Read something like the Book of Shadows, which traces the history a nd development of the first part of the LORT. If you look at what Tolkien's job was, and the subjects of his study (like Icelandic legends, Beowulf etc) and read the Silmarillion a zillion more times (I have only read it 3 times but I'm only 21- 50 years to go...) and keep on reading this site- especially HerenIstarion (you rock) I know you will understand it like them
