The Genesis of Elven-Ffayrie

Text Version:
The race of Elven-Ffayrie is of such antiquity that it is perhaps the oldest blood still in existence today. While many readers are sure to be shocked by the idea of an Elven-Ffayrie bloodline, the details not only compliment the believed archaeological past of Human development, but also satisfy many unanswered questions about the Universe in general that have remained unresolved until recent times. It is as if, perhaps, the culture of Humans has lost something in its development. Humans seem to have lost a feeling or memory that at one time was “second nature” or innate, linking their blood to the Earth Ways. Or, perhaps Humans have not simply forgotten, but instead have chosen, albeit subconsciously conditioned to choose by society, to ignore this inner calling. Yet for those who gather now to answer this call, the forgotten history of Men and Elves stands open to you now.
The Elves themselves do not record history as we do. Much like the beliefs of the Druids (Drwyds) to follow them, there was an innate or cultural taboo to not put to writing that which was most sacred. The belief followed that if one was no longer responsible to commit things to memory, the genetic memory that was held so important to a people of an ‘oral tradition’ might become tainted or recessive. We can see even today that the emphasis on memorization has given way to an ideal that resources will always be there to reference at the click of a button, meanwhile the spiritual and emotional intelligence of the herd is on the decline. But this can be changed. Studying the ‘Bright Things’ of the Elven Tradition is certainly one possible avenue to illuminating this lingering ignorance.
The Elven-Ffayrie folk that exist as part of the Great Western Magickal Tradition are typically either of the Sidhe (High Elves) or the Sylvan (Wood Elves) variety. These beings acknowledge that they are the ‘First Born’ of Europe (spelled “Aeurope” in the Elven Tradition,) mainly descending from the “Garden of Eden” in Mesopotamia. This is, however, a somewhat misleading statement, because while they are indeed a part of the true (original) “genetic experiment” in Eden (explanation forthcoming,) they too, in all their antiquity are not the ‘first generation.’ They are actually the ninth race to be born on the ‘Gaea/Earth Planet,’ a place (and entity) known by many names and an unfathomably old history.
One of the most recognizable names for this planet is ‘Middle Earth.’ Thanks to the research and borrowing of J.R.R. Tolkein, ‘Middle Earth,’ has become a household name. In Tolkein’s version, the Elves are the firstborn of Middle Earth too, and he translates their name as a link to their genetic ancestry to mean, “The Children of Eru,” whom the Celts called “The Children of D’Anu.” The name “Eru” is an Elvish word correlating with “Anu” in the English tongue. It is derived from the ‘Quenya Language’ (c. 5000 BC) and means ‘Source of All Being and Creation,’ the original and more appropriate title for “God.” Jewish mystics of the Kabbalah even today believe that it is unlucky, or more correctly, “blasphemous” to say or even write the name “God,” often spelling it “G-d” in their modern printed works.
The Elves have a history that is older than any Human recordings and yet we must still accept that they are of the ‘ninth generation.’ Their personal history and genetic memory, although vast, does not present some obscure vision, story of Creation, or any absolute “Genesis” within. “We have always been,” they claim, and this may seem frustrating at times for a seeker who is looking for definitive origins. By logic, if the oldest racial bloodline still in existence today is of the ‘ninth generation’ than something happened prior, perhaps something shielded even from Faerie-sight. For this we must ask the Creators, the Master Scientists and Divine Engineers who are ‘higher’ still than the inter-dimensional fey specific to the topic of this book. This I can guide you through by summing up the correlating aspects that the Ascended Masters and Planners have set down on this matter in the Sylva D’ Terrestai (or the Human copy known as the Urantia Book.)
The ‘first generation’ of Gaea is nameless. We know that it consisted of two people, twins, brought or sent here to be sure that Middle Earth was inhabitable in its physical form. Their lifespan was purposely short-lived, reaching full maturity with the passing of only 12 solar years. They were of such a nature that they were innately aware of the need to live for and with each other. Though the sexual gender is not mentioned, an aspect often obscure in matters of Elven-Ffayrie, “aliens” or any other inter-dimensional beings, we can be sure that they had the ability to reproduce. Thus, the planet was officially inhabited. The vegetation and animals were here already, active and operating on their own ‘genetic programs.’
At Eleven (Elven) years old, the ‘Twins’ as they are referred to, parented the firstborn of the ‘second generation,’ but truly it was the first Earthborn generation. In the act of love resulting in this conception (lust was not a part of the psyche yet) the genetic material really bloomed. With the birth of Andon and Fonta, it was clear that the abilities and genetic potential had actually increased as a result of the loving union of the “Twins.” Yes, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts alone, and for whatever reason this evolution did happen and has never happened again. The cup being as full as possible with Andon and Fonta, could now only be emptied. For this reason there was a stress or pressure to maintain or preserve the purity and integrity of the Elven genetics and bloodline as time bore on.
Genetics and race has most often been expressed in the terms of the color of skin pigment or “melanin.” The complexion type is not truly a genetic indicator by itself as there are other cues like eye color, hair color (and type) as well as skeletal structure, all of which can be used anthropologically to distinguish race. The descendents of Andon and Fonta possessed the true or original melanin of the people of Earth. The Andonites resembled closely to what we consider Inuit Indians or “Eskimos,” who are of Elvish decent as well and have also preserved a distinct genetics throughout history. The original people of Earth were “arboreal,” meaning that they lived in the forest and used the trees for safety and scouting. The Andonites inhabited much of Aeurope and were forced into an existence focused on surviving the end of the last Ice Age.
Following the dispersion of the Andonites across Europe, further generations and tribes began to emerge seemingly independent of one another. They continued first with the “Foxhall Clan,” also known as the “Heidelberg Race,” who not only maintained some of their original Andonite genetics, but had also been privileged at the instruction of Onagar, the first ‘Wise One.’ The Clan was interested in the development and evolution of a learned culture in addition to mere survival. With the ending of the Ice Age, folk were able to focus more on the culture and less on the necessity of fighting for life. But people adapt, and the modern day Hyperborean Inuit Indians and Scandinavians seemed to have mastered arctic living. With the focus shifting from keeping alive (or preservation) into expansion, more primitive and combative generations (races and factions) emerged. These were not descendents from the Elven experiment (like Badonan and Neanderthal) and did not survive.
