Lord of the Rings Exposed ─ Gandalf the Wizard and Tolkien the Master of Deception (Is Lord of the Rings Occultic?)

Lord of the Rings Exposed ─ Gandalf the Wizard and Tolkien the Master of Deception (Is Lord of the Rings Occultic?)

In this article, we will look at some of the symbols and messages

in some of Tolkien's LOTR books and writings. We will see if they are occultic, or not. 

We'll look at the "Doors of Durin", the White Tree of Gondor, Gandalf's true identity as

one of the Istari, and more.

Many have researched into occult aspects of various books and movies. Some have pointed out actual witchcraft portrayed for entertainment in fictional books and movies, such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. The occult world is very active in these days in which we live. But, are J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings novels free of anything occultic? Or, do they include occult themes and symbols?

To answer those questions, we’ll start with an important character in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf is a wizard who demonstrates magical power through spells and by use of his staff. But, according to J.R.R. Tolkien, Gandalf is not a human being. Tolkien described Gandalf in this way:

“But G. [sic] is not, of course, a human being (Man or Hobbit). There are naturally no precise modern terms to say what he was. I wd. [sic] venture to say that he was an incarnate 'angel'... that is, with the other Istari, wizards, 'those who know', an emissary from the Lords of the West, sent to Middle-earth, as the great crisis of Sauron loomed on the horizon. By 'incarnate' I mean they [the Istari / wizards] were embodied in physical bodies capable of pain, and weariness, and of afflicting the spirit with physical fear, and of being 'killed', though supported by the angelic spirit they might endure long, and only show slowly the wearing of care and labour. ...” [A.] [End quote] (underline added)

Tolkien described Gandalf (and the other the Istari wizards) as having a physical body that suffers from weariness and pain, but that is controlled by an angelic spirit. Thus, Gandalf was an “incarnate angel”. Half man, half angel creatures are found in Genesis chapter 6.

The End Time Antichrist Deception (Video Games, Hollywood, and the Occult)

The End Time Antichrist Deception

The world is heading toward a conclusion: a single world empire ruled by one man. The preparation toward this goal has been long in the making and the deception to promote this kingdom has been powerful and clever.

It is all around us and seeks to lure people into conformity to the goals of the “elite”. The deception can be found in movies, books, TV shows, sports, business, toys, games, and many so-called “churches” (or false churches). It is promoted through advertisements and media.

Nothing has been left out of this deception. Society has been gripped by it and deceived. This deception has been going on for a long time, but in more recent years it has been accelerating toward the acceptance of a single planetary government and a single world leader (the beast or “Antichrist”).

We will look at a few of the areas where this deception is being promoted, and how it is promoted, and then show what we can do about it.

Hollywood

Hollywood movies have been the vehicle of deception for a long time. Since their early beginning at the end of the Victorian era, movies have spread deception in the form of the occult, sorcery, profanity, and fornication (or immoral lifestyles).

Every year, many movies are made which display occult symbolism and sorcery. Some examples include Star Wars movies, The Hobbit trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight movies, Harry Potter films, Percy Jackson films, National Treasure, The Matrix, etc.

The all-seeing eye (an occult symbol) is prevalent in many movies, TV shows, video games, advertisements, etc. Many books could be written about the occult symbols in movies and video games. This eye is the symbol for Horus who is the ancient Egyptian god of sun-worship and the eye of Horus is an ancient magic symbol (1) (see End Notes).

National Treasure movies (starring Nicolas Cage) feature the eye of Horus (or the all-seeing eye) on their movie posters. A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring Jim Carrey, displays numerous all-seeing eye symbols throughout it. (Note: I, the author, don’t watch movies anymore. I used to, but I have stopped watching movies [Hollywood-type movies and the like] since about three years ago.)

Occult “powers” are displayed on the big screen to crowds of captivated people: men, women, and children. Movies such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Nicolas Cage), Percy Jackson, etc. are getting the youth to believe that the occult is something that is fun to practice and participate in. How many children have donned wizard hats, pretended to use magic wands to cast spells on each other, or used imaginary “Force” powers in their play?

As children get older, they get inundated with images of unmarried men and women kissing each other in movies; violent scenes of killing or fighting; sorcery or magic causing levitation or other phenomena; actors using profanity; subliminal messages promoting the occult and sexual perversion, etc.

These immoral scenes are entering the hearts and minds of these children (and adults), preparing children and adults to accept something that is coming our way in the near future.

Video Games

Many video games promote the New World Order and the agenda of the “Elite” (or Illuminati). One notable example is the video game Deus Ex (from 2000). In a transcript from the video game, the character Morgan Everett tells JC Denton: “We are the Invisible Hand. We are the Illuminati. […]. And eventually... eventually we will lead them into the day.” (2) (Works Cited).

The Snares of the Devil (The Word of the Lord and what God says about this.)

The Snares of the Devil

We live in a world that is filled with entertainment, technology, and instant-access information. It is a world where movies can be watched at any time during the day or night and practically anywhere where one has internet access. Time is stolen as people spend time seeking their own interests and hobbies. Time is a precious commodity and we have less of it than we realize.

The enemy of man is a very cunning and crafty being named Lucifer or Satan. Lucifer, once an angel of God, had rebelled against God and sought worship for himself. God cast him out of Heaven along with other fallen angels that had joined Lucifer. God gave the prophet Isaiah these words:

Isaiah 14:12-15 (bold added)

12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Lucifer became Satan, the deceiver. Satan wanted to be God, but God cast him out for his pride and rebellion. After being cast out, Satan sought how he could get at God. He decided he would attack Adam and Eve, the first humans. Genesis 3 gives the true account.

Genesis 3:1-5

3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Notice how Satan attacks Eve? He asks her a question: “…Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Genesis 3:1). Then, Satan said: “… Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:4-5). Here, Satan is telling Eve that she should not trust God and that God is keeping a very important secret from Adam and Eve that they are not meant to know. To Eve, the idea of being like a god sounds enticing. She will no longer be ignorant of evil. She will have special knowledge God never intended for her to have.  

That is the trick of the Devil. Satan wants people to think that God is hiding something special from them. Satan wants people to think that if people learn this special knowledge, they can become true gods with their own power.

The Self: Doing Thine Own Will

The New Age movement (including witchcraft) has promoted man as having inherent god-like powers because they believe that God is just a force and that everything is “God”. A woman named Karen left witchcraft to become a follower of Jesus Christ. She wrote that for a witch: “It's all about power and control and the power is INSTANT. Immediate gratification.” (“Testimony of a…”).

So, witchcraft is all about “power” and “control” and “Immediate gratification.”

Anton LaVey, the founder of The Church of Satan said:
