It's just before dawn on the morning of 25 October, 3018 of the third age. The embers of the fires from the night before turn to ash. The stars dwindle, the waterfalls begin to crescendo with the energy of another day. A cloaked figure stands alone in deep contemplation. Gandalf the Grey - steeling himself for the council where the fate of many shall be decided. We meet Gandalf at this very moment and offer him a gift... a tarot reading, from our very own Molly. This episode was an experiment in trust, and well, it really paid off. This is a deep dive into Gandalf; Mithrandir, Tharkûn. We explore his story through a very potent half-Celtic Cross reading.

Our links: https://linktr.ee/lotradhome Welcome back to "A Drunk History of Middle-earth," the podcast where Chris and Rebecca continue their discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien's works as if explaining it to a drunk person. This episode is a reupload of their very first podcast episode, now with actual editing and noise reduction. They kick off their journey with The Fellowship of the Ring, starting with the first disc of the extended edition. As they share their thoughts on the film with their signature humor and insight, Chris and Rebecca get progressively drunker. Whiskey isn't a sensible drink for long discussions. From discussing the finer points of Maiar hierarchy to cracking jokes about hobbitussy, they bring an engaging and entertaining approach to their movie experience. So if you're a fan of Middle-earth or just looking for a fun way to experience the films, grab a drink and join Chris and Rebecca on their epic journey through the world of hobbits, wizards, and rings of power. Cheers!

He too dwelt in Lórien, but his ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and patience. Of Melian much is told in the Quenta Silmarillion. But of Olórin that tale does not speak; for though he loved the Elves, he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did not know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts. In later days he was the friend of all the Children of Ilúvatar, and took pity on their sorrows; and those who listened to him awoke from despair and put away the imaginations of darkness."

Découvrez le guide de l'investisseur crypto : https://cryptomaniaclub.fr/ Attirer le prochain milliard d'utilisateur sur la blockchain, voici l'objectif d'Elrond. C'est un peu l'objectif de tous les projets de crypto monnaies. Mais pour ce faire, il faut cumuler à la fois une solidité technique à toute épreuve et un marketing novateur et efficace. En ce sens, la blockchain Elrond est une des blockchain les plus abouties techniquement. A titre d'exemple pour montrer la puissance du réseau, sur le testnet, un pic à 263.000 transactions par seconde a été enregistré. Si la vitesse annoncée du réseau reste plus faible que celle de Solana, le réseau Elrond n'a lui pas encore subi de bug majeur depuis son lancement. Aussi, grâce au succès du lancement de Maiar et de la communication de l'équipe, la communauté Elrond n'en finit plus de grandir et c'est aujourd'hui plus de 330.000 personnes qui sont abonnées au compte Twitter du projet. La fin de l'année 2021 sera une des étapes majeures dans l'avancée du projet. Entre l'accueil de la DeFi et le développement d'applications et de projets sur l'écosystème, l'avenir s'annonce plutôt radieux pour ce projet européen. Dans la vidéo du jour, je vais commencer par un petit récapitulatif sur le projet Elrond, pour se rafraichir la mémoire sur le projet. Ensuite, je vous donnerai les dernières avancées du projets notamment dans la DeFi ainsi que les partenariats conclus sur les derniers mois.

