we envision, lives within us like an ancient memory just on the
edge of our consciousness. We seek to create what we feel inside on the
outside. To manifest our feelings of what once was into what can be. Thus, we
are the People of the Ancient Future honoring the past and our ancestors, while
striving ever to create a New Dawn of Elfin.

A Spell Cast From My Fingertips . . . . . .
| A |
spell rolls from my
fingertips, unseen
Cast by a mind unknowing
Bringing my Will to Life
In a world far more flexible
Than it imagines.
And if perchance they speak it loud
This enchantment ignited by their breath
Shimmering forth in waves of light
Shaped by my Intent
Made real.
Looking up you’ll see
The world you knew anew
Overlaid with magic
Clinging to the walls
Running down the halls
Slipping through the malls.
Elves and faeries, pixies, eldritch all
And though you did not suspect when you began
This poem
The magic you’d evoke
We thank you for helping Elfin emerge
And wishes long dreamt of, granted.
