“Art is a form of prayer … a way to enter into relationship.”Artist and theologian Bruce Herman reflects on the sacred vocation of making, resisting consumerism, and the divine invitation to become co-creators. From Mark Rothko to Rainer Maria Rilke, to Andres Serrano's “Piss Christ” and T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets, he comments on the holy risk of artmaking and the sacred fire of creative origination.Together with Evan Rosa, Bruce Herman explores the divine vocation of art making as resistance to consumer culture and passive living. In this deeply poetic and wide-ranging conversation—and drawing from his book *Makers by Nature—*he invites us into a vision of art not as individual genius or commodity, but as service, dialogue, and co-creation rooted in love, not fear. They touch on ancient questions of human identity and desire, the creative implications of being made in the image of God, Buber's I and Thou, the scandal of the cross, Eliot's divine fire, Rothko's melancholy ecstasy, and how even making a loaf of bread can be a form of holy protest. A profound reflection on what it means to be human, and how we might change our lives—through beauty, vulnerability, and relational making.Episode Highlights“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”“ I think hope is being stolen from us Surreptitiously moment by moment hour by hour day by day.”“There is no them. There is only us.”“The work itself has a life of its own.”“Art that serves a community.”“You must change your life.” —Rilke, recited by Bruce Herman in reflection on the transformative power of art.“When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.”“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”“Art is not for the artist—any more than it's for anyone else. The work stands apart. It has its own voice.”“We're not merely consumers—we're made by a Maker to be makers.”“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Topics and ThemesHuman beings are born to create and make meaningArt as theological dialogue and spiritual resistanceCreative practice as a form of love and worshipChristian art and culture in dialogue with contemporary issuesPassive consumption vs. active creationHow to engage with provocative art faithfullyThe role of beauty, mystery, and risk in the creative processArt that changes you spiritually, emotionally, and intellectuallyThe sacred vocation of the artist in a consumerist worldHow poetry and painting open up divine encounter, particularly in Rainer Maria Rilke's “Archaic Torso of Apollo”Four Quartets and spiritual longing in modern poetryHospitality, submission, and service as aesthetic posturesModern culture's sickness and art as medicineEncountering the cross through contemporary artistic imagination“Archaic Torso of Apollo”Rainer Maria Rilke 1875 –1926We cannot know his legendary head with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso is still suffused with brilliance from inside, like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low, gleams in all its power. Otherwise the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could a smile run through the placid hips and thighs to that dark center where procreation flared. Otherwise this stone would seem defaced beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur: would not, from all the borders of itself, burst like a star: for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life.About Bruce HermanBruce Herman is a painter, writer, educator, and speaker. His art has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions—nationally in many US cities, including New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston—and internationally in England, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Canada, and Israel. His artwork is featured in many public and private art collections including the Vatican Museum of Modern Religious Art in Rome; The Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts print collection; The Grunewald Print Collection of the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; DeCordova Museum in Boston; the Cape Ann Museum; and in many colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada.Herman taught at Gordon College for nearly four decades, and is the founding chair of the Art Department there. He held the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts for more than fifteen years, and continues to curate exhibitions