Kyle and Dan, from The Babylon Bee, along with Jonathan Watson, from TheOneRing.Com where you can join a growing fellowship of Tolkien fans, get to one of their favorite chapters of The Lord of the Rings: In The House Of Tom Bombadil! Who the heck is this weird guy dancing and singing in the old forest? What did Tolkien say about who Tom is and what does he have to teach us? How is this detour in the old forest to Tom’s house essential to the story? Tom Bombadil is awesome and by the end of this episode, we think you’ll agree. Chapter 7 summary: The hobbits enter the house and seem to be enchanted by Goldberry. Frodo even bursts into song when he sees her. Frodo asks her who Tom Bombadil really is and she tells him that Tom is simply Tom: the master of wood, water and hill. He has no desire to own anything and he has no fear. Frodo asks Tom if he had heard their cry for help or if he had just happened to come by at the right time. Tom said that he had been expecting them. They eat and go to bed. The Hobbits all have nightmares, except Sam. Frodo dreams of man on a tower taken away by a large eagle and then black riders, Pippin is back in the willow tree, and Merry thinks he is about to be drowned.The next day it rains, so Tom begins to tell them stories. He tells them about the old forest and the trees like Old Man Willow. He warns them about the barrow downs and the spirits. The Hobbits lose track of time. Frodo once again tries to find out who Tom Bombadil is by asking him directly. Tom asks Frodo to show him the Ring. He is completely unconcerned about the ring or Sauron. He teaches them a rhyme to call him for help and tells them they must leave the next day. Topics Discussed Who the heck is Tom? "Tom was a paradoxical creature, one moment defeating ancient forces with hardly an effort, the next capering and singing nonsensical songs."  "Eldest, that's what I am... Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn... He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless - before the Dark Lord came from Outside." “He is Master of wood, water, and hill.” But he doesn’t own it! “That would be a burden,” says Goldberry. He also “just is as you have seen him” and is “not afraid.” Tom always seems preoccupied about his own business and seems to forget the needs of his guests. ‘Tom, Tom! your guests are tired, and you had near forgotten! Who the heck is Goldberry? She is full of joy and laughter and is described as “enthroned.” The paradox of Bombadil in that he is good but is not concerned with the shadow vs the Hobbits "you cannnot shut the world out forever" Kyle’s tweet thread about his favorite passage in Lord of the Rings: (though he reserves his right to say that a lot over the course of this show) Dan thinks it is odd that Tom just happens to have a feast set, four mattresses, four pairs of hobbit slippers, vessels of cold and hot water just waiting for the hobbits in the guest room. Tom says he was waiting for them.  “Farmer Maggot, whom he seemed to regard as a person of more importance than they had imagined. ‘There’s earth under his old feet, and clay on his fingers; wisdom in his bones, and both his eyes are open,’ said Tom. It was also clear that Tom had dealings with the Elves, and it seemed that in some fashion, news had reached him from Gildor concerning the flight of Frodo.” Our zeitgeist and its need for big, epic heroes, and its intolerance of quirkiness and things that are uncool. Whether the morning and evening of one day or of many days had passed Frodo could not tell. He did not feel either hungry or tired, only filled with wonder. ‘Who are you, Master?’ he asked. ‘Eh, what?’ said Tom sitting up, and his eyes glinting in the gloom. ‘Don’t you know my name yet? That’s the only answer. Tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless? But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that’s what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless – before the Dark Lord came from Outside.’ Tom holds up the superweapon of Sauron and laughs at it like it’s child’s play. And can even make it disappear??? Tom can see invisible Frodo? Some stuff from Silmarillion is mentioned like Valar and Maiar and hopefully the slides on the video help. Tom doesn’t fit any established category in Middle-Earth. Is Tom Bombadil right to be unconcerned with fighting evil?

Quer conhecer sobre mitos, lendas, folclore e muito mais? Acesse: mitografias.com.br. [Trilha sonora] Leonardo: Muito bem, ouvinte. Em mais um episódio do Papo Lendário sobre a mitologia tolkeniana, eu estou aqui com o Yamada... Juliano Yamada: Olá, vocês. Leonardo: ... e com a Nilda. Nilda: Olá, olá. Leonardo: A gente já falou sobre algumas obras, sobre algumas raças, sobre conceitos, mas acho que esse vai ser o primeiro episódio que faremos sobre um personagem específico da Terra Média. No caso, é sobre o elfo Fëanor. É um tema que a gente já tinha prometido, já tinham pedido e a gente estava enrolando aí para fazer. Então finalmente fizemos o episódio sobre o Fëanor. Nilda: Querendo ou não, a gente já falou um pouco sobre ele tanto no nosso episódio 112, sobre a Canção de Eru, a gente já estava mencionando-o um pouco, e tem os episódios 126, que é O Despertar dos Elfos, e o Papo Lendário 162, que é sobre Beren e Lúthien. Acabou falando sobre a origem dos elfos, como eles se dividem e tal, e no Beren e Lúthien é uma das consequências da história do Fëanor. Apesar que tem consequência na história dele que aparece até no Senhor dos Anéis, coisas e consequências da vida dele, do que ele fez e da principal obra dele, que foram as Silmarils. Juliano Yamada: Para se ter uma ideia, o Fëanor influenciou tanto que até pode-se dizer que a ideia da fabricação dos anéis surgiu indiretamente dele. Celebrimbor foi aprendiz dele. Ele foi quem fez os três grandes anéis dos elfos. Leonardo: Vamos localizar, antes de entrar nos detalhes do Fëanor, onde e quando que ele se encontra, principalmente porque é um elfo, então o quando deve ser algo bem extenso. Na cronologia desse mundo, quando ele teria vivido? Nilda: Ele nasceu antes do início da chamada Primeira Era e viveu um pouco no começo da chamada Primeira Era, sendo que, na contagem do tempo, a Primeira Era seria a primeira era após o surgimento do sol e da lua. Ele é mais velho que o sol e a lua também. Ele participou desse evento do surgimento do sol e da lua. Não participação direta dele, mas tem a ver com as guerras e com toda a vida dele. Aliás, é uma das coisas que foi difícil de fazer a pauta, porque boa parte da história do Fëanor se coloca com a história de todos os outros elfos, de todos os Valar e Maiar, que são os seres angelicais que tem - acabam se envolvendo nisso. Então, por exemplo, quando você pega a história dele para contar, no meio da história, você tem a história do Melkor,

