Why is 🧝Galadriel barefoot?

[Furrexxx]

So, any reasons why Galadriel barefoot?

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

I just assumed since she lived in the forest and assuming the ground was soft from the dirt and leaves it was just comfy for her, made her feel more “connected” if that makes sense

 

[Deimos]

Bunions, corns, hammer toe....

 

[Sword&Sorcery]

It is a common practice in magick to remove any clothing and/or objects that may hinder the connection to the intelligences of this world, bare feet or shaving one’s head are just a couple of examples.

Some houses even had roofing removed for this very reason. The materials above them are an unnecessary obstruction. The chances of a rituals success when performed indoors is improved, and practitioners can better direct their magick.

In Galadriels case, it is a connection to the elemental energies inherent in Arda. Her power is directly linked to the elements of nature and the Divine energies behind them. She is “grounded” as we say in Ceremonial Magick. Her links to the sphere of Malkuth and the physical world are apparent in Lothlórien. As a witch, her ability to manifest in the physical plane relies heavily on this principle.

I don't think she was barefoot in the books.

Not complicate things, but I don't think that's the case. Nimrodel was from Lorién as well but in the song Legolas songs about her, there's something about her shoes mentioned there.

I think it's more of a Noldor thing if she indeed was barefoot. Idril Celebrindal was named thus because she liked to walk barefoot across the streets of Gondolin.

In books she was not barefoot?

In books she was not barefoot?

I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not.

In your opinion what three reasons can be why she walk barefoot in Dol Guldur?

But she also walk barefoot in Dol Guldur

 

[Sword&Sorcery]

To elaborate, she is barefoot in Peter Jackson’s films. The books do not mention her feet and shoes specifically, only that she was “clad in white” etc.

It is therefore an aesthetic choice for the big screen to reflect Galadriels affiliation with nature and the magickal principles I described earlier.

It is worth noting that this visual arouses religious connotations also, as robes and barefeet often occur in art depicting goddesses and angelic beings.

Bunions, corns, hammer toe....

Hm?

 

[Deimos]

Hm?

That's why she's barefoot.....'cause her corns and bunions and hammer toe hurt if she wears her Doc Martens.

 

[Furrexxx]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not.

But in Jackson verse?

Wut?

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

But in Jackson verse?

She was barefoot there. I don't know if Jackson has said why.

But how you think

 

[Tyelkormo the Fair]

But how you think

I did say what I think about it.

I think it's more of a Noldor thing if she indeed was barefoot. Idril Celebrindal was named thus because she liked to walk barefoot across the streets of Gondolin.

But rocks, dirt and shards?

But what if she step on rocks or shards?

 

[Deimos]

If elven

But what if she step on rocks or shards?

If elven feetses tread so lightly that they make no impression on new fallen snow (and we know they don't because Legolas' walked on top of the snow) then Galadriel's feetses would not press down with any weight on rocks or shards or empty sardine tins; meaning she would sustain no injuries to her feetses no matter what she walked on, except maybe on rice paper..... but then, if Grasshopper could do it, she could surely do it, and better.
