An elf plural elves is a being from Germanic mythology. The elves were originally thought of as a race of divine beings endowed with magical powers, which they use for both the benefit and injury of mankind. In medieval Norse mythology, they appear to have been divided into Light elves and Dark elves, difficult to delineate from the gods on one hand and the dwarves on the other. In early and mordern folklore, they became associated with the fairies of Romance folklore and assume a diminutive size, often living mainly in forests but also underground in hills or rocks, or in wells and springs. They were often depicted as very young, probably adolescents as male elves lack of facial hair. From thair depiction in Romanticism, elves entered the 20th-century high fantasy genre in the wake of the published work of J. Tolkien especially the posthumous publication of his Silmarillion where Tolkien's treatment of the relation of light elves, dark elves and dwarves is made explict. The "Christmas elves" of contemporary pop culture were popularized during the 's in the United States, in publications such as Godey's Lady's Book. Alternatively, a connection to the Rbhus, semi-divine craftsmen in Indian mythology, has also been suggested. The Middle English forms with this weak declension were aluen e and eluen e.

Pixie elf

A pixie also called pisky , pixy , pixi , pizkie , piskie , or pigsie in parts of Cornwall and Devon is a mythical creature of British folklore. Pixies are speculated to be particularly concentrated in the high moorland areas around Devon [1] and Cornwall, [2] suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name. However, the word 'pixie' under various forms also appears in Dorset , Somerset and to a lesser extent in Sussex , Wiltshire and Hampshire. In the modern era, they are usually depicted with pointed ears , often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat. Traditional stories describe them as wearing dirty, ragged bundles of rags, which they discard for gifts containing new clothes. These, however, are Victorian era conventions and not part of the older mythology. The origin of the word pixie is uncertain. It could have come from the Swedish dialectal pyske , meaning 'small fairy '.
