Happy Birthday, JRR Tolkien!

Saturday January 3, 2009
While we all know that JRR Tolkien was not a Pagan or Wiccan, his work has definitely had a lot of influence on many people within the Pagan community. Today is the 117th anniversary of the Professor's birthday, so the Tolkien Society requests that you honor him with a drink in his name. To the man who brought us Hobbits and elves, Lothlorien and Mordor, Orcs and Ents, Goldberry and Treebeard, Strider and Bard the Bowman, Saruman and Smaug, A Birthday Toast.
