Realm of the Ring Lords: The Myth and Magic of the Grail Quest

About this book

The magical history of the Ring Lords alluded to in J.R.R. Tolkeins The Lord of the Rings has been largely consigned to legend and half-remembered battles between good and evil. Shrouded in supernatural enigma its legacy lives on in fascinating tales of fairies elves witches and vampires. The most popular Grail stories relate to Arthurian tales of Guineveres golden Ring and the great iron-clad Ring of Camelotthe Knights of the Round Table. When this Ring was broken the land fell into chaos and the forces of darkness reigned over the earth starlight and forest. Why do we sense deeper truths behind the mysteries of the Ring and the Grail? Why have their common enhancements been distorted and hidden? The ancient guardians of our culture have never featured positively in academic teachings for they were the Shining Ones: the real progenitors of our heritage. Instead their reality was quashed from the earliest days of Inquisitional suppression and the literal diminution of their figures caused a parallel diminishing of their history. In truth however the sovereign legacy of our culture comes from a place and time that might just as well be called Middle-earth as by any other name. It lingers beyond the twilight portal in the long distant realm of the Ring Lords.
