Palantir Premonitions (What's to come)
Hall of Fire Chat
My comrades Gandalf and Gamgee have recently returned
from an excursion to Rivendell. There they met with
Elrond to ponder at length an important topic, and they
were good enough to bring the gem back for us to discuss
as well:
What is the Nature of Magic in Middle-earth?
Throughout the history of Tolkien's world, the use of what
we call magic was a regular practice for both the side of
Good as well as Evil. Spells are woven and cast, swords
glow blue when enemies are close at hand, Sauron hurls
fire from Orthanc, Burt the Troll's handbag talks, rings
lend their wearers special abilities and powers... From
palantiri to the rods of the five wizards, what is it all about?
Elves don't prefer the word 'magic,' so what is it exactly?
In addition to this, we'll share our favorite magic moments.
What is yours: the mirror of Galadriel, Luthien casting her
spell on Morgoth, Bilbo's vanishing act, Gandalf encountering
the winged Nazgul, or perhaps something else?
Time: Saturday, July 8, 5:30 EDT [10:30 GMT]

Hall of Fire Chat
New Hall of Fire Topic Keeping Chatters Up Nights
Ok well maybe not... but here it goes!
Elves, Men, Death and Tolkien
In Tolkien's world, the contrast between the fate of Elves and
the fate of Humans is dramatic. Together we will explore the
differences and ponder the implications behind them. How
can death be a gift given to Men by Ilúvatar? Many people in
Western society would consider death to be more of a curse
then a blessing, yet Tolkien repeatedly refers to death as a 'gift'.
What is the nature of the fate of these two races? What can we
learn from their differences? How do their deaths reflect their
lives? These and other questions will be explored at our next
Hall of Fire chat.
