Happy Tolkien Tuesday! . I haven’t posted a #tolkientuesday in soooo long! It feels so good to get back into the swing of being my #tolkienite self! These freakin stunning LOTR candles are from Marissa @burningbrightcandleco ! This Rivendell and Middle-Earth candle are life🙌 I couldn’t feel more fandom vibes! These two give me all the magic of Elrond’s home! Rivendell: where the leaves bloom flowers of gold! Eek! Could you imagine!? So beautiful! . . Swipe through these pictures to tell me your favorite! I liked them all. They are each different so why not post them all!?☺️ (I think the last one has a special magic to it✨) . “Of the Three Rings that the Elves had preserved unsullied no open word was ever spoken among the Wise, and few even of the Eldar knew where they were bestowed. Yet after the fall of Sauron their power was ever at work, and where they abode there mirth also dwelt and all things were unstained by the griefs of time. Therefore ere the Third Age was ended the Elves perceived that the Ring of Sapphire was with Elrond, in the fair valley of Rivendell, upon whose house the stars of heaven most brightly shone; whereas the Ring of Adamant was in the Land of Lórien where dwelt the Lady Galadriel. A queen she was of the woodland Elves, the wife of Celeborn of Doriath, yet she herself was of the Noldor and remembered the Day before days in Valinor, and she was the mightiest and fairest of all the Elves that remained in Middle-earth. But the Red Ring remained hidden until the end, and none save Elrond and Galadriel and Cirdan knew to whom it had been committed.” . #bookstagram #lotr #middleearth #tolkien #bookworm #tolkientribe #rivendell #elrond #onering #jrrtolkien #bookphotography #read #fantasy #fiction #fellowshipofthering #tolkienfan #elf #booknerd #bookish #booksandcandles #bookishcandle #funko

Author: Alice discovered Tolkien’s world when she was 12 years old and watched The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time. It was love at first sight. When not at her desk looking for something Middle-earth related or writing, you'll probably find her reading, playing LOTRO, or journaling.
