Thus the Elfin Necromancer can give us insight into the past and help reveal those things that seemed lost to history. However, it is important to understand that simply because one contacts the shard of the past doesn't mean that those shards are any more honest nor is their memory any more accurate or their perceptions less biased than when they were alive.
Often and perhpas most importantly the Elfin Necromancer can help those who have passed over in their transitional states as they evolve in the after material life. So too, does the Elfin Necromancer help those who are drawing near to death or are in the process of dying to find their way through the various Bardo States that the newly freed often confront. Thus the Elfin Book of Life Eternal or the Elven Book of the Dead as it might be known among men comes under the provence of and is a practical guide for the Elfin Necromancer. Therefore, it would not be unusual for Elfin Necromancers to work in the mundane world in graveyards, funeral homes or hospices.
Some might think this a ghoulish advocation but the Elfin Necromancers are far from ghoulish or even somber. They bring light and hope to those in the midst of what is often a frightening and difficult transition. They soothe the fearful and remind us of the connectedness and continuity of the Life process. They remind us that Death is not the opposite of Life but a transformational process within it.
Often called the Angels of Death the Elfin Necromancers attend the dying with a gentleness, love and kindness that eases their passage into those more subtle planes and makes their final days in physical manifestation comfortable and filled with hope. They are truly the torch that lights the way into the dark and unknown.
While most people look upon death as an ending, the Elfin Necromancers view it as a new beginning, literally a birth into the Life of the Soul for which the physical plane has been but the womb.

One of the main tools of the Elfin Necromancer is the ouija board. Are you mature enough to use one? In most cases, there is always someone manipulating the board to make something happen. In all too many cases people call up some demonic force, scare thems'elves senseless and never go near a ouija board again. Are you sure you're mature enough to use one? Oh, we've had people brag to us about how great they were once with the board but the only people we've ever really observed use one with true efficiency and accuracy was the Elf Queen's Daughters of long ago and they were major magicians and occultists.
Finally, are you ready to face death? Not just your own but the fact of death... to be surrounded with it? That is often what this path requires. Are you up to that?
