THE LORD OF THE RINGS

SHORT PLAY - AND GAIN GUIDANCE

Gandalf dedicated it may remain for a long time our friend

In “The hobbit” and in “The Lord of the Rings” J.R.R.Tolkien opened a far field for
mythischer symbolism, which one would not like to leave no more, if one entered it. The
master of the rings is the ark-typical narration of fight between property and bad, light
and darkness. The world is threatened by a powerful dark ruler, and who must overcome
free peoples of central earth their disputes and unite, in order to defeat its
intentions. Against it into the field to be led the enormous magic forces of the dark
ruler, army masses of savages Orks, enormous spider-like creatures, Daemonen and dragons.
The Elves, dwarves, hobbits and humans work together, in order to throw the one ring into
the flames of the fate mountain.
For thirteen years Tolkien wrote “The Lord of the rings”, to a continuation of “The
Hobbit”, in which a hobbit is entangled into the magic adventure of a troop of dwarves,
that want to remove its treasure from the dragon Smaug. Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit, meets
a creature named Gollum, which lives in caves under the mountains at an underground lake.
Gollum challenges Bilbo to a riddles contest, and during their guessing, a small ring
puts itself on Bilbo’s finger, which he found in the cave. The ring makes him invisible,
and so he can escape from Gollum’s cave. This is only one of many strange characteristics
of the ring. But “The Hobbit” ends when Bilbo returns to the Shire, its homeland, where
he takes up again his geruhsames life.
“The Lord of the Rings” begins where the hobbit finished and ploetylich becomes
clear that it has more to do with the ring still on itself, than Bilbo knew. The ring
lends to its carrier large power, but it has its own will and tried constantly, to its
creator zuruechzukehren, to Sauron, the dark ruler of Mordor. A community with
representatives of the different peoples is formed, in order to break the strength of the
ring. It must be thrown at the Mount Doom, where it was forged, in the volcanic fire, so
that the world becomes free of its power. On the way dorghin our adventurers must insist
many NOT and dangers, achieve however, although it in such a way looks for a long time,
as if they do not have a chance, at the end their target.
Everyone will find something else in such a history. In this play, which was
formulated according to the traditional rules of the Tarot, we meet both the mental
tradition of the Tarot and the world of central earth with deep respect: Both spheres are
vermaehlt together in peculiar way. But we went also a step beyond it and have at the
same time of a game meant which one with these cards play can. After old Bardensitte make
we thereby an affair the pleasure, which could become otherwise perhaps all too
seriously, academic or esoterisch. Thus we mean Gandalf, us quite would give. We made one
actual from three realms, a king play. As it is written: “Three rings for the Elven
kings...”

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

Tolkien originally wrote “The Hobbit” to his own pleasure and read out to his three
sons from it, still before the history was finished. We can regard the work as a fairy
tale, but escapes then us somewhat to it. In truth Tolkien assembled in enormous mosaic.
In “The hobbit”, in “The Lord of the Rings” and particularly in “The Silmarillion” he
tells a symbolic history of the universe, with many mirror-image-ritual teachings also
for our daily life.
We experienced, like a small group of creatures, everyone together of other type
and history, but faithfully holding, a tremendous enemy overcomes, whose instruments of
power and magic forces are far larger than theirs. By their persistence, probity and
sacrifice for this thing they will protect the future of the free people when all
difficulties finished. In the end he sails towards the west, to the holly realm, where
they live together with the Gods.
It is said that mankind can be divided in two: those which read Tolkien’s books,
and others, which will still read them. And everyone of us, which read it, will win other
insights from it at other times. Who will find new impressions and realizations to the
hobbit, which Lord of the rings and the Silmarillion read already once and her now for
the second time make, therein. Those who does not know it yet, will perhaps first
hesitate a little, to be in on a such an enormous adventure, once permitted,
nevertheless, before we such a journey begin, should we ask ourselves, what we expect
from it. Some read these stories as parabolas, some read it as maintenance; and actually
no serious contradiction exists between these two experiencing ways.
Probably the most important shape in the narrations is the Zauberer Gandalf, which
protects, leads and advises the free peoples, in order to combine them against the dark
Lord of Mordor. The name Gandalf originates from the older Edda, a collection of
altislaendischser songs from Gods and Daemonen, and means sinng

MEDITATIONEN
In master of the rings we find a rich treasure of Syimbolen, over which we can
meditieren. The sense of the Meditation is to learn how we can keep still our thoughts,
in order to open the gates, by the deeper realizations in us to einstroemmen. Tarot,
particularly in connection with the symbolism from Tolkiens world, is very effective for
such purposes. The ark types (the figures in the narration) are strongly enough to lead
us to a deeper understanding of our life. To the Meditation you do not have to take a
certain seat attitude. It is sufficient, if you breathe deeply deeply. Let your heading
of all present problems become free. After few minutes - which should be shortened - to
leave however not impatient you for example Gandalf before your internal eye to step.
What would he say to you? Where would it lead you? Later you can?aufrufen then the
pictures Frodos, Galadriels, Samugs etc. in itself?. With this form of the Meditation you
make a?Reise in the reason?, your fantasy in motion brings and probably a light on your
past throws, which illuminates also your present and future. Try it! The master of the
rings gives us many pointers on psychological techniques, which we can use. For example
the scene, where Saruman demonstrates its aura Gandalf - she changed from white to
schillernder multicolorness. This is one for us all applicable technique: We concentrate
to radiate a certain colour ago around us! Bring in your personal aura different colours
out. If you do not know to thus begin next time anything with itself, then you are
around, do not only separate radiate you a colour or let you a certain colour into itself
flow! How said, you try it!

