Disa’s Plea to the Rocks

put it back …

Congratulations to the amazing @teawithtolkien.com so excited for you and looking forward to reading this gift of a book. 💫💫

There was Mótsognir the mightiest made of all the dwarfs, and Durin next; many a likeness of men they made, the dwarfs in the earth, as Durin said. Nyi and Nithi Northri and Suthri, Austri and Vestri, Althjof, Dvalinn, Nar and Nain, Niping, Dain, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Nori, An and Onar, Óin, Mjothvitnir. Vigg and Gandalf, Vindalf, Thrainn, Thror and Thorin, Thekk, Lit and Vit, Nyr and Nyrath, now have I told - Regin and Rathsvith - the list aright. Fili, Kili, Fundin, Nali, Hepti, Vili, Hannar, Sviur, Billing, Bruni, Bildr and Buri, Frar, Hornbori, Fræg and Loni, Aurvang, Jari, Eikinskjaldi. Quotes from Dvergatal (Catalogue of dwarfs), in Vǫluspá, one of the poems of Poetic Edda.

A painting of Bilbo Baggins sitting in a fire-illuminated room in his house. He sits on a stool, his hand supporting his chin, as he listens to the Dwarves singing and playing musical instruments in front of him. Gandalf sits in front of Bilbo, smoking his pipe.

Some quotes from Dvergatal (Catalogue of Dwarfs), which listed the names of dwarfs in Völuspá, a poem in Poetic Edda, although this part is now often set aside from newer editions. Tolkien adopted some names for Gandalf and the Dwarves in Thorin's company.

Huge round-shaped golden maple against blue skies.

Painting of a large yellow tree in a beautiful green landscape. Many hobbits are standing and playing in the green grass around the tree.

Found my favourite autumnal tree I've come across on my walks so far! 🍂 It's absolutely huge and golden – I'm certainly glad I looked up. It reminds me of mallorn trees in autumn!

Also, the Quenya name for mellyrn, malinornë, is so beautiful. ♡

We are all for giving the meat and giving it raw 🤣

Prof. Mae is on point! ☺️

Really amazing and such a soothing vibe. I see how one can be moved to creativity and awe.

A lovely time by the pool of blue water at the halls of Aulë. It is said some of every tree that grows in middle earth grew here.

(Blausee, Switzerland)

Oh blessed Aulë, this is such a thoughtful gift, thank you. The sapling will be natured in our home and may you one day visit us and look upon it.

Dinner sounds lovely, we’ll be there.

Hello from Khazad-Dûm👋🏾 find enclosed a Mithril pin for your hair

the foolish things of the world that confound the wise 🤭

he would consider him too foolish to pay any mind 😅

Just wondering, Saruman had such contempt for Radagast the brown, do we know how he felt about Tom Bombadil?

it’s nasty business

Proof you won’t try on the one ring

Wishing you a good recovery Yvonne

noting what not to send you as a gift for the festive season ☺️

so much worse indeed

Therapist: in this session we will begin to dig deeper into …

Me: No. The Dwarves dug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm... shadow and flame.

Therapist: emotions, dig into emotions

Me: oooh ok

read this as “most consequential battles of middle earth” and I wanted to start digging and excited about a new thing to learn

One of the most consequential barriers of the Middle Ages….
