For today's post I am going to continue my Journey of the Elves~ And for today we are going
to into the Norse paganism of the Light Elves which I've have discovered were very beautiful and were considered to be 'Guardian Angels' if you will. When I first went on my journey of research of the Light Elves, it was a bit difficult to find any info about these beautiful Elves that were quote called 'Gaurdian Angels'. But then again I don't give-up easy, and I did find a little info for all of you after a day of searching... In my quest of finding information on these beautiful Light Elves one thing was certain of all the place that they have Norse Paganism background and the Old Norse Mythology within their history too. This seems to be the case for their cousin kin the Dark Elves too. I found that the Light elves were said to be like minor gods of all the other Elfin kins - they were of nature and fertility and could help or hinder the humans at the time before time with their great knowledge and strong magick powers too. These Light Elves were often inspirited by their own magical music and instruments. And of their Arts too. It was said that the two different Elves in the very beginning were the Dark Elves and the Light Elves. The Dark Elves were the most swarthy so they would live on the earth and the Light Elves were the most Godly so they would dwell in the heavens as gods. and were fairer than the sun. Now I have done many different races of the Elves and of all the different races of the the Elves you must remember these tales were written centuries ago. So the tales have been told over and over again so at some point the tales have been changed at some point I am sure of it. Over the almost 2years that I have been blogging about the Elves, Dragons, Faeries, Nymphs,

Greek Gods/Goddess and much more I have seem different versions of the tales and this one to them. When I did the Dark Elves they had their version too of the race. So with that said ...
Of all the Elves the Light Elves in my opinion are quite rare and if they are still here in the 21th century they are well hidden. What I do know is this, they are quite beautiful with their very light skin almost glowing,however there is always the exception. These Elves are quite tall and have very long hair. It is said that they come from an realm that is just below the heavens and above the earth. Besides the very light glowing skin, they also have a Scandinavian look with their blonde hair and blue eyes[ There is the exception to the rule.. Some of the light Elves have the brown hair and light brown eyes, but their skins is still the light as they origins realm they all came from]. These Elves are generally slim, with sharp, delicate features and pointed ears. Their home is quite magnificent palace, which no of their landspirits. Which would make since to why they were called the light elves being godly. This is also the Norwegians beliefs as well. And They look much like the Scandinvian Elves as well. As I had said in the beginning of this post, the light elves are a rare race and

other kin has seen. I also discovered that the Norse Folklore & Scandinavian people have a strong belief that the Light Elves actually came from an Realm between heaven and Earth called
very spiritual kin of all the Efin races.. I hope you Enjoyed this Group of Light Elves. Your Wendy

Light Elves
Elves are creatures of the light, and as such, ethereal beings
that for the most part are good creatures. Being immortal, elves have a
completely different worldview than humans. Everything is seen with the
long view and they might well put off performing a task for a hundred or
even a thousand years if it’s inconvenient at the moment.
Fancifully, elves are said to dine on honey and dew, although
realistically they eat the same foods as humans. Many forest elves are
vegetarians, as living so harmoniously with wild animals makes them less
eager to be predators.
The bulk of the elves live in Alfheim, ruled over by the God Frey,
brother of Freya. Of course, the Lady Freya is always welcome in
Alfheim, and is a particular favorite amongst the elves. Naturally, some
elves have chosen to live in the other realms, even Midgard with
humans. However, the vast majority of elves are found in Alfheim.
There are a wide variety of elves. So-called “high elves” often stand
6 feet tall and are slender and elegant. They live in beautifully
wrought cities and are both cultured and refined. Outsiders consider
them cold and arrogant, but that may be due to their almost supernatural
calm. These elves are incredibly beautiful, and almost entirely
magical. They can perform extraordinary feats with their spells, but
rarely interact with outsiders and so most of what is known of them is
rumor.
Sylvans or “wood elves” live in forests. You won’t see one unless the
elf wishes to be seen because they have the ability to blend into their
surroundings so well that they are virtually invisible. Smaller than
their cousins, these elves often dress in garments made from wood bark
or leaves, and wear intricate patterns of living flowers. Sylvans can
speak directly to animals and understand them, and some are said to be
able to communicate with plants as well. Of all the elves, they are the
most attuned with nature, and most of their magic is directed to the
natural world.
Sprites, pixies, and will-o’-the-wisp’s are all variants of elves.
These smaller beings can occasionally be glimpsed, but rarely are they
seen up close. Still, their small magics can be quite powerful although
they spend much of their time frolicking and playing rather than
engaging in the more serious pursuits of the high elves.
In all their forms, elves are beautiful. In fact, many a mortal has
fallen in love with an elf, although such unions rarely succeed because
of the difference in lifespans. Still, elves are incredibly lovely and
desirable.
On certain nights, especially under full moons, elves can be found
dancing in the woods. Joining such a “fairy ring” is tempting almost
beyond the power of a person to resist, but there are some dangers
involved. It is said that dancing in a fairy ring can cause one to go
mad, to age prematurely, to be pulled out of time, or to be stolen away
by the elves. The music is virtually irresistible, and the beautiful
beings are a remarkable lure. The Goddess Freya has been known to join
in the dance, and the elves particularly celebrate her presence.
Despite or perhaps because of their incredibly long lifespans, elves
reproduce rarely. Because of this, elven maidens will occasionally steal
away human children to raise as their own. While the children are well
treated, many stories are told of mothers risking much to retrieve their
infants from the elves.