For those races that did survive, the genetic Melanin separated them by color. Each of the cousin races moved farther and farther away from Mesopotamia but remained connected. The ‘red folk’ became the Native American aboriginal shamans. The ‘orange folk’ went to Africa for a while but were later overrun by the ‘green folk.’ The ‘yellow folk’ left Eurasia for East Asia. The ‘green folk’ and the ‘indigo folk’ remained around North Africa and that part of the Mesopotamian homelands, which left the ‘blue folk’ (or ‘light folk’) who represent the clearest strain back to the Source and would later be known as the ‘fair folk’ or ‘faerie.’
Following the dispersion of the races, the Fair Folk remained in Mesopotamia emerging as the people known as “Anunaki” and “Scythians” of the Sumerians who later selectively reproduced with the Egyptian Pharaohs and the Phoenician dynastic pure bloods of the ‘green folk.’ All those descended from Andon and Fonta felt a need to maintain some degree of ‘dynastic genetics’ or ‘blood of kings’ (racial integrity,) Here, the histories of Men and Elves really support one another because modern folk should already be equated with the concept of the ‘royal bloodline,’ specifically among the Egyptian Pharaohs and the traditional monarchies throughout Aeurope.
In your reading and study thus far, a perceptive reader might well feel they’ve missed something. The question is usually posed as follows: Were there not many races of varying color all sprouted from a single race, and if so would they not all be of the same genetics? Would we not all be of Sidhe blood since all Elves and Humans would have thus come from the same origins? No. The Creators, you see, were not satisfied with much of the genetic material produced throughout the world at that time and set forth to create an experimental “perfect race within a controlled and perfect world.” Here we find the origin of the true Annunaki/Ubaid of Mesopotamia. This lore has been misunderstood in the past and was used as a reason for misguided prejudice between races and genocide (e.g. World War II.) So where did this Aryan-Dravidian race emerge separate from the rest? If you found it hard to adjust to the idea that the present author of this text is an Elf, then you will again fall off your seat at hearing this: Adam of Eden was an Elf. Not only is it proclaimed by the Elves, but also, the incorporation of this new paradigm actually allows the contemporary knowledge of Eden to make more sense.
Consider the following literal-logic paradox presented to me by my colleague: if Adam and Eve had Cain and Abel, and Cain killed Abel, are we not all simply descendents of Cain alone, and the “evil” brother at that? This is actually a sound concern, and in the traditional bedtime story version of the Holy Bible, we might believe this. In order to understand the truth of the Elven genesis, however, we will actually be demystifying the above question and the true nature of Eden. For this we turn to the original source of the story, the ancient Hebrew Kabbalistic Tradition which Wizards (the true ones at least) all revere. For in truth, the genesis story of the Holy Bible is not necessarily “Christian,” it is “Hebrew” or that is to say “Jewish,” the very tradition that Christ was initiated into. One might note that the Hebrew Jews equally share a sense of genetic integrity concerning their mating customs. These practices are not maintained to enforce “racial prejudice” or “bigotry,” and have nothing to do with living and trade. They only concern ideals of ‘genetic separatism’ that is considered “politically incorrect” by modern society. How is not wanting to wash down your genetic ancestry a sign of racism or not being a ‘team player?’ People with half a dozen or more heritages will only produce more of the same, resulting in a disappearance of any pure gene pools in the name of “cultural diversity.” Ethnicity and heritage does not seem to be considered very significant in modern society, except maybe in a case like tracing one’s Elvish descent.
To answer the riddle, Adam had more offspring that just Cain and Abel. He also had one wife before Eve named Lilith, but this information is only found in the Judeo-Hebrew lore and is not generally accepted by the Church. While it may pose a contradiction to the viewpoint the Christian and Catholic sects are currently grounded on, the Hebrew would be most inclined to have it right because…it’s their story. Moses, the second ‘Wise Man’ was teacher of the Hebrew people and responsible for leading them. He did this through “cultural religion,” as a means to motivate them and began the story with Adam and Eve in order to give them an idea of where they came from. Humans have come to believe that the story began there finitely, while it was merely the beginning of a story. Reading the texts carefully, a clever Seeker will find in about 15 minutes that after Cain kills Abel, he leaves for the land of Nod and becomes leader of the Nodites after marrying a cousin who is not related to either Adam or Eve by blood. Although not in contradiction with major events, the logic follows that Cain was not the son of Adam and the Nodites did not originate in the Garden of Eden or even from later offspring. So while the story does not tell the origin of humanoid beings it is thought to, the Holy Bible actually offered the genesis for the ‘ninth generation Elven-Faerie.’
Possessing a purer genetic material than the rest of the folk mentioned in the Old Testament, Adam lived the longest lifespan recorded, and this began the idea that Elves live a really long time. Lifespans grew increasingly shorter as the generations continued. The purest strains of genetics from the ‘Blue-White’ race were found in Adam and Eve and thus they were selected for the experiment. Their bond was a magickal connection as they were joined within the Elven Tradition that holds sexuality as most sacred. Outside the walls of Eden where things are not so sacred, the people were beginning to get jealous about the “supremacy” that was taking place within. Eve, in her naïveté, shared herself with a man from the “other races” because he had explained to her that it would “help to spread the goodness and power” to the chaotic primitives beyond. She had already been warned of this, not to mix the polarities of “good” and “bad.”
The very moment Ffayrie mixed with Human, both Adam and Eve became mortal (prior they knew not death or suffering) because the tainting of Eve’s energy affected Adam when he shared himself with her thereafter. This resulted in a loss of grace for Adam and Eve as well as a the birth of a new generation of Eve’s offspring that were “quarter-breeds.” In regards to sexual morality, the Elven Philosophy speaks of the dangers concerning “idle sex,” meaning derogatory or out of perversion and lust (things that the modern world of Men has come to thrive on.)
Cain was not the son of Adam. Cano, the ‘Serpent in the Garden’ was responsible for the Degradation of Eden and thus the jealousy between half-brothers (as Adam would clearly have had favoritism towards his own blood son.) After being tainted with the energy of lust, Eve laid with Adam and they shared the “apple” and realized that now they were both impure and tainted for the rest of their days. Cain went on to the Nodites and quarter-breeds and Eves other children carried on the pure blood of Adam.