and manage the College art collection there. Herman completed both BFA and MFA degrees at Boston University College of Fine Arts under American artists Philip Guston, James Weeks, David Aronson, Reed Kay, and Arthur Polonsky. He was named Boston University College of Fine Arts Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2006.Herman's art may be found in dozens of journals, popular magazines, newspapers, and online art features. He and co-author Walter Hansen wrote the book Through Your Eyes, 2013, Grand Rapids, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, a thirty-year retrospective of Herman's art as seen through the eyes of his most dedicated collector.To learn more, explore A Video Portrait of the Artist and My Process – An Essay by Bruce Herman.Books by Bruce Herman*Makers by Nature: Letters from a Master Painter on Faith, Hope, and Art* (2025) *Ordinary Saints (*2018) *Through Your Eyes: The Art of Bruce Herman (2013) *QU4RTETS with Makoto Fujimura, Bruce Herman, Christopher Theofanidis, Jeremy Begbie (2012) A Broken Beauty (2006)Show NotesBruce Herman on Human Identity as MakersWe are created in the image of God—the ultimate “I Am”—and thus made to create.“We are made by a Maker to be makers.”To deny our creative impulse is to risk a deep form of spiritual unhealth.Making is not just for the “artist”—everyone is born with the capacity to make.Theological Themes and Philosophical FrameworksInfluences include Martin Buber's “I and Thou,” René Girard's scapegoating theory, and the image of God in Genesis.“We don't really exist for ourselves. We exist in the space between us.”The divine invitation is relational, not autonomous.Desire, imitation, and submission form the core of our relational anthropology.Art as Resistance to Consumerism“We begin to enter into illness when we become mere consumers.”Art Versus PropagandaCulture is sickened by passive consumption, entertainment addiction, and aesthetic commodification.Making a loaf of bread, carving wood, or crafting a cocktail are acts of cultural resistance.Desire“Anything is resistance… Anything is a protest against passive consumption.”Art as Dialogue and Submission“Making art is a form of prayer. It's a form of entering into relationship.”Submission—though culturally maligned—is a necessary posture in love and art.Engaging with art requires openness to transformation.“If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it.”The Transformative Power of Encountering ArtQuoting Rilke's Archaic Torso of Apollo: “You must change your life.”True art sees the viewer and invites them to become something more.Herman's own transformative moment came unexpectedly in front of a Rothko painting.“The best part of my work is outside of my control.”Scandal, Offense, and the Cross in ArtAnalyzing Andres Serrano's Piss Christ as a sincere meditation on the commercialization of the cross.“Does the crucifixion still carry sacred weight—or has it been reduced to jewelry?”Art should provoke—but out of love, not self-aggrandizement or malice.“The cross is an offense. Paul says so. But it's the power of God for those being saved.”Beauty, Suffering, and Holy RiskEncounter with art can arise from personal or collective suffering.Bruce references Christian Wiman and Walker Percy as artists opened by pain.“Sometimes it takes catastrophe to open us up again.”Great art offers not escape, but transformation through vulnerability.The Fire and the Rose: T. S. Eliot's InfluenceFour Quartets shaped Herman's artistic and theological imagination.Eliot's poetry is contemplative, musical, liturgical, and steeped in paradox.“To be redeemed from fire by fire… when the fire and the rose are one.”The collaborative Quartets project with Makoto Fujimura and Chris Theofanidis honors Eliot's poetic vision.Living and Creating from Love, Not Fear“Make from love, not fear.”Fear-driven art (or politics) leads to manipulation and despair.Acts of love include cooking, serving, sharing, and creating for others.“The ultimate act of art is hospitality.”Media & Intellectual ReferencesMakers by Nature by Bruce HermanFour Quartets by T. S. EliotThe Archaic Torso of Apollo by Rainer Maria RilkeWassily Kandinsky, “On the Spiritual in Art”Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil PostmanThings Hidden Since the Foundation of the World by René GirardThe Art of the Commonplace by Wendell BerryAndres Serrano's Piss ChristMakoto Fujimura's Art and Collaboration

