A Sacred Fellowship

Lorienne and Kathryn resume the conversation about Tolkien's essay entitled On Fairy Stories. Tolkien's deep respect for children is awe inspiring. What modern stories are Faerie to you?

Kathryn and Lorienne discuss the first five episodes from Rings of Power, Season 2. Looking for some genuine laughter and a non-toxic conversation, this is it!

Kathryn and Lorienne are back together at last and talking Tolkien and faërie. We begin our conversation on Tolkien's essay, On Fairy Stories and find there is much to discuss!

Kathryn and Lorienne discuss the final chapter of Prince Caspian through the theme of Commencement.

Kathryn and Lorienne discuss the penultimate chapter of Prince Caspian and listener Phil raises the terrifying spectacle two Loriennes.

In which Prince Caspian and the High Kings arrange their duel with King Miraz while the Lords G & S have something else in mind for Miraz. Our theme is RESTORATION and we find much to admire in the leadership of King Peter.

Kathryn and Lorienne discuss the confrontation in Prince Caspian between Nikabrik, the hag, and the werewolf with Caspian, Doctor Cornelius, and Trufflehunter. Satisfaction has legal, religious, and emotional meanings and the lack of it can be jarring.

Kathryn and Lorienne reviews Chapters 10 & 11 in Prince Caspian through the theme of blindness. The term blindness has had metaphorical meaning for centuries. Where do you see blindness, confusion, obstacles? Why can't the children see Aslan?

We love Lucy! Belief is our theme, as in trusting when you don't know, having faith when you are not certain. Let's here it for the thin places where we are off balance and have to trust what comes next.

“Psalm 131
Song of Quiet Trust
A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 O LORD, my heart is not lifted up,
my eyes are not raised too high;
      I do not occupy myself with things
       too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
       like a weaned child with its mother;
       my soul is like the weaned child that is with me. [245]
3 O Israel, hope in the LORD
       from this time on and forevermore.”

Kathryn and Lorienne take on Chapter 8 of Prince Caspian. In a chapter Lorienne thought was  unnecessary, we find great examples of equity, justice, and righteousness. 

Kathryn was reminded of this speech here. Lorienne had very strong feelings about expectations and the phrase "no offense."
