Book excerpt: Elven Psychology: Understanding the Elfin Psyche and the Evolutionary and Esoteric Purpose of Mental Disorders expands the realms of modern psychology, which has never before included the elves and otherkin population as being real. If one says that they are an elf, most psychologists today will still hold you in suspect of having a delusionary disorder and try to evaluate you further. We explain in Elven Psychology why from a standard psychological point of view that believing you are an elf does not in itself constitute a disorder even in traditional psychology, and then we go much further and explore the disorders and psychological struggles that we observe in our modern society in both normal folk and elves/otherkin. This book is written from a unique elven perspective about the present day human condition, which includes an exploration of the psyche of both normal folk and elfae. We elves are elven by spirit, so our entrance into humanity is the addition of a new spiritual race, not a new physical race, and elves have been born in these modern times into all physical races, as well as most cultures and religions throughout the world. In fact, there are many who are following esoteric Ancient Wisdom Traditions, as well as some Tolkienists, who through the process of benevolent evolution, see 'elf as the new normal' or majority of humankind in the not so distant future. So, it is important to update many areas of academia that explore, express, and explain human life; psychology being one of these. In modern times, we Elves and otherkin have reincarnated in human form and thus the human population today has become even more diverse due to our presence. And since elves and otherkin are constantly growing in our own diversity and variations (we are an ever diversifying people), the human populous of which we are now a part is also becoming more varied by the day. This may sound like fiction to the 'normal folk, ' but just ask thousands around the world who understand thems'elves to be elves or otherkin, including all manner of faerie folk, and they will tell you with certainty that it is real. We look toward the future of humankind with our elven souls and know that we must all learn to unite, normal folk and elfae alike, to accept each other for all our uniqueness and beautiful variations. Both authors, Zardoa and Silver Flame, who write under the pen name The Silver Elves, have advanced graduate degrees in Depth Psychology and Art Therapy. We have used our academic and clinical backgrounds as well as life experiences living and sharing the Elven Way for over 40 years to identify a new way of perceiving the struggles of elves and otherkin living in the stressful modern world that sometimes results in psychological discomforts, as well as identifying the disorders of normal folk that have yet to be written about in modern psychology. While these are not the disorders you would find in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) that is published by the American Psychiatric Association as a standard criteria for the classification of mental disorders, in our opinion they need to be included to begin updating clinical psychology to include the existence of elven and faerie folk and our perspective. While we do not really support the use of categories like in the DSM to describe mental discomfort (people are far more complex than to limit our understanding of them by psychological classifications), we are adding the elven perspective and new classifications as a way of updating this important discipline. Since both of us had a number of graduate classes in the study of the DSM required for various clinical psychology degrees, we have long had many discussions together on how the elven perspective has been left out of the DSM. So here in Elven Psychology we share them with you in an often tongue in cheek fashion. If the elves were to write their own DSM, this book would be a good start!

Download or read book Living the Personal Myth written by The Silver The Silver Elves and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living the Personal Myth was written by Zardoa Silverstar of the Silver Elves. It is a unique narrative about a psychological study of the magic of living one's personal myth, in effect, making one's dream and vision of one's self come true by living it. It is a personal guide to becoming one's true s'elf as one inwardly knows one's s'elf to be. What makes this book particularly interesting is that the author considers himself to be an elf, yet he has an astute scientific mind that he uses to psychologically examine his identification with the otherkin world. He explores his personal myth and life as an elf and demonstrates how basing one's myth on real events in one's life empowers one's myth and one's magic. Whatever or whoever you are, this book is a potent guide to realizing one's genuine, and potentially powerful, magical and fantastic, nature. The author uses dream work techniques, oracle readings, and active imagination to take us through a depth psychology exploration of his own experience in the individuation process of becoming a whole person whose unconscious and conscious elements are integrated and who is a unique individual. Much of the material in this book is based on a depth process study he conducted at Sonoma State University in the Depth Psychology Department in 2005. This work suggests "Personal Myth" to be an understanding of the self that incorporates the symbolic, imaginal and fantasy elements of the unconscious and accepts them as real within their own realms of being. It is the author's belief that the Personal Myth is the unconscious' understanding of the individual spirit's Cosmic aspirations and potentialities. In that way, Personal Myth is seen as the personality of the unconscious and of the individual's spirit.