In analyzing this lore we find the “apple” as a symbol of ‘sexual intercourse.’ Furthermore we learn of two distinct lineages or bloodlines, that of the purebred and the quarter-bred. My colleague also showed me in Genesis 3:15 of the Holy Bible that it explains how there will be discord between the offspring of Cano (the Serpent) and that of Eve’s purebreds. Then Cain kills Abel from the jealousy of Abel being so close to Adam and leaves them all to pursue his own life. He does not actually carry the Adamic blood with him that all Humans have thought themselves to have since the story spread.
Even in the Judeo-Christian lore we confirm the existence of two distinct races. There is a pure genetic bloodline mentioned in passing as the “Watchers” or “Nephilim,” including the “Adamic Elves” and the “Sons of God” or “Children of God” as opposed to the “Children of Men” (the terms “sons” and “children” are used interchangeably.) These ideas are mentioned, again, only in passing in the Christian traditions and then dismissed. To the Elves, this “God” was “Eru” or “Anu.” The “Sons of Men” are descended from the diversity of color outside the Garden of Eden, as well as the Nodites, and are considered separate from the “Sons of God” even in the Holy Bible. In the Elvish Tradition, the “Sons of Man” become the “Sons of Mil” or that is to say the “Milesians.” The Milesians would be the reason the Elven-Ffayrie would later be driven to the forests and hills. So, in the end, I guess 3:15 was right. Men and Elves don’t seem to get along well.
The Age of Faerie in Eurasia
YouTube Version: Part One, Part Two, Part Three
Text Version:
Years after the corruption of Eden, the ‘Great Flood’ occurred. Though it did not cover the whole Earth, we know that the flood at the very least affected the Black Sea region (c. 4000 BC.) It is very possible even that this is where the Atlantis mythos began as well. For years I have disbelieved such a theory in favor of a civilization lost in the Atlantic (which there still might be!) and yet the ‘Ogdoad flood myth’ at the heart of the races that emerged from this region who were aware of this catastrophe and left to find safer havens. Five hundred years later, a new culture of ‘old blood’ emerged after the receding tides and rose to power as the Ubaid, the priest and king race of the Sumerians (analogous with the Drwyd race that led the Celts) which are known to us better as the Anunaki (also spelled “Anunnaki”)
Moving into this territory or aeon of the Elven Histories, the seeker can benefit from referencing the Chaldean, Sumerian and Babylonian historical tablets that correlate with our story. This portion of the history is especially popular in its adapted “Cthonic” form that has been integrated into the Neconomicon-mythos. Simon’s infamous edition of the Necronomicon gives a detailed account of the Sumerian Genesis story that begins with the Anunaki. What should become apparent with this comparative study is that all of the varying stories of humanoid development are generally correct though they start and stop at varying points and relay only a particular viewpoint or regional outlook using culture-specific terminology and themes.
When we refer to the races and bloodlines of a culture we are often singling out smaller sects from larger populations. For example, while the Celtic culture was very Elven-Ffayrie oriented, only the Sidhe and original Drwyd Wizards were actually of the original bloodline themselves. We see the same situation again with the Scythian Fey among the greater Sumerian/Babylonian society (or even the Pharaohs of Egypt.) In fact it may be that the Sidhe took their name from the Scythian ancestry. The word is actually pronounced ‘sithian,’ and ‘sith’ in Gaelic is “sidth” (singular) and ‘”sidhe” (plural) pronounced ‘shee.’
When researching the validity of the Elven Histories, ‘linguistic analysis’ is a useful tool in making connections between cultures, following a particular aspect, or tracing an origin. This is especially helpful in interpreting the ideas and terminology of developing cultures, as well as the etymology of their very language. It should not come as a surprise that the words and concepts maintained by the Ancient Ones would manifest in the language and tradition of the very cultures they were affecting.
Another interesting synchronicity is the use of the ‘conical cap.’ Although the image has been all but thrust out of the “New Age” idea of witches and wizards, the conical Wizard’s hat was used by the priests of the Anunaki and in Egypt. One might even recall Merlyn being depicted with a conical hat, usually blue with silver stars and moons demonstrating its representation of the ‘Higher Self’ and the Universe. Elves, Ffayries, Gnomes and Dwarves alike have all been shown as having some kind of this ‘Phrygian Cap,’ usually standing upright or resembling a holiday Elf-hat or sleeping cap.
While contemporary society sees the ‘white man’ as being restricted to Europe, the Scythian Ubaid of the Mesopotamian Sumerians were indeed the ‘Fair Folk.’ At this stage of Elven-development, however, the Ffayrie race is described as dragon-like. They were indeed humanoid, but definitely not Human. In fact the Sumerian Tradition record the race of the Anunaki as that of “Dragons,” and it is from this imagery that we view the Elven-Ffayrie gene as the ‘Dragon Blood of Kings.’ Included in this story are the descendents of Lilith-Lilitu, which the Hebrew tradition recorded as the name of Adam’s first wife. Judeo-Christian lore records Lilith as ‘Mother of Elves.’
Returning to the paradigm of ‘linguistic analysis,’ it is easy to see how the “Anunaki” are the “Devas” and “Sidhe” when each of these three names are varying regional titles for the ‘Shinning Ones.’ And these ‘Shinning Ones’ in a variety of forms, emerge in the “New Age” mystical doctrine as the energies sought or connected with in ‘modern magick.’ Other lore indicates that the Anunaki were similar to the Greek ‘Fates,’ a word derived from the European ‘fata,’ yet another label for Ffayrie. In the Egyptian tradition we find the name “Au-En” or “Anu” translated as “Isis” to the Greeks. This popular name is actually based on the Greek point-of-view and language.