Quer conhecer sobre mitos, lendas, folclore e muito mais? Acesse: mitografias.com.br. [Trilha sonora] Leonardo: Muito bem, ouvinte. Em mais um episódio do Papo Lendário sobre a mitologia tolkeniana, eu estou aqui com o Yamada... Juliano Yamada: Olá, vocês. Leonardo: ... e com a Nilda. Nilda: Olá, olá. Leonardo: A gente já falou sobre algumas obras, sobre algumas raças, sobre conceitos, mas acho que esse vai ser o primeiro episódio que faremos sobre um personagem específico da Terra Média. No caso, é sobre o elfo Fëanor. É um tema que a gente já tinha prometido, já tinham pedido e a gente estava enrolando aí para fazer. Então finalmente fizemos o episódio sobre o Fëanor. Nilda: Querendo ou não, a gente já falou um pouco sobre ele tanto no nosso episódio 112, sobre a Canção de Eru, a gente já estava mencionando-o um pouco, e tem os episódios 126, que é O Despertar dos Elfos, e o Papo Lendário 162, que é sobre Beren e Lúthien. Acabou falando sobre a origem dos elfos, como eles se dividem e tal, e no Beren e Lúthien é uma das consequências da história do Fëanor. Apesar que tem consequência na história dele que aparece até no Senhor dos Anéis, coisas e consequências da vida dele, do que ele fez e da principal obra dele, que foram as Silmarils. Juliano Yamada: Para se ter uma ideia, o Fëanor influenciou tanto que até pode-se dizer que a ideia da fabricação dos anéis surgiu indiretamente dele. Celebrimbor foi aprendiz dele. Ele foi quem fez os três grandes anéis dos elfos. Leonardo: Vamos localizar, antes de entrar nos detalhes do Fëanor, onde e quando que ele se encontra, principalmente porque é um elfo, então o quando deve ser algo bem extenso. Na cronologia desse mundo, quando ele teria vivido? Nilda: Ele nasceu antes do início da chamada Primeira Era e viveu um pouco no começo da chamada Primeira Era, sendo que, na contagem do tempo, a Primeira Era seria a primeira era após o surgimento do sol e da lua. Ele é mais velho que o sol e a lua também. Ele participou desse evento do surgimento do sol e da lua. Não participação direta dele, mas tem a ver com as guerras e com toda a vida dele. Aliás, é uma das coisas que foi difícil de fazer a pauta, porque boa parte da história do Fëanor se coloca com a história de todos os outros elfos, de todos os Valar e Maiar, que são os seres angelicais que tem - acabam se envolvendo nisso. Então, por exemplo, quando você pega a história dele para contar, no meio da história, você tem a história do Melkor,

In this discussion from our Great Eagles episode, we talk about the fact that wizards are immortal. It really isn’t clear in the Lord of the Rings, but a wizard isn’t just a guy that decided to class wizard on his character sheet. Gandalf seems like a guy that learned all the fire spells in the spell book. Sauron, who is called The Necromancer in The Hobbit, must have learned all the spells in the death spell book, right? Making rings, classing wizard vs. fire barbarian, and a brief discussion of the Powers of Arda (Valar and Maiar) are in this mini-episode. Please make and send us a character sheet for a balrog if you have some spare time. Not from MERP, though. Erica has all the books for that and there are balrog stat sheets in it. Get creative!

