Who will shepherd the trees now?

HAPPY ARBOR DAY! For this holiday special, we have two guests joining us! Brandon Knight of My Seminary Life returns and Tripp Fuller of Homebrewed Christianity and the Tolkien Heads joins us for the first time! They join hosts, Joshua Noel and Will Rose to discuss the lore behind the Lord of the Rings' Ents! The Ents are a race of humanoid trees in the Lord of the Rings who watch over the trees! Who are the Ents, Entwives, and Huorns? How old is Treebeard? What kinds of trees can become Ents? What spirit or heart do trees have? What makes a tree lively in Middle Earth mythology? How can Ents become more tree-like in Arda lore? What is the origin story behind the Ents? What is the history of the white tree in Gondor? Why does Saruman hate trees so much? Do Aulë and Yavanna need to work on their marriage? What does the story of the Ents teach us about the Agricultural movement? How does Tolkien reflect on World War I in this story? Was Tolkien anti-industry and how did he view the industry of war? What can we do to better pastor or shepherd the trees today? We discuss it all in this one! Let us know what tree you would like to see become an Ent on our website: systematicgeekology.org
