Socrates’ Mountain: The Quest for Knowledge in Khazad-dûm,Why the Balrog of Truth Burns So Good The exit exam is a flaming demon, and the shadows on the wall begin swinging axes when Plato’s inmates wander into Tolkien’s darkest mine…

What happens when Socratic inquiry meets the deep mines of Khazad-dûm? ⚒️📜

My latest piece explores the "Balrog of Truth" and why the descent into knowledge is often a trial by fire.

Minas Tirith’s Water Cycle: How Did They Manage Hydraulic Pressure in a Seven-Tiered City? (And Why the Ancient Pump Systems Feeding the White Tower Would Make Hobbits Jealous) The Numenoreans were out here making Roman engineers look like amateurs while the fountain in the Court of the Fountain kept playing.

Minas Tirith’s architecture is legendary, but how did it actually function? 🏰💧

From the heights of the Citadel to the drainage of the first level let's talk about the water cycle of Middle-earth.

Que esta empresa esté ayudando en un #genocidio, apoyando a un cuerpo paramilitar (ICE) y a una guerra por petróleo, pase, pero que su nombre utilice en vano un nombre que creó #Tolkien, por eso no paso.

Middle Earth-themed "book nook" on a shelf of Tolkien books.

I assembled my first "book nook." This one is Middle Earth-themed, and it now sits happily on one of my #Tolkien book shelves. It took me about 8 hours of work to assemble the kit, & I enjoyed every minute. Very sturdy wooden materials, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out!

Sauron’s real name was Mairon. Known as the Dark Lord Sauron, his mere presence was enough to influence all of Middle-earth, even if he did nothing at all. #Tolkien

The Tides Of Time, The Tides Of Fate, And The Power Of Song This paper studies the interaction of Song, Story, Time, and Fate in the context of the Elves' resistance to change by means of song and enchantment, specifically in Lothlórien until the arrival of the Fellowship of the Ring. Once Galadriel renounces the Ring and the resistance to change and the fading of the Elves, the mythic power of the Great Tales transforms the ability of Frodo and Sam to meet the fate that awaits them in Mordor.

Shameless electioneering department: Tom Hillman’s article about the faerian flow of time and song is up for a #Tolkien Society award. If you’re a voting member, please vote for Tom. scholar.valpo.edu/journaloftolkienresearch...
