    Lore of the Rings Interview » Why and How The Lord of the Rings is a "Religious and Catholic Work"
    Dec 21 2024

    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.

    Enjoy!

    0396 » REVIEW: The War of the Rohirrim » New Lord of the Rings Anime Film
    Dec 16 2024
    In The Tolkien Road Episode 396, we review The War of the Rohirrim, the newly released animated Middle-earth film from Executive Producer Peter Jackson!
    I have to be honest: the first 2 seasons of The Rings of Power were so painfully bad that I was not feeling enthusiastic about The War of the Rohirrim going into seeing it last night.
    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.
    We stayed away from the marketing and from others’ thoughts and opinions, hoping to go into it with as much fresh perspective as we could garner.
    So what did we think? Watch and find out!

As a Tolkien Purist, LOVE this

I LOVE it , this is clearly a True correction for Tolkien Purists to correct the awful Lore Butchering of TROP.
