Hey there, fellow travellers!Having just completed our 9 episode leg through Chapter 1 of Lord of the Rings, Greta and I are taking this week and next week off as we prepare for our Mailbag and Mathoms episodes and the beginning of our dive into Chapter 2, The Shadow of the Past!I just want to say - I hope you all are enjoying this journey as much as I am! There's just something about a REALLY SLOW read that seems utterly true to the nature of Tolkien and Middle-earth, and I'm excited to continue our epic DO NOT BE HASTY quest soon!In the meantime, I want to share with you some selections from Tolkien's Overture, my book concerning the Middle-earth creation story, Ainulindalë, and the role of music in Middle-earth. The first selection is the book's first chapter, a close reading of the very first pages of The Silmarillion. The second selection is the book's sixth chapter, an extended exegesis of the role of Tom Bombadil and the source of his power.I hope you enjoy it!Head on over to TolkienRoad.com/TOVT for info on how you can enjoy the whole thing! That's TolkienRoad.com/TOVT! And by the way, if you really love what we're doing, please consider becoming a member of the Fellowship of the Road by visiting Patreon.com/TolkienRoad!One last thing: use code MUSIC10 at TrueMythsPress.com to get 10% off of everything in our Etsy store!We'll be back soon with more from our DO NOT BE HASTY journey through Lord of the Rings.
