Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
With the inclusion of Tom Bombadil in Season 2 of The Rings of Power, we're in a Tommy kind of mood, and will be revisiting a few episodes we've done on the engimatic fellow over the next week or so.
Today, it's an interview from back in 2020 with Keith Mathison on an article he wrote called The Bombadil Engima. Enjoy!
You can find Ketih's original article here...

Welcome to Episode 20 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "The Power of Pity". (This is episode 390 of The Tolkien Road podcast).
"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." - Gandalf, concerning Gollum, to Frodo
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains how Bilbo’s pity for Gollum may in fact “Rule the fate of many.”
SECTION START: A heavy silence fell in the room.
SECTION END: ‘Try!’ said Gandalf. ‘Try now!’

Hey there, Fellowship!
We interrupt your week to revisit this bonus episode from a few years back called "The Rings of Power » Why the Details of Middle-earth Matter". It came out a few months before The Rings of Power Season 1 debuted. In it, I offered my thoughts on the controversies surround the show, and, well, I think they probably still apply today, with the arrival of Season 2.
So sit back and enjoy this episode of The Tolkien Road Revisited!

Welcome to Episode 19 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "Gandalf's Worst Mistake".
'The murder of Déagol haunted Gollum, and he had made up a defence, repeating it to his “Precious” over and over again, as he gnawed bones in the dark, until he almost believed it.'
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains how he began to track Gollum but made a critical mistake.
SECTION START: “You have seen Gollum?” exclaimed Frodo in amazement.
SECTION END: “...down at last to the land of Mordor.”

Welcome to Episode 18 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "The Sad Story of Gollum".
"'You ought to begin to understand, Frodo, after all you have heard," said Gandalf. 'He hated it and loved it, as he hated and loved himself. He could not get rid of it. He had no will left in the matter.'"
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf explains to Frodo the sad story of Gollum: how the Ring used him and then threw him away.
SECTION START: “Gollum!” cried Frodo. “Gollum? Do you mean that this is the very Gollum-creature that Bilbo met?”
SECTION END: “...but I am not guessing now. I have seen him.”

Hey there, Fellowship! Greta and I plan to be back with more episodes in our epic DO NOT BE HASTY series soon.
This week, with season 2 of The Rings of Power nearly upon us, I thought we'd revisit episode 254, which focused on The Purpose of Númenor, from back in 2021.
By the way, this episode relates very closely to my next book project which I am currently writing. I am excited to share more about that with you all in the next few months, so stay tuned!

Hey there, fellow travelers!
Welcome to The Tolkien Road, episode 386!
In this bonus episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we’ll conclude our jaunt through the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings by exploring the sections “Of the Finding of the Ring” and “Note on Shire Records”!
The final two sections of the Lord of the Rings’ Prologue essentially serve to connect the story’s beginning with the events of The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, as it’s known “in-universe”.
In so doing, we’re given a glimpse into the tricksy details and false accounts that yield a deeper insight into the operation of the One Ring.

Hey there, fellow travelers! Welcome to The Tolkien Road, episode 385!
In this bonus episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we’ll continue through the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings by exploring the sections “Concerning Pipe-weed” and “Of the Ordering of the Shire”!
As we discovered in the last episode, the Prologue to The Lord of the Rings contains matters which don’t, at first, seem to matter much to the overall narrative arc of the story itself.
However, for Tolkien, the background and details matter immensely. It’s why we wound up, for example, with a large volume of Tolkien’s notes concerning things like the aging process of Elves as well as the flora and fauna of Númenor.
For Tolkien, Middle-earth became an increasingly REAL place. Not that he was crazy - instead, I’d say his creative process was informed by a strong mystical streak.
While the titles of these sections may seem very dry, there are details herein which will serve to deepen our appreciation of the intricate narrative tapestry that Tolkien spent 15 years creating.

