Exploring Tolkien

3. Ainulindalë – The Silmarillion – 1


Listen Later

Join Michael, Dan, and Jonathan as they begin the long journey through The Silmarillion with the first chapter, Ainulindalē.

We tackle questions like… Why is music so important? Is there a direct relationship between the Biblical creation story and Tolkien’s? How much do the Valar actually KNOW? Why are Manwé and Melkor “brothers”? Why is water important? Are the Valar really transgender? Listen as we discuss these questions and look to find answers directly in Tolkien’s text!
