Truth Seeker User ID: 170894 United States 07/01/2007 11:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Tolkien at the End of Time; Alchemical Secrets of The Lord of the Rings. Introduction It seems a simple story. At first glance it appears to be nothing more than a very long fairy tale about good and evil. Peopled with Elves, Dwarves, Wizards, Monsters and more, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was not considered a great work of literature when it first appeared in 1954. Now it is hailed as the book of the 20th century. What is it about this book that caused it to be such a sensation? Why does it create such a warmth and resonance in the hearts of its readers? Our answer to these and other questions to be discussed in the course of this article is that Tolkien was aware of the hidden esoteric history of humanity and the powerful influence of the Great Work of Alchemy on European culture...

Right in the preface, Tolkien writes that his books are not allegory, that he despises allegory, and that he wished none would presume or claim that he used allegory. I shall believe the author, thank you.

So what - you are saying we should let the Orcs colonise the shires and build their Orc mosques there, with their Orc 'religion' of hate, terror and death. Oh - wait it's already happening, under the all-seeing eye of the NSA! and Orc master Obama.

Christ, is nothing sacred to you dot connecting tards? Couldn't this just be a WORK OF FICTION? Why does every fucking thing in pop culture have to have some stupid, dark esoteric meaning? I mean, you are the same people that believe Lady Gaga is some kinda prophet, disseminating gospel through her shitty, corporate filtered music. Just stop..

Real works of art go much further and beyond their creators, they have aspects that are unknown even to their creators. By the way, allegory is not the same as symbol. Tolkien's works are more than allegoric, they are symbolic.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43904301 Of course it's a work of fiction, but not of fantasy. Fantasy is like worthless Monopoly notes, Imaginary is like real notes backed by gold.
