Elven World Healing Arts Community

Nature Inspired Spiritual Arts

Samhain means "summer’s end” in Gaelic and is the beginning of the Celtic New Year. The celebration began with the lighting of ritual bonfires atop Tara. One can see all of Ireland from atop the Hill of Tara.
Seeing the opening fires at Tara, people lit fires were lit atop every hill in the land.

So began the tradition of lighting bonfires for Samhain festival thousands of years ago. The tradition of bonfires atop the hills of Ireland is still celebrated to this day.

Although we are not lighting fires in our respective hills, we are lighting the fire of our passion, gaining strength, wisdom and sense of community that will be our security in the long months ahead.

It is also a time to honor those who have come before us and to open ourselves to their wisdom, teaching and guidance that is passed to us at a spiritual level. A collection of this wisdom and culture is expressed in the photos, videos and blogs of our members.

Please tell us how you are celebrating Samhain! Please share with us your thoughts, your costumes and your inspiration!

I've been thinking of Finn McCool and how he stopped the 23 year burning of Tara by defeating the dark fairy Allen... I met a young man from the town near Tara and Newgrange and he said, "Tell the world about the the great warriors, the Finnias (the people of Fin) who could run through the forests with out making a sound" He said this three times in our conversation. I later learned that it was said that Fionn was a scribe in one of the last four Atlantian temples (the Temple of Falias that stood on the Island of Tenerife according to Sykes) and that Finn brought the stone (The Throne of Tara) from that temple to the hill of Tara. I can't help but feel there's a connection to the Elves here somewhere.... Fionn, Finn, Falias, Finnias....

Multi Dimensional Reality

The world as you know it - all that you see, taste, feel and touch, comprises only about 5% of all of the stuff of the universe. The other 95% is what we have considered "nothing" or the "firmament"  or dark matter or the heavens or mystic Other Worlds. This 95% is multi-dimensional and consists of potential realities that may be perceived.

A single thought...a mere whisper, ...... barely upon a breeze that catches a spark... all is tinder before the firestorm... and yet.
ONLY that whisper
ONLY that thought
 the world is forever changed beyond the fears and dreams of cardboard men.
Freedom and change starts within:
It is encouraged by truth and courage of people who love
Built by the respect of true beings standing as one before each other.
Lets us cross every man made borders
without fear stare into eyes and hearts of all our brothers and sisters: within our words without shouting,or force to hold each to our truths; and let us without fear freely share what works...

Order and Disorder. A Never-Ending Dance of Creation!

  Order and Disorder. A Never-Ending Dance of Creation! Life is movement, an oscillation between order and disorder, light and shadow, the arising and the ceasing. In the natural course of things, order, as it moves towards disorder would move you away from oneness towards division. As conscious beings you could use the power of the blessing of oneness to cause this flow to move back from division into oneness. In the human body, whenever there is an information disconnect between the…See More
