EL SILMARILLION: 12. DE LOS HOMBRES Voz narración: María Larralde Los Valar estaban ahora en paz detrás de sus montañas; y habiendo dado luz a la Tierra Media, la desatendieron durante mucho tiempo, y el señorío de Morgoth no era discutido, excepto por el valor de los Noldor. Quien más tenía en cuenta a los exiliados era Ulmo, que recogía nuevas de la Tierra desde todas las aguas. Desde este tiempo en adelante se contaron los Años del Sol. Más rápidos son y más breves que los largos Años de los Árboles de Valinor. En ese tiempo el aire de la Tierra Media se espesó con el aliento del crecimiento y la mortalidad, y el cambio y el envejecimiento de todas las cosas se apresuró con exceso; la vida rebosaba en las tierras y aguas en la Segunda Primavera de Arda, y los Eldar se incrementaron, y bajo el nuevo Sol, Beleriand lució verde y hermosa. Cuando por primera vez se elevó el Sol, los Hijos Menores de Ilúvatar despertaron en la tierra de Hildórien, en las regiones orientales de la Tierra Media; pero el primer Sol se elevó en el oeste, y los ojos de los hombres se abrieron vueltos hacia allí, y cuando anduvieron por la Tierra, hacia allí fueron casi siempre. Los Eldar llamaron a los Atani el Segundo Pueblo, pero también Hildor, los Seguidores, y muchos otros nombres: Apanónar los Nacidos Después, Engwar los Enfermizos, y Fírimar los Mortales; y además los llamaron los Usurpadores, los Forasteros y los Inescrutables, los Malditos, los de Mano Torpe, los Temerosos de la Noche y los Hijos del Sol. Poco se dice de los Hombres en estos cuentos, que se refieren a los Días Antiguos, antes del medro de los mortales y la mengua de los Elfos, salvo de esos Padres de los Hombres, los Atanatári, que en los primeros años del Sol y la Luna se mudaron al norte del mundo. Ningún Vala fue a Hildórien para guiar a los Hombres o llamarlos a Valinor; y los Hombres les han tenido siempre a los Valar más miedo que afecto, y no han comprendido los propósitos de los Poderes, pues les parecen ajenos y contrarios a la naturaleza del mundo. Ulmo, no obstante, pensó en ellos y apoyó el consejo y la voluntad de Manwë; y sus mensajeros a menudo llegaron a ellos por corrientes e inundaciones. Pero los Hombres no eran capaces entonces de manejar tales asuntos, y menos en esos días, antes de que se mezclaran con los Elfos. Por tanto, amaban las aguas y se les estrujaba el corazón, pero no comprendían los mensajes. No obstante, se dice que antes que transcurriera mucho tiempo, se toparon con los Elfos Oscuros en diversos sitios, y tuvieron amistad con ellos; y los Hombres, aún en la niñez, se convirtieron en los compañeros y los discípulos de este pueblo antiguo, vagabundos de la raza élfica que nunca tomaron el camino de Valinor, y que sólo habían oído noticias vagas de los Valar y no los conocían más que como un nombre distante.