Book excerpt: In THE NEW DAWN OF ELFIN, The Silver Elves continue with a volume 3 of their question and answer series addressing the numerous questions about who the elves are and about the Elven Way. In this book series, they address questions that have been posed to them throughout their 40+ years of following the Elven Way and sharing with the world that they are elves in spirit inhabiting human bodies (also see The Magical Realms of Elfin, volume 1, and Manifesting Elfin, volume 2. The New Dawn of Elfin explores further questions about elven tribes and relationships; elven magic and healing; the elven worldview and modern elven life; elven awakening and being on the path to Elfin; elfin spirit and soul and elven psychology; more about Arvyndase, the magical language of the Silver Elves; elves in myths and legions; elven awakening and entering Elfin; more about being otherkin; elven views on dreaming, astral travel, visualization, and death; and the New Dawn and Return of Faerie.Most often, a person has questions as one tries: to decide if one is ones'elf an elf or is some otherkin; to understand what it means to be an elf and how one might know of one's elfin nature; to understand one's experience of having an Elven Awakening; to determine how elven magic is alike or different from that performed by other spiritual groups; and to learn about how elves live and relate to mankind and otherkin. Some of the specific questions answered in The New Dawn of Elfin are: Can anyone be an elf? Do elves really Awaken to being elfin? How does one begin on the Path to Elfin? Are elves immortal? Are the Silver Elves high elves or low elves? What is the elven worldview? Who are the elven rangers and the elf scouts? Are Vulcans elves? Do elves believe that true love exists? What is the elven spirit? Are elves and elfae human? What is the magic of being an elf? Do elves do weather working magic? How do elven witches differ from other witches? Can magicians summon elves? What is high elven magic? What is the elven worldview? What do the elves think about the modern world of humans straying from being united with Nature? Why do elves need money? How does one begin on the path to Elfin? What can we do to help manifest Elfin? Are there Elven priests, or monks, nuns, rabbis, etc.? Does the spiritual path of the Elven require vows? Is an elven soul different than a human soul? How do elves deal with their emotions? Does Arvyndase (the magical language of the Silver Elves) have dialects? Do we elves exchange our own babies for those of the normal folk? Are Elves Nature Spirits? Was Merlin an Elf? Was Gandalf an elf? Do elves love wine as Tolkien seemed to indicate? What is the difference between a shapeshifter and someone who is an otherkin blend? Is it common for family members to share the same otherkin type? What is the importance of astral travel, lucid dreaming and out of the body experience? What do we elves think of death? When Faerie returns will there still be a race of Men? Are there actually portals to Elfin? Kyela, The Silver Elve

Download or read book The Elves from Ancient Times to Our Days written by Nikolay Lyapanenko and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ELVES FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO OUR DAYS: THE MAGICAL HERITAGE OF "STARRY PEOPLE" AND THEIR CONTINUATION INTO THE MODERN WORLD is a distinctive and comprehensive combination of both scientific and historical research along with also philosophical and esoterical discussions, dedicated to all elves: ancient and modern ones. This book is perhaps the first to cover such a wide scope of content about the history, scientific origin, psychology, philosophy and life style of the elves, both in the past and present. Also it is a one-of-a-kind tome because it includes the author's English translations, which have not previously been published, of many stories and historical accounts that were originally written in Russian and European languages about elven folklore and of scientific descriptions about the ancient Slavic and European elves. This book is written for everyone: for the awakened elf who is following the spiritual path of the elves; for the wanderer who is in search of hir way and has only started an acquaintance with the elves, and also for those who deny the existence of the elves. We are living in a unique era and in a unique moment in time. It is a time when everything in the world is changing, consciousness is changing and people are starting to wake up, to evolve and to transform and new magical knowledge opens the doors to everyone. It's time to collect the fragments of old memories and finally discover that the truth about the elves is not just about characters of fairy tales and legends, but that they are ancient folk - real persons - who always have existed and never disappeared and continue to live among the common people in our days!

Download or read book A Rhetoric of the Unreal written by Christine Brooke-Rose and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-10-15 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1981 book is a study of wide range of fiction, from short stories to tales of horror, from fairy-tales and romances to science fiction, to which the rather loose term 'fantastic' has been applied. Cutting across this wide field, Professor Brooke-Rose examines in a clear and precise way the essential differences between these types of narrative against the background of realistic fiction. In doing so, she employs many of the methods of modern literary theory from Russian formalism to structuralism, while at the same time bringing to these approaches a sharp critical intuition and sound common sense of her own. The range of texts considered is broad: from Poe and James to Tolkien; from Flann O'Brien to the American postmodernism. This book should prove a source of stimulation to all teachers and students of modern literary theory and genre, as well as those interested in 'fantastic' literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to untaming yourself on a quest to discover your inner Sidhe nature, your ElvenHeart, for wholeness, healing, and awakening • Explores who the Sidhe are and shares close encounters with them in our modern world • Invites you to discover your ElvenHeart by journeying through the four portals of the StoneAnchor, the FlowDancer, the FireDreamer, and the WindSinger • Offers gifts in the form of simple exercises to bring you into contact with your magical kin and rewild yourself Awaken to your closest kin, the Sidhe (pronounced “Shee”), and let them inspire you to rediscover your gentle, wild, innermost nature, your ElvenHeart. Also known as the Faery People or the Good Neighbors, the Sidhe are not just figments of human imagination. They are reaching out to us, encouraging a reunion with humanity, and inviting us to partner with them in restoring wholeness to the world. As they reveal, serving Gaia or healing the Earth from the present crisis is not a convenience--it is a necessity. Offering an experiential guide to reconnecting with the Sidhe and our inner ElvenHeart, Søren Hauge explores who the Sidhe are, how both humanity and the Sidhe emerged from a common ancestor, and how their untamed nature and deep wisdom bears significance for an aspect of our inner being that has gone to sleep. While the Sidhe did not enter the physical dimension as deeply as we did, they are real beings, very close to us, and different from angels, devas, and nature spirits. Søren introduces his own Sidhe contact, Fjeldur, and shares close encounters others have had with these beings in our modern world. He also takes you on a journey of rewilding through four portals--the StoneAnchor, the FlowDancer, the FireDreamer, and the WindSinger--to discover the treasure of your ElvenHeart at the core of your being. In the course of this, Søren offers gifts in the form of simple exercises that help bring you into contact with your magical kin and your inner Sidhe nature. Through this wild quest, the journey of untaming yourself, you will connect with your Sidhe partners, unfold their inner gifts in your own being, and rediscover the forgotten land of innocent wildness and gentle power within you.
