A Sacred Fellowship
asacredfellowship@gmail.comTwo friends and the occasional guest take listeners on a chapter-by-chapter exploration of the stories of J.R.R. Tolkien by treating them as sacred texts worthy of close study. One is a relative newcomer and one has been calling herself a hobbit since the age of 8. Each week, we will cover a chapter through a different motif and use sacred practices to dive deep into the lore of Middle Earth.

- Worth Checking Out!
Excellent discussions! These folks not only know their Tolkien but their approach (analyzing each chapter from a single perspective using a variety of analytical tools (including Pardes and Chevruta) is very thought-provoking. Very good at discussing with listeners. Enjoy!

Apple Podcasts5ElfbelieveUnited States6 years ago - So much fun
I’ve read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings at least once a year since I was 7 and my Dad read them to me. But for the almost 29 years between then and now I’ve only read them on my own. This follows a similar layout of Harry Potter and the Sacred Text (I’m fairly sure that it started from their Facebook group) but we have built a community all on our own. With Lorienne just reading the book for the first time and Kathryn as a veteran it’s a good team to lead the podcast to get through the series... more

Having found this podcast from another with similar structure (HPST), I am excited to follow along through books I know so well. The hosts seem to really enjoy what they are doing and have great affection for each other. I am looking forward to following this podcast for years.
Apple Podcasts51outdoorguy!United States6 years ago - Lord of the Rings as Sacred Text
A great listen! If you’re a fan of JRR Tolkien, think you could be a fan, or maybe you love the movies but have never picked up the books, or just want to examine these iconic texts a little deeper, this podcast is perfect for you.
Tolkien is famous for the depth of the characters and world he creates, and this podcast uses that world and these characters and their journeys to see what lessons we can learn and apply to our own lives. For me, this is the perfect way to get a little adventure du... more