The marriage practices of the Ubaid were still aimed at the preservation of genetics. Today, the Elven-Ffayrie often carry a genetic memory that hints at sexual marriage unions considered taboo in most contemporary society, many of which considered “incestual.” They are, however, the same licenses used by the ancient Phoenician and Pharaonic dynasties. These included unions between parent and child (Phoenician) but more commonly between siblings (Pharaonic.) Such practices would be evident when maintaining a bloodline of a royal family. While there was actually more than one nuclear family involved in the lineage, the Church may have impressed the idea of mutation and other complications during the ‘Elven Holocaust’ of the Dark Ages much more than biological science did. Using the research of Nicholas de Vere and the discoveries of Cambridge University, one might learn that such practices could be maintained for some 300 years without any functionally disturbing problems.
The Ubaid and Sumerians developed a culture rich in tradition, education, art and agricultural achievement. A deeply spiritual and magickal tradition was also ignited, a means to preserve the ‘secrets of the ages,’ particularly since the Ubaid were, at the time, the purest strain back to the Source. If they had allowed themselves to be subdued by the Sons of Man, they would have been no more, this book would never have been written and Human civilization would have experienced a great loss for their efforts. The contribution of the Ubaid to this story is important because historians often like to start human civilization with ancient Sumeria. But like the many other stories integrated with the Elven Way, theirs is but a half-truth, offering only a part of the whole story.
As these people were able to expand their civilization and knowledge of their existence, they became known as the Scythian/Dravidian folk that spread to the Turkey region, India and Western Europe. In a region referred to in lore as the ‘Gangetic,’ the Aryans and Dravidians discovered one another and merged to form a race later called the Tuatha De ‘Dannan’ (D’Anu, or Anu.) This race, still considered the Andites (Children of Andon) moved their priesthood all along the Danube and Rhine Rivers, bringing their culture from the Mediterranean across mainland Europe to the British Isles. Along their travels they met the ‘blue folk’ who had continued to develop separately from the Eden project. These folk had developed the ‘La Tene’ culture that we now call Celtic. This culture was not restricted to the Isles, and completely dominated Aeurope until the persecution by the Milesians and Romans. The ‘Danubian Race’ inhabited Western Europe during the Stone Age and continued the tradition of the Ancient Ones in the erection of large stone monuments.
Archaeologists have had little to really study concerning the Ubaid period that extended from prehistory until the coming of the Uruk Sumerians (c. 3500 BC.) The Ubaid culture is mainly indicated or classified as such based on the excavated greenish pottery bearing a distinctive art style similar to that of the La Tene (Celtic) culture. Their race was mainly responsible for the religion of Mesopotamia and the construction of the first ziggurats, sacred places or structures of a pyramidal nature. This construction was taking place simultaneously with the Egyptian Pyramids and not long before the first stages of Stonehenge.
The religion of the Ubaid was rooted in the Anunaki Tradition. This tradition teaches a ‘secret star knowledge’ that is concerned with the absolute origins and interconnectedness of life in the Universe. This knowledge is similar to that of the Egyptian, Nubian and Dagon tribes of Africa. It is a knowledge that links the Elven-Ffayrie with the alien races from other parts of the Universe with the ability to travel through space using a ‘higher dimension.’ The star systems most suspect from arcane lore include the Pleiades, Sirius and Nibiru, Even the Urantia Book often reads as a guide to the Universe, various systems and their governments. In fact, when used with its index (concordex) the Sylva D’Terrestai often reminds me of a less humorous version of a real Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Elven History links itself with the cosmos, again via language. If examined, the words used to describe the Elven-Ffayrie as “Shinning Ones” are really a reference to the ‘shinning stars,’ including the hereditary Elven names “Eru” and “Anu” as well as the roots “En-“ and “El-.” The root “Ela-“ is reserved when referring to the stars specifically to avoid confusion. This makes the Anunaki (‘anu-nagi’) the ‘star-dragons’ if we take the name literally along with the Elvish word “elaynor,” which means both ‘star-dragon’ and ‘star-fire.’ Using this logic, the later ‘Children of Anu’ become ‘Children of the Stars,’ or ‘Star-born,’ which could also be said as “Elen” and “Elan” in the Elven language. Words like “Eloya” can translate in Human tongue as either ‘Elven-heart’ or ‘Star-heart.’ The Ubaid are then the descendents of a genetic stream from a distant star that began with an experiment in Eden who were observed by Watchers or ‘Nephilim.’ The Watcheres appear in ancient times as intermediaries between the physical plane of Gaea and the Source of All Being and Creation. They appear in archaic lore as powerful, but not “God” in and of themselves. The names of these energies include En, Enlil, Enki, Yah, Iah, Jahovah, Iao, and Yahweh.
Sumerian mythology mentions these intermediaries as Dragon Kings who were humanoid but not Human. The Ubaid name them as Enlil and Enki, and refer to Gaea as Tiamat, titled also in their lore as the ‘first dragon.’ It is Enki who claimed himself ‘Lord of the Earth’ upon his arrival from Nibiru. He is credited with the discovery of the bioengineering practices that lead to the creation of hybrid males, mixing the genetics of the Nibiru with the Earth-folk. Here begins the genetic memory of the whole ‘faerie-lover,’ ‘changeling,’ ‘giving birth to alien babies’ concept. Other lore would suggest that Enlil was responsible for Eden and Enki was Cano. Perhaps again, it is indeed only the diversity of the regional cultures and language that provide us different versions and names for the same ideas.
Enki was jealous of Enlil because he was genetically closer to Anu, much like the Cain and Abel story. Sumerian lore informs the seeker that it was Enki who was responsible for the Humans discovering that ‘vaginal sex’ causes reproduction when he appeared before the Human females. Prior to this, they had believed that the “gift” of children had come from Enlil. Here you should recognize a parallel between this story and the Garden of Eden, Eve, the Apple, ‘Original Sin,’ and the loss of innocence. The sacredness of sexuality disappeared and ‘lust-hormones’ were incorporated into the Human genetic structure causing the lifespan of Humans to shorten. Elven-Ffayrie genetics are less lustful since such chemicals are disruptive to the natural flow of magickal energies and shorten one’s lifespan (cause one to spiritually burn out.)
After the disappearance of the original masters, control of Mesopotamia became the most fought over territory in history. Many today still fight to claim this land. The centre of Ancient Aeurope is what Humans call the modern day ‘Middle East,’ and the Judeo-Hebrew call the ‘Holy Lands’ (and with good reason.) Unfortunately, the Great Flood coupled with thousands of years of discord over the region has mainly left it in waste and ruin. But why not? We have already been warned that the Sons of Man and the Sons of the Stars shall ever be in discord.
