Music
(Preview)
My first post/question. Does anyone know if any of the poems in any/all of the books have been set to music. And I don't mean the music in the movies (I love the Rankin/Bass songs) but real sheet music that I can buy and plunk out on the piano. I'd love to see the Lay of Luthien in music form as well as many of th...

What would you bring from Tolkien's world into ours?
(Preview)
All, Since 1968 I have been a Tolkien fan. Back then psychedelic posters, black lights, and hippies vowed to change the world with peace, love, and "dropping out" of the "Establishment." A person was to move back to the land and live more in harmony with nature. Yeah! Right! Of...

Her hands came together in front of her and formed a soft triangle. She exhaled. The room around her was open but small. She saw it clearly. Her left foot rested lightly on the inside of her right calf and she exhaled until her lungs were flat. She knew they were flat because she could feel them as w...

A call for help from all Tolkienites! Searching for rare LOTR image!
(Preview)
Sorry to be dramatic with the subject line. I'm really looking for help with a very hard-to-find image. When I was in junior high or high school, I remember seeing an image that was definitely related to the Tolkien universe. The image was in a circle. The art was very antiquated looking, sort of like th...

Personal Favorites...Quotes and/or Characters from Tolkien Books, Poems, or Films

All, I have noticed from time to time that the Forums can get a little slow. With the state of our world I can understand that other things take a higher priority. And they should... We aren't Hobbits even if we would like to be... We aren't wizards who can wave our staffs and magic away our difficulties.....

Tolkien and Celtic lore
(Preview)
What kind of lore inspired Tolkien? This may just be a "what if" thing. But here goes. When writing about the underground dwellings of the Sindar namely Thingol and Thranduil. And the hidden city of Gondolin....could it be that Celtic lore on the Sidhe had any influence?
