The Power of Songs and Tales how do stories help us in real life?

Stories are a gift that can lift our heads to see beyond the dust we have to shuffle through here on earth. Stories give us courage we can tuck in our pockets to hold onto when life is hard. manymeetings.substack.com/p/songs-and-...

Frodo if he had become a Nazgûl

Here for all the HDM analysis!

Frodo's Choice on doing what's right even when we feel small and desperate

This week’s Tolkien Deep Dive is about a significant—but easily missed!—detail in the second chapter of The Lord of the Rings and its continued relevance to us today. #frodo #tolkien #lordoftherings

Excited for youuuu. I really think it’s such a well done adaptation.

Tolkien is for Everyone rings of power season 3 has been confirmed and what that means for the future of my tolkien spaces

“Tolkien wouldn’t want any of his characters black..” is a real comment I got last week when I expressed my excitement about S3 of The Rings of Power being officially confirmed.

Here’s my response: manymeetings.substack.com/p/tolkien-is...

Who is Tom Bombadil? the origins of the merry fellow and his wife

Hey dol! Merry dol! A new Tolkien Deep Dive over on substack today! 🪷👢👢🪷 #tolkien #tombombadil #lordoftherings

That’s the point of the original post. She was saying most people have missed what Tolkien intended and think ‘being a Hobbit’ only means staying home and being cosy and gardening.

You’re so welcome here. Tolkien is for everyone. ❤️

SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID

Under a Swift Sunrise What happened to Frodo after he sailed West?

This week's Tolkien Deep Dive is all about Frodo sailing West and the power of restorative beauty. I may or may not have cried when I found the illustration of Frodo included in this post. You may be interested in seeing it too! manymeetings.substack.com/p/under-a-sw...

YOU SAW FINROD?!

If you just want to view the post on my site, no. There’s a little ‘I’d like to read it first’ button you can tap to do that!

Yes! I referenced that in my substack post. It’s one of my favorite scenes ❤️

If you read the post I linked here, you’ll see that when I used the phrase “little known character” I was referring to neither Frodo nor Gandalf.

The Courage to Admit Fear how a little known character from The Lord of the Rings teaches us to have both empathy and bravery to combat darkness in whatever ways we can

May we, like Fredegar Bolger, ‘decide what to do with the time that is given us’. May we find ‘deeds within our measure’ whenever life asks it of us and—more importantly—have the courage to act upon them. #tolkien #lordoftherings

Right?! 😭

No, that was Frodo Baggins. This post is about what Bilbo did for Sam. ❤️

Tolkien fact of the day: Bilbo Baggins taught Samwise Gamgee how to read and left him some of the last of Smaug's treasure to help set up Sam’s new life with Rosie Cotton 🥹 #lordoftherings #tolkien #bilbobaggins #samwisegamgee

The Hobbit taught us that Dragons who hoard gold at the expense of the well being of others will have their undoing by even the smallest person. We're meant for more in this world, for good food, cheer, and a comfortable life.

I think it was the porosity of the platform. In the best and worst ways everyone (no matter how large or small your following) was susceptible to being called out or highlighted by the community. Everything is interconnected there and that affects how you show up on the app.

I’m sorry. This is all so sad. We’re still here! It’s just gonna look different now ❤️‍🩹

Happy birthday, friend! I hope it’s the most beautiful day. I appreciate you so much and so thankful our paths crossed. ❤️
