Hey there, fellow travellers!
Merry Christmas! I was recently a guest on the Lore of the Rings podcast - that's L-O-R-E - where I joined host Aaron to discuss the ways in which Lord of the Rings is a "fundamentally religous work".
We uncovered:
- The grace Faramir says before sharing a meal with Frodo and Sam.
- The liturgical significance of March 25 — the day the One Ring was destroyed.
- The mysterious Three Prayers of Númenor, preserved in Unfinished Tales.
- Why Tolkien preferred absorbed symbolism over overt allegory.
I wanted to share a portion of this interview on The Tolkien Road's podcast feed, but you really need to go check out the whole thing over on Aaron's feed.

The one spark of hope that I felt was the knowledge that it had Peter Jackson as an Executive Producer, and that it had nothing to do with Amazon Studios.

In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains how he began to track Gollum but made a critical mistake.
SECTION START: “You have seen Gollum?” exclaimed Frodo in amazement.
SECTION END: “...down at last to the land of Mordor.”

In this bonus episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we’ll conclude our jaunt through the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings by exploring the sections “Of the Finding of the Ring” and “Note on Shire Records”!
The final two sections of the Lord of the Rings’ Prologue essentially serve to connect the story’s beginning with the events of The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, as it’s known “in-universe”.
In so doing, we’re given a glimpse into the tricksy details and false accounts that yield a deeper insight into the operation of the One Ring.

As we discovered in the last episode, the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings contains matters which don’t, at first, seem to matter much to the overall narrative arc of the story itself.
However, for Tolkien, the background and details matter immensely. It’s why we wound up, for example, with a large volume of Tolkien’s notes concerning things like the aging process of Elves as well as the flora and fauna of Númenor.
For Tolkien, Middle-earth became an increasingly REAL place. Not that he was crazy - instead, I’d say his creative process was informed by a strong mystical streak.
While the titles of these sections may seem very dry, there are details herein which will serve to deepen our appreciation of the intricate narrative tapestry that Tolkien spent 15 years creating.

I just want to say - I hope you all are enjoying this journey as much as I am! There's just something about a REALLY SLOW read that seems utterly true to the nature of Tolkien and Middle-earth, and I'm excited to continue our epic DO NOT BE HASTY quest soon!
In the meantime, I want to share with you some selections from Tolkien's Overture, my book concerning the Middle-earth creation story, Ainulindalë, and the role of music in Middle-earth. The first selection is the book's first chapter, a close reading of the very first pages of The Silmarillion. The second selection is the book's sixth chapter, an extended exegesis of the role of Tom Bombadil and the source of his power.
I hope you enjoy it!
Head on over to TolkienRoad.com/TOVT for info on how you can enjoy the whole thing! That's TolkienRoad.com/TOVT! 
And by the way, if you really love what we're doing, please consider becoming a member of the Fellowship of the Road by visiting Patreon.com/TolkienRoad!
One last thing: use code MUSIC10 at TrueMythsPress.com to get 10% off of everything in our Etsy store!

Apparently more than you'd think!
Greta and I watched Tarantino's 2019 film "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" twice this week, and found some fascinating synchronicities with Tolkien's own vision of fairy tales from "On Fairy-stories", including one that has me convinced that Tarantino MUST HAVE read Tolkien when creating the film.

I was recently a guest on the Exploring Tolkien podcast from TheOneRing.com. We had a great discussion looking at some of the changes in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films and asking the question: Are we OK with these changes?

Some of the issues we discussed include:

• Do Men Want Power MORE THAN Immortality?
• Did Jackson SCREW UP The Last Alliance of Men and Elves?
• Does The One Ring REALLY Have A Mind Of Its Own?

“The Resurrection was the greatest ‘eucatastrophe’ possible in the greatest Fairy Story – and produces that essential emotion: Christian joy which produces tears because it is qualitatively so like sorrow, because it comes from those places where Joy and Sorrow are at one, reconciled, as selfishness and altruism are lost in Love.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 89

While we’ve covered Leaf By Niggle several times in the past, and frequently refer to it, it’s an incredible gem, hidden behind the mountainous wonder that is the Middle-earth legendarium. For me, it’s a story that never ceases to fill me with wonder and joy, and if I’m being honest, it always manages to get me a little choked up. I suppose this effect has something to do with what Tolkien called “Christian joy”, that “which produces tears because it is qualitatively so like sorrow, because it comes from those places where Joy and Sorrow are at one, reconciled, as selfishness and altruism are lost in Love.”
I wish people knew about this story like they knew about The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I believe it is truly a life-changing story, bearing the aura of supernatural inspiration, like so much of Middle-earth. And it’s a joy to discuss this story with others, and to learn what they see in it.

