melian

Beside the magical prowess of her daughter Lúthien, is there any mention of anyone in her line showing powers alike to her?

Did the girdle prevented the entry of intruders physically (as in was there a force that prevented intrusion),or mentally?(similar to how Melian entranced Elwë upon their first meeting)

Did she remember Elwë from his visit to Valinor and seek him out on the march? Was she performing some task for Yavanna? I’m just wondering if there is any official reason for her being in Nan Elmoth at the time she and Elwë fell in love...

Melian and Olorin and discussed side by side at the close of the Maia section of the Valaquenta. I'm finally reading through The Children of Hurin and it is interesting, like Gandalf Melian is a Maia who is the wisest character in the story, she senses what the Enemies true intent is and...

I would say on the whole they're good - but Thingol became quite a jerk in his later years, and Melian while nice, used magic on Thingol to woo him - that seems kinda wrong to me, though im sure Thingol was happy cuz im sure Melian was a total babe lol

After a long discussion with Eriol some time ago over the free will of the creatures of Arda, something that came up in the discussion was the 'raiment of the Valar', and that they did not clothe themselves with physical matter, and the only Ainur that ever did so was Melkor, the Úmaiar...

MELIAN (Tindriel, Wendelin) Among Tolkien’s characters, few combine as much charm, lore and mystery as Melian. Unique and controversial, she is the only Spirit of the Kindred of Valar who had actual political power in Middle-earth; the only Maia to marry a Child of Eru and give birth...

Ok first of all, when elves die they become reincarnated in the Halls of Mandos, to await the last battle (obviously). I can't remember where it says this, but it says somewhere that Melian's grief was the worst grief an Ainur has experienced. If she returned to Valinor after the death of...

I've been asked to take over this discussion in the absence of Elu Thingol. A rather short chapter - but a beautiful one. Here are somethings that struck me. Is this the beginning of a Nightingale motive? It seems they play large part in the theme of lovers meeting in the woods. Melian and...

I have observed that many actions of Valar and Maiar during the first age had infuences that last through the third age but those of Melian are unique (I wont tell why I think this yet :D). Was this meeting more than chance? Did Melian go into this with the intention of aiding the elves, or...

What do you think about the Istari incarnation?: *The same case as Melian? *They were incarnated in real bodies of men? *Their bodys were like the bodies of the Valar? Please remember this quote: "Melian alone of all those spirits assumed a bodily form, not only as a raiment but...
