by The Silver Elves (Author)
This is a short course in using Arvyndase, which means SilverSpeech, a 33,000+ word language created by the Silver Elves. It uses a process of word substitution to gradually introduce the student to the use of the language while it speaks about the language itself, its creation, and the philosophy of the Elves. It is a language primarily created to be used in magic spells, rituals, and incantations. This book also includes a chapter of spells in Arvyndase, three scripts for use with the language, and a small dictionary of words used in the book for easy reference.
Author Biography
The Silver Elves are a family of elves who have been living and sharing the Elven Way since 1975. We are the authors of "The Book of Elven Runes: A Passage Into Faerie"; "The Magical Elven Love Letters, volume I"; "The Magical Elven Love Letters, volume 2"; "The Magical Elven Love Letters, volume 3"; "An Elfin Book of Spirits: Evoking the Beneficent Powers of Faerie"; "Caressed by an Elfin Breeze: The Poems of Zardoa Silverstar"; "Eldafaryn: True Tales of Magic from the Lives of the Silver Elves"; and "The Elven Book of Dreams: a Magical Oracle of Faerie". We have had various articles published in Circle Network News Magazine and have given out over 6,000 elven names to interested individuals in the Arvyndase language, with each elf name having a unique meaning specifically for that person. If you wish to know more about us you can read pages 100 to 107 in "Circles, Groves and Sanctuaries", compiled by Dan and Pualine Campanelli (Llewellyn Publications, 1992), which contains an article by us and photos us and our home/sanctuary as it existed at the time. You can also find an article about us in volume 4 number3, issue # 15 of Renaissance Magazine. We are also mentioned numerous times in "Not In Kansas Anymore" by Christine Wicker (Harper San Francisco, 2005), and "A Field Guide to Otherkin" by Lupa (Megalithica Books, 2007). The Elven Way is the spiritual Path of the Elves. It is not a religion. While all elves are free to pursue whatever spiritual path they desire, or not as the case may be, these elves are magicians and follow no particular religious dogma. We do however believe in all the Gods and Goddesses, (also Santa Claus [to whom we're related], the tooth fairy [distant cousins] and the Easter or Ostara Bunny [no relation].) and try to treat them all with due respect. The Elven Way promotes the principles of Fairness, that is to say both Justice, Elegance and Equal Opportunity and Courtesy that is respectful in its interactions and attitude toward all beings. We understand the world as a magical or miraculous phenomena, and that all beings, by pursuing their own true path, will become whomever they truly desire to be. Our path is that of Love and Magic and we share our way with all sincerely interested.