Many of you know that I have argued that Númenor’s purpose went beyond being a mere reward for the descendants of the Edain, and seemed to be filled with symbolism and rituals intended to point them to a greater destiny both in this world and beyond it.

"Lovely is Númenor. But my heart resteth not here for ever;
for here is ending, and there will be an end and the Fading,
when all is counted, and all numbered at last,
but yet it will not be enough, not enough.
What will the Father, O Father, give me in that day beyond the end when my Sun faileth?"

“Frodo indeed ‘failed’.”

What did he mean by that? Is there a deeper message that Tolkien himself took away from writing the scene of Frodo’s failure? What bits of wisdom can we glean from Tolkien’s commentary on Frodo’s failure at Mt Doom?

We’ll dive into these questions and seek to understand what deeper truths about mercy, justice, and suffering Tolkien took away from the stark reality of Frodo’s failure.

TOLKIEN, 1957: "You will receive on Monday the copy of the ‘Story Line’ or synopsis of the proposed film version of The Lord of the Rings. I could not get it off yesterday. . . . . An abridgement by selection with some good picture-work would be pleasant, & perhaps worth a good deal in publicity; but the present script is rather a compression with resultant over-crowding and confusion, blurring of climaxes, and general degradation: a pull-back towards more conventional ‘fairy-stories’. People gallop about on Eagles at the least provocation; Lórien becomes a fairy-castle with ‘delicate minarets’, and all that sort of thing."

This final chapter of The Silmarillion is really something completely separate from the rest of the book: an Age-spanning synopsis of the events leading up to and including The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. With this chapter, Tolkien connects the legends of The Silmarillion with the events of The Lord of the Rings, and we learn a great deal of the historical background to Tolkien’s magnum opus. Join us!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from Christopher Tolkien's Foreword to The Silmarillion...

"[Akallabêth and Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age] are included according to my father’s explicit intention, and by their inclusion the entire history is set forth from the Music of the Ainur in which the world began to the passing of the Ringbearers from the Havens of Mithlond at the end of the Third Age."

With Morgoth having been finally defeated in the War of Wrath, the Men allied with the Elves of Beleriand are rewarded with an earthly paradise: the Island of Númenor. Yet over the course of a 3300 year history, the Men of Númenor tragically discover that the soul of Man desires things that the natural world cannot provide.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from The Waldman Letter (#131)...

"The Downfall is partly the result of an inner weakness in Men – consequent, if you will, upon the first Fall, repented but not finally healed. Reward on earth is more dangerous for men than punishment! The Fall is achieved by the cunning of Sauron in exploiting this weakness. Its central theme is (inevitably, I think, in a story of Men) a Ban, or Prohibition."

With Morgoth having crushed the great kingdoms of Beleriand, the remnant and hope of Middle-earth stands upon the edge of oblivion. It is the hour for the fulfillment of prophecy, and out of this peril heroic deeds shine forth!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from The Silmarillion Chapter 23...

Great was the sorrow of Eärendil and Elwing for the ruin of the havens of Sirion, and the captivity of their sons, and they feared that they would be slain; but it was not so. For Maglor took pity upon Elros and Elrond, and he cherished them, and love grew after between them, as little might be thought; but Maglor’s heart was sick and weary with the burden of the dreadful oath.

THE THREE ELVEN RINGS» https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Three_Rings

GOOD FANTASY VS. THE SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF

"What really happens is that the storymaker proves a successful ‘sub-creator’. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is ‘true’: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed." - On Fairy-stories

GOOD FANTASY VS. THE SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF

"What really happens is that the storymaker proves a successful ‘sub-creator’. He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is ‘true’: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed." - On Fairy-stories

With Nargothrond and Doriath both having fallen, and the Sons of Fëanor reduced to wretchedness, only Gondolin remains of the great Elven realms. But how long will Gondolin remain hidden, and, if it is discovered, can it withstand the onslaught of Angband’s fury?

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

from The Silmarillion Chapter 20...

