wispeight has just left Hobbiton.
I think the Valar are just as interesting and perhaps a bit easier to understand than the Greek gods. The number fourteen is an interesting aspect and draws to my mind the image of force and matter among seven grades.

I've put much more time into reading about the Greek gods, and only a small amount in comparison, to reading about Norse gods. It is easier to remember the latter. I'm choosing to refrain from speculating on why that is.

I watch anything that is LotR type of movie. It is very beautiful, and I am finding out some interesting insights into the late author and what he might have devoted a lot of study to.
