"Magic Talks" is a collection of letters between the two sisters, who are the founders of The Elf Queen's Daughters (in 1973), Arwen and Elanor, and The Silver Elves, Zardoa and Silver Flame. This is the first book in a series of Tulku Internet correspondence beginning in November of 2011 and ending in February 2012. Arwen and Elanor are also the original publishers of the "Magic Elf Letters" sent out from the Elf Queen's Daughters. They published three letters a week for about three years. In the early 1979 the Silver Elves carried on these letters calling them "The Magical Elven Love Letters" and continued writing and publishing them for the next 30 years, although on a much more whimsical schedule. There are a number of letters in "Magic Talks" discussing how Arwen and Elanor first started using the acute seven-pointed star as a symbol of the Elven people, passed on by Zardoa Silverstar, which has been adopted by elven and faerie folk all over the globe, and is called both the Elven Star and the Faerie Star. The letters contained in "Magic Talks" cover a wide range of topics from Tolkien to Sorcery, from Esoteric Buddhism and the Supra-dimensional to Elven Magic.

There is so much knowledge packed in this book! It's fascinating! I think this book by the Silver Elves is particularly special because it also has writing contributed by the Elf Queen's Daughters, who have a unique and eclectic view and are (as far as I can tell) the elder elven group from which the Silver Elves emerged. I found it particularly interesting to read about how they were responsible for first adopting the 7 pointed star as the elven star many years ago and how this spread around the world as the faery-elven star. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next in this series!
