Ah, Danny boy... what a guy.

Now in my thoughts, Middle Earth DID have a sacred feminine. Several, in fact. Yavanna, Nienna, Varda... etcetera. See what I mean? The Elves particularly loved and "worshiped" Elbereth, as seen when they sing to her, or call on her aid in despair. The Valar are so great when it comes to equal rights... I mean, Eru is a "He", but only in terms of the universal pronoun. He isn't really anything, but he is, you know? But the Valar... they've got equal numbers of "men" and "women". They are worshipped equally. Manwe is the most powerful, I suppose, but the Varda is probably the most loved. I suppose the Middle Earth Priory of Scion would be the Elves, loving and preserving the memory (if not the bloodlines) of their revered lady of light.
