The Lord of the Rings was the sequel to J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel, The Hobbit. This book series took shape in Tolkien’s mind in the late 1930s. One day as Tolkien was grading papers, he found a blank sheet a paper and a sentence came to his mind: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” (1; see Works Cited, below). He wrote it down and began to ponder what a hobbit was and what kind of hole it lived in. From that day forward, J.R.R. Tolkien began a story that would become very popular all around the world.

His story, The Lord of the Rings, picked up popularity in the late ‘60s and became known as ‘the Bible of the “Alternative Society”.’ (1). The drug / counter-cultural revolution loved “Lord of the Rings”. Tolkien has a cult following that continues to this day.

The question now is: ‘Why is The Lord of the Rings series so popular?’ Why would the writings of a British Oxford professor of English Language and Literature be so popular around the world today? Why would The Lord of the Rings reach such popularity that it would be turned into a block-buster movie trilogy, which would gain over $1.03 billion for all three films (4)? And, why would The Hobbit movie, alone, exceed $1 billion in box office sales world-wide (4)?

There is something you need to understand. Growing up, I (the author of this article) was interested in The Lord of the Rings. I read the whole series (including The Hobbit) at least three times or more. I enjoyed the adventure and action and the plot. J.R.R. Tolkien was a master at story-telling. He knew how to write fiction. I am writing this article because I want people to be informed about The Lord of the Rings and how it is filled with real witchcraft and real sorcery.