EL SILMARILLION: 11. DEL SOL DE LA LUNA Y DEL OCULTAMIENTO DE VALINOR Se cuenta que después de la huida de Melkor, los Valar se quedaron largo tiempo inmóviles, sentados en los tronos del Anillo del Juicio; pero no estuvieron ociosos, como declaró Fëanor en la locura de su corazón. Porque los Valar pueden obrar muchas cosas con el pensamiento antes que con las manos, y hablar en silencio entre ellos. Así se mantuvieron en vela en la noche de Valinor, y fueron con el pensamiento más allá de Eä y llegaron hasta el Fin; no obstante, ni el poder ni la sabiduría amortiguaron el dolor y el conocimiento del mal que se manifestaría más tarde. Y no lamentaron más la muerte de los Árboles que la enajenación de Fëanor: de las obras de Melkor, una de las peores. Porque Fëanor, entre todos los Hijos de Ilúvatar, era el más poderoso, en cuerpo y mente, en valor, resistencia, belleza, comprensión, habilidad, fuerza y sutileza, y una llama resplandeciente ardía en él. Sólo Manwë alcanzaba a concebir en alguna medida las obras maravillosas que para gloria de Arda podría haber llevado a cabo en otras circunstancias. Y dijeron los Vanyar, que vigilaron junto con los Valar, que cuando los mensajeros comunicaron las respuestas de Fëanor a los heraldos, Manwë lloró y agachó la cabeza. Pero ante las últimas palabras de Fëanor: que cuando menos las proezas de los Noldor vivirían por siempre en canciones, levantó la cabeza como quien escucha una voz lejana y dijo: —¡Así sea! Caras se pagarán esas canciones, pero buena será la compra. Pues no hay otro precio. Así, pues, como Eru dijo, no antes de concebida llegará a Eä la belleza, y bueno será que haya habido mal. Sin embargo, Mandos dijo: —Con todo, seguirá siendo el mal. Fëanor no tardará mucho en comparecer ante mí. Pero cuando por fin los Valar se enteraron de que los Noldor habían abandonado realmente Aman y habían vuelto a la Tierra Media, se incorporaron y trabajaron en los remedios que habían pensado y que enderezarían los males de Melkor. Entonces Manwë les pidió a Yavanna y a Nienna que manifestaran todos sus poderes de crecimiento y curación, y ellas aplicaron esos poderes a los Árboles. Pero las lágrimas de Nienna de nada le valieron para curar sus propias y mortales heridas; y por un largo tiempo cantó Yavanna sola en las sombras. No obstante, aun cuando vacilara la esperanza y se quebrara la canción, Telperion dio por fin en una rama sin hojas una gran flor de plata, y Laurelin una fruta de oro. A éstas recogió Yavanna; y entonces los Árboles murieron, y los troncos sin vida se levantan todavía en Valinor, como en memoria de las alegrías de antaño. Pero la flor y la fruta las dio Yavanna a Aulë, y Manwë las consagró, y el pueblo de Aulë construyó las naves que las llevarían y preservarían el esplendor de aquellos dones, como se cuenta en la Narsilion, la Canción del Sol y la Luna. Los Valar dieron estas naves a Varda para que se convirtieran en lámparas del cielo, con un fulgor mayor que el de las estrellas por estar más cerca de Arda; y ella les otorgó el poder de trasladarse por las regiones inferiores de limen, y las hizo viajar en cursos establecidos sobre el cinturón de la Tierra, desde el oeste hacia el este y de vuelta. Estas cosas hicieron los Valar, recordando en el crepúsculo la oscuridad de las tierras de Arda; y resolvieron entonces iluminar la Tierra Media, y estorbar con luz las acciones de Melkor. Porque se acordaron de los Avari que habían permanecido junto a las aguas en que despertaron, y no querían abandonar por completo a los Noldor en exilio; y Manwë sabía también que se acercaba la hora de los Hombres. Y se dice que así como los Valar le hicieron la guerra a Melkor por el bien de los Quendi, así ahora la evitaban por el bien de los Hildor, los Nacidos Después, los Hijos Menores de Ilúvatar. Porque tan graves habían sido las heridas abiertas en la Tierra Media durante la guerra contra Utumno, que los Valar temían que aún ocurriera algo peor; por cuanto los Hildor serían gente mortal, y menos aptos que los Quendi para enfrentar el temor y los tumultos. Además, no le estaba revelado a Manwë dónde aparecerían los Hombres: al norte, al sur o al este. Por tanto, los Valar lanzaron la luz, pero fortalecieron la tierra en que morarían los Hombres.

