Concert

Even though Makalaure is the musical prodigy of the family, Maitimo still spent a good part of his youth mastering his instrument, and he likes to perform to his small audience.

Lalwen likes to listen to her nephew whenever she has the chance and Maglor, well, he likes not being the performer from time to time.+

+

For @tolkiengenweek day 7: extra day, cause I have no idea how to categorise it.

😅

@tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek day one | the valar & the orixás

Then those of the Ainur who desired it arose and entered into the World at the beginning of Time; and it was their task to achieve it, and by their labours to fulfil the vision which they had seen. Long they laboured in the regions of Eä, which are vast beyond the thought of Elves and Men, until in the time appointed was made Arda, the Kingdom of Earth. Then they put on the raiment of Earth and descended into it, and dwelt therein.

—The Silmarillion, “Valaquenta”

The Valar are here represented by a selection of the Orixás deities of the Yoruba religion. All the images were created by Brazilian photographer Tiago Sant’anna, and edited by me.

Not every Vala is represented, as I only had so much material and space; also included is Uinen, who is a Maia, not a Vala, but still one of the most powerful Ainur. Likewise, not every Orixá is included.

Uinen is represented by Iemanjá; Yavanna is represented by Oxum; Aulë is represented by Xangô; Tulkas is represented by Ogum; Nessa is represented by Iansã; Oromë is represented by Oxóssi. They are all loosely connected to their Orixá deity by their aesthetics and domain of power.

Manwë and Vána’s images are not (as far as I can tell) actually artistic representations of the Orixá, but rather some inspiring photography on other topics, but I wanted to include them as well.

A very quick digital version of an old sketch of Melkor’s design based on Tezcatlipoca for @tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek

Hace mil años con una amiga dijimos “Valinor es america” y procedimos a tratar de armar diseños de los valar basados en distintas culturas precolombinas. Nunca me terminaron de cerrar los diseños y quedaron solo en boceto, así que jamás los postee.

(I don’t know how any of you managed to post today. I’ve been trying all day and I keep getting a “failed to upload” error both on pc and app. Thanks Elon...)

Day 3 @tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek (Elves): Ben 'Zaa Vanyar

Ben 'Zaa are an indigenous people who live mostly in Oaxaca, Mexico. They are also known as Zapotec. Ben 'Zaa is the pre-hispanic name meaning cloud people, which made me think of Vanyar living on the slopes of Taniquetil, so here are Findis and Indis.

Part 10 of toi's indigenous tolkien series

[image description: one woman sitting and one woman standing, their dresses have traditional flower patterns. behind is stone ruins (Monte Albán, ancient Ben 'Zaa site) and rows of words in gold and black. Words are Vanyar, Valmar, Taniquetil, Cloud People, Ben 'Zaa. At the bottom is text on fluffy white backgrounds, says 'Cloud People' and 'Ben 'Zaa'. end image description]

Me: "I'll be posting through the week"

Also me: *forgets to post at all*

Anyway, the other day I went out and took some pictures!!! These are basically my hobbit fashion headcanons because I just know in my heart they would wear this. All of these are locally produced, mostly hand-made. I was given permission to take the pictures and share them.

So, yeah! There you have it. Most of these are traditionally for women but you got some shirts for men as well. I would've love to take a pictures of more but I forgot lmao. There was one with an embroidered hummingbird I really liked. My mom also bought a wool handbag traditionally woven. I would show you but she gifter it to someone.

I might post some other stuff later, but I've learned my lesson. I won't be making any promises lol. @tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek nwn

@tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek day three | elves | fingolfin

Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Orome himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar.

—The Silmarillion, “Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin”

Tolkien Latin American & Caribbean Week Day six: Hobbits | Folklore | Stories | Tales | Superstitions

Hobbits drinking mate and eating torta fritas with a (very small) carpincho because carpinchos are the best.

Quiero que sepan que admiro a todos los que están explicando ampliamente que dibujaron, de dónde viene y porque. No tengo esa paciencia u.u

for @tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek

x x x x x x x x x

I am portraying the Noldor of the mountainous regions of Aman with Peru.

The country and people of Peru are very important to me. I wanted to also link to some information and support pages for the Quechua people: x x

I am going to make a headcanon post for this group but essentially they live in more isolated communities in the mountains of Aman though a small population returned to Valinor with the host of Fëanor and Fingolfin where they settled in and around the Ered Luin and taught the host of Bëor to care for goats, alpacas and guinea pigs. They are experts in textile arts and dying and there is a strong passion for mathematics, geometry and cartography among them too.

@tolkienlatamandcaribbeanweek day two | places ● nature | aysén, chile as the lammoth

It has been told that Fëanor and his sons came first of the Exiles to Middle-earth, and landed in the waste of Lammoth, the Great Echo, upon the outer shores of the Firth of Drengist. And even as the Noldor set foot upon the strand their cries were taken up into the hills and multiplied, so that a clamour as of countless mighty voices filled all the coasts of the North; and the noise of the burning of the ships at Losgar went down the winds of the sea as a tumult of great wrath, and far away all who heard that sound were filled with wonder.

—The Silmarillion, “Of the Return of the Noldor”

Thank you to @the-quiet-fire-of-defiance for creating the threads, frames and tengwar on their art program

At the top a Quechua weaving design, lines come down like threads. White words are 'Miriel' and 'Vaire', tengwar of the words underneath. Some thread lines become diamond shapes with pictures in them. The pictures are from top to bottom

1. A young Quechua woman/girl (Miriel)

2. A serious Kichwa woman (Vaire)

3. Part of a Quechua tapestry

4. A woman leaning over a traditional loom
