Lord of the Rings Exposed - The Inklings and the Occult (J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams)

Now posthumously famous around the world, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis have had a huge impact on our modern culture. Many video games, fantasy novels, and role-playing games (including Dungeons and Dragons) have been strongly influenced by The Lord of the Rings [A]. Gary Gygax, the maker of Dungeons and Dragons, originally incorporated story elements from Lord of the Rings before changing these when the game was sold to the public [A]. Tolkien, Lewis, and other Oxford professors and writers, together, formed a small group known as the "Inklings." They would meet together to discuss literature and read aloud their fiction manuscripts. We will now look at one "Inkling" in particular.

Charles Williams

(Some of the "Inklings" including Lewis,
Tolkien, Owen Barfield, and Charles Williams)

A man you may not have heard of befriended J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and played an important a role in influencing their writing. His name was Charles Williams, an esoteric author of novels, poems, and nonfiction works. What makes him an interesting character is his fascination with the occult. At the age of about 30, Williams joined a secret society that focused on occult rituals, ‘magick,’ and gnostic teachings.

Humphrey Carpenter wrote about Williams’s initiation (in 1917) into an esoteric, secret society called the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn [B]. From Carpenter’s book, The Inklings: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and Their Friends, we read:

"Among its first initiates was a coroner who allegedly performed necromantic rites... while another early member was black magician Aleister Crowley, the self styled Great Beast.... But the Order of the Golden Dawn also included persons of less outlandish ways, such as W. B. Yeats, … A. E. Waite ....  It was this group that Williams joined.” [B.] [End quote]

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.

Harry Potter Magic Exposed - Necromancy in Hogwarts

Harry Potter Magic Exposed - Necromancy in Hogwarts

Ghosts appear in Harry Potter’s Hogwarts school. They lurk in the old grounds of this school of witchcraft and wizardry. They also communicate with Harry and his classmates.

One ghost, called Nearly Headless Nick, told Harry Potter these words: “I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead.” [A.]

Harry Potter is being taught to be a wizard; to talk with spirits; how to cast spells; and to use magic for “good” purposes. But, all of these things are forbidden in God’s Word, the Bible, in Deuteronomy 18.

The Occult in Narnia, Part 7 - C.S. Lewis Promotes the Occult in His Books

C.S. Lewis claimed to be a Christian, but does his fruit show it? What themes and beliefs do Lewis' Narnia books promote? In this article, we will look at a few excerpts from some of his Narnia stories. What messages do they tell us, and what are they teaching children?

The "Deep Magic"

We start with a scene from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. After Edmund betrays his family and friends to the White Witch, he felt bad about what he did. Aslan, the lion, sends a rescue party to snatch Edmund out of the witch's hands. Aslan then confronts the witch over her right to hold Edmund under her power. C.S. Lewis writes:

[The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe]

"Have you forgotten the Deep Magic?" asked the Witch.

"Let us say I have forgotten it," answered Aslan gravely. "Tell us of this Deep Magic."

"Tell you?" said the Witch, her voice growing suddenly shriller. "Tell you what is written on that very Table of Stone which stands beside us? Tell you what is written in letters deep as a spear is long on the trunk of the World Ash Tree? Tell you what is engraved on the sceptre of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea? You at least know the magic which the Emperor put into Narnia at the very beginning. You know that every traitor belongs to me as my lawful prey and that for every treachery I have a right to a kill." [A.]

Notice that this law set up by the "Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea" (who is supposed to be God the Father) is called "magic"? In Prince Caspian, we learn that Aslan is the son of the Emperor-over-Sea. Lewis writes: "And if Aslan himself comes, ... he is the son of the great Emperor-over-Sea, ...." [B.]. C.S. Lewis said that Aslan was a type of Christ [C.]. For this "Father God" character to use magic goes against God's own holy Word, the Bible. Deuteronomy 18 says...

Deuteronomy 18:9-11 (underlining added)

"[9] When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. [10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

The Magic Spell Book

But, Aslan promotes occult magic to the children reading the Narnia books. From The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, we have this short dialogue between Aslan and Lucy. Lucy had just used a magic spell book to cast a spell to turn everything that is invisible visible. As you read, pay attention to how Lewis describes the spell book to his young audience (i.e. curious children). C.S. Lewis writes:

The Mark of the Beast is Not Just a Chip. (And, What is the Mark of the Beast?) Antichrist. End Times. Tribulation. Rapture.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST and the HARDENED HEART

Strong Delusion 

Is the Mark of the Beast just simply taking a "mark" to buy and sell? No. It involves worshipping the beast (Rev. 20:4). How can a person worship "the beast"? Only a deceived person can do that.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 (Bold added)
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Because of their giving place to deception, and because of their rejecting the true Jesus Christ of the Bible, God will send these hardened people "strong delusion that they should believe a lie".

A Hardened Heart

God's Word says that people can harden their hearts against God and God can harden their hearts. There is a clear warning not to have a hardened heart. God, in the Old Testament, talks about this through the psalmist.

Psalm 95:6-11
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

God, in the New Testament, talks about this through the writer of Hebrews. (Remember, there is one Bible. Both Old and New Testaments are for our learning and growth. [2 Timothy 3:16]. )
