Thank you so much for this reminder, the steadfast tales of Tolkien have always carried me through difficult times since I was a kid! I have had the Silmarillion in my queue for a while, promising myself to dive into it again!
Also, always a delight to recognize you appearing on This Jungian Life! The mandala episode was wonderful, and I love the parallels with the mechanisms here- I scribbled down a note from the episode -“symbols create bridges between very big powerful energies and ourselves - appearing to help integrate large changes”
What Tolkien did was he created a symbolic world, to help us digest our own.
🙏❤️Deep gratitude for your words. What a perfect quote. And damn, what a symbol he created. And how much his son continued it on. It’s a a true living symbol when it gets inhabited by more and more creatives.
