What An Elf Would Do, Too

WHAT AN ELF WOULD DO, TOO: Book Two of a Magical Guide to the Manners and Etiquette of the Faerie Folk is our second in a series of elfin manners books, the first one being What an Elf Would Do: A Magical Guide to the Manners and Etiquette of the Faerie Folk. You do not need to read the first volume before reading this one, although you would surely enjoy doing so as it is a wry, sly, often tongue in cheek view of how elves see and interact with the world of the Normal folk as well as with Otherkind of all sorts. This second volume continues to give and expand suggestions for elven etiquette in many of the same life situations as discussed in the first book, but this volume two also includes some modern social situations that were not really as prevalent at the time we published the first book. For instance, What An Elf Would Do, Too, includes an entire chapter on elven social skills in interacting successfully in social media. Also, in the last five years, mainly due to social media, the elven and otherkin communities have greatly expanded and have begun to awaken more and understand their unique and diverse kin types. This book two in the series further explores many situations that elven and faerie folk may find as they encounter a variety of elves and fae folk.
What An Elf Would Do, Too begins with a discussion of each of the Seven Basic Laws (Guidelines) of Elven Hospitality, Etiquette and Manners. This gives the elfae (a word we Silver Elves coined that combines elf and fae and so includes elves and all other folk of the Faerie realm) an etiquette philosophy to follow that can be applied to about any situation in life that we encounter.
Most of the discussions in this book come from people asking us questions about what they could do as they have encountered certain situations. A few of these questions of which there are 84 all total that we cover in this book are: What does an elf do if they are on social media and still feel lonely for their kindred? How do you deal with elfae groups in social media as an administrator? What does an elf do if they get put in ‘Facebook Jail’? How do you deal with people who make fun of you when you are out in the world dressed as and expressing your elfae or otherkin s’elf? What do we do if someone gives us the Evil Eye? What does an elf do when they feel depressed but don’t know whether they should express it or not? What does an elf do if they have a job that they hate? What do we do with people who refuse to eat our food because it is Faerie food? What does an elf do if they meet someone who knows they are an elf but derives their sense of s’elf totally from Tolkien’s writings? How does a dark elf deal with those who act like he/she is an Unseelie fae? How do we interact with fae with different political beliefs from our own? How do we deal with individuals who say they are High Fae and think they are superior to others? How do you rear a child to be elfin or faerie and respectfully deal with others in the world? How do we deal with people who think we elfae steal children? How do we deal with people who have gender-based customs? How do we deal with those who seek to enforce their customs in our realms? Is it rude (or dangerous) to step into a Faerie Ring? Is it ok to do divination, energy work, spells, etc. on people without their permission?
What An Elf Would Do, Too is designed to help the elfin everywhere to move through the often mysterious cultures of mankind with confidence and ease and to enjoy interacting in the Fae and Otherkin communities as well. You will find as you read along in this book that often we share what we Silver Elves have done in similar situations as being discussed, all to give at least our own experiences as examples of ways to deal with the world in what we have found to be both effective in our own life and as courteous as possible.
