Elf Tribes: The Silver Elves’ Guide for Finding Your Magical Kind and Kin

by The Silver Elves

Modern day elfae find it to be very important to have a strong magical narrative of their own in a world that often likes to tell you who you are and who you are not, and mostly quite inaccurately so. It is our hope that reading the magical narratives of elven tribes in ELF TRIBES: The Silver Elves' Guide for Finding Your Magical Kind and Kin will inspire you, our kindred brothers and sisters, to begin if you have not already done so to create your own narrative or add to what you already remember and intuit.

Over the last 30 years or so, we Silver Elves have given out over 6,000 elf names in our magical language Arvyndase to individuals who requested them. For years, many of the individuals who requested an elf name would also write to us and say that they felt that they were elven but didn't know any more about their elven or fae tribe. And for years, we told them that they should trust their imaginations and intuitions and while that is still very good advice, we realized in time that this was not any easy thing to do for many of these kindred of ours who were often newly awakened and needed a bit of guidance upon the path. In response to this, we created The Elf, Faerie, Otherkin Survey, as a means of eliciting the information that we needed from these individuals so we might create a narrative for them about their own magical tribe or clan of Elves, Fae or Others that was germane to them and as close as we could get based upon their responses and our own intuition. Elf Tribes: The Silver Elves' Guide for Finding Your Magical Kind and Kin is dedicated to Tribes of the Elven but we have also created a companion book (see FAERIE, FAE AND OTHERKIN TRIBES: The Silver Elves' Guide for Finding Your Magical Kind and Kin). If you are of faerie, fae or otherkin, you may wish to check it out. And if you are interested in elves, fae and otherkin and in the phenomenon of the awakening in our modern times of the magical folk, you will surely enjoy reading both of these books and delighting in the many magical variations of tribes that are here among us.


The magical narratives we created and that compose this book are based upon the memories or intuitions and thus the responses we were given to the survey about those of elven nature. We would like to thank all the elves who participated in this survey, over 150, and we truly loved their creative responses. Of course, we used our own imagination and intuition in putting their replies into a consistent whole, which was often a challenge but a challenge we very much enjoyed. You will find as you read through the many narratives in this book that the elves are beautifully varied in their magic, healing abilities, art, lifestyle, ancient ways, governance, love of nature, relationship to mankind, preferences, symbols and skills. In putting the tribes and clans in categories, which is not easy concerning elves, we choose to use locales and environments they preferred as a means of doing so. So the book is divided into seven sections according to the basic regions that the elves indicated they each preferred to live in, which includes: the Mountain Elves, the Forest Elves, the Water Elves, the Trooping Elves (traveling between various regions), the Desert Elves, the Plains Elves, and the City Elves.

We Silver Elves certainly enjoyed writing these narratives of elven tribes and also wanted to thank all of you who participated in the WHAT KIND OF ELF, FAE, OR OTHERKIN ARE YOU? survey. Our two new releases, ELF TRIBES: The Silver Elves’ Guide for Finding Your Magical Kind and Kin and FAERIE, FAE AND OTHERKIN TRIBES: The Silver Elves’ Guide for Finding Your Magical Kind and Kin are both dedicated to all those who participated (no specific names are included of course for your privacy). These magical narratives included in these books would not have been possible without you and this wonderful group effort! Just to let everyone know, you may still go to our Silver Elves website and follow the directions to do this survey and we will be happy to gift you your own magical narrative ( http://silverelves.angelfire.com/HAel... ). Or take it again if you have further understanding of yours'elf and would like to deepen the process. Thank you, Dear Kindred!
