It is interesting that Both Lewis & Williams were deeply into the 'occult' before becoming Christians & their felllow Inkling, Owen Barfield was a follower of Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy. We don't know that Tolkien ever shared that interest, but we do know that he was very interested in metaphysical subjects (as Flieger has demonstrated, Tolkien was greatly influenced by the ideas of JW Dunne on the nature of time & re-incarnation).
