  Elf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elves are often pictured as youthful-seeming men and women of great beauty living in forests and other natural places, underground, or in wells and springs.
As such, elves appear similar to the animistic belief in spirits of nature and of the deceased, common to nearly all human religions; something that, on a side note, is true also for the Old Norse belief in fylgjur and vörðar ("follower" and "warden" spirits, respectively).
Machine elves, a term first introduced by writer and psychedelic researcher Terrence McKenna, is used to describe the presumed other-worldly intelligent beings which subjects sometimes feel they encounter during psychedelic experiences (especially those induced by naturally-occurring tryptamines, such as DMT or psilocybin), as well as during shamanic and alien abduction experiences.

Many of the stoic high elves, reeling from the loss of their ancient homeland, Quel'Thalas, have given in to their hatred and despair and embraced the dark side of their magical natures.
Though still loyal to the Alliance, the Blood Elves' passions will lead them not only to the highest pinnacles of power, but to the darkest depths of madness.
Though still members of the Alliance, the Blood Elves have begun to turn to the darkest parts of magic, abandoning the water and frost spells of the Kirin Tor for the fire and heat of what some people fear to be Demonic magic.

If I recall, your reading of Jung led you to conclude that flying saucers in the sense of extraterrestrial machines do not exist, but that they are a sort of phantasmagoric manifestation of the collective Id erupting into the mass imagination.

 DMT, Moses, and the Quest for Transcendence
At one point during the session, I had the sense that I was in the company of peculiarly elusive "elves", which though decidedly good natured, seemed to have a decidedly mischeivous sense of humor.
The most extraordinary thing about thing about these "elves" was that if you tried to "focus in on them" in any way, they would sort of "evaporate", but if you just sort of "let go", and "forgot about them", you would "see" them clearer.
Sometimes I could not produce elves, and my mind would wander through all sorts of magnificient and amazing creations, but the times that I did see elves I tried very hard to press them into giving up some non-transient feature that would comfirm at least a rudimentary "autonomous existence" beyond my own imagination.

Snow says he thinks of her as a magician, but she corrects him by stating that she's a scientist, and launches into a discussion of the "microscale of the universe." She touches on Richard Feynman and his theories on the universes that exist on the smallest levels of existence, and the quantum or subatomic level.
Or with pneuma-exhaling DMT machine elves from the microverse either, for that matter.
While Melanctha seems to be telling Snow that there's more to his task than battling The Four, the narrative arc of the story seems to have brought Snow to a point from which he can't go back: he's engaged them, exiled one and captured another, and can't help but expect reprisals from the remaining pair.

Terence McKenna was the Magellan of psychedelic head space, and humanity’s first ambassador to the hyperdimensional machine elves of the Eschaton.
For instance, McKenna found that DMT (the active ingredient of ayahuasca) could be extracted from plants, purified and smoked, which invariably resulted in the user having a UFO abduction-type experience (in which the machine elves were seen as aliens in flying saucers).
So when the hyperdimensional machine elves talked, he listened.