EL SILMARILLION: CAPÍTULO 9 DE LA HUIDA DE LOS NOLDOR VOZ: MARÍA LARRALDE Al cabo de un tiempo una gran concurrencia se reunió en el Anillo del Juicio; y los Valar se sentaron en la sombra, porque era de noche. Pero las estrellas de Varda brillaban en lo alto y el aire estaba claro; pues los vientos de Manwë habían barrido los vapores de muerte y habían devuelto las sombras al mar. Entonces Yavanna se incorporó y se irguió sobre Ezellohar, el Montículo Verde, pero estaba desnudo ahora, y negro; y puso las manos sobre los árboles, pero éstos estaban muertos y oscuros, y cada rama que tocaba se quebraba y caía marchita a sus pies. Entonces muchas voces se alzaron en lamentaciones; y les pareció a los que se apesadumbraban que habían bebido hasta las heces la copa de dolor que Melkor había escanciado para ellos. Pero no era así. Yavanna habló ante los Valar, diciendo: —La Luz de los Árboles se ha ido, y ahora vive sólo en los Silmarils de Fëanor. ¡Previsor ha sido! Aun para los más poderosos bajo la égida de Ilúvatar hay una obra que sólo pueden llevar a cabo una única vez. Di ser a la Luz de los Árboles, y en los confines de Eä nunca más podré hacerlo. Sin embargo, si yo dispusiese de un poco de esa luz, podría devolver la vida a los Árboles antes de que las raíces se corrompieran; y entonces nuestras heridas tendrían remedio, y la malicia de Melkor quedaría confundida. Entonces intervino Manwë y dijo: —¿Oyes, Fëanor hijo de Finwë, las palabras de Yavanna? ¿Concederás lo que pide? Hubo un largo silencio, pero Fëanor no respondió. Tulkas gritó entonces: — ¡Di, oh, Noldo, sí o no! Pero ¿quién ha de negarse a Yavanna? Y ¿no vino de su obra en un principio la luz de los Silmarils? Pero Aulë el Hacedor dijo: —¡No tengas prisa! Pedimos algo más grande que nada que tú conozcas. Concédele paz por un instante. Pero Fëanor habló entonces y gritó amargamente: —Para los pequeños, como para los mayores, hay siempre algo que sólo pueden hacer una vez; y luego el corazón ha de reposar. Puede que sea posible abrir mis joyas, pero nunca otra vez haré otras parecidas; y si he de romperlas, se me romperá el corazón y moriré; el primero de entre todos los El—dar en Aman. —No el primero —dijo Mandos, pero nadie entendió estas palabras; y una vez más hubo silencio mientras Fëanor meditaba en la oscuridad. Le parecía estar engarzado en un anillo de enemigos, y le volvieron a Ya memoria las palabras de Melkor: los Silmarils no estarían seguros en manos de los Valar. "¿Y no es él Vala como ellos?" le decía el corazón. "¿Y no entiende acaso lo que ellos sienten? ¡Sí, es un ladrón el que delata a los ladrones!" Entonces vociferó: —No lo haré de propia voluntad. Pero si los Valar me obligan, sabré entonces con seguridad que Melkor es como ellos. Entonces Mandos dijo: —Has hablado—. Y Nienna se puso en pie y fue a Ezellohar, y echó atrás la capucha gris y lavó con lágrimas las inmundicias de Úngoliant; y cantó doliéndose de la amargura del mundo y la Injuria de Arda. Pero mientras Nienna aún se lamentaba, llegaron mensajeros de Fórmenos, y eran gente de los Noldor que traían nuevas de infortunio. Porque contaron cómo una ciega Oscuridad había avanzado hacia el norte, y en medio de ella se movía cierto poder para el que no había nombre, y la Oscuridad salía de él mismo. Pero Melkor también estaba allí, y fue a la casa de Fëanor, y mató a Finwë, Rey de los Noldor, delante de las puertas, y derramó la primera sangre en el Reino Bendecido; porque sólo Finwë no había huido del horror de lo Oscuro. Y contaron que Melkor había quebrantado la fortaleza de Fórmenos y se había apoderado de todas las joyas de los Noldor que allí estaban guardadas; y los Silmarils habían desaparecido.

Ahora los Tres Pueblos de los Eldar estaban reunidos por fin en Valinor, y Melkor había sido encadenado. Era éste el Mediodía del Reino Bendecido, en la plenitud de su gloria y bienaventuranza, larga en cómputo de años, pero demasiado breve en el recuerdo. En esos días los Eldar alcanzaron la plena madurez de cuerpo y mente, y los Noldor continuaron progresando en habilidades y conocimientos; y pasaban los largos años entretenidos en gozosos trabajos de los que nacieron muchas cosas nuevas, hermosas y maravillosas. Ocurrió en ese entonces que los Noldor concibieron por vez primera las letras, y el maestro Rúmil de Tirion fue el primero en idear unos signos adecuados para el registro del discurso y las canciones; algunos para ser grabados en metal o en piedra, otros para ser dibujados con pluma o pincel. En ese tiempo nació en Eldamar, en la morada del Rey de Tirion, en la cima de Tuna, el mayor de los hijos de Finwë, y el más amado. Curufinwë fue su nombre, pero su madre lo llamó Fëanor, Espíritu de Fuego; y así se lo recuerda en todos los cuentos de los Noldor. Míriel fue el nombre de su madre, a quien llamaban Serindë, por su suprema habilidad en el tejido y el bordado; pues no había manos más diestras que las de ella entre todos los Noldor. El amor entre Finwë y Míriel era grande y dichoso, porque empezó en el Reino Bendecido en los Días de Bienaventuranza. Pero el alumbramiento del hijo consumió el espíritu Y el cuerpo de Míriel; que deseó entonces librarse de los cuidados de la vida. Y después de darle nombre, le dijo a Finwë: —Nunca volveré a concebir un hijo; porque la fuerza que habría nutrido a muchos se ha agotado toda en Fëanor. Se apenó entonces Finwë, porque los Noldor estaban en la juventud de sus días y él deseaba traer muchos hijos a la beatitud de Aman; y dijo: —Sin duda hay cura en Aman. Aquí toda fatiga encuentra reposo—. Pero como Míriel continuaba languideciendo, Finwë buscó el consejo de Manwë, y Manwë la entregó a los cuidados de Irmo, en Lorien. Cuando se despidieron (por corto tiempo, creyó él), Finwë estaba triste, porque le parecía una desdicha que la madre tuviera que partir y no acompañara a su hijo al menos en los primeros días de infancia. —Es por cierto una desdicha —dijo Míriel—, y lloraría si no estuviera tan cansada. Pero considérame inocente en esto y en todo lo que pueda acaecer en adelante. Fue entonces a los jardines de Lorien y se tendió a dormir; pero aunque parecía dormida, en verdad el espíritu se le separó del cuerpo, y se trasladó en silencio a las estancias de Mandos. Las doncellas de Esté cuidaron del cuerpo de Míriel, que permaneció incorrupto; pero ella ya no volvió. Entonces Finwë vivió atormentado; y fue a menudo a los jardines de Lorien, y sentado bajo los sauces de plata junto al cuerpo de Míriel, la llamaba por todos los nombres que ella tenía, pero siempre en vano; y en todo el Reino Bendecido sólo Finwë no tenía alegría alguna. Al cabo de un tiempo, ya no volvió a Lorien. VOZ: MARÍA LARRALDE