Welcome to Episode 17 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "Sméagol and Déagol".
"The Ring went into the shadows with [Gollum], and even [Sauron], when his power had begun to grow again, could learn nothing of it."
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Fellowship of the Ring's chapter The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf recounts the tragic story of Sméagol and Déagol, and the role it played in bringing the Ring to Frodo.
SECTION START: "Long after, but still very long ago, there lived by the banks of the Great River…"
SECTION END: “...could learn nothing of it.”

Hey there, fellow travelers!
Welcome to The Tolkien Road, episode 381!
In this bonus episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we’ll be considering this highly important and controversial question: WHAT DID TOLKIEN SAY LORD OF THE RINGS WAS ABOUT?
We’ll do so by exploring Tolkien’s Foreword to the Lord of the Rings.
Or should I say…Fore-WORDS!
Indeed, the first and second editions contain entirely different Forewords by Tolkien, and each has its own peculiarities that will be of interest to all of us Tolkien deep-divers!

Welcome to Episode 15 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "The Fiery Letters".
'Hold it up!' said Gandalf. 'And look closely!'
As Frodo did so, he now saw fine lines, finer than the finest pen-strokes, running along the ring, outside and inside: lines of fire that seemed to form the letters of a flowing script. They shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth.
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as the true nature of Frodo’s Ring is definitively revealed by Gandalf!
SECTION START: Frodo took it from his breeches pocket…
SECTION END: “How, how on earth did it come to me?

Welcome to Episode 14 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "About That Ring, Frodo..."
"'It would be a grievous blow to the world, if the Dark Power overcame the Shire; if all your kind, jolly, stupid Bolgers, Hornblowers, Boffins, Bracegirdles, and the rest, not to mention the ridiculous Bagginses, became enslaved.'"
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as Gandalf reveals to Frodo all that he has learned of his Ring in the past 17 years.
SECTION START: Next morning after a late breakfast...
SECTION END: “Give me the ring for a moment.” Join us!

Welcome to Episode 13 of DO NOT BE HASTY - I'm calling this one "Sam at the Green Dragon"!
"And I've heard tell that Elves are moving west. They do say they are going to the harbours, out away beyond the White Towers.'
Sam waved his arm vaguely; neither he nor any of them knew how far it was to the Sea, past the old towers beyond the western borders of the Shire. But it was an old tradition that away over there stood the Grey Havens, from which at times elven-ships set sail, never to return."
In this episode of DO NOT BE HASTY, we continue through The Shadow of the Past, as we listen in on Sam’s speculations at the Green Dragon concerning Elves and Tree-men!
This section begins with the words: “Little of all this, of course, reached the ears of ordinary hobbits.”
And ends with: “...and they stayed up far into the night.”

This section begins with the words: “The talk did not die down in nine or even ninety-nine days…” And ends with…“but they had no name.”

Hey there, fellow travellers!
Having just completed our 9 episode leg through Chapter 1 of Lord of the Rings, Greta and I are taking this week and next week off as we prepare for our Mailbag and Mathoms episodes and the beginning of our dive into Chapter 2, The Shadow of the Past!
I just want to say - I hope you all are enjoying this journey as much as I am! There's just something about a REALLY SLOW read that seems utterly true to the nature of Tolkien and Middle-earth, and I'm excited to continue our epic DO NOT BE HASTY quest soon!
In the meantime, I want to share with you some selections from Tolkien's Overture, my book concerning the Middle-earth creation story, Ainulindalë, and the role of music in Middle-earth. The first selection is the book's first chapter, a close reading of the very first pages of The Silmarillion. The second selection is the book's sixth chapter, an extended exegesis of the role of Tom Bombadil and the source of his power.
I hope you enjoy it!
Head on over to TolkienRoad.com/TOVT for info on how you can enjoy the whole thing! That's TolkienRoad.com/TOVT!
And by the way, if you really love what we're doing, please consider becoming a member of the Fellowship of the Road by visiting Patreon.com/TolkienRoad!
One last thing: use code MUSIC10 at TrueMythsPress.com to get 10% off of everything in our Etsy store!
We'll be back soon with more from our DO NOT BE HASTY journey through Lord of the Rings. Until next time, The Road Goes Ever On.
