title: The Magical Realms of Elfin: Answers to Questions About Being an Elf and Following the Elven Path
author:  The Silver Elves 
description: 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. The Silver Elves do however believe in all the Gods and Goddesses, (also Santa Claus to whom they're related, the tooth fairy as a distant cousin, and the Easter or Ostara Bunny, no relation.) and they try to treat them all with due respect. The Silver Elves 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. The path of the Silver Elves is that of Love and Magic and they share their way with all sincerely interested individuals. You can read about the Silver Elves in the book <i>Faery Craft</i> by Emily Carding. <br /><br />The Silver Elves are a family of elves who have been living and sharing the Elven Way since 1975. They are the authors of 41 books on elven magic and enchantment and The Elven Way, including: <i>The Book of Elven Runes: A Passage Into Faerie;</i> <i>The Magical Elven Love Letters, </i>volume<i> 1, 2, </i>&amp;<i> 3; An Elfin Book of Spirits: Evoking the Beneficent Powers of Faerie; Caressed by an Elfin Breeze: The Poems of Zardoa Silverstar; Eldafaryn: True Tales of Magic from the Lives of the Silver Elves; Arvyndase (Silverspeech): A Short Course in the Magical Language of the Silver Elves; The Book of Elven Magick: The Philosophy and Enchantments of the Seelie Elves, </i>volume<i> 1 &amp; 2; What An Elf Would Do: A Magical Guide to the Manners and Etiquette of the Faerie Folk; The Elven Tree of Life Eternal: A Magical Quest for One's True S'Elf; The Elven Way: The Magical Path of the Shining Ones; and The Book of Elf Names: 5,600 Elven Names to use for Magic, Game Playing, Inspiration, Naming One's Self and One's Child, and as Words in the Elven Language of the Silver Elves. </i>

  # **The High Mage**
  
  
  “I cannot read your heart,” Kileontheal whispered. “What have you done to
  yourself, Araevin?”

  mages asked him. In the end he could see that nothing except the truth would

  Sildëyuir. He was a student of Ithraides of Arcorar. The rite has fitted me to
  wield high magic in a tradition that Evermeet has forgotten.”
