Tolkien fans! Get in here!

I don't do the Tolkien story, I do look for what parts are taken from their ancient folklore. The England folklore was where one of the kings' family married an Elves' bride, the Elves' being the same size as mankind. Long lives the Elves' lived, with magic or something. Pretty sure they were like man because they had children.

Now the ancient folklore of the Germanic people before Christians were heard of was the dragons. They took care of the dragons eggs and the dragons helped them. The male dragons did not fly only the females dragons did, they made the dragons leave when the monks and others told them the dragons were of the devil. Places like Sweden said they were just dumb, of course them believing in trolls were OK it seems, they made deals with the Trolls to get gold from the mountains. In Ireland in ancient times it was the Merman's and Mermen, one of the men of the family or a woman married in the line of Mermen. This being at times they turn back into the fishtail people and go back to the Sea, maybe this was really people coming from the sea with mermaids on their boats? Every country it seems to have little people, these are not Elves. They are the forests' little people, sometimes called brownies. Dwarfs are one of the names of these people from legends. They could disappear and had a temper if you cheated them, they helped people pick crops and do work, the if they lost their temper you might lose everything you had.

Makes one wonder where they came up with these legends or what was going on back then.

I think Tolkien used part of these legends in his books. He also was using the something else which was the power struggle going on back then and now, during his life and now. The more thing change the more they stay the same.

I forgot about him..... Dracoliche... did you make that up? I like it! Never heard Lich used that way before. I may use it in my novel. :)

LOTR gave me hope during some of the darkest parts of my life. Tolkien's legacy is more than a tale but a philosophy of living heroicly. It has definitely helped me to discern good from evil in this world and find hope where none is to be found.

When my true love passed. His family gave me all theTolkien things I had given him over the decades. Oh lands it was hard looking at all the things that had been bought in profound love. When my house is complete and I can start sorting it out, it’s going all over! Lol! I think it’ll be easier than seeing it all together in a box.
“ and long ago, they passed away into the forest singing sorrow less.

Once I heard about that Sir Tolkien had plans for Lotr sequel books.Not Silmarillion but something new
