rialian recently and told him they wanted to send him a gift. That was really sweet. I hadn't been following their stuff for about as long as I haven't been reading the lists, but rialian is still on their listserve. I hadn't realized it, but he'd been receiving their "Magical Elven Love Letters" to this day! He was happily surprised when they said they wanted to send him something - who knew that they would ever do that. They eventually sent three books: a collection of the Magical Elven Love Letters from 1979 through 2001; Elven Runes; Elven Book of Spirits. We had expected some stuffy theosophical BS, but in fact they aren't like that at all.
While he was reading one of the books, Rialian quoted a couple of lines that typify their tone:
"When we Elfin walk in the foodstores of man, we find aisles of bloody and cut up carcasses of animals wrapped in celophane. And men think that we are strange."
"Beware of people who are always sure of themselves... They're probably crazy".
"If you ask the fae what our favorite architectural buildings of man are, we most often answer, "Ancient Ruins".
"We Elfin do not believe that we are better than other people, we simply believe there are some folks who could do quite a bit more to their full potential."
I tend to agree. I'm glad they like us. Maybe some day we'll even meet them. Some day.