Since this lineage was very adamant in the ‘Holy Lands,’ many have now come to equate Jesus in this bloodline as well. This topic is beyond the nature of my work and thus I leave it as a remaining mystery for the seeker to research if so inclined. Entire books alone have been devoted to each portion of the ancient histories you have read and the medieval to follow, and thus I can by no means claim this to be an absolutely complete account of general history already available in academia and archaeological findings. So as not to turn this into too scholarly of a work, my intention with the ‘Elven Histories’ has been to present the correlation of facts between that which the Elves profess and the development of Humans and their stories. And as you study the words revealing the nature of Ancient Aeurope, many questions still need answering concerning the Elves and Ffayrie, but realize that we have not yet even tread into ‘Keltia,’ the more familiar Celtic lands of “Faerie-Faith.”
Volume Two
The Tuatha D’Anu: Children of the Stars
YouTube Version: Part One, Part Two
Text Version:
The Elvish Historians or ‘Remembrancers’ speak in a cryptic language. To them, of course, they understand it all perfectly well. When approached directly about their origins, a seer of the Elven-Ffayrie Way speaks to me of the following discourse that he ‘learned’ when he met a female Ffayrie ‘loremaster’ and priestess named Rhune while journeying in the Otherworld.
“We have always been here…for as long as there has been a ‘here.’ Our origins, as you ask, are of the Stars, as is all life. We belonged to G’ea long before the coming of Mortal Humans. Their emergence did in fact mark the end of the Age of Faerie. At one point, we really did exist as people on the surface world in the ‘Lands Above,’ as it is said. Being long lived we have not the need for constant reproduction or multiplication and we are careful that it occurs only through a moment when the couple is engulfed in the ‘Divine Flame of Eternal Love.’ Preservation of our race is always considered but we have always existed and still we remain. The ‘Lands Above’ would still be our home had we not encountered the Sons of Men. We thought not to fight with their overwhelming numbers so we crafted a ‘force-field’ to shield our new world from that of Mortal Humans and ended all contact for the most part. There are those of the Drwyd and Elven Wizard blood that remained throughout Aeurope. So we often appear and counsel those who honor and remember us. We are unable to completely abandon our brethren and the Green World of Nature that we tended on the surface, which we tend now from the Otherworld. It should be understood that we are not at all pleased to be forced into the Otherworld permanently or by necessity. This retreat of the Elven-Ffayrie is not viewed equally by all our ranks and so our Sacred [Seelie] Court is unfortunately split between the Light Folk and the Dark Elves who forever brood vengeance on the Human Race.”
All the ‘Creatures of Faerie’ have become creatures of “myth,” “legend,” and “fantasy,” and we are not just speaking of the ‘fair skinned occult gardener types,’ but also the Sylphs, Sprytes, Dragons, Fire-drakes, Dwarves, Gnomes, Merfolk (Undine,) Nixes, Pixies, Leprechauns and the Unicorn, among others. All of these are ‘Creatures of Faerie,’ misunderstood beings that exist now only on the brink of Human imagination. Yet, although there is a great fictional-fantasy tradition of role-playing games and novels, there is a true (authentic) origin behind this tradition, and a reason for believing in these kinds of ideas.
The main tenet of the previous treatise on the ‘Age of Faerie in Ancient Aeurope’ concerned the nature of genetic intervention whether from a leading group of humanoids on Earth, a Creator God, or some intermediary in between. Even ‘selective reproduction,’ when used in the manner of the Elven-Ffayrie is a method of genetic intervention. Genetics can also be altered through ‘environmental adaptation,’ and adaptation is necessary for the survival of a species. That means for a species to eventually overcome a barrier that affects its livelihood, it will have to change. The ‘genetic intervention’ paradigm, at the very least, helps in answering some of the unresolved issues of Human ancestry, since it is clear that all the species were being manipulated and controlled in some form, by some “authority.”
As a science, Anthropology has been unable to sufficient answer the problems of Human origins. Originally, the field was going to find an answer that would correlate with the Judeo-Christian Genesis, but at the time these goals were established, religion and science were at war with one another. Instead of ‘God-creates-Man so man comes from a Supreme and beautiful being,’ it somehow developed into ‘Man is a primitive ape who just got lucky.’ Darwin and the rest of the scientists also failed to establish how only some Cro-Magnon evolved into Human. How does only fifty percent of a particular caterpillar have the actual possibility of becoming a butterfly, putting all other conditions aside? The Cro-Magnons do not get “bred out.” They go extinct.
There is still the remaining theory concerning the ‘star origins’ of the Elves. There is certainly enough literary support for this within a paradigm that allows for aliens, inter-dimensional or interstellar beings. If a Human was able to put their pride aside for a moment, great wisdom might come from the acceptance of an advanced civilization or aspects of prehistoric Man that exist beyond the mortal knowledge of history. Without accepting the possibility of a particular ‘scientific paradigm’ or ‘framework’ you cannot expect to see it or prove it. Usually the expectations and rules of what we see and experience are programmed by the social culture to which we belong or are raised. Without looking beyond an existing boundary, achievements cannot be made.
The setting for the Tuatha D’Anu’s arrival in recorded history is mainly confined to Ancient Ireland, called “Eire,” “Erin,” and “Eriu.” They arrived in Ireland on Beltane (May Day,) concealed in a magickal fog or mist. While the European mainland was to the East of Ireland, the Tuatha D’Anu arrived from the North and West of the Island, settling in the mountains of Western Ireland. This led many to believe they were the ‘People of the North’ or that they came form the Atlantic Ocean somewhere. Their ships on the other-hand were said to be of a ‘sky-nature,’ which somehow caused an uncanny solar eclipse for three days of their arrival. This could be a reference to a thick fog that cloaked their ships or enveloped them when reaching harbor. It might also be interpreted as something more akin to an ‘air-craft.’ The ancient Celtic manuscripts record that the Tuatha D’Anu intentionally destroyed their ships in flames upon landing.
