Elverne (oldnordisk: \u00e1lfar, ental, \u00e1lfr) er guddommelige v\u00e6sener i den nordiske mytologi. Der vides ikke meget om dem, men de har en eller anden form for forbindelse til Aesir og Vanir. Freyr, som er Frejas bror, blev hersker over deres rige Alfheim (oldnordisk: \u00c1lfheimr).<\/p>\n\n

Elverne er blevet beskrevet som v\u00e6rende smukkere end solen. De omtales nogle gange som lysalfer, hvilket kan tyde p\u00e5, at de enten har en hvid hudfarve eller har en \u00e5ndelignende figur.<\/p>\n\n

Elverne er ligesom Vanir, naturens og frugtbarhedens guder, og de har magt til at g\u00f8re mennesker syge, men de kan ogs\u00e5 helbrede dem med deres store viden om magiske kr\u00e6fter, ligesom en V\u00f6lva.<\/p>\n\n

Snorri Sturluson har opdelt elverne i to grupper, lysalferne (oldnordisk: lj\u00f3salfar) og m\u00f8rkealferne (oldnordisk: svartalfar). Dette kan dog v\u00e6re en misforst\u00e5else og en forkert overs\u00e6ttelse af den Poetiske Edda. Da m\u00f8rkelytterne er blevet beskrevet som v\u00e6rende levende under jorden, hvilket kunne tyde p\u00e5, at de i virkeligheden er dv\u00e6rge.<\/p>\n\n

Dv\u00e6rgenes rige kaldes ogs\u00e5 Svartalfheim (oldnordisk: Svart\u00e1lfaheimr), hvilket m\u00e5 betyde, at svartalfar er et andet navn for dv\u00e6rge.<\/p>\n\n

N\u00e5r man l\u00e6ser de gamle nordiske kilder, synes elverne og dv\u00e6rgene at v\u00e6re meget t\u00e6t forbundet, og de kunne faktisk v\u00e6re en og samme person. Det skal siges, at elver og dv\u00e6rge ikke skal forst\u00e5s som de er skildret i J.R.R. Tolkiens univers, hvor de er meget forskellige arter. Efter min personlige mening er de ikke det samme, men de er meget t\u00e6t forbundet.<\/p>\n\n

Elverne blev tilbedt i Skandinavien under og f\u00f8r vikingetiden. Det vigtigste elverritual fandt sted i slutningen af efter\u00e5ret, og det blev og bliver stadig kaldt \u00c1lfabl\u00f3t (elverofferet). Dette ritual afholdes stadig i mange \u00c1satr\u00fa-samfund i hele Skandinavien og i dele af Nordamerika.<\/p>\n\n
