An Esoteric Reading of Lord of the Rings

Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and "Silmarillion" contain many esoteric clues that point to a "secret reading" of the works. In this post I will try to document as many clues as I can, but further suggestions from readers are more than welcome!

Numeric symbolism first clued me into the fact that Tolkien was an adept (of course it's a good guess that anyone who is famous for writing about magic and comes from an elite British background is actually an adept). For example:

*In LOTR, Bilbo celebrates his "eleventy-first" birthday. 121 years= 11 x 11 years (Masonic Master number)
*There are 11x11 musical scores from the LOTR film trilogy
*There are 11x11 questions in the LOTR quiz
    (http://www.lordotrings.com/quiz.asp)
* Frodo is 33 years old when he begins the Ring quest.
*The film "Return of the King" says that Frodo returns to the Shire 13 months to the day. 

There are linguistic clues too:
*Although Tolkein denied it, "Moria" looks an awful lot like "Mt. Moriah" in Jersusalem. Tolkien was a linguist and no fool, there is not a word in his works that he did not plan to have a specific sound and meaning.
*Avallone (pronounced "Ava-loh-nay"), a city of the Eldar, is similar to Avalon. Both are beautiful places that used to be portals to another place of existence. Now they are both lost, but can still be accessed by those who have the "lore and starcraft" (from Akallabeth,). King Arthur, the Once and Future King, along with the Beast of Revelation are said to be that which "once was, now is not, yet it will come". Avallone is described in similar terms: "Avallone is vanished from the Earth... yet once they were, and therefor they still are".
* "Ea" is the name Tolkien chooses for the created Universe. It is also the name of a powerful Sumerian god.

Moria Gate

Royal Arch-also seven stars

The Egyptian Connection:
A very proud king arises in Numenor, and he turns to the worship of Morgoth. His name is Ar-Pharazon, very similar to the word "pharaoh". Like the pharoahs, he marries a close relative. Also like the Pharaohs, the kings of Numenor try to prolong life, but only end up being able to preserve the dead bodies, which they house in elaborate tombs.  
BTW, the Athenian empire used to be known as the "Osirian Empire", or Empire of Osiris. The name is very similar to the land of "Ossiriand" in the Silmarillion.


What is the true identity of Melkor/Morgoth?
Clue #1: He claims to be the ultimate God, but he is lying.
Clue #2: He demands blood sacrifice and burnt offerings.
Clue #3: His temple is 500 feet in diameter, 50 feet thick and 500 feet tall.
Clue #4: His servant is represented as a single Eye.


There is another "god" who loves the number 50, who loves blood sacrifice, who loves war and destruction, who demands worship, who falsely claims to be the highest god: His name is Marduk. You may know him by his other name, YHWH.

Any one who has even skimmed through the Old Testament can see that it is FULL of YHWH's wrath and vengeance, mostly for not worshiping him enough. He is a lover of blood sacrifice and burnt offerings. In Melkor's temple, the silver dome turns black from the smoke of burnt offerings. In YHWH's temple, there were special grooves in the floor to carry away the gallons of blood that poured from the altar as they killed terrified animals by the hundreds.
The silver dome of Melkor's temple is blackened by the smoke of burnt offerings from a fire altar: "Thereafter the smoke and the fire went up without ceasing" (from Akallabeth).

Notice the similarity to the Old Testament descriptions of burnt offerings:  "They set the altar in its place.... and they offered burnt offerings on it...morning and evening." (Ezra 3:3)

Let me give you a piece of common-sense advice: If a spirit-entity asks you to stab baby animals with knives on an altar because the blood is "pleasing" to him, that entity is a DEMON, no matter what lies it gives about being the "only true God who loves you".  I believe the true God, Jesus, does not demand blood sacrifice. Instead he offered himself to the demon YHWH to be killed, as a blood sacrifice on our behalf.

Tolkein is a Gnostic, he knows the identity of the Demiurge YHWH/Marduk/Ra/GAOTU, and he made him the ultimate villain, Morgoth.

The Numenoreans: Anti-Christ Propaganda
We are told that the Numenoreans were an ancient people with great technical skill, who lived long lives because of their Elven blood. Their worship of Melkor led to their downfall, when their island home was covered by the sea. Let's see, who else
1. had great technical skill now lost to humanity.
2. were great navigators.
3. turned toward evil and were destroyed by the sea.

The Numenoreans are the Atlanteans. Although Tolkein once again denies any connection, the Elven name for Akallabeth, the land of the Numenoreans vanished beneath the sea, is Atalante!!

 Soooooo that makes Aragorn the last of the Atlanteans. And I believe that Aragorn is also an Anti-christ figure for several reasons:

1. Aragorn is made king once evil is defeated and a "new age"/New World Order begins. Of course the silly rabble need a king to be happy right? Even in a wonderful new age, those pesky proletarians need to be kept in line by a benevolent monarch.
2. Aragorn is of the "pure" bloodline of Numenor- rather like those humans who trace their ancestry to the Annunaki/Reptilians. (British Royals anyone???) Bloodlines are very important to the Illuminati, and to Tolkein.
3. His flag and heraldry reveal his connection to the Pleiades, Niburu and Judaism.

4. The "Return of the King" sounds a lot like the "return of the Once and Future King", Arthur, another Anti-christ figure.

(Note: This long and well-researched article posits Prince Charles as the Anti-Christ, however, much of what they say can be applied to William also.)

So what about the Elves?
The Elves seem to me to represent ET's. They are not human, they have incredibly long lives and they have technical knowledge far beyond humans. More specifically, the Elves are similar to the Star Seed or Star Children. Both groups are made of very old, not-quite-human souls who have a special connection to Nature and especially the sea. They are tired of the work that they have done here to help Earth/Middle Earth, and feel a desire to return home.

The White Council
In the last book of the Silmarillion, Sarumon leads a group of wizards and elves called "The White Council" to direct the affairs of Middle Earth. Oddly enough, the New Age movement includes a "The Great White Brotherhood": a collection of aliens and angels that make decisions about Earth.

 Here's where it gets really weird: I was watching a lesser-known Bogart film, Beat the Devil. In it, he meets a character at a bar who starts speaking hysterically about "the Rosicrusians, the Great White Brotherhood!!!". That is pretty intense stuff for 1953. The film seems to have nothing to do with magic, the occult or anything like that. It doesn't really fit with the plot. Just a hat-tip to the Illuminated Ones I guess.  

I know there is a lot more I have missed, and I will be updating this as I re-read Tolkein's works and take better notes this time. Please feel free to contribute your ideas on LOTR symbolism below.
