Are elves a type of fairy and do they really exist?

Question

I have heard stories of people who have claimed to see elves or fairies. I also read stories that say elves are kin to goblins, fairies and leprechauns.

Answer 1

Everything is really alive and conscious
what we call fairies and elves are manifestations of this consciousness. There are many planes of existence and many beings visible and invisible . For the most part these beings are composed of energy and take a form as a convenience to humans Some of the forms they manifest in are what we call Elves and Fairies while some of these are imaginary or a thought forms created by people others are real entities . these include Nature and elemental Deva, spirits of flowers and crystals , Angelic type beings and what we might call demigods and muses who have work to do that involves nature and spiritual issues. Others have their own missions most of which are incomprehensible. While some people think fairies and elves are the same the Elves and Fairies consider themselves to be different .

Answer 2

The Nature of the Elves

The first Elves awoke by Cuiviénen, the Water of Awakening in the far east of Middle-earth, long Ages before the Rising of the Sun or Moon. Unlike Men, the Elves were not subject to illness or death, and at the time of the Lord of the Rings, there were still at least two Elves in Aman who had awoken by Cuiviénen in the first days; Ingwë, Lord of the Vanyar, and Olwë, brother of King Elu Thingol.



Both Elves and Men are the Children of Ilúvatar, and so have much in common, but there are also great differences between the two peoples. Of these, the most significant is that Elves are 'immortal', at least while the World lasts; they do not suffer ageing1 or disease, and if they are slain or wither with grief, they are reincarnated in the Halls of Mandos in Valinor.
Although, unlike Men, the Elves must remain in the world until its ending, they are not bound to Middle-earth. They may if they wish take the straight road, and sail into the Uttermost West, a road that is barred to mortals.

Elves also have far clearer sight and perception than Men; they are naturally aware of many things that are hidden from the Younger Children, but these gifts are not without limit.

Dont listen to the people on here. Elves are as real as you and i. I have seen so many fairies, elves, goblins, you name it. There are ways to help to see the fairies, elves, etc... You can get a four leave clover and smash it in a morter and pestal in the oil called Saffola Oil. Then dabb some on your eyelids and your third eye. The best times to see the fairies and the other creatures is on Midsummer, Beltane, Lammas, and Yule. There are times of the days that are called tween times. These times are sunrise, mid-day (12:00), sunset, and midnight. There are also places called, tween places, like under the bed, windows, door ways, under bridges, and other places that are between realms; water, trees, meadows, coves, and the ocean. If you want a ritual to bring the fairies just email me!!

Answer 4

Elves are cousins to goblins, fairies etc. Elves are actually very tall, and have pointy ears and live in the forests, usually in the tree tops. They are fantastic warriors, and have nobility.

A book that describes elves well is The Magician. It is also a great read

Answer 5

I think elves are only a fairy tales and do not exist in reality.In this world I see a little crippled men/women or dwarfs as an abnormality created by our God.They are not elves.

Answer 6

I am not a Fairey Believer to so speak (while I am not going to say they don't) but ask any member of The MacLeod Clan. Much of their legends are steeped in fairey lore. The Fairey Flag is a large piece of cloth many Macleods have taken pieces of into battle to guarantee victory. and one of my fave pipe tunes Cha Till MacCruimen (MacCrimmon shall never return) is written about about a boy who recieved a silver chanter from a fairey. To this day, the world solo piping championships are callled the Silver Chanter Contest.

Answer 7

I think they are fairies. As to whether they exist, I'm sure some people may have seen something, so they may exist in their minds. The kicker, of course, is that so does everything else.
