We couldn't leave Lothlórien without first explaining everything that lies behind the gifts that Galadriel gave to the Company. And what better way to do it than through Tolkien's prose. I hope you enjoy it. Remember that at https://truthofmyth.com you will have exclusive content as a thank you for supporting the channel. A channel NOT monetized for copyright reasons, but that in addition to time, also costs the money for the AI ​​tools used to make the voices and images. I thank you for all the support that the channel is receiving. Even though an AI will never have a human soul, there is a human behind this project putting his soul into each video. I just hope that you enjoy Tolkien's texts and that his beautiful message reaches deep into your hearts. I send you a hug.

These seemingly simple gifts have deep meaning. Gimli Galadriel gave Gimli three locks of her hair. Thousands of years ago, Fëanor asked for the same thing and was refused. Fëanor, driven by greed, did not receive the gift, but Gimli, with a pure heart and the intention of creating a jewel as a sign of friendship between dwarves and elves, did. This gesture symbolizes trust and goodwill. Aragorn Aragorn was given two gifts: an Elven scabbard to protect his sword and a green gem called an Elessar, mounted on a silver eagle-shaped brooch. The Elessar, a symbol of hope and beauty, foretells Aragorn's future marriage to Arwen and reinforces his role as leader and king. Frodo Galadriel gave Frodo a phial of the light of the star of Eärendil, which contains the light of a Silmaril. This phial symbolizes hope in times of darkness and plays a crucial role in moments of despair during his journey, especially against Shelob. Sam Sam was given a box of earth from Lothlórien, with which he restored the Shire's gardens devastated by the war. This gift, though seemingly modest, is a symbol of renewal and hope for the future of his home. Legolas Legolas was given a bow of the Galadrim, longer and stronger than his Mirkwood bow. This gift gives him an advantage in open combat and reinforces his skill as an archer. Boromir, Merry, and Pippin Boromir was given a golden girdle, and Merry and Pippin were given silver girdles with golden flower-shaped clasps. These girdles symbolize fidelity and strength, recalling the Fellowship's loyalty and commitment to their mission. Other Gifts from the Elves The Fellowship also received food (lembas), clothing, and Elven boats to sail the Anduin. Elven cloaks offered protection from the weather and helped with concealment. These practical gifts underline the Elves' support in their difficult mission. #lordoftherings #tolkien #fellowshipofthering
