Description

In this episode, we explore Tolkien's letter 131 &The Ainulindalë, the opening chapter of The Silmarillion, where Tolkien’s world begins with music. Discover how Eru Ilúvatar and the Ainur sang creation into being, what the Flame Imperishable means, and how Melkor’s discord shaped Middle-earth’s destiny. Join us as we journey chapter by chapter through The Silmarillion—unraveling Tolkien’s myths, symbols, and hidden connections to The Lord of the Rings.
