As always, I adore your posts.

The detail makes it easy to draw the comparisons with actual experience, other culture's lore, and other such things.

You know just to add to this post, according to Draconic History, The Elves came from a place called Alver, which does sound similar to Alfar. They are described as being tall and fair. With many cultures and ways of life. I found it quite interesting when I found out but your description of the Alfar gives me new light and I thank you for that.

Draconic history? Could you point me in a direction?

I've been looking for any lore on Draconic lore that doesn't step only from modern New Age concepts.

An interesting read.

Why would someone honor an Alfar?

Draconic History is as it sounds. I learned much about it from my guide. It is hard to find sensible information now a days which I hope to change me. PM me if you want to learn more

Traditionally sacrifices and offerings were made for the Alfar, and since we work towards reestablishing that tradition we do the same.

All the wights are important to work with, because they all have things to teach and share. It's the same reason a Heathen may work with the Gods, the Jotun, the dwarves, elves, landwights and so on.

The alfar can teach a pathwalker quite a bit. Especially in regards to magick and pathwalking/projection in general. They are often seen as important factors in Northern Tradition Shamanism as well.

Like any spirits that you might encounter, a small offering goes a long way towards good relations.
