When Thorin gave Bilbo the Mithril chainmail shirt, he said it was made for an Elven prince.

The only Elven prince that was born in any of the 4 Elven realms since the founding of Erebor is Legolas.

Frodo is wearing Legolas's baby clothes in LOTR.

If Boromir was alive, he'd totally be an all girls dad. He has girl dad vibes. So does Aragorn actually but I believe the Internet has made that nearly cannon.

Purva Ashadha and Shravana (monkey yonis)

As a famous movie couple.

Purva Ashadha is the last venus ruled nakshatra, meaning "the previous invincible one", its symbol is a winnowing basket, separating all things worthy from the unworthy. Its ruling deities are Apas, water creatures, and this nakshatra is strongly connected to waters and the seas. It's about gaining alliances to secure your victory.

Shravana is the last moon ruled nakshatra, meaning "hearing", its symbols are the ear and three footprints. Ruling deity is Vishnu- Hindu preserver god and consort of Lakshmi(associated with Purva Ashadha and Rohini). Its about connecting everything together.

Now, let me introduce you to the couple.

Aragon and Arwen

from The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Liv Tyler (Purva Ashadha moon)

Viggo Mortensen (Shravana moon)

When the first movie begins Aragorn is a simple, lonely ranger, but always dedicated to doing what he thinks is right. He definitely has the makings of a king, he's also descended from Isildur, being the true heir to the throne. Despite his lineage, he's living like an average lowly man, an outcaste, wondering on on his own. Shravana is connected to wandering and also being one of men and that being the trait that makes the king. Shravana is "the savior" or "the preserver" of mankind, and that also obviously applies to Aragorn. Shravana being mleccha (outcast) caste also ties with him living like a lowlife and being apart from society.

Arwen, on the other hand, is busy rebelling against her father and choosing a mortal life due to her love for Aragorn. She's a noble elf maiden (Purva Ashadha is in the Brahmin caste- the highest standing caste). Purva Ashadha (like all venus nakshatras) are romantics and always choose to bravely follow their heart. Also a very interesting thing to note is that Arwen is reffered to as "the evenstar" or "the evening star", which is obviously Venus.

When she gifts Aragorn her necklace, he refuses at first, not believing himself worthy, but Arwen insists and says: "It is mine to give to whom I choose, like my heart". That pretty much sums up what this nakshatra is about.

Eventually, Aragorn does become king and Arwen does choose a mortal life, even thought it meant seeing her love age and die before her.

One of my favorite scenes in the whole trilogy is when Arwen is taking Frodo to Rivendell while they're being chased by the Nazgul. She bravely stands up to them and summons the waters to defeat them. Purva Ashadha's power is to invigorate and Arwen using the waters to secure her victory makes a lot of sense.

Purva Ashadha invigorates, Shravana connects and together they become a formidable team.

Everytime I think of Purva Ashadha and Shravana my mind immideately goes to these two. The setting, the etheral aesthetic and the otherworldliness makes me think of their yoni- Vaanar also meaning "human-like creature" or "a human-like being from other dimentions" in Sanskrit. They were said to live in forests and that's where Arwen went and lived before she passed, overcome by the grief of being separated from her love. But their story remains in the minds and hearts of people, and their love, courage, devotion and loyalty is remembered forever.

If you're Purva Ashadha or Shravana, or if you love lotr/arwen and aragorn, let me know what you think. Please, interact with me in any way. Love you, take care 🤍

Anyway, I love how Tolkien suggests that he is just translating material he found in an old red box.

There and Back Again (memoirs of Bilbo) – Brought to us as the title "The Hobbit". •It's fun to think that The Hobbit is lighter and more dynamic because Bilbo told these stories to the children of the Shire (well, he told part of it, although not everything he wrote, because he hadn't finished yet). Soon the narrative takes on a more childish tone. I like to think that Bilbo had happyness telling this to the little ones, at the same time that it was a way of honoring that journey, without turning it into a painful story for Bilbo.

The Downfall of the Lord of the Rings and The Return of The King (memoirs of Frodo, supplemented by the accounts of their friends and the knowledge of the Wise, about the War of The Ring) — Brought to us as the title "The Lord of The Rings". •While Lord of The Rings is much more detailed and complex because it aims to be a historical account from the point of view, mainly, of Frodo.

Translations from the Elvish (with extracts of Elvish tradition from the Elder Days, translated by Bilbo in Rivendell from Elvish to Westron) — Brought to us as the title "The Silmarillion". •And The Silmarillion has the neutral tone of a compendium, which tells us what we need to know in a compiled form. I found it fun to read it while imagining Bilbo telling me reading something he wrote. And here the tone is not childish like The Hobbit because he was already in Rivendell and the objective for compiling was purely academic.

And all others posthumous books after The Silmarillion we can imagine as third-party studies of other drafts not used by in "the work found and translated by Tolkien". I like the idea of Legendarium, with a body of legendary and mythical stories that complement each other and, depending on the source of the drafts used (posthumous books or letters), may contradict each other. I find it interesting because real legends and myths have more than one version and variation over time and over the places where it spread, with variations depending on who tells it. That's why I don't care if the adaptations are different from the books, because can have fun and be entertained as if it were another version of the myth/legend.

The only reason I wish Tolkien would turn all of this into "narrated" plots instead of "told" ones is because he's an excellent author and I really wanted to see how he would turn a lot of what he just "told" into long narratives with dialogues. Can you imagine much of what was only "told" in The Hobbit, Lord of The Rings and The Silmarillion as full plot narratives? Because in these books there are several excerpts of things that are just "told" instead of "narrated part by part with time, characters and full dialogues"… But still, I love what he did. I love this fantasy. Anyway, Tolkien is an excellent storyteller❤️

heyyy! 🙏🙏 i started watching the movies not long ago and idk much about them so i have a question: can you explain what she means in the movie when she says she will remain galadriel……..????

Of course, Anon!

Tolkien was a philologist and a linguist, therefore names in the Tolkienverse are a big deal: in The Silmarillion, the evil god that revolts against his brothers and his creator is called Melkor but it's later renamed Morgoth* (Dark Enemy) and his servant, Mairon, is commonly known as Sauron (the Abhorred). Sméagol becomes Gollum, so I've always thought that "I will [diminish and] remain Galadriel" means she won't turn into the Dark Queen we see appearing for a moment when she's showing her true power to Frodo, who would probably assume a different and ominous name.

Edited to add an important detail: Galadriel isn't one of the names her parents gave her as a child but the one she chooses to use later on in life, because her spouse Celeborn calls her so. It's especially dear to her and by confirming that she wishes to remain Galadriel she reaffirms her choice (refusing the Ring and its power).

*the extended edition features a scene where Legolas explains what happened to Gandalf and says: "He was taken by both shadow and flame - a Balrog of Morgoth" but if you're not familiar with the lore it's hard to figure out who Morgoth is

Have said it before and will say it again: If Frodo had actually been able to throw the Ring into the Fire by himself, that would’ve meant he was some kind of Superman. The point of Frodo is he’s NOT Superman. He’s a regular ordinary guy who volunteers to do the impossible.

Random thought as I go through the LOTR trilogy for the -illionth time: Elves (Lothlorien) and Dwarves (Moria) REALLY like their staircases.

Bad knees must just be a thing that happens exclusively to the race of Men. Poor sods.
