“Nikolay Lyapanenko is a young author, artist, occultist, philosopher, deep-thinker and mystic. He was born July 16, 2002, in Poltava, a small town in Ukraine. He writes in the New Age genre on such themes as Spirituality, Esotericism, Paganism, Psychology and the Elven Path with a cross-cultural, unique perspective. In his first world-wide published book, The Elves From Ancient Times To Our Days, he includes both rich Slavic and European folklore and history that he translates into English and combines into a fascinating study of the history of elves and the Modern Elven Awakening that reaches all parts of our globe.
At a very young age, Nikolay showed a great interest in creativity, philosophy, and esotericism and had a fervent passion for learning and developing. After years of practice and studying of Occult Knowledge, Ancient Craft, he became a teacher and mentor for many people both in Europe and abroad.
Since infancy, Nikolay felt different from the majority of his peers and people always called him special and unusual. People who knew him, have always given to Nikolay many names and descriptions - the indigo child, an alien, strange, another, not from this world. But he calls himself "an Elf" and feels that he came here to this world for a special mission to Awaken and Enlighten. Growing up in war-torn Ukraine and also struggling himself with a chronic disease, Nikolay had to go through truly uneasy circumstances in his early life, passing the thorny school of Becoming toward a spiritual awakening and self-realization. At 8, he had a mysterious Awakening and realized that his Mission here is to Awaken and Enlighten. “
