Tolkien The Master: Megaloceros Giganteus in The Hobbit
TheImaginariumForge, is the
ETSY Shop BLOG of
TheDancingGoats…
Tolkien’s stories amalgamate the lore of the West in an
amazing and powerful mix.
None so strong as the subtle portrayal of creatures that
shared our world but now are gone.
Jackson’s, Megaloceros giganteus or
the extinct Irish Elk, was the animal on which The King of the Wood Elves rode in The Hobbit. He was also known as The Stag of the Hunt and is my Avatar on ETSY... He has graced my
mantle for a decade.
We knew
them. The Cave Painters of Lascaux illustrated them in the most striking way…

Deep time: Tolkien understood it and his
personal letters describe his efforts to retell the story of the west in deep
prehistory.

A few of my favorite LOTR lore castings & why LOTR has such power:
Théoden’s end before the walls of Minas
Tirith? Theodoric King of the
Visigoths, defeater of Atilla died in 451 trampled by his own horse and men.
Treebeard the Ent and the deep lore associated
with Tree Spirits in Western and Northern Europe …The original inspiration
for hundreds of my woodcarvings.
Trolls under a bridge? Our extinct and silent
relatives, the Neanderthals’
Memory of a Thousand Seasons
