I am trying to find my path in life and have been enjoying the magical and mysterious wonders along my path on Earth. I love gardening, healing, herbalism, spending time with animals and immersing myself in nature, where I feel most at home. I as well love learning about herbalism, aromatherapy, plants, divination, flower essences and above all the Elves and the Sidhe. I have this longing in my heart to unite with them, as I have often felt rather un-human, and am trying to discover who I really am.
Welcome to Elven World! I hope you will enjoy this place and the community of Elven who are here as your friends! I hope you will feel very much at home, away from home, so to speak, here. ;-)
Yes, quanelle is a moon elven word meaning thank you or my thanks to you. I am writing a moon elven dictionary. There are those out there who have made their own dictionaries, but no one can forget J.R.R. Tolkiens quenyan/sindarin dictionaries. I hope to eventually add my dictionary to the list of those available out there. The Grey Company has their own that is "Talkinesque" (meaning it is based majorly on Tolkiens structure and words), and there is a moon elven clan (not sure if it still is together) based in Vermont that has their own dictionary they call Sulintrii. I've not worked on my projects this year as much as I should have, but with hope I can get myself settled and get it done in time. Its alot of work but its something I feel I need to do.
When it comes to learning, no matter if someone has become a master or is just beginning on their path, we are always in a state of learning regardless of how many books we've read, how many certificates we have achieved, how many titles we give ourselves. The one place when beginning on your path is the one essential rule you must always follow - Know who you are. Once you have figured that out, everything before you lays down a stepping stone pathway you can follow during your journey upon this earth. You will always be in a state of change, because that is the natural path we all take in life. Without change there would be no growth. For example chasing butterflies as a child is left behind when we become adults, but we pass that onto our children. The same is when we have grown into a state of being that we may be able to pass on what we have learned for future generations. This is where you are. The first stepping stone of your path. Take your time and explore inside who you are or who you want to be - and let nothing nor no one persuade you otherwise.
For me the last 22 years of my life has been a long journey of self discovery, and it doesn't end. I learn intuitively and follow what I feel right in my heart. Spirit matters. Not what this book said or how this person does their daily thing, but how you feel this is how you should walk, talk, feel, think, write, and so forth. And I am still growing into knowledge.
There are many races of elves, whether by stories or myths, which exist - just as faeries have many races. For me the two are separate yet of the same magick. Many have come to the realization that, in general, they have never left. Some even hypothesized that they had relationships with humans before "disappearing". The ancient Irish books lean towards the idea, some say, that if we trace back our heritage and if we have at least 5 generations of people who have Irish ancestry that we may have Fae/Elven blood in our veins.
As far as language is concerned, J.R.R. Tolkien, those who have stated that they are Tolkienists who follow the Similarion like their "bible" and history of elves, believe that Tolkien had been channeling energies from Elves past as he wrote his languages, the book "The Hobbit", and other books. For those who follow a Tolkien-like path find that the languages he created feel right for them and feel they have had flashes or memories of floods and such, describing the fall of Atlantis. For them the history, mythology, language, and pantheon has been laid out before them in a way they find acceptable.
There are others however take a different path of Elf-ness, if you will. Alot that has to do with this movement is the path of Self Actualization, the process of accepting yourself regardless of outside influences. This applies to those who walk non-linear paths in life - from Elves and Faeries to Werewolves, Vampires, Dragons, and so forth. Some outside of this circle looking in view these people as "wanna=bes", claiming they are Role-players or Live Action Role Players, or even people who are delusional and wish to escape reality. And in truth, who wouldn't want to? We are facing a bad economy, people are starving, are homeless, there is universal unrest and destruction. But bear in mind those who find peace in accepting whom they are lead a more productive life and are happy with the self-love they have achieved. For those who wish to follow "their own nose" they choose to listen to the heart, to Spirit, or to intuition of words and such to create a language.
Learning any new language is difficult, but I think if we attempt to learn in the same way that children learn from ages 1 to 5 it would make the task a bit easier. I'd like to see something for Elves a common spoken language (much like English today which in Dungeon and Dragons games call it, Common Elvish) to be created into a Rosetta Stone like DVD where anyone can learn it if they wish to.
They dont give you enough characters to write here in the comment block, do they? ^-^
I am originally from New York, and have been on my pagan path since 1990. In 2007 I had a dream and a deep driving force to accomplish a few things (of which with my White Wolf/Sagittarius nature of loving fun more than work have been doing more gathering of information and playing around more than writing and getting things "on the ball" because me and schedules do no mix =P ), one of which is the Moon Elven dictionary, the other to write my own book on my elven path. I'm just having a hard time with getting alot organized and written and expressing myself on paper/on notepad, wanting to "do it right the first time around". I got myself to a point where I felt like I've been banging my head against the wall and going no where fast. Things for me are changing again and so now with the changes I am finding new energies ping-ponging around and I am hoping with the New Moon that just passed I will get on the ball and start working once again after I move to Georgia. I hope though what I have posted here will help you ^-^.
Merry Yule to you also. Ive spent the last few days moving, and going through huge obstacles getting my stuff here from Nevada. The moving company is trying to rip me off so now I am trying to recover my belongings. But like many say - the Goddess never gives you a problem you can not handle. Lets hope I get a happy ending to this problem. Will have internet as soon as I can get it. Take care for now. May the Goddess bless you many times over this full moon Yuletide.
We have great winds clearing the energies of the land up here on Vancouver Island right now~ what a wonderful feeling to see nature dancing so! I love your idea about sharing the Eleven Portal that we co-created with others interested. I'll check in with my inner guidance and the Elves of course and see what they have to say on the subject and get back to you. Also I want to download some of the the photos once I get that little wire to connect camera to computer. Sidhewillow, you're right its good to find others whose hearts are drawn to this work. Sometimes I feel very alone in the human world on this journey. Even some of my close "new age" friends have no comment on my Elven path; I find that odd... but how could I not continue? There's so much more to this world than meets the eye and the eye is starting to see what the heart feels as Mother Earth releases her full vibration. So cool you're into Flower Essences to~ such a real way to connect and co-create with the Devas and Nature Sprits!
I had wanted to thank YOU for your find comments on my photos. I do love this new passion I have found. My computer has been down the last number of days so I'm still trying to catch up on my online communications. And it's been a while since I have really explored Elvenworld and that's definitely on my to-do list!
Yes, I agree it will be fun to connect here with you. I just read your profile and interestingly enough just watched a movie that seems to me it might interest you......The Spice Mistress. About an Indian psychically gifted woman who's destiny is to let the spices talk to her.......everyone has a particular spice that is for them...or what they need. It was actually a pretty good movie.
I'm also enjoying the Paulo Coehlo books.....very spiritual and again.....those Gifts.
I just went back and read your question and I did work with Ted Coombs to open a stargate here on my property. I did it on the 4th at 4:44 PM. I had 467 Elvin masters come through in thatr 24 hrs. It was awesome. I even had someone from another dimention actuallt turn my peace sigh on my arbor around and upside down that same night. An upside down peace sign is a symbol for the tree of life.It was an amazing thing . Let me know when you are going to do it . I would like to be a part of it also.My Fairy queen was there to help also. Noni is queen of a tribe of 27 that live here with me and my pigs... I had only one Elf stay here with us and his name is Anikin..
