@Lordoftheringsu Interesting… the cannibalism by the elves turned orcs is yet another thing that hints at pre-Flood earth / Enochian echoes in LOTR

@vintagemapstore I’m surprised by Chinese in Kansas and the number of states with significant German speakers, though I suppose it makes sense with the amount of German heritage in those states that people would choose that as a second language in high school
"I cordially dislike allegory in all its manifestations, and always have done so since I grew old and wary enough to detect its presence. I much prefer history – true or feigned– with its varied applicability to the thought and experience of readers." - JRR Tolkien
"Feigned" history > allegory?
🤔
Tolkien famously despised allegory and yet his Lord of the Rings contains significant allusion to biblical narrative, and reflects biblical truths through his stories of Middle Earth. LOTR and the Silmarillion also reflect Enochian echoes, making one wonder how familiar Tolkien was with the Book of Enoch.

@GuntherEagleman Completely fake. Certainly there have been descriptions of visitors from the sky for thousands and thousands of years. Just not that.

@TerribleMaps It's meant to protect against a curse from Guarani tradition where the 7th consecutive son turns into a werewolf. Superstition? Perhaps, but many cultures have a belief that curses, spells, and magic can turn people into other forms.
