The Silver Elves Blog

Welcome! We are The Silver Elves and have been living and sharing the Elven Way since 1975. In this blog we will share with you the philosophy, magic and lifestyle of being elven by answering some of the questions that people ask us the most. We are authors of 39 books on Magic and Enchantment and The Elven Way, and will be sharing in this blog about these as well.