Ireland was already inhabited by an Elven-Ffayrie race at that time, being another descendent from the ‘blue folk’ called the “Nemed” or “Fir-Bolg,” translated perhaps too literally as the ‘Men of Bags.’ The Fir-Bolg were forced to take shelter as a result of the three days of smoke/fog/mist that affected Ireland. Needless to say they interpreted the Danubian arrival as an invasion of hostility and a war ensued between the two Faerie races.
In surveying the Histories until now, we have been able to supplement the fey-past with literature, tablets or ancient writings. For the purpose of the Tuatha D’Anu we must, of course, turn to Celtic sources. Unfortunately, the medieval and modern writers have a habit of confusing members of the Tuatha D’Anu with the adversaries of theirs, the Fir-Bog. Why unschooled practitioners would call on warriors of both sides in their magickal work simultaneously is beyond me. More confusing still is the incorporation of the pre-Fir-Bolg Cthonic Fomorian mythos. [The cryptic manuscripts we turn to when analyzing the Celtic Faerie Tradition include: The Book of Invasions, The Book of Leinster, The Book of Dun Cow, as well as the Oghamist’s Book of Ballymote (or Scholar’s Primer) and the Fferyllt-Barddas of the Drwyds.]
There are some scholars and metaphysical writers who are confused by the common spelling of the tribe, “Tuatha De Dannan,” and mistakenly align the Elven-Ffayrie solely to ‘Dana,’ derived from ‘Diana,’ the Roman forest-huntress. The present author emphasizes the “D’Anu” spelling which is factually more accurate, as in the “D’anube River.” To call them the “Dannan” might confuse them with the “Danes,” who are the Elven-Ffayrie of the Scandinavian/Norse Vikings and the ‘Svei,’ or “Swedes.”
When Romans encountered a Danubian clan in Scotland, they called them “Picts” or “Pict-Sidhe,” which is where one of the more famous pop-cultural titles developed. Why would the Romans refer to a group of Elven-Ffayrie as “Pixies” which, by the way, does not mean “small?” The roots “Pict-” and “Pix-“ relate to “pictures” and “pixels,” which is to call them the “Painted People” making a reference to their tribal use of tattooing. Their use of body-art was considered sacred and was not taken as lightly as it is by Humans.
The Tuatha D’Anu had a cultural and magickal tradition that far surpassed all that they had encountered. They even left a tremendous impression on the Celts of the La Tene culture. With the coming of the Tuatha D’Anu, ritual and ceremonial magick aligned to the elements of nature or “Elementalism” (as revealed in Chapter Eight) was possible. The Tuathan tribe of Elven-Ffayrie brought the ‘Gifts of Faeire,’ four objects or artifacts proving their skill in the arts and crafts of magick. Both “art” and “magick” are viewed as one and the same to the Elves. Their ability to craft wondrous objects imbued with mystical energy gave way to the magickal tradition of crafting ceremonial implements or tools used to direct ritual energy, as well as the idea of ‘amulets,’ ‘talismans,’ and ‘relics.’ As a result, Western Aeurope saw the birth of the “Western Magickal Tradition.”
Western ritual and ‘ceremonial magick’ is based on the Elements and the directions. The ‘Gifts of Faeire’ allowed a better understanding of the symbolism of these forces in Nature allowing for the development of ‘Elemental Magick.’ Even the ‘Ceremonialists’ and modern Wizards of the O.T.O, Golden Dawn and the like, have been unable to break away from the core and fundamental Elementalist paradigm in their magickal expressions. Though their ‘higher’ ceremonial and celestial practices are not the same as the naturalist Shaman, the same correspondence charts of magick are useful to them as to any Elf, Druid or Elemental Wizard.
The ‘Gifts of Faeire’ were brought to Ireland each from a different elementally-aligned city, by a ‘surviving’ representative from that city. These cities have been thought to have existed on Atlantis and that the Elven-Ffayrie and specifically the Tuatha D’Anu came from Atlantis. Other lore suggests that their cities were of an Otherworld nature, perhaps even celestial. Or, by making further assumptions from what we have learned thus far, the Otherworld Cities, Atlantis and the ‘Gifts of Faeire’ all may have originated with the Anunaki-mythos.
The ‘Stone of Fal,’ of the Northern city of Falias, came to us from Morfessa, High Wizard of the North. This stone was set at Tara, the ‘Seat of the Kings’ (“Dragons,” literally) where it would scream out whenever a true king set foot on it. Irish Druid history tells us that the only kings in Ireland during Celtic times were those who were made so on the ‘Stone of Fal,’ also called the ‘Stone of Scone.’ The true nature of the Element of Stone is Earth, and to the direction of North, Wizards have attributed it.
The ‘Spear of Lugh’ emerged from the Eastern city of Gorias carried by Esras. Known also as the ‘Spear of Destiny,’ this tool had the mystical ability to never miss its target. It would be more appropriate to call it a powerful relic whose magickal abilities have been misused. It was the implement used to pierce Christ’s side at the Crucifixion and was also carried by Hitler’s Nazi army. The notion that the item never misses its target hints at the relationship between the Wizard and a tool. It is driven or activated by willpower (the art of directing energy to a target) and so it becomes the “wand” in the magickal tradition. Both the wand and the spear are attributed to the power and energies of Elemental Air, reserved to the direction of East.
From the city of Finias came the ‘Sword of Nuada’, which was carried from the South by Uscias. Here we find the birth of the ‘magick sword’ archetype, for this blade carried with it other great names through history like “Albion,” “Caliburn,” and more famously, “Excalibur.” It is connected to the Elven-Ffayrie tradition as the ‘Sword of Greenwood Kings,’ carried by both Arthur Pendragon and Robin Hood. It is imbued with the ability to deal fatal blows with each strike, representing the surety of will, and the cutting, flaming, searing edge of willpower being properly directed. The sword or blade is always a symbol of Fire, dedicated to the Southern direction.