The field was lost; but still Húrin and Huor and the remnant of the house of Haldor stood firm with Turgon of Gondolin, and the hosts of Morgoth could not yet win the Pass of Sirion. Then Húrin spoke to Turgon, saying: ‘Go now, lord, while time is! For in you lives the last hope of the Eldar, and while Gondolin stands Morgoth shall still know fear in his heart.’

But Turgon answered: ‘Not long now can Gondolin be hidden; and being discovered it must fall.’

Then Huor spoke and said: ‘Yet if it stands but a little while, then out of your house shall come the hope of Elves and Men. This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!’

After the devastating tragedies of Chapter 21, we get…more devastating tragedies! Chapter 22 picks up with Húrin, now old and worn out by Morgoth’s tortures. Set free to wander aimlessly in the wasted regions of Beleriand, he inadvertently sets in motion a series of events that will lead to end of the kingdom of Doriath, once the hidden heart of Beleriand’s free regions.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "And at the last Melian spoke, and said: ‘Húrin Thalion, Morgoth hath bewitched thee; for he that seeth through Morgoth’s eyes, willing or unwilling, seeth all things crooked." - Silmarillion Ch 22

The tale of Túrin Turambar is a long one, rivaling “Of Beren and Lúthien” and “Akallabêth” as the longest chapter in The Silmarillion. It is also quite tragic, as we shall see. After giving a bit of background on Túrin’s ancestry, it picks up where the last chapter left off, with Túrin’s father Húrin imprisoned in Angband. The chapter then focuses in on Túrin’s life.

Like “Of Beren and Lúthien”, this chapter summarizes one of the Great Tales of the First Age. In fact, many of you may already realize that The Children of Húrin is a novel length telling of this story! We look forward to a chapter-by-chapter discussion of The Children of Húrin in 2023.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » "Then Glaurung died, and the veil of his malice was taken from [Nienor], and she remembered all the days of her life. Looking down upon Túrin she cried: ‘Farewell, O twice beloved! A Túrin Turambar turun ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!’ " - Silmarillion Ch 21

Chapter 19 is the story of Beren and Lúthien, aka The Tale of Tinúviel, aka The Lay of Leíthian, aka one of the Great Tales of the First Age and the Seed of Middle-earth. Simply put, this is one of Tolkien’s greatest stories, a story that in many ways informs the entirety of the Middle-earth legendarium.

It is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts.’" - Lord of the Rings, Book 1, Chapter 11

In a previous video, which I've linked to in the notes below, I discussed what I hoped would be a path forward for the legendarium, guided by a Tolkien Estate which was unfailingly loyal JRR Tolkien's established work and vision.

Well, that was a few months ago, and I've been feeling far less optimistic as of late. In fact, I've realized that the Tolkienian idea of the long defeat may apply in all of this.

Chapter 11 gives us a moment to catch our breaths after the intense action of the last several chapters. It introduces a new epoch into the history of Middle-earth: the Years of the Sun and the Moon, and the barring of Valinor from the rest of the world.

In Chapter 11, we’ll:
- Catch up with the Valar
- Learn of the creation of the Sun and the Moon
- Consider Morgoth’s reaction to these new lights
- Learn how and why Valinor was hidden
And much more!

In Chapter 10, the perspective shifts from the Blessed Realm to Beleriand, where it will remain for the rest of The Silmarillion. We jump back to where we left Beleriand - at the point when the Vanyar, Noldor, and Teleri all departed, leaving behind some of their brethren, who become known as the Sindar, and take the Teleri Lord Elwë as their King, and the Maia Melian as their Queen.

In Chapter 10, we’ll learn:
- Of the Sindar, the brethren of the Teleri that remained behind in Beleriand.
- Of the creation of Menegroth, the grand palace of the Sindarin King Thingol
- Of the coming of the Dwarves to Beleriand
- Of the Nandorin Elves
- Of the return of Melkor to Middle-earth and the first great battle of Beleriand
- And much more!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.” - Chapter 10 of The Silmarillion

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Yavanna spoke before the Valar, saying: ‘The Light of the Trees has passed away, and lives now only in the Silmarils of Fëanor. Foresighted was he! Even for those who are mightiest under Ilúvatar there is some work that they may accomplish once, and once only. The Light of the Trees I brought into being, and within Eä I can do so never again. Yet had I but a little of that light I could recall life to the Trees, ere their roots decay; and then our hurt should be healed, and the malice of Melkor be confounded.’"

