Thanks, Khylie! I have had this difficulty too, both with writing my own stories and trying to understand Tolkien's use of magic more specifically. I'm glad my article helped! God bless!
Thank you very much for this enlightening post! Many people do make the mistake of thinking that the use of power in Tolkien's stories is similar to that in Harry Potter, but they are very different.
Thank you! Yes, I see that mistake pretty often too, so I thought it would be good to clarify Tolkien's views on magic. The importance of the topic also led to my article being a bit longer than usual - hopefully not too long! God bless
Kaleb- This is an interesting breakdown on magic as it relates to classic literature. Glad I found it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Thalia, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great essay on the particulars of sorcery in Tolkien's world, love it!
Thank you very much! God bless!
Bienvenue
Near total aside. An idle, a frivolous thought.
Was Tolkien a anarcho-monarchist, or a monarcho-anarchist?
Inquiring minds would be mildly curious to know.
I very much appreciated this article, having wrestled with the topic before when writing my own fantasy stories. Thank you!
