Tolkien was Correct Concerning the 'Evil' of Ireland
and now that ancient evil has been brought to the surface...on purpose.
Tolkien felt about Ireland, the way HP Lovecraft felt about New England. There was great love and fascination in these places, but both authors knew that some dark, arcane shadow was always lurking below certain types of landscape. This force exists in many parts of the world and is not unique to exclusively either Munster or Maine.
I live in Ireland and know the ancient landscapes deeply and there is most certainly something - at rare times - you feel in and around old ruins, and in the boglands specifically, that is strange and haunting but not in a good way. But it is a very real and malevolent sensation that can be felt subconsciously at least.
All one has to do is look at how real evil (globalization) took root in Ireland when we joined the EU and stopped calling the country 'Eire'. Even the priest-ridden Ireland of the 1930s-50s was content to live in a nation named after a Pagan goddess.
We have collectively lost our souls as a people and now you have the real evil of Irish school books - aimed at 8-year-olds - graphically conveying the pleasure of anal sex, or encouraging them to hate traditional Irish culture. Tolkien was right, and I say this as a Pagan myself and not as a Christian; this evil was summoned by the Woke politicians and Mainstream Media in Ireland into the abomination it has become under the demonic orc stewardship of the current Woke establishment. I am glad that Tolkien is not around to see his beloved ‘Eire’ now.
Thomas I just listened to that "Ink and Fantasy" a couple of hours ago. There really is something in it. Tolkien was very much taken by the Legends and Myths of Ireland✨️
I read Tolkein and Lovecraft a lot when young and another writer Clifford D. Simak of whom Robert Heinlein proclaimed, “To read science fiction is to read Simak" Simak is a Wisconsin native and many of his books and short stories like The Thing In The Stone take place in South Western Wisconsin where I lived most of my adult life. I understand the concept of evil in the land and have felt that about certain places, but also nurture and belonging that the land can provide. When we decided we had to retire and sell our home and land we lived in for over 44 years, my dead dogs visited me in my dreams a number of times and told me not to move. I took the property off market but a year later the realtor found someone who wanted the place and my wife was really excited so we sold. The dogs again came to me and told me "this land is not for them" and "save the land". Next they came an said "This land is not for them which is why the land gave the man cancer." Later I found out he had developed a grand glioma brain tumor. He only lived to stay in our former house twice before he died. His wife kept the place and built a new house after tearing down everything we had built or was there before us. It turns out the house she built was exactly the house I had seen in dreams for decades before. I would drive by the intersection not recognizing our place because there was a different house on the hill.
I never told this story before in public, but this has been an important series of dream time events that has stayed with me, and forms much of what moves me to study and contemplate about our nature now. I think this is what made me find your YouTube videos and substack.