YÜZÜKLERİN EFENDİSİ – YÜZÜK KARDEŞLİĞİ – BÖLÜM 18 – LOTHLÓRIEN

Bruce Herman is a contemporary artist, writer, and speaker. His art has been shown in more than 150 exhibitions — nationally in many US cities, including New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston — and internationally in England, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Canada, and Israel. Bruce taught at Gordon College for nearly four decades, and is the founding chair of the Art Department there. He held the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts for more than fifteen years, and continues to curate exhibitions and manage the College art collection. In this episode Bruce talks with me about his current inspirations and the winding spiritual pilgrimage woven throughout his 51 years working as a master artist. Continuing our season theme of art and the urge for transcendence, Bruce shares his early experiences of psychedelics and the transformation that led him from Eastern mysticism to become a follower of Jesus.

Today I'm speaking with Johan de Meij, a Dutch composer and conductor who has been self-publishing his music ever since the premiere of his symphony number one, based on the Lord of the Rings, which premiered 35 years ago this month and catapulted him to fame within the world of wind orchestra music.  We had a fantastic conversation about Tolkien, creative orchestration, marketing compositions through unique titles, the history of wind orchestra music, what to do with success, and a host of other topics.  His music is distributed through Hal Leonard, and a new edition of the Symphony Number one will be released next month.

I menneskeriget Gondor har man også hørt om den magiske skov Lothlórien. Her lever den i myterne og i de ældste sanges vers, men det der fortælles er ikke just indbydende. Kun få undslipper skovens krogede fangarme og de der gør, kommer ikke helskindet ud. Men orkerne ånder vor følgeskab i ryggen og med Gandalfs fald står gruppen svækket tilbage. Så hvad andre muligheder har de end at fortsætte ind i den mægtige troldkvindes lukkede land. 

Dnešním výletem končí lorienské kapitoly a jako by se Tolkien snažil zdůraznit, že si máme užívat tu pohádku, dokud trvá. Čeká nás další hluboký nádech před skokem do vody a s ním hezky tematicky rozdávání dárků, nebude chybět hostina ani zpěv, zkrátka si se Společenstvem ještě trochu prodloužíme nedávné sváteční veselení. Tak rychle zpátky do Lothlórienu, než nám navždycky zmizí jen do vzpomínek.

Dnes nás čeká seznámení s jednou nezajímavějších a neslavnějších postav Středozemě vůbec. Galadriel i její manžel Celeborn získali v poslední době hodně pozornosti díky seriálu, takže se spolu podíváme, jak to s nimi bylo doopravdy. Kromě toho nahlédneme i trochu do budoucnosti a dozvíme se ještě o něco víc o členech Společenstva. Bude na to čas, protože v Lothlórienu během dnešního výletu strávíme celý měsíc.

V dnešním výletě nás čeká poměrně dramatický přesun, čímž tedy nemyslím kilometry. Od legendárního Zrcadlového jezera z trpasličích pověstí se ale dostaneme až k pahorku Cerin Amroth v srdci Zlatého lesa a pověsti Durinova lidu tak vystřídají zase ty elfské. A že je v Lothlórienu opravdu co vypravovat. Tak honem pojďme, ať jsme tam dřív než Glum. :)

In our first 'Queer Readings' episode, Leah, Grace, and Alicia dive deep into one of the most complex characters that Tolkien could never quite make up his mind about: Galadriel, Lady of Lothlórien. We dig deep into the lore to uncover the queer identity and relationships of the mightiest and fairest Elf in the Third Age, and get nerdy about language and gender roles.

En esta nueva aventura, nuestro equipo se sumerge en una de las aventuras más esperada del año. Tras la salida de la nueva serie The Rings of Power nuestro duo se une en la primera alianza para poder hacer frente a este proyecto de la compañía Amazon Prime de la obra del legendario J.R.R Tolkien. Una vez adentrados en el bosque de Lothlórien y avanzar por los desolados campos de Mordor, nos comentan sobre sus impresiones de los primeros dos episodios de la serie.

- Willkommen in Lothlórien!- Es werden immer weniger Gefährten. Die verbliebenen Acht sind nun unter der Führung von Aragorn auf dem Weg nach Lothlórien. Und wie der Name schon sagt, gehen wir in dieser Folge ein wenig auf den Elbenwald "Lothlórien" ein. Des Weiteren erzählt Max die interessante Geschichte, weshalb es zu dem großen Streit zwischen dem Volk der Zwerge und der Elben gekommen ist, welcher bis jetzt noch hin und wieder an die Oberfläche kommt. Und natürlich kommt es zu Abschweifungen und zu Film und Buch vergleichen.

