Elves in Germanic Folklore with Rose Aurora

For this month's episode of Fabulous Folklore Presents, I'm thrilled to bring you a chat with Rose Aurora!
Rose is a fairy seer & sorceress, specializing in Faery, Elf, and Troll-related issues & spiritual needs. She is honored to be part of a spiritual lineage of Celtic origin, but she is also trained in other spiritual traditions including Trolldom, of which she is a certified apprentice of Johannes Gårdbäck. Rose is a professional spiritual worker, conducting readings, spellwork, scrying coaching, and ongoing mentorship in the magical arts. She has also presented at the 2024 Salem Witch Fest.
In this conversation, we chat about elves in Germanic folklore, the links between elves and fairies in wider folklore, and how our mental image of elves is often shapes by the work of Tolkien.

Hail to the Elves!

I loved this. I first got into esoteric studies, trying to determine if the near-universal belief in other-worldly beings has any common features. So far, I think they do, but they vary over time and space so much that the task is unending - I am happy to report 🤓🤓
