Announcing Ilsaluntë Valion -- Tolkienian gnosis

[aikanaro]

Hello everyone:

I am a first-time poster here, but my friend Lomelindo has been on your Forum since 2005.

We wanted to announce the opening of our new board, Ilsaluntë Valion (Silver Ship of the Valar), which is dedicated to deep spiritual exploration and gnosis of the entire Tolkienian Mythos (the Legendarium):

forum.westofwest.org/

We are a group that branched off from Tië eldaliéva late last autumn, and our focus is somewhat different, but all of those things can be read in the Charter on our board by anyone who is interested. There is no need to become a member to read the public posts, but in order to contribute you must apply for membership. The reason for this is that we are a specialized group, and to avoid diluting our focus we only have time to deal with members who are truly committed to the Project. Again, more details are explained in the Charter.

In any case, I thank you for accepting me into your community here.

Sincerely,

~* Aikanaro *~

Hello Aikanaro.

Welcome to the group. It's always good to hear of other Tolkien-based spiritual groups. I hope that you enjoy your time here. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM me.

Sincerely,
Laurasia

Thank you very much, Laurasia.

One of the sections we have planned for the board is a forum devoted to the exploration of the Númenórean bloodlines vis-à-vis historical peoples and cultures. Later, "consensus history" that is. We don't have that section up yet, though we are adding to the downloads section under the "Sources & Relevant Materials" forum (I'm working on that now as I type this).

Well bravo. I'm always glad to hear of groups that remember the races of men within the world of Middle-Earth. ;D

Sincerely,
