TOLKIEN WEBSITE REFERENCE


This is simply a listing of all the internet sites on Tolkien (followed by a blurb) that "The Lothlorien Forum members have recommended for your easy reference *Smile*.

*Star* The Mythopoeic Society http://www.mythsoc.org/ recommended by Walkinbird - Called to action
Founded in 1967, The Mythopoeic Society is a non-profit international literary and educational organization for the study, discussion, and enjoyment of fantastic and mythic literature, especially the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams.

*Star* Green Books http://greenbooks.theonering.net/index.shtml recommended by Lobelia is truly blessed
Welcome to the Green Books of Middle-earth! Not to be confused with the Red Book of Westmarch, we are just pilgrims on the Tolkien trail, exploring the history, people, and events of all the ages of Middle-earth, the Blessed Realm, and the lands that lie beneath the wave. Whether you need to know more about the Elvish languages, find out what new editions of old favorites are coming to market, read in-depth commentary on Tolkien’s thematic elements, or peruse fan-submitted original works or humor, Ostadan, Turgon, Quickbeam, Anwyn, and Tookish have a little something for everyone.

*Star* Quenya Lapseparma http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html recommended by rose_shadow
It seems that almost everyone who interested in Tolkien and particularly in his invented languages played with an idea to have his/her own name in an Elvish language. Some use names taken from Tolkien's books, while the others try to coin their own Elvish nickname. It seems to be a common habit. Sometimes people create their own poetic Elvish name and sometimes they try to translate the meaning of their real name into Elvish.

*Star* Gazing Upon Everlasting Day Myth http://www.geocities.com/domachowski/myth.html recommended by rose_shadow
A Listing of Articles written on Tolkien works - most have religious/catholic views.


*Star* C.S. Lewis
Another of J.R.R. Tolkien's closely allied contemporaries was C.S. Lewis, author of the Narnia series of books (among many others!) - Look into the parallels of this author's and Tolkien's life experiences and ethics.