- Of Melkor’s Escape

In the legendarium of Middle-earth, Tolkien connects the gods of the ancient world with the God of biblical Christianity in a manner that, somehow, he intended to be acceptable to "a mind that believes in the Blessed Trinity." How can this be?

John is joined by Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick to discuss this question. Fr Andrew is the host of both Amon Sûl, a Tolkien podcast, as well as Lord of Spirits, which explores the seen and unseen world of the Bible.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » “As three great jewels they were in form. But not until the End, when Fëanor shall return who perished ere the Sun was made, and sits now in the Halls of Awaiting and comes no more among his kin; not until the Sun passes and the Moon falls, shall it be known of what substance they were made.”

In Chapter 7, we’ll learn:

- Of Fëanor’s creation of the Silmarils
- Of Melkor’s lust for the Silmarils & his insidious operations after his release from prison
- Of the conflict that arises from Melkor’s treacherous whisperings amongst the Noldor and Fëanor’s jealous guarding of the Silmarils

QUOTE OF THE WEEK » “As three great jewels they were in form. But not until the End, when Fëanor shall return who perished ere the Sun was made, and sits now in the Halls of Awaiting and comes no more among his kin; not until the Sun passes and the Moon falls, shall it be known of what substance they were made.”

In Chapter 7, we’ll learn:

- Of Fëanor’s creation of the Silmarils
- Of Melkor’s lust for the Silmarils & his insidious operations after his release from prison
- Of the conflict that arises from Melkor’s treacherous whisperings amongst the Noldor and Fëanor’s jealous guarding of the Silmarils

In simple terms, will the lore that the show creates be considered “authoritative” going forward?

This a PRESSING question, and things are going to get out of hand. In this video, I urge The Tolkien Estate to ACT to create its own office of lore to prevent abuses of the Middle-earth legendarium, and even to allow for "official" storytelling of a literary nature in the future.

'In the novels, the aforementioned things take place over thousands of years, but Payne and McKay have compressed events into a single point in time. It is their biggest deviation from the text, and they know it’s a big swing. “We talked with the Tolkien estate,” says Payne. “If you are true to the exact letter of the law, you are going to be telling a story in which your human characters are dying off every season because you’re jumping 200 years in time, and then you’re not meeting really big, important canon characters until season four. Look, there might be some fans who want us to do a documentary of Middle-earth, but we’re going to tell one story that unites all these things.”'

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “Tom Bombadil is not an important person – to the narrative. I suppose he has some importance as a ‘comment’. I mean, I do not really write like that: he is just an invention (. . .), and he represents something that I feel important, though I would not be prepared to analyze the feeling precisely. I would not, however, have left him in, if he did not have some kind of function.” - Tolkien, 1954 (Letter 144)

So you want to read The Silmarillion, eh?

If you have any interest in Middle-earth, it’s only natural. Especially for those who have completed The Lord of the Rings (no small feat in and of itself), it’s the most logical next step.

In episode 272 of The Tolkien Road Podcast, we kick off our Silmarillion re-read that will span the better part of 2022. Over the next several months, we'll be going chapter-by-chapter through Tolkien's saga of Middle-earth First Age.

If you're planning to watch LOTR on Prime, which premiers in September, this will be a great way to improve your knowledge of Middle-earth lore and history so that you can get the most out of that show.

By far, the biggest thing to happen to Tolkiendom in 2021 was The Nature of Middle-earth, the latest collection of previously unpublished Tolkien writings.

When we interviewed Carl Hostetter, the book's editor, back in August, we recorded a special bonus episode for our patrons, in which we got Carl's takes on topics including Peter Jackson's Middle-earth films, LOTR on Prime, Tolkien's Catholic Faith and the role it plays in Middle-earth, and controversy in the world of Tolkien Studies.

Carl has made an incredible contribution to Tolkien's legacy with The Nature of Middle-earth as well as his other work in Tolkien studies and lore, and we should all be open to what he has to say on these important topics! Join us!

So this one will feel a little experimental - not our normal open, and lots of banter with the patrons who joined us!

We had a lot of fun doing it, and it will certainly be the first of many to come.

It was mostly a pilot for the WISDOM app, which we kinda struggled with...hence, the title of this episode.

It’s an easy question to get lost in, and we have a lot of fun exploring it.

How can Tom have power over Old Man Willow?