Finally, the ‘Cauldron of the Dagda,’ or Kerridwen’s ‘Cauldron of Rebrith,’ came to Ireland by Master Semias from the city of Murias to the West. In one legend, the cauldron acts as a ‘horn o’ plenty’ constantly refilling itself with an endless supply of food. Other lore suggests the artifact was used as a part of a healing ritual, reviving and curing the wounded of the Danubian/Fir-Bolg battles. Some believe the ‘Gundestrup Cauldron,’ found in the swamps of Denmark and attributed to the Drwyds, is the ‘Cauldron of the Dagda.’ The symbol of the cauldron itself has become one of the primary icons of magick and witchcraft. Most modern practitioners use a goblet or chalice, representing the ‘Holy Grail,’ as their representation of the Water Element. Ceremonially, the symbolism is almost identical. Some traditions incorporate both the cauldron and the chalice for different ritual purposes.
When the Tuatha D’Anu finally overcame the Fir-Bolg, they offered to the remaining surrendering race (approximately 300 Elven-Ffayrie) their own region of Ireland in which to live and thrive provided they could share the island in peace. The Tuatha D’Anu were not as aggressive as the Fir-Bolg and the Fomorians before them, or even their cousin-fey the Danes, Scandinavian Vikings and Norse Wizards. The true Elven folk, having the long lifespan, are not quick in their desire to throw that privilege away, nor are a scar or severe wound considered a battle trophy to them, as they would have to carry it with them perhaps hundreds of years.
The pacifist ideal of the Tuatha D’Anu did not keep them from winning the battle with the Fir-Bolg, who were, again, a distant Elven-Ffayrie relation. However, the Danubians had never come to Ireland seeking a fight in the first place. We are led to believe that they were running from something themselves, had no doubt already seen countless battles and abandoned their ships on their arrival to Ireland as if to say, “Here is our new home. We’re sick of running.” But from the point of view of the existing population, this was a malignant act of invasion and battle was an inevitable necessity. Their pacifism did, however, keep them from winning or fighting against the Milesians, the ‘Sons of Mil,’ or Mortal Humans.
The Milesian Celts, the Druids, and the Sidhe

Text Version:
Around the year 500 BC, the Milesian “Celts” invaded Ireland from Iberia with intent to fight and drive them. They were Mortal Humans and used their strengths: overwhelming numbers with crude weapons, to take over Ireland. Although the Milesians had no magickal abilities themselves, they were intrigued by the mystical abilities of the Tuatha D’Anu, and some of them even thought to enslave the race and force them to use their magick at Human bidding. Of course, the Danubian Celts did not share this idea, and so an agreement was reached where the Elven-Ffayrie would simply leave peacefully. Many of them remained, loving the land of Eriu so much that they transitioned into an ‘Underworld,’ beneath the conscious surface of the Milesian’s awareness, and “invisible.” They became known as the “Daoine Sidhe,” thought to inhabit burial mounds.
Those of the Tuatha D’Anu who did not remain hidden in Ireland went on to become the ‘Trooping Faerie-Sidhe’ of Scotland, the ones that Rev. Robert Kirk encountered, who were a part of the ‘Seelie’ and ‘Unseelie’ courts. Others went to Wales finding cousins in the form of ‘Dragon Priests’ inhabiting the mountain regions there. In Wales, surviving members of the Tuatha D’Anu maintained their mystical ways and natural philosophy, called ‘Druideachd’ or ‘Derwyth,’ which became the Druidism of the Drwyd Wizards descended from an ‘Age of Faerie.’ Those readers who have believed that the traditions of the Elven-Ffayrie have been handed down to European Humans in the form of Celtic Druidry would be correct.
The largest misconception about Danubian Druidism and the later Celtic Faerie Tradition is that instead of it being confined to Ireland and the British Isles, it is actually found throughout Aeurope/Eurasia. Before the worldwide destruction of the Drwyds by the Romans Empire, Keltia had extended from Ireland all the way to ‘Galatia,’ modern day Turkey. In fact, Galatia was home to the ‘Drunemeton,’ the most legendary and sacred of places in Ancient Elven-Ffayrie Drwyd lore, where large convocations (gatherings) took place annually.
The Sidhe took their name from the bloodline of the Scythian Kings of which they were descended. There may or may not be a connection between the “Scythians,” “Sithians” and “Sidhe,” and the Scythe-Sickle blade that the Druids were famous for carrying. This blade was used to cut sacred herbs, and is a symbol of the Fire Element. The ‘Golden Sickle’ can actually be used in place of the sword or blade as a tool in Elemental Magick in addition to being the ‘herbal boline’ or dagger.
Douglas Monroe received a lot of grief (as well as a lot of followers) when he presented the story of the ‘Fferyllt’ or ‘Pheryllt’ to the public as being a race of pre-Druidic ‘Dragon Priests’ who resided in the mountains of Wales called “Snowdonia” or “Snowdon.” We might even entertain the theory that the Pheryllt were the Danubian exiles or that the Tuatha D’Anu had been to the British/Scottish Isle (called ‘Albion’) before the coming of the Human Celtic Druids of a later time. Either way, the connection between the Fferyllt and the Elven-Ffayrie Dragon Priests like the Anunaki Alchemists is unmistakable. Most of the modern Druids who are skeptical of Monroe’s work, Barddas, Pheryllt-Druidism, and the Elven-Ffayrie Tradition that makes claims to a lineage prior to the 17th century are uninformed. Much of their current Druidism is either Wiccan based (and Wicca is a feminine interpretation of Druidry emerging in to the early 1900s) or completely against the Pheryllt, Barddas and the Elven-Ffayrie Tradition. The only recent exception I have seen in Mainstream Druidry was when Druid John Matthews released a new edition of Rev. Robert Kirk’s The Secret Lives of Elves and Faeries.
This is what separates a “True Drwyd” from a “New Age Druid” who thinks that just because he walks and talks like a Druid… Here the reader should note the line between the magick that is inherited (and learned) via the genetics of the Merlyn Wizards (and the Ancient Schools) and the psychological magick impressed today in the form of “New Age puffery.” Some most excellent literary support for the Elven-Ffayrie does not even come from the recent works, but from the collected research of W.Y. Evans-Wentz in The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries (1911.)
