One often yearns for Faerie before one even realizes what one is yearning for. People call Faerie by many names, such as Paradise and Eden and the Idyllic Lands and heaven and other terms. Of course, Faerie is the Universe in a way and Faerie is also Nature and it contains both Paradise, which we'd call Elfin, and hellish realms as well. It is the Wildlands of Faerie, as well. It is everything together in one amazing dream. It is pure potential given expression by our beings. Which is to say it is what we do with the Divine Magic and how we shape it with our actions/magic.

We could also say, everyone sees Faerie, but not everyone recognizes Faerie. It is there, all around us, but few actually realize what they are seeing. And some folks, perhaps most folks in the modern world, have lost their sense of wonder. Their eyes have become dimmed and they are too exhausted by reality to comprehend the possibilities. Dark spells cloud their vision. And yet, Faerie is still there.
From an elvish point of view, when people talk about dying and going to heaven, they really are talking about dying and going to Faerie. Although, from their descriptions of heaven, we sometimes think they are really expecting to go to the tyrannical realms that they'd call hell but we'd refer to as the cold and crueler realms of Faerie. There are parts of Faerie that are like the Wild West. Anything can happen there and you have to be ever ready to defend yours'elf. For the most part, we elves prefer to abide in our own realms of Faerie, which we call Elfin, and in the more civilized regions of Faerie, as much as possible. Yet, Faerie is one and all is connected. It's just the way it is.
In a certain way, the world of the normal folk and of men is also a part of Faerie. It is just what we Silver Elves call 'Faerie Unseen'. Faerie is there but those in Faerie Unseen just don't see it, don't recognize it, don't even acknowledge its existence and thus, for the most part, are not privy to its wonders and benefits, while still seeming to enjoy and actively participate in its darker aspects and regions. We each choose the part of Faerie we abide in for we create it with our own actions and behaviors. Faerie is what we make of it. It arises from our own vibrations and yet exists as pure potentiality all on its own.
Some may think that they are escaping Faerie, but one cannot escape from oneself. Although, many people lie to themselves about themselves, so perhaps that's more or less the same thing. They deny Faerie and are cursed by their own actions to live in the normal world or Faerie Unseen. Faerie, however, doesn't require our belief. It exists whether someone believes in it or not and it doesn't punish those who don't believe, although they often punish themselves without actually realizing they are doing so.
Faerie is like a large treasure chest filled with enchanted items. However, if you don't know or don't believe that treasure chest exists, you are unlikely to find it or open it. Those of us who have opened it are blest by its wonders. Still, it all depends upon what you do with the magical items you find. What are you creating with your magic? What part of Faerie would you like to live in? Only by creating it in our own lives can we make it real for us. And in doing that, surely, we will see Faerie, or at least see the part where we abide. There is always more of Faerie elsewhere. In fact, Faerie is elsewhere, but also right here, right now and always has been and ever will be.
Kyela,

"Faerie is like a mirror, it reflects the nature of our spirit back to us so we may see ours'elves in a new light and stand amazed to be so different and yet still the same." —The Silver Elves
Faerie Unfolding: The Cosmic Expression of the Divine Magic is an advanced book of elven philosophy concerning we Silver Elves’ views on the nature of the Divine and its expression and manifestation into the world as seen from those cultures that are most connected to and historically expressive of Elven Culture. It is a further development from our other books, Through the Mists of Faerie, The Elven Way, and Liber Aelphand opens the adept elfin enchanter to new understandings of the Unfolding of Faerie and its magic into the world and our part, as elfin beings, in its expression. We Silver Elves illuminate this with a new way of understanding traditional lore and mythology, as well as modern stories of our faerie peoples.

It is like beautiful and enchanting large multi-story house that is inhabited by a number of elfae groups: (bottom floor has three private groups inside: The Elven Way and also Feasting with the Elves with a big kitchen and dining area for chatting, along with the Elven Home group); (second floor has the Faerie Craft group with a large display studio for elfae art); and (in the attic is the Elves, Fae, Brownies, Gnomes,etc group meets for otherkin sharing). There are also lots of large enclosed or screened in porches off the main house (where you will find: Magical Books of the Silver Elves, Elfin Faerie Lore, Elven Life and Magic, and We Adore Elves); there are also two gazebos, one is outside in the front lawn for Elvish Magical Chat and the other is in the back yard for I Heart Elven Magic; an open circle outside around the bonfire to the side of the house for the Elf Witches of the Mystic Moon group; a quaint tree house out front for Elfae Tree Folk to meet; a faerie circle that is a bit beyond the back of the house in the forest for The Faerie Circle group to meet; and at the front gate is a cozy elfae cottage for those first entering to be greeting in the group Silver Elves Embassy. There is also a path from the house that wanders down to the creek and goes through where the group Nature and the Unseen Realms with the Elves and Otherkin meet and also that leads to meeting places for United Otherkin Alliance and its private sister group.
