". . . an elf faerie or a faerie elf, or a pixie elf, or whatever, is not simply an elf and a faerie but a mixture that has created something new and wondrous."
Can one be both an elf and a faerie? Why not? Faerie and Elfin are the ethereal realms that we are also making real in the material world through our own
lives and experience. We are manifesting Elfin and Faerie in the world and in
those realms, we can be whomever we wish to be. Of course, that takes a bit of
effort. In our minds and imaginations, the creation of our elfin realms may be
quite fast, really near to spontaneous and instantly arising as say magic is
usually portrayed in books and movies where the magician, witch or wizard waves
their wand, broom or staff and things immediately transform. However, as quick as this may seem to
happen in our imagination, there is a time lapse between when the wand is waved, the spell cast,
the enchantment enunciated and the manifestation of the desired result. In the
material world, this time lapse can be a bit longer, although that is not
always the case. But as the ancient saying goes: Rome wasn't built in a day.
And our manifestation of ours'elves and the creation of our realms may take a
bit of time as well. But then this is about being elfae in the world and living
our lives as so.
It is true that we might transform in an
instant. We might realize that we are elves or faeries, or elfae of some sort,
some combination of elf and faerie, perhaps a being with pointed ears and
faerie wings, and we might alter our lives by changing our consciousness in an
instant. But there is still a necessity of following through with magic, of
making our new realization effective in reality by living it day-to-day. We
make it actual through our actions.
When our daughter was about four years old,
we told her we were elves and she said, in an instant, "I'm an elf
faerie." So, there you have it. We elves take the proclamations of the
littles very seriously. Before their innocence is obscured or challenged by the
madness of the world, they see things purely. So, if a young elf faerie
princess says that she is an elf faerie, then obviously it must be possible to
be both an elf and a faerie. How can anyone deny that? Certainly, we weren't
going to do so, because we made it clear from her earliest days, she could be
or become whatever she desired. Now, some folks would look at it from the
point of view of genetics and the material view of the world. Her father could
be an elf and her mother a faerie and thus she would be part elf and part
faerie, a blending of the two. Just as one may be of mixed racial lineage in
the world, part Asian and part Caucasian or some other combination. The thing
is, these elves just don't look at things that way. Which is to say, we
understand in a certain sense the rules of genetics, and we have seen their
effect in the world, and we are not denying that reality. But elves and
faeries, in our view, are more spiritual races than genetically manifested races,
although we are aware that the idea of genetic elven heritage exists and is not
without some efficacy. It is just that for us our true home in Elfin exists in
the realms of spirit and we are making it real, bringing down into, and
manifesting it in the material world.
Thus, for us, being an elf faerie or a
faerie elf is not like a glass filled with oil and water together but refusing
to be mixed. It is more like a glass of different fruit blended together.
Therefore, you might say that being an elf faerie is like a smoothie. And elf
faeries generally are smoothies. And often a bit sweet. The merging is not two things apart but of
two or more things that have created something new. Perhaps, it is better to
think of salt, which comes together from the combination of elements. It still
contains the elements but they have become something new in their merging. So,
too, an elf faerie or a faerie elf, or a pixie elf, or whatever, is not simply
an elf and a faerie but a mixture that has created something new and wondrous.
We could call them elfae, but we use that term to mean all sorts of elves,
faeries, others and combinations thereof. The Whole is greater than the sum of
its parts, we might say, but really, it is not greater so much as its own unique
being.
If you add red paint (elf, let's say) to
white paint (faerie), you don't get a light red or a reddish white, nor do you
get red on one side and white on the other, like oil and water, what you get is
pink. It becomes something individually combined from other things. So are all
elfae in our way eccentric, unique and individual beings.
Still, making it real in our lives and in
the world is another matter, and that takes effort every day. It is not enough
to be a faerie elf, if you are to manifest it in the world then you must make it
real, to realize it in the material world. Be whatever you wish to be. But back
that wish up with magic, which is to say with the action of living it.

We Silver Elves are happy to announce the publication of another of our original Elven divination systems that we have created to be used by Elfae and all other interested diviners:
STICKS AND STONES, FEATHERS,CHARMS AND BONES:
An Original Oracle of the Elfin Peoples of the Ancient Future.
This oracle 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. To read and excerpt and read more about it, please click here!

Faerie Magic . . . .
"Faerie magic is hedge magic. It's garden magic, too.
It's magic of the thickets and the misty morning dew.
It springs up with the wild flowers and moss in forest vales
and ivy climbing up the walls and ferns so light and frail.
It's found where morning coffee brews and teas in afternoon,
and if it hasn't found you yet it surely will so soon."

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 that
page:

"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)
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!