Today we will look at Tolkiens villain Sauron and then a comic book called I kill giants, finally we will look a great free audio book app. Plus stick around for the giveaway you can win.  ----more---- Soul of Sauron: Is anyone beyond redemption? That’s a question I thought of when I read a passage from of the Rings of power and the third age at the end of the Silmarillion about Sauron. Which we will get too in a minute but first let’s take a brief look at Saurons early origins. Sauron has far more history than what the LOTR films tell, and we will explore some of his history before the trilogy. Despite being the title character of The Lord of the Rings, Sauron is notable in that he never directly appears during the events of the trilogy. Nowhere is any detailed description given of what he looks like, other than in vague terms. He is one of the Maiar spirits originally named Mairon, meaning "the admirable, the same “race” as Gandalf, Saruman and Radagast. However he is by far the most powerful of Maiar spirits. Thousands of years before the events of the LOTR Sauron was corrupted to evil by Morgoth the brother of Manwe king of the Valar. Sauron liked order and perfection which made him the best candidate to be in charge of the army of Morgoth which included the Balrogs Orcs and Dragons to name a few. In The Silmarillion, Sauron is described as being a shape changer, and took many forms, including that of a serpent, a vampire, and a great wolf. After Morgoth's fall, Sauron appeared in fair form as "Annatar", the Lord of Gifts, and maintained this appearance until the Fall of Númenor, in which he was unable to ever take fair form ever again. The History of Middle-earth includes a passage vaguely describing how the Númenoreans saw him: "Upon that ship which was cast highest and stood dry upon a hill there was a man, but greater than any even of the race of Numenor in stature...And it seemed to men that Sauron was great; though they feared the light of his eyes. To many he appeared fair, to others terrible; but to some evil." In addition to his physical appearance, Sauron also apparently had an aura of incredible malevolence. A passage in The Silmarillion describes him as having a "dreadful presence," and daunting eyes. Furthermore, his mere presence could bend all but the strongest wills. Mentioning his eyes again …And some hold that this was not at first falsely done, but that Sauron in truth repented…, …Therefore when Eönwë departed he hid himself in Middle-earth; and he fell back into evil, for the bonds that Morgoth had laid upon him were very strong.” After the fall of Morgoth it is said in the Silmarillion, Sauron came before Eönwë who was a Maia serving Manwë, Eönwë was referred to as the "greatest of arms in Arda," meaning that he was the best with weapons. Sauron renounced his evil deeds, but it was not in Eonwe powers to forgive another Maia, he would have to petition to Manwe himself. Sauron was unwilling to do this. After the fall of Morgoth Sauron hit rock bottom and hid for centuries in Middle Earth. I found this fascinating, why? Because it shows a human side of Sauron and no one is beyond redemption. Tolkien gave us glimpse into the soul of Sauron. Even though Sauron ultimately chose to stay evil, for a brief moment he did consider the move to good. However he didn’t want to face judgement and rehabilitation Manwe would bestow upon him. Maybe because of his love for perfection he couldn’t face his own imperfection. Like I said for brief moment there could have been redemption. A glimpse at the world which could have been if Sauron would have repented. But this didn’t happen and the dark lord spend many millennia causing chaos and death try to force order upon middle earth. Regarding Sauron's personality, Tolkien had this to say from his letters:In my story Sauron represents as near an approach to the wholly evil will as is possible. He had gone the way of all tyrants: beginning well, at least on the level that while desiring to order all things according to his own wisdom he still at first considered the (economic) well-being of other inhabitants of the Earth. But he went further than human tyrants in pride and the lust for domination, being in origin an immortal (angelic) spirit. Sauron desired to be a God-King, and was held to be this by his servants, by a triple treachery: 1. Because of his admiration of Strength he had become a follower of Morgoth and fell with him down into the depths of evil, becoming his chief agent in Middle-earth. 2. when Morgoth was defeated by the Valar finally he forsook his allegiance; but out of fear only; he did not present himself to the Valar or sue for pardon, and remained in Middle-earth. 3. When he found how greatly his knowledge was admired by all other rational creatures and how easy it was to influence them, his pride became boundless.—J.R.R. Tolkien Among Sauron's chief powers were deception and disguise: he trick the elves into making the rings of power and he trick the Numenorians to take on the Valar There is more to Sauron that I haven’t touched on here, maybe another episode we can dive deeper. If you have watched the movies, but haven’t read the books I encourage you to do say if you don’t like to read try audio books, which leads to my next section With Amazon buying the rights to Tolkien literature I hope they explore each main character like Sauron and tell their stories. Maybe a 12 episode series on Sauron exploring his origin and early years. Up until the fall of Morgoth. Who would you like to see them do a series on?   Application Station: Hoopla is free at most public libraries. Sometimes it’s easier to listen, that’s why you are here now. With driving or running or working around the house audio is easier to help pass the time.Most public libraries give you access to these, the selection is mediocre IMO. Audible is going to give you a much bigger selection. Along with the audio books you also get access to ebooks and comic books too. This is how I found the Mark Milar Jupiter series. Avaiable for IOS and Android.   Comic Book Image comics I kill Giants comic book Barbara Thorson, a girl struggling with life by escaping into a fantasy life of magic and monsters. Released July 2008. Barbara is a confused girl dealing with trauma in her life. This causes her to be overly blunt with people in her life even people who want to be her friends. This may be a bit foreign to readers, but for me being around kids who have been traumatized I can understand the confusion, maybe you can too. However Barbara does have some witty comebacks to the mean people in her life and she’s obsessed with DND. At first it is difficult to tell if Barbara is out of touch with reality or not. She dresses weird with bunny ears. Many readers can relate as we all want to escape real lifes struggles and stress even if it’s only for a short time. However eventually you have to face them and you find out you find out you are stronger than you think. It’s a B/W comic book and the writer scribbled the entire story line in less than an hour on a yellow legal pad while his dad was going through physical therapy. To find the perfect giant the writer Joe Kelly asked Jim the artist for about 50 versions of giants before he settled on the one he wanted. The entire story is great, it shows as nerds we like escapism, and like Barbara we can be a bit snarky and crass.   Podcast shout out: Day Dream instruction Manual Eddie and company look at all things nerdy and not so nerdy.   Contest: We will be giving away a copy of the game Mintworks a cool game by five24labs.