#guidedmeditation #newmoonmeditation #december #newmoon #meditation #meditate Welcome to the last New Moon of the Year! Every new moon, The Moon starts a new cycle. As we emulate the cosmos, so do we! The December Super New Moon is the 2nd of 5 New Moons; all in 1 degree of their astrological sign. Meaning we are all cosmically going through cycles of brand new chapters personally and collectively. Only when a chapter ends can a new one begin. New Moons are also designed to supercharge our manifesting and this being a Super Moon it's even more powerful to help us activate our intentions. This final new moon of the year is the turning point of our divine intentions. Our words are spells and we have the power to create our lives with every beat of our hearts. With every word, thought, dream and emotion. The December Super New Moon is here, waiting for our intentions. The December Super New Moon is connected to a nurturing Earth Element; the astrological sign Capricorn. Which gently helps us ground into our inner and outer selves. Reminding us that each one of us has a special place within the Universe and on planet Earth. Our footprint is so very important whether we are aware of it or not. The dwarf planet Manwë, is active with the December New Moon. Manwë is said to be the Highest ArchAngel closest to Source Energy. He and his partner Varda are said to have birthed the Universe! Manwë can provide us the grace that cancels out karma for all lifetimes, ancestral & genetic lines. Essentially readjusting quantum law to match the new vibration here on Earth and within ourselves. This is the ultimate renewal energy. Manwë is guiding us towards new beginnings of renewal; within ourselves and also the worlds renewal. Helping us to move from the darkness and into the light. Beyond the dimensions of time and space. Within this meditation, I'll guide you to clear old karma from this past year, lifetime and within your ancestral and genetic lines.

Jared, Oriana and Ned talk about Jared's choice of topic: the Valar. For a legendarium that is clearly monotheistic at base, down to the opening lines of The Silmarillion essentially being a variant of the Book of Genesis, Tolkien's creation – and account of creation – has a class of similarly immortal beings present from the beginning as well, and while you can call them a version of angels, in many ways they are absolutely not like such beings as theologically understood. Indeed, for all that they are termed as ‘the Powers' in Arda, much of what we know about them seems to derive from the limits of their power or their inability to comprehend deeper truths – a question that Tolkien himself felt needed explaining at a certain point. What does it say that Varda aka Elbereth is regarded by the Elves with more reverence and love than her partner Manwë? Why is it that beings with an essentially plastic form of existence, not bound by physical form, take on certain specific forms and identities even before the Children of Ilúvatar first awoke in Middle-earth? Is there something to be said for the fact that so much of what the Valar do over time turns more and more into outsourcing of a kind? What's with the moment of bemusing domestic snark between Aüle and Yavanna like it's a sitcom? And – separate from all this, but it took up half the episode – what do the three of us think about all the news and trailer and more about a certain Amazon series that finally dropped?