Narra della partenza della Compagnia da Lothlórien. In un ultimo incontro, Galadriel colma di doni i viaggiatori: ad Aragorn ella dona una spilla d'argento a forma di aquila che incastona una grande pietra verde: dono per le future nozze con Arwen (di cui lei è la nonna); a Legolas un arco di Lórien; a Gimli, che, ormai perdutamente innamorato di lei osa chiederle un solo e semplice capello, ella concede graziosamente quanto richiestole (l'enorme valore simbolico di ciò si rivela tenendo presente che Galadriel concede volentieri questo dono a Gimli, un nano, mentre lo rifiutò più volte, molte ere prima, a Fëanor in persona); a Boromir dona una preziosa cintura; lo stesso a Merry e Pipino; a Sam una scatolina con polvere di Lórien, per concimare al suo ritorno a casa la terra della Contea, ed una corda elfica; e infine, a Frodo, una fiala d'acqua dello specchio, nel cui interno è stata catturata la luce della stella di Eärendil, la stella del vespro: essa dovrà servire al portatore dell'Anello per le ore più buie del suo viaggio. Prima della partenza, inoltre, gli elfi riforniscono la Compagnia di barche per la discesa lungo il fiume Anduin verso sud, di caldi e leggeri manti elfici, sorretti da spille a foggia di foglie di Mallorn (gli alberi di Lórien), manti in grado di mimetizzare tra i boschi e le pietre, e nell'oscurità della notte, coloro che li indossano, e di cibo: gallette di "pan di via" (Waybread) o lembas, in grado di sostenere per un intero giorno un robusto guerriero. Dopo un'amichevole banchetto, la Compagnia dell'Anello riprende così il suo viaggio, salutata dall'amicizia degli elfi e benedetta dall'amore di Dama Galadriel.

Prima della partenza, inoltre, gli elfi riforniscono la Compagnia di barche per la discesa lungo il fiume Anduin verso sud, di caldi e leggeri manti elfici, sorretti da spille a foggia di foglie di Mallorn (gli alberi di Lórien), manti in grado di mimetizzare tra i boschi e le pietre, e nell'oscurità della notte, coloro che li indossano, e di cibo: gallette di "pan di via" (Waybread) o lembas, in grado di sostenere per un intero giorno un robusto guerriero. Dopo un'amichevole banchetto, la Compagnia dell'Anello riprende così il suo viaggio, salutata dall'amicizia degli elfi e benedetta dall'amore di Dama Galadriel.

La Compagnia dell'Anello fa il suo ingresso nel cuore del reame elfico, a Caras Galadhon, una città di alberi immensi tra le cui fronde il popolo degli immortali ha costruito i suoi edifici (flats) e il palazzo reale della regina Galadriel e di sire Celeborn. Aragorn e i suoi compagni vengono accolti dalla benevolenza e dall'amore della dama, che è a conoscenza dei piani di Elrond e degli scopi che muovono i viaggiatori verso Mordor. Il potere della dama è nella sua capacità di leggere profondamente e inesorabilmente nel cuore dei suoi interlocutori; ed è così che ella avvince col fascino della sua bontà Gimli, riportando la pace tra elfi e nani, ma anche ferisce profondamente l'orgoglio di Boromir, costretto a confessare a sé stesso prima che a lei la brama che lo rode nei confronti dell'anello. Tuttavia l'ospitalità di Galadriel è colma di attenzione verso la fatica e il dolore dei suoi ospiti, che possono, sotto la sua protezione, riposare a lungo nella meravigliosa città immersa tra le foglie d'oro di Lothlórien. Nella malinconia del ricordo di Gandalf i viaggiatori trascorrono quasi un mese di riposo, finché, una sera, Galadriel convoca a sé Frodo e Sam. Ella conduce gli hobbit in una conca nel cui centro si erge una vasca che la dama si appresta a riempire con l'acqua di una cascatella che corre lì accanto. Sam e Frodo sono invitati a guardare nello specchio d'acqua della vasca: essa è come una finestra che si apre sul passato e sul futuro, ma ciò che mostra è indecifrabile. Entrambi gli hobbit vedono frammenti di cose che accadranno, ma di cui non comprendono appieno il significato (è così che Sam vede la futura rovina della Contea, e la morte apparente di Frodo; mentre a Frodo sembra di scorgere Gandalf lungo una strada notturna). All'ultimo, a Frodo appare l'occhio felino e infuocato di Sauron, evocato dall'anello e dal potere dello specchio. Egli comprende allora la durezza della lotta che Galadriel deve condurre ormai senza sosta contro il potere dell'occhio di Sauron, e in un impeto di generosa pietà offre alla regina degli elfi l'anello del potere. La tentazione dell'anello scuote il cuore di Galadriel, ma ella sa che il suo tremendo potere potrebbe corrompere anche il suo cuore e trasformarla in una terribile regina della notte. Ed è così che rifiuta l'offerta di Frodo e decide di rimanere Galadriel, e di accettare il destino di decadenza e di oblio che in un futuro ormai molto vicino colpirà tutto il suo popolo.

