Reseña del libro "Creating Miracles In The Modern World: The Way Of the Elfin Thaumaturge (en Inglés)"
CREATING MIRACLES IN THE MODERN WORLD is a book of Elfin Thaumaturgy, of miracle working and wonder creation, although for these elves we much prefer the idea of wonder working and creation to the idea of miracles. We love wonders. We love creating them; we love encountering them. This simple tome will explore the means by which we may do so. By which we mean not only creating the wondrous but also developing our ability to see and appreciate the wonders that are all around us. These things are tied together. The ability to see wonders promotes the creation of wonders.Other popular books on miracles state that there is no such thing as magic. We wonder then what they think miracles are if not magic. Of course, what they mean is that human beings are incapable of magic and that only the Divine, which they perceive of in the form of the Christian demi-god and his retinue, can do magic, which is to say create miracles. We elves, naturally, disagree. We are elves; we are magic by our very natures. We don't so much have to do magic; we are magic. We exude magic from our pores. Our every movement is magic. Magic is an effect of our being.Creating Miracles In the Modern World shows you, whoever you are--whether you are an elf or Otherkin or consider yourself a member of normal humanity--that the more we develop our own inner divine nature, the more wondrous we become, and therefore in consequence the more we are able to recognize the subtle wonders of the world and the Universe. Thus, s'elf development is ever a part of the progress of the elfin magician who seeks, first and foremost, to master hir (his/her) own s'elf in order to have influence upon the world at large and not the other way around. For mastery of ones'elf (also called s'elf discipline) is, in fact, a most wondrous thing creating awe in those who observe it, inspiring them with possibility. And possibility, which is the true nature of the Divine Magic, is at the root of the miraculous and the wondrous. Every wondrous thing flows from its being that expresses itself through us. Thus it is that in the act of sub-creation and in some cases, perhaps, co-creation, we, like the Divine Magic itself, do manifest wonders. Wondrous is FaerieRadiant and fairBut most wondrous of allIs the love we elven share.