The Silmarillion: Evil, Friendship, and the Power of Words

AVALON

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 23, 2021 96:47

This episode is a recording of a talk I gave recently on JRR Tolkien's "Silmarillion". Begun even before the Great War, this work was considered by Tolkien to be the work the closest to his heart; his magnum opus. Yet the work wasn't even published until 1977, four years after Tolkien's death. Why is it a significant work? Would it be significant without the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings? What is Tolkien saying about the nature of evil? Hope? Friendship? and the power of words to convey a vision of the world? The Oath of the Silmarils, as given in Morgoth's Ring: “Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean Brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, Neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, Dread nor danger, not Doom itself Shall defend him from Fëanáro, and Fëanáro's kin, Whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, Finding keepeth or afar casteth A Silmaril. This swear we all… Death we will deal him ere Day's ending, Woe unto world's end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth… On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!" Thus spoke Maedhros and Maglor and Celegorm, Curufin and Caranthir, Amrod and Amras, princes of the Noldor; and many quailed to hear the dread words. The inscription inside the Ring of Power: "Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." — The Lord of the Rings Hail, Earendil! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3wuI-bOSo8

The wife of one of the three original Elves in the legendarium, she herself is not an elf but a Maia, one of the divine figures in that universe. So what exactly does that make her? An emo kid with a fondness for dark forests? An alien figure looking around at all the Children of Iluvatar that surround her? Or does she really just like nightingales a lot?

In this episode, we talk about the Istari, perhaps better known as the wizards! That's right, we're talking about Gandalf, Saruman, Radagast, and yes, a couple more. Who are they? Why are they in Middle-Earth? What about Sauron, does he count? In other news, Dan defends Peter Jackson. Kind of. He can't believe it either. In other other news, there are going to be 3 episodes on the Istari because we talked so much about it. Enjoy! 1:26 What’s an Istari? Who are they? How were they chosen? 1:37 They appeared in Middle the third age when Sauron arrived in Mirkwood 1:58 The Valar decided to get off their butts and do something. 2:15 Manwë called everyone together to decide who to send. 2:23 Aulë knows a guy Curunír (Curumo/Saruman) 3:00 Yavanna sends a chaperone… Radagast! 3:50 Aulë is out of control! 4:18 Entwives are the chaperones of the chaperones? 4:41 Yavanna doesn’t trust Aulë’s servants… Can you blame her? 4:55 Saruman got caught up in creating stuff and Radagast got so distracted by nature that he just gave up. 5:15 Curunír is “the one of cunning devices” in Sindarin, Curumo is his Quenya name and Saruman is “man of skill” in the languages of men. Radagast/Aiwendil is Lover of birds… he sure is. 7:51 Saruman resents his boss’ wife sending a lame babysitter. 8:42 The three other Istari, starting with Alatar and Pallando 9:11 Pallando’s finger guns - Erica was actually doing finger guns right then. You can’t see it but it’s awesome! 9:25 Making up definitions for Alatar and Pallando’s names. In Elvish, Palan means afar, like the palantir, that which sees afar. -Do is a masculine suffix, so Pallando is Afarman. Tar is a modifier meaning lord and ala is a verb that means to grow or to plant. So Alatar is Growlord? 10:05 Alatar and Pallando are the blue istari 10:37 Saruman is the head of the order, Alatar is next most powerful and they both brought someone. 11:28 Manwë was looking for Olórin because he’s the wisest. 11:37 Lórien vs Lothlórien 12:08 Willow reference! 12:23 Shut up Dan! 12:26 Lórien/Irmo Dreams and visions 12:48 Olórin = true/clear vision/dream 13:04 Spoiler alert! Olórin is Gandalf 13:19 Gandalf fears Sauron and doesn’t think he can help. He’s afraid of him. 13:50 3 istari or 5? 14:05 Hey Varda, is Gandalf 5th, 3rd, or 1st? 14:20 Judging Saruman and putting words in his mouth. 14:55 Varda/Elbereth is the queen of stars 15:43 What are Istari? - maia, spirits that can take form 16:15 Could a balrog look Elvish? Corruption, evil things lose their ability to hide their true form. The way Morgoth and Sauron did. 16:33 Balrogs are spirits of fire and death, what do you want from them? Nothing. We want nothing more from balrogs. They are cool. 17:00 Maia hanging out. Erica says they weren’t Istari before they were chosen. That’s not really true and we will come back to it in a later part of this episode. Istari is a type of maia. 17:36 Why are Istari? 17:50 Vala council 17:59 Manwë decides to send emissaries because Sauron is out of control. 18:37 Avatars vs. emissaries. Not, like, in an epic fight or anything, just the distinction. 19:03 Bang! Out of the canon! Talkin’ bout Unfinished Tales! 19:20 What’s an avatar? Not an Istari, I can tell ya that! 19:40 More about emissaries. 20:00 Erica did her research this time! But she still hasn’t read Norse mythology. More on that later… 20:10 We

The Soul of Sauron

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.