Mucho se ha escrito sobre la obra del Maestro J.R.R. Tolkien. Conocido artífice de la trilogía del Señor de los anillos, El Hobbit, y el Silmarillion. Este último, por su estructura y consideraciones con respecto a la cosmogonía de la Tierra Media, ha sido ampliamente estudiado por los amantes de la teología, ya que se trata de un ejercicio brillante de evocación mitológica y cultural, según comentaba el propio Tolkien, el siempre había querido crear una nueva mitología, de forma artificiosa, pero exhaustiva y completa, en la que poder desplegar sus ideas sobre la tradición y los mitos de las islas británicas. Allí surgieron probablemnte los primeros textos del Sirmallion, las primeras historias y leyendas de La Tierra Media. Y es bastante probable que algunas de estas historias nacieron de las reuniones que solía frecuentar con sus amigos, también literatos, en el pub Eagle and Child de Oxford. A nosotros nos gusta imaginar a Tolkien rodeado de cervezas y hierbas de la tierra media, donde en compañía de escritores de la talla de C.S Lewis, durante largas conversaciones y retos de ingenio literario y fantástico, se narraban unos a otros los relatos que conformarían las primeras mitologías del Señor de los Anillos o las crónicas de Narnia. Esa base teórica fundacional en la que se compone la canción de los Ainur, y toda una colección de personajes y leyendas compilados durante largo tiempo hasta convertirse en una de las sagas fantásticas más admiradas y respetadas por lectores, escritores y críticos de todo el mundo. Uno de los relatos más curiosos del Silmarillion, destaca precisamente por no ser un relato al uso, en él, Tolkien perfila las características de los Valar, las Valier y los Maiar, y esboza el inicio de la confrontación que daría lugar a la primera gran guerra de la creación, con la aparición de los enemigos... Como en muchos otros relatos de la creación, religiones y mitologías de la historia, dos bandos se establecen en los entornos místicos de la Tierra Media, dos fuerzas que representan al bien y al mal, personajes que caen en las más terribles ambiciones y tentaciones, dioses y demonios que nos llevan a cuestionar el lugar de la humanidad en el mundo, su fragilidad y sometimiento a las fuerzas titánicas de la creación, su fuerza y determinación ante la desesperanza, y en toda esa marea de acontecimientos, incluso los más pequeños e inesperados aventureros, pueden jugar un papel trascendental... Así pues, acompáñennos amigos, conozcamos la naturaleza de los seres que dieron forma al mundo, los padres creadores de enanos, elfos, humanos, orcos y hobbits, escuchemos una vez más la música de los Ainur en brazos de la sutil melodía del Valaquenta.
