🌿 Spring is here and everything is blooming like the White Tree of Gondor should be with the Return of King Aragorn and the beginning of the Fourth Age. 💚 – 🌿 – As much as I would like to write an epic caption worthy of the King of Gondor, it’s been a long day and I can’t ask my mind to do any more, so I’ll let this picture talk for itself. I would only like to point out that great things happen when @in.the.reads and @tookishcandleco collaborate, as it is clear from this candle and art based on the White Tree itself. 😍 🌿 – QOTD: What are you currently reading and how are you liking it? – 🌿 (Remember you can use my rep code OKAMI10 to buy epic things at @in.the.reads!!) – 🌿 #middleearthmarch Minas Tirith: The White Tree of Gondor #bookqueensmar19 New life: retelling you want to happen – Spring Equinox — I am kind of excited to see what Amazon will do with their mini series based on the Second Age! #allthebooksmarch19 Hello, Spring (Spring Colors) #bookishcoven Let’s dance by the full moon light | Spring Equinox #wildadventuresmar19 Lives Up to the hype #bookravensmar19 Dryad – New beginnings: Spring Equinox #marchbookstagram19 Love at first sight: Aragorn and Arwen #bookreadhappyhour Favorite folklore or mythology: Does LOTR count? 😆 🌿 – #middleearthmarch2019 #tolkien #jrrtolkien #tolkientribe #tolkienite #tolkienfan #tolkiencollection #lotr #middleearth #thereturnoftheking #aragorn #inthereads #tookishcandleco #kingaragorn #thewhitetreeofgondor #minastirith #lordoftherings #books📚 #Gondor #bookishmerch

Year 3019 – The Lord of the Rings

June 25

  • King Elessar finds the sapling of the White Tree

Then Aragorn turned, and there was a stony slope behind him running down from the skirts of the snow; and as he looked he was aware that alone there in the waste a growing thing stood. And he climbed to it, and saw that out of the very edge of the snow there sprang a sapling tree no more than three foot high. Already it had put forth young leaves long and shapely, dark above and silver beneath, and upon its slender crown it bore one small cluster of flowers whose white petals shone like the sunlit snow.
Then Aragorn cried: “Yé! utìvienyes! I have found it! Lo! here is a scion of the Eldest of Trees! But how comes it here? For it is not itself yet seven years old.”

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.
