The following is my "spiritual bio," required submission to be ordained as a Priestess in the Temple
of Isis in Geyserville, CA. This divine appointment occured on 10-10-10:
My
name is Elaine Marie Silver. I grew up in the suburbs of Morris County New Jersey, in a musical family which always
encouraged me to follow my passion of singing and performing.
As a child, I produced musical
events for my family and for the neighbors. Throughout my developing years, I had many opportunities to musically shine. Beginning
in junior high school chorus, I was often spotlighted as a soloist, and in high school I was a chosen member of both the North
Jersey and All State Choruses. Not surprisingly, I became a vocal performance major in college, both in classical and
jazz. As early as age 18 or 19, I committed to pursuing music as my career, and have been successful at doing this as
my full time profession since 1979.
In the mid-1970's I also began a journey of self-discovery.
By attending many workshops, including the est Training in 1976, I embarked on a path of empowerment and love. It
was in the mid-1980's that I had a Spiritual Awakening, and began to express my transformation through my music. Later
on in that decade, I discovered the Goddess as a result of attending monthly Full Moon Circles held at the Morristown (NJ)
Unitarian Fellowship. These gatherings were initially inspired by the writings of feminist author Barbara G. Walker,
a then-resident of Morristown, who also acted as the group "herstorian." I was very inspired as I learned
more about the Goddess and Earth-based Spirituality. I even started my own New Moon Circle which, for a number of years,
met each month at my home in Montville, NJ. These times produced an amazingly joyful and sweet sisterhood that still
exists, and we lovingly refer to ourselves as "The Goddesses."
Magically, in 1993, the Faeries
came into my life, and I began to incorporate Goddess ritual with the sharing of sweet Faerie energy. I was in a place
of greatly inspired creativity where many songs and stories were born, including my name,"Faerie Elaine of the Silver
Stream of Consciousness." I was invited to present Faerie activities and ritual at various events, including Womongathering
in Pennsylvania, a Faerie Gathering at The Wise Women Center in Saugerties, NY, and for many years I had the honor of standing
in as Faerie Priestess at Women Circles Retreats, held annually at Rowe Conference Center in Rowe, Massachusetts. The
Faerie Movement was alive and well in the Northeast, and much magic was afoot.
Around that same time, I discovered
New Thought Philosophy and began studying the teachings of the Science of Mind and Universal Law. I learned to utilize
scientific prayer, also known as Spiritual Mind Treatment or Spiritual Alignment, as a part of my own spiritual practice.
The many years of classes have given me a wealth of ideas and insight which continue to influence my song writing and
workshop presentations. I have been filling in for ministers for the past 8 years at numerous New Thought and Metaphysical
Centers such as Unity Churches, Centers For Spiritual Living and even some Unitarian Churches. I often share empowering
platform presentations, which include varying themes, held in a context of singing, chanting and audience participation.
I
have been presented with MANY testimonials that acknowledge the healing power of my voice. I have been divinely blessed
to have been given this gift, and I happily share it with those who choose to open to these Truth teachings. I know
that the sound of music is very healing, and it is a scientific fact that music raises the vibratory rate of those who actively
participate. This is one step in focusing energy to assist ourselves in becoming conscious creators of our own realities.
My aim and purpose is to assist people in discovering their own divinity and our Oneness.
It
is with deep appreciation that I become an ordained Priestess in The Temple of Isis, as well as taking on the responsibility
of aspecting the "Voice of Isis." It is a great honor, and I do this with much love and devotion.
