Who
are the Silver Elves?
The Silver Elves are a family of elves who have been living and sharing
the Elven Way since 1975. We are the authors of The Elven Book
of Runes, The Magical Elven Love Letters, volume I, The
Magical Elven Love Letters, volume 2, and An Elfin Book of
Spirits, and we have had various articles published in Circle
Network News Magazine. We have created a 30,000+ word Elfin language
called Arvyn, and have given out over 4,000 elven names to interested
individuals. If you wish to know more about us you can read pages
100 to 107 in Circles, Groves and Sanctuaries, compiled by
Dan and Pualine Campanelli (Llewellyn Publications, 1992), which contains
an article by us and photos us and our home/sanctuary as it existed
at the time. You can also find an article about us in volume 4 number3,
issue # 15 of Renaissance Magazine. We are also mentioned numerous
times in Not In Kansas Anymore by Christine
Wicker (Harper San Francisco, 2005), and A Field Guide to Otherkin
by Lupa (Megalithica
Books, 2007).

Our
History
The Silver Elves were first awakened and became part of the Elf Queens
Daughters in 1975. Our sisters (both male and females members were called
sisters) of the EQD taught us how to cast an Astrological Chart, do the
I Ching and various spells of Enchantment. We formed out on Vortex
of the EQD that we called the Elves of the Southern Woodlands in Carbondale,
Illinois, soon thereafter and began participating in the publication of
the Magical Elf Letters. In 1977 the inner circle of the EQD withdrew
into seclusion and ceased publication of the letters. We, however, have
remained in contact with most of these sisters to this day. In 1979 we
moved to Gainesville, Fl., and changed our name to the Sylvan Elves and
began publishing the Magical Elven Love Letters as a continuation
of the Dharma we had vowed to undertake, the sharing of the knowledge
of the Elven Way. In 1981, we relocated to California and took on the
title of the Silver Elves, which has remained our name ever since. In
2008, we relocated to Hawaii where we are currently working on the Magical
Elven Love Letters, vol. 3, An Elfin Book of Dreams: An Oracle
of Faerie, and The Eflin Book of Changes.
The
Elven Way
The Elven Way is the spiritual Path of the Elves. It is not a religion.
While all elves are free to pursue whatever spiritual path they desire,
or not as the case may be, these elves are magicians and follow no particular
religious dogma. We do however believe in all the Gods and Goddesses,
(also Santa Claus [to whom were related], the tooth fairy [distant
cousins] and the Easter or Ostara Bunny [no relation].) and try to treat
them all with due respect. The Elven Way promotes the principles of Fairness,
that is to say both Justice, Elegance and Equal Opportunity and Courtesy
that is respectful in its interactions and attitude toward all beings,
great or small. We understand the world as a magical or miraculous phenomena,
and that all beings, by pursuing their own true path, will become whomever
they truly desire to be. Our path is that of Love and Magic and we share
our way with all sincerely interested individuals.