Volti alla fuga, gli otto superstiti della tragedia si accasciano ai confini di Moria, per piangere Gandalf e curare le ferite di Frodo. È così che la Compagnia scopre che, se questi ha potuto salvarsi dal micidiale colpo di lancia ricevuto, è stato per merito di una splendida cotta di Mithril (l'argentovero di Moria, il più prezioso e resistente dei metalli) che Bilbo gli ha regalato, un dono di regale valore, una vera assicurazione sulla vita nei pericoli della battaglia. Ma non c'è tempo per stupirsi e commentare l'accaduto: il viaggio deve proseguire, anche senza Gandalf. A poche miglia di distanza si stendono i boschi di Lórien, il misterioso reame degli elfi, in cui regna una dama dai grandi poteri. Legolas ed Aragorn esortano i loro amici ad avanzare senza paure sotto i primi alberi del bosco, sul far della notte, quando una voce intima loro di fermarsi. È Haldir, una guardia elfica posta di vedetta ai confini di Lothlórien: la legge impedisce a ogni estraneo di entrare nei confini del regno, ma anche se Aragorn e Legolas sembrano convincere la fedele sentinella a fare un'eccezione, la presenza del nano Gimli gli impedisce definitivamente di accontentare la Compagnia. Da tempi immemorabili, infatti, fin dai tempi delle guerre tra elfi e nani della prima era, non corre buon sangue tra le due stirpi, e sempre quando qualcuno dei loro rappresentanti si incontra, corrono parole grosse. Ma ordini giungono dal cuore del reame di far passare la Compagnia, ed è così che, seppur con l'accordo di far procedere tutti bendati, il viaggio riprende sotto le fronde degli alberi d'oro, nell'eterna primavera soleggiata e sognante di Lórien, nei luoghi stessi dove Aragorn e Arwen si incontrarono all'inizio della loro storia d'amore.

Today Chase & Josh close out The Fellowship of the Ring in it's entirety as we compare the second half of the novel (as well as the first chapter of The Two Towers) to the Extended Edition Part 2 film!   Tag along as we discuss some of the notable differences found between the movie and the book such as; The reforging of Elendil's sword and Aragorn taking it straight from Rivendell, who the Crebain report to, who manipulates the weather on the mountain Caradhras, the Fellowship being attacked by a pack of wolves prior to their trip into Moria, who it was that disturbs the lake before the mountain's entrance, which creature spears Frodo, how the company enters Lothlórien, the incorporation of a lead Uruk-hai, and an all out battle scene that we get to visually witness.   With The Riddikulus Crew notating the main differences that stood out to them individually, providing their thoughts on the second half of The Fellowship of the Ring, giving their takeaways on the first installment of the series as a whole and providing a numeric ranking score for both the novel and the film, stay tuned!   'At that moment there was a twang of bowstrings: several arrows whistled over them, and some fell among them.  One smote Frodo between the shoulders and he lurched forward with a cry, letting go his paddle: but the arrow fell back, foiled by his hidden coat of mail.  Another passed through Aragorn's hood; and a third stood fast in the gunwale of the second boat, close by Merry's hand.  Sam thought he could glimpse black figures running to and fro upon the long shingle-banks that lay under the eastern shore.  They seemed very near.'

