Video - https://youtu.be/7ojAnjMGWvcProfessor Rachel Fulton Brown joins InnerVerse to talk Tolkien! In this lively discussion we explore Tolkien's mytho-mystic Christian convictions as allegorized in his great works, the Lord of the Rings and its massive legendarium. Topics include the Logos, Eros, the Gods & planets, and the purpose of evil and dissonance. What does it mean to be a creator in a created world? In the Plus+ Extension, we examine world mountain and axis mundi symbolism, Earendil and Anglo Saxon literature, strategic philology, the unfinished sequel to the LOTR story, why civilizations fall, and the mystery of cryptid creatures and alternate humanoids of folklore. Subscribe to get the 2nd half of this Episode with InnerVerse Plus+ on Rokfin and Patreon!https://rokfin.com/stream/35751https://www.patreon.com/posts/84752280 EPISODE LINKSDraco Alchemicus - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rachelfultonbrown/draco-alchemicushttps://fencingbearatprayer.blogspot.com/https://dragoncommonroom.com/Featured Music - "Northern Gate" by VOLO - https://www.volovibes.comhttps://www.innerversepodcast.com/season-9/rachel-fulton-brown-tolkien TELEGRAMhttps://t.me/innerversepodcasthttps://t.me/innerversepodcastchat GET TUNEDhttps://www.innerversepodcast.com/sound-healing SUPPORT INNERVERSE https://www.innerversemerch.comTippecanoe Herbs - Use INNERVERSE code - https://tippecanoeherbs.com/July's End - https://tinyurl.com/2dhsarasA Godsacre For Winds of the Soul - https://tinyurl.com/2p9xpdn3The Holy Sailors - https://tinyurl.com/4wyd5ecsClive de Carle - https://clivedecarle.ositracker.com/197164/11489Aquacure AC50 (Use "innerverse" as a coupon code) - https://eagle-research.com/product/ac50TT Intro theme by Conspiracy Music Guru Hosted on Acast.
