How Many Castles In Middle-earth?
For screen readers [ Click to expand ] A six-panel comic in a cute Japanese chibi manga style follows Kael and Darvolo as they walk along a stone-paved road winding through a sunlit forest. Tall trees, wildflowers, moss-covered rocks, and patches of sunlight create a peaceful setting. Kael wears chain mail armor, a blue cloak, and carries a sword. Darvolo wears the elegant clothing of a wealthy merchant, including a feathered hat, embroidered robes, jewelry, and a decorative cloak. Their […]https://mytolkienlife.xenite.org/how-many-castles-in-middle-earth/

Q: Why Were J.R.R. Tolkien’s Works So Revolutionary?
ANSWER: I think people sometimes give J.R.R. Tolkien credit for inventing things he didn’t invent. Tolkien did not invent Elves, Dwarves, dragons, magic swords, enchanted rings, heroic quests, ancient kingdoms, or supernatural enemies. Other writers had created imaginary worlds before The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were published, and […]

Q: When Does A Tolkien Question Stop Being About Tolkien?
ANSWER: Through the years I receive occasional thoughtful opinions or responses to recent posts on this blog, where long-time readers feel I may have strayed beyond their expectations or – in some cases – comfort zones. Those two areas are not the same (in my eyes). There may be other, unseen boundaries I occasionally cross. Years ago, […]

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...
#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange
Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey
Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.
"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."

[caption id="attachment_16034" align="aligncenter" width="720"] The history of Arnor is complicated and challenging. Home of the original High Kings descended from Elendil, Arnor eventually declined into division and diminished royalty until Aragorn restored the House of Elendil. Why did the kingdom and its successor states fail? Here is an essay originally published on MERP.COM that explores […]

I added all of the Fellowship to a thrifted painting. There's a little Gollum hiding in the back.