Y yo hubiera dicho lo mismo, si hubierais ido en dirección opuesta. ¡No te arriesgues a extraviarse en los bosques de Laurelindórinan! Así es como lo llamaban los elfos, pero ahora han abreviado el nombre: Lothlórien lo llaman. Quizá tienen razón, quizás el bosque está decayendo, no creciendo. El Valle del Oro que Cantaba, así llamaban al país, en los tiempos de érase una vez. Ahora lo llaman Flor del Sueño.... Estamos de vuelta con una rapidez inusitada con un nuevo capítulo desde nuestro rincón del Bosque Viejo. Esta vez, presentamos el tercer episodio de análisis de los mazos preconstruidos que están por venir. En este episodio analizaremos en profundidad el mazo de Elfos de Lorien. Para un mejor seguimiento del podcast adjuntamos el listado del mazo a continuación por si queréis tenerlo a mano durante la escucha. www.susurrosdelbosqueviejo.com/index.php/kunena/spoilers/149-mazos-preconstruidos Sin más, pasamos a detallar que vais a encontrar en este episodio: 00:04:48 - Análisis del mazo Preconstruido Elfos de Lorien: Charlaremos de forma general sobre el contenido del mazo, su banquillo, puntos críticos, sus mecánicas, y combinaciones enfocándolo principalmente desde sus aspectos más básicos a más avanzados. 01:24:08 - Lore relacionado con el mazo: Pasaremos a hablar del mazo desde el punto de vista temático en la obra de Tolkien. 02:02:51 - Mejoras para el mazo: Charlaremos sobre las posibilidades de mejora que tiene el mazo en cuestión una vez analizados sus puntos fuertes y débiles. Esperamos que los oyentes disfruten tanto de este podcast como nosotros llevándolo a cabo. Y una vez más, sentíos libres de dar vuestras opiniones en los comentarios del episodio. Un abrazo!

Oh sure, we talk about some relatively obscure Silmarillion-based stuff in this episode, like the origin of the Light of Eärendil that Galadriel gives Frodo back in Lothlórien, and the legendary half-elven hero behind it. And of course, we check in with the Rohirrim as they make their way to Minas Tirith and talk about unsung hero of the book, Ghan Buri Ghan. But this ep is dominated by one thing: a giant damn spider. Shelob has arrived! So this is the Giant Spider Episode.

We take a trip into Lothlórien theme park, blindfolded and belligerent We delve into the forest and Tolkiens amazing legendarium including his amazing creation of several elven languages. However, it wouldn't be a Drunk Tolk episode without outrageous questions so on this episode we ask; What was Gimli's job in his hometown? How does Gollum walk and did the movies get it wrong? What can't Galadriel do Is Celeborn her Galadrielad? And are her elves trapped on all sides or just self-isolating (like Ross)?   Credits: Celtic Impulse Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   If you could be so kind as to review the pod, wherever you can, that would be awesome!

Returning to our ongoing conversations with Christian artists, Bruce Herman and Bobby Gross discuss the insights of modern art on the nature of God and the human condition. Much of the conversation centers on the work of Philip Guston. Many of Guston's works, including those mentioned by Bruce and Bobby, can be viewed here. Bruce Herman is a painter, speaker, and curator whose art has been shown nationally and internationally in Italy, England, Japan, and Hong Kong. His work is in many public collections, including the Vatican Museums in Rome, Cincinnati Museum of Fine Arts, and the Hammer Museum in L.A. His art and writings have been published in print and online journals. He holds the Lothlórien Distinguished Chair in Fine Arts at Gordon College. Bobby Gross is Vice President for Graduate and Faculty ministries at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Bobby is also the author of Living in the Christian Year: Time to Inhabit the Story of God (IVP, 2009). Bruce was part of the book launch events at Upper House for God in the Modern Wing: Viewing Art with Eyes of Faith, Cameron J. Anderson and G. Walter Hansen, eds. (Downers Grove, IL: IVP Academic, 2021). For video of Bruce's presentation at Upper House, see "Welcoming the Mysterious Stranger."
