An Esoteric Understanding of Tolkien’s Literature

«An Esoteric Understanding of Tolkien’s Literature» Posted on OCTOBER 26, 2018 by "elfonationalist"
When this blog began I frequently employed the myths and characters of J.R.R. Tolkien in my articles. At first, I did so superficially, using Nietzschean and Jungian interpretations, however, I suspected that the content of Tolkien’s legendarium may have an intended esoteric message. Later, my suspicions were supported when reading Julius Evola’s Revolt Against the Modern World and his The Mystery of the Grail  (the page numbers referenced in this article apply to the editions hyperlinked to). I found that the legendarium of Tolkien contains symbols and myths discussed in these works, and which are integrated in a way one would expect from the esotericism of Evola. So in this article, I will attempt to move the interpretation of Tolkien’s works beyond both Christianity and Northern European polytheism into esotericism.https://elfnonationalist.wordpress.com/2018/10/26/esotericism-and-tolkien/