There are indeed some books and resources that would offer vast contributions to the modern seeker and then there are those works and organizations that would tell you not to trust the former sources, meanwhile offering no real substitution or replacement. Perhaps it is for this reason that I was excommunicated, unseated or expelled from the “Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids” in England. But that is okay, because the Elven-Ffayrie lineage exists apart from any manmade organization that becomes as political and closed-minded as the religions they sought to overcome.
The Sidhe themselves are the largest or rather the tallest descendents from the Tuatha D’Anu. It is often difficult to judge Elven-Ffayrie size because most of them have the ability to alter it, ‘shape-shift,’ and ‘poly-morph.’ The form that the Sidhe took after the coming of the Milesians was an ‘ethereal’ or ‘akashic-astral’ form that would allow them to transition easily into the Otherworld, an alternate dimension. It could only be in such a form, ‘spirit-like,’ or invisible, beneath the surface of Human perception, that they would be able to remain in the same Green World, but in the ‘Hollow Hills’ and the ‘Lands Beneath.” Because of their ‘ethereal’ nature, the Elvish Wizards and Drwyds remaining in the physical world said that ‘twilight’ (either dawn or dusk type) is the best condition of time (called a ‘natural threshold’) to see their ‘spirit-forms.’
“Druidism” was not a “religion” to the Drwyds, but like Moses, they were charged to lead a people with their mystic abilities and natural philosophy in the form of the teachings and lineage of the Dragon Kings and Elven-Ffayrie Wizards and Priestesses. Religion was needed to motivate and unite the masses of Keltia, which was quite vast and consisted of many diverse tribes and clans. For this reason, the classical writers speak of Druidism as the “Religion of the Celtic people.” The observing and interested Humans adopted many of the Elven-Ffayrie traditions as a ‘religious way of life’. It would be more correct to view it as a “spiritual way of life with a quantum-magickal paradigm for which to view the world.”
Religious customs included baptismal rites of the Water Element, which are pre-Christian and represent the “Underworld Intitiation.” Baptism could not be specific to modern Christianity alone because a Jew baptized Jesus himself. Funeral traditions involved a three-day wake which involved staying with the dead for three days, after which the actual funeral ceremony was observed. The La Tene culture was prone to cremating their dead whereas the Ancient Ones preferred burial in mounds and tombs. The idea of the Elven-Ffayrie living in the burial mounds and Dragon Kings living in tombs and pyramids may have given rise to the ‘Vampire-mythos,’ as Nicholas de Vere is fond of advocating. As for this tangent, however, I will leave the readers to pursue such studies on their own.
Pliny the Elder speaks of the Elvish Drwyd custom of ‘cutting the Mistletoe.’ There has been so much controversy surrounding the nature of this tradition that it almost makes one laugh (or cry over the stupidity.) Everyone seems to have an opinion about how Mistletoe grows, the range of it in ancient times, on what trees it can grow on, or not at all. It actually does grow on Oaks, but not very often. Mistletoe became associated with ‘Alban Arthuann,’ the Winter Solstice, or Yule by the Druids. The names of the Mistletoe in Gaelic languages translate to mean ‘all-heal’ and ‘high branch.’ The sacred herb was considered the active ingredient in all herbal medicine and magick and thus it was incorporated in nearly all of their homeopathic tinctures and ritual incense blends. [More lore concerning the Mistletoe appears in Chapter Nine.]
When the Milesian Celts finally equalized with the remaining Dragon heirs, Elvish Druids and Ffayrie Priestesses, they were no longer their own race isolated on a private island or mainland forest, for the first time. To maintain and preserve their most sacred traditions, history and mystic rites (a part of which you hold in your hands right now,) they had to form an ‘Order,’ ‘Mystery School,’ or ‘Secret Society.’ From this they reserved themselves to the ancient and secret groves to learn and teach their way, independent of Human eyes. Yes, many of them were now a large part Human, but those who still maintained any part of this tradition remained apart from the ‘herd.’ Thus was born the ‘Bardic College,’ and the ‘Druid Order,’ the modern origin of the “Wizard’s School” archetype. While some secret cabals had existed prior, the Druids maintained influence in the Celtic World (Keltia) for the better part of a thousand years.
The Gaelic and Welsh language became adopted by the Elven-Ffayrie as their “official language” in that time. There was a language of the Hyperboreans called the ‘Quendi,’ and the Wood Elves who had transitioned into the Green World prior to the arrival of the Tuatha D’Anu, had their own language as well. Using their ancient vocabulary, one can see how the ‘Bardic College’ was divided in relation to what contemporary society understands in the modern education system.
Freshman – ‘fochluc’ (new spring sprout) Sophomore – ‘fulmithr’ (branch-shoot) Junior – ‘dos’ (young/small tree) Bardic Graduate – ‘cana’ (mature tree) Masters/Oghamancer – ‘clieth’ (pillar of the forest) PhD/Drwyd Graduate – ‘anruith’ or ‘anrath’ (mighty wave) Teacher/Master – ‘ollamh’ (master)
While Gaelic-Welsh was the official language or national language of the Elven-Ffayrie of the British Isles often written in Greek letters, there were other characters used not for common purposes called the ‘Ogham Forest Alphabet.’ Today this is used primarily for divination in the “New Age,” but can more appropriately be used for ‘High Forest Magick’ and communion/communication with the woodlands. The Ogham alphabet was used in the construction of coded wood and stone signs spread all throughout Keltia readable only by the Elven Drwyds and members of the secret society. It is now a more commonly known system, along with the Nordic Runes. While it was forbidden to write many of the sacred teachings down, lore was maintained at hundreds of ‘sylvan libraries’ formed from leaves and bark of trees to make the characters and letters. The Romans destroyed many of these and St. Patrick is said to have personally burned or overseen the destruction of more than 200 of them.
The Elvish Loremasters offer to us a mystery tradition suitable for the seeker of any time and place. It is no religion other than the pursuit of the Absolute Universal Truth in whatever forms it takes in a given moment or locale. This Truth must be discovered for each on their own and not discussed or rationalized with others. Truth is to be embraced when it is found, and the Right Path of Right Action will lead you there. When in doubt, you can always reflect on the motto established by the Mystic Wizards of the Earth:
Y Gwir Yn Erbyn Byd
An Ffhirinne in Aghaidh An Tsaiol
The Truth Against The World
