I don't know if you have thought about it, but there are quiet some links between Tolkien's imaginary(?) world and the occult teachings within the Brotherhoods. You who have read "Lord of the Rings", and especially "Silmarillion", might know what I'm getting at ...

Me own first contact with Tolkien's world was in 1968, when the Swedish Radio presented "The Hobbit" as a summer-series. It was very well produced, with different voices for different characters etc., and I was totally fascinated. I could see the whole scenario in moving, 3D pictures inside my head and it was very real. I was stuck in front of the radio every morning the whole summer through, and when Thorin died in the end, I was crying - like if I had re-lived the loss of a long gone dear friend once again. I experienced the same thing a few years later when I read "Lord of the Rings" - the episode when Gandalf fell to his death in the depths of Moria (but later reincarnated).

Through my teens Tolkien was a big part of my life, and when he died in 1973 I thought the world must have come to an end. Seemed like he had so much more to give, and still the masterpiece which I'd been waiting for - the "Silmarillion" - was not yet released. Terrible ...!

However, his son, Christopher Tolkien, later put Silmarillion together and to my big relief it was released I think in 1977 in Sweden.

Of course, Tolkien was a professor in the English language and a terrific story-teller, no doubt about that. But there is something more to it. Long before I knew anything about occultism, I had the feeling parts of his story was true in some way. Had Middle-Earth existed some time in the past? I did have the feeling already then, that the spirit reincarnates in a new body when we "die", so had I had any part in this "imaginary" world of Tolkien's ...?

Well, the following will only be speculations, but I think it is interesting to debate it. I will attach an e-mail address below, so you can give me your viewpoint on the subject, if you wish.

When we discuss the matter of the Brotherhood, Illuminati and that stuff, it's inevitable to make the comparison to Tolkien. Sauron is of course Satan with his Black magical power, and Gandalf is a member a Brotherhood called "The Wizard's Council", which is a secret society in itself with magic rituals and esoteric wisdom.

The hobbits would from my viewpoint be the ignorant homo sapiens, who don't want to get involved and don't know very much about what is going on anyway. Just like in the world today, ignorant people are used for "greater purposes", without knowing what they're getting into.

Then there are the orchs, of course. I can't help comparing them to the small, big-eyed Grey aliens with their underground bases and malign intents.

The funny part of it is (and I'm sure many Tolkien fans will recognize this), that you have a very clear picture inside your head of how the different characters in the saga look like. Sometimes you look at pictures drawn by artists, related to Tolkien's world, and you often get very upset, because you "know" that's not the way they looked like. The opposite also happens. You think, yeah! This artist has really got it! Right?

It's interesting from this viewpoint to compare the power-struggle of Middle-Earth with the power-struggle on Earth today, as we know it from the magical point of view. Because that's just what it is - a magic power-struggle above ordinary people's heads. We are the "ignorant", the "sheep" and the magicians are the "shepherds" eager to keep the sheep within their fold, so they themselves can be busy with "more important things".

Like some occult teachers, Tolkien got the idea to his masterpiece after he had been wounded in the first World War. He didn't know from where he got the idea, it just "came to him". Like I said, many occultists have had the same experience - some strange power just channeling through them ... Another thing is, Tolkien was a professor in Oxford, which is ruled by the Illuminati. Conclusion: was Tolkien a part of the Brotherhood in some degree? Did he know the occult technology, or is everything just a coincidence? He himself said he used parts of the Beowulf saga and the old Icelandic myths, but that doesn't explain everything.

Also, Tolkien must have been aware of the Sumerian scriptures. If you look at the Genesis in Silmarillion, you see the similarities both from old Sumer and the Genesis of the Illuminati. Eru is from this viewpoint Anu, the alien king/god in Sumer, and ainur would be the "annunaki". Melkor is the fallen angel, the teacher of Sauron, Satan as we know him.
