    In time, they started calling themselves the Sylvan Elves, and that eventually transformed into their current name, the Silver Elves. We say some of his poems because the vast majority of his rhymes are found in other books, particularly An Elfin Book of Dreams: an Oracle of Faerie which contains nearly 360 spells and enchantments, most of them rhymed. The poems in this volume of poems, however, are not found anywhere else. Some of these poems are from songs that he wrote, many of them from over 30 years ago. Some of them are Haikus. Two are long myths, and one is really a delightful and rhyming children's story, although this is not a book for children as it also contains some erotic poetry and is meant for mature readers. They are all evocative in their way of Elven Magic.

    It also reveals a system for using stones to find a spirit at random, which is what the authors most often do when seeking the aide of a spirit. These are Elfin spirits, so they command the powers and influences of Faerie and in addition to helping the conjuror fulfill hir Will, they will also ever seek to guide the magician to the fulfillment of hir Destiny and the progress toward the perfection of hir True S'elf.

    If you've ever wanted to see Elfland from the inside, as the elves view and live it, here's your chance. These are true stories of elfin magic from the lives of the Silver Elves. There are things they cannot tell you, some secrets they cannot reveal, but what they do tell you is true. The book begins with the latest relocation of our Eald (magical home/realm) and the energizing thereof, and proceeds to reflections from former Ealds and magical events and people in their lives in the past and present. It reveals their lives and how magic is woven through their days and nights and their unusual way of viewing and encountering a world that is both mundane and magical at the same time. The Silver Elves are ever aware of living in relationship to and in association with the spirit of the place where they currently abide and which forms the living body of their realm of Elfin that they call Eldafaryn.

    It is not necessary to read Volume 1 before reading and enjoying Volume 2. These letters give the reader an experiential understanding of what it is to be an elf and enter the realm of Faerie and Magick.

    He is not merely a magician, but a genuine mystic, an intensely private person who is absorbed in what Blake called the inner worlds and their mystery....David Conway was brought up in a remote country district of Wales....When he was four he was taken to see a local farmer, Mr. James, (who) remained his chief mentor, introducing him to the basic principles of magic...Someone should persuade him to write about his apprenticeship; from the hints he has dropped, I suspect it would be as fascinating as Carlos Castaneda's accounts of Don Juan, as well as being rather more truthful.Colin Wilson in his Introduction to David Conway's Magic: an occult primer, 1988Born and brought up in mid-Wales, David Conway has returned home to his birthplace after many years spent abroad, first as a student in Paris and Strasbourg, then, after a diplomatic posting to Brussels, as Principal Director of the European Patent Office in Munich. He has also been a Civil Servant in London. His first book, Magic: an occult primer attracted considerable media attention when it appeared in 1972. Still in demand on both sides of the Atlantic, it was followed by two further books, The Magic of Herbs and Secret Wisdom: the occult universe explored, both similarly well received. One reviewer predicted that the author would become a cult figure, especially among the young, but he had no such ambitions. Only now has he emerged from seclusion to describe what it's like to grow up learning how to be a magician. His is an extraordinary story, stylishly told, one that will appeal as much to readers with little or no interest in magic as to those fully committed to its practice. This remarkable book may yet turn David Conway into the cult figure that was predicted. Whether he likes it or not.

Excerpt: Wicca (pronounced ) is a specific Neopagan religion. Its adherents are referred to as Wiccans, though the terms Witches or Crafters are also used. Developing in England in the first half of the 20th century, Wicca was popularised in the 1950s and early 1960s by a Wiccan High Priest named Gerald Gardner, who at the time called it the "witch cult" and "witchcraft," and its adherents "the Wica." From the 1960s onward, the name of the religion was normalised to "Wicca." Wicca is typically a duotheistic religion, worshipping a goddess and a god, who are traditionally viewed as the Triple Goddess and Horned God. These two deities are often viewed as being facets of a greater pantheistic godhead, and as manifesting themselves as various polytheistic deities.
