Mythgard Academy

Tonight, it is time to join Tolkien in some fun with language!

Tonight we look carefully at the (scattered) thoughts Tolkien left on the end of the Elder Days in the Tale of Years.

Tonight, we see Christopher Tolkien working through the difficult tail end of the Elder Days.

Tonight we will see Christopher struggling, in retrospect, with the challenges of editing the Silmarillion.

Tonight we will watch as Hurin checks off an item on his "Realms to Destroy" list.

Tonight we continue Hurin's long and depressing journey that Tolkien has chosen to spend a lot of time making longer and more depressing.

Tonight we approach the end of the Quenta. Again.

Does Turin come back from the dead and kill Morgoth? If so, who was his wingman?

Tonight we join Tolkien in his quest to answer questions about dwarves.

It is time now to turn to the revisions of the Quenta Silmarillion. So, what is this document again?

Tonight we will continue our discussion of the Quenya, focusing on Tolkien's depiction of the dwarves.

Tonight we should finish up our discussion of the Grey Annals.

Tonight we continue our discussion of the Grey Annals. Trigger warning: we'll be talking about Turin.

Let's join Tolkien in literary terrain he hasn't covered in 25 years: the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

What exactly does Tolkien think he is doing, writing the Annals?

As we begin discussion of Book 11, we look about us and remember where Tolkien is in his creative life in the 1950's.

Let's take a fresh look at "Of the Sindar," in its original frame.

It's time to finish Alice's Adventures. What do we see when Alice returns to the normal world?

Alice crosses the stream and becomes a queen, and the world goes mad.

Warning: The White Knight's song may cause tears. Or else it won't.