future. 8 family lives. 9 hopes or fears. 10 highlights, or another affair. The tenth

the ring possession is with the dark ones.) - that, which is at the end of the round of
the ring carriers. Note: If several have the highest or lowest as a user with one of
these valuations punktzyhl, then everyone of them receives the full 5 points of victory.
Additionally those fellow players receive for each to 5-Siegpunkte, which has most or few

card impact and put uncovered into the center. This card is for the ring, which the group
wants to bring to the fate mountain and destroy there. 2. Any user outputs the cards,
about 30 coins or counters is for everyone attainable to be laid out. They mean dark
points. The Austeilende gives sieved cards to each fellow player. In the second and third
round its cards sight all fellow player and select two, in order to pass it on to another
player. (viz. the following statements.) First round no cards are passed on. Second round
of everyone passes two cards on to the fellow player left from it. Third round of
everyone passes two cards on to the fellow player on the right from it. 3. The Austeiler
takes now the highest card of the remainder batch and puts it uncovered beside the batch,
when beginning of the travel batch of the users stores left from the Austeiler as the
first - and so on in the clockwise direction. During the play the users can decide
whether they want itself with Gandalf and the free peoples or with Saurons dark powers
networks. The users in the group of free peoples will out-play as many free people cards
as possible, on the other hand dark points (viz. P. 34-35) to avoid will look up. Who
allies itself with Sauron, so many dark outlawing cards will out-play and as many dark
points will collect as possible. After the first view into his page each player will have
an impression of it, whether he wants to rather hold it with the free ones or with the
dark ones, but can he in the course of the play the alliance change. The neutral cards
are explained with the placing for either freely or darkly.

The play Who at the play is, has four possibilities for the selection: 1. One stores a
card from its page on the travel batch, which is either from same colour or from same
rank as the highest card on this batch. 2. One stores a large Arkanen card on the ring.
3. One takes up a card of the remainder batch and stores then a card as after the
Puenkten 1 or 2. 4. One takes up a card of the remainder batch and decides then to store
no card on the travel batch or the ring. The placing on the travel batch brings the group
more near to its target, to the fate mountain, where the ring is to be destroyed. The
placing on the ring determines, which page controls the ring, i.e. either the free
peoples or dark powers; who stores a card on the ring, becomes thereby the ring carrier.

1. One stores a card from its page on the travel batch, which is either from same colour
or from same rank as the highest card on this batch. Example: The highest card is the two
of the cups: To be stored each two or each cup card can do. The large Arkanen is more?
Joker?; the fellow players can announce at each time a large Arkanum on the travel batch
placing and a new colour. The next stored card must be then by this colour or again a
large Arkanum. Example: On the king of the staffs the moderateness is stored. The player
says?Muenzen? as new colour on. Next each coin card or a large Arkanum can be stored. If
equal the first card on the travel batch is a large Arkanum, the Austeiler announces the
colour, those the first fellow player to serve must (swords, staffs, cups or coins).
Note: If on the travel batch a large Arkanum is situated zuoberst, on it a small Arkanum
can be stored, if it has the same rank number as the large Arkanum. This applies only to
the large Arkanen with the rank numbers I-IX. Example: The Herrscherin (III) is situated
above: To be stored each three or another large Arkanum can do. However if the hanging is
situated on the travel batch (large Arkanum XII) above and as new colour cups is
announced, the next player knows any cup card or a large Arkanum placing. To the large
Arkanen above the rank number IX it does not apply in this play correspondence both small
Arkanen. The yard cards do not have a rank number.

2. One stores a large Arkanen card on the ring. The large Arkanen can be stored on the
ring, in order to attain the check of the ring. The rank of the card stored on the ring
must be higher than the rank of the last card stored on it. Example: On the ring the
Hierophant (V) is. each large Arkanum above V (5) can now on the ring be stored.
Exceptions: The ring, although a large Arkanum is, in this play outside of the
consequence of the rank numbers. The first card stored on the ring can be therefore by
any rank, the fool, although the lowest large Arkanum (0) can, on every other large
Arkanum on the ring is stored. Since all other large Arkanen is struggle-higher than the
fool (0), afterwards each large Arkanum on the fools can be stored. If a user a large
Arkanum on the ring stores, he must immediately take up a card of the remainder batch, in
order to replace the large Arkanum. (even if the stored card were its the latter, it must
take up and is not thus yet?aus?.) As one ring carriers becomes: Who stores a large
Arkanum on the ring, the honour attains to become the ring carrier of the group and puts
the ring with the large Arkanum on it before itself puts down. This fellow player is now
the wackere traveler, who the ring to the fate mountain to bring is. Who at the end of
the round of the ring carriers is, receives 5 points of victory. Additionally the ring
carrier, as soon as it is in turn, may add or from it take off every other player (and
itself) ever one dark point to its account. Before every other measure the ring carrier
announces, which fellow player more or less receives one dark point. (dark point taken
away from a fellow player may not do another given, a fellow player more given may not
from another be taken away.)

3. One takes up a card of the remainder batch and stores then a card as after the
Puenkten 1 or 2. To forget not: Everyone, which a large Arkanum stores on the ring, must
take up for it another card of the remainder batch. If one takes up thus a card and then
a large Arkanum on the ring stores, one must take up still another further card.

4. One takes up a card of the remainder batch and decides then to store no card on the
travel batch or the ring (if it of the cards, which it has now on the hand, no placings
can or wants).

Dark points During the round the players receive dark points (to the counting should be
used during each round coins or counters). They symbolize, to what extent each fellow
player is influenced by Sauron or dark powers. Dark points can be acquired in the
following four ways: 1. By placings of a dark outlawing card or a one for darkly
explained neutral card on the travel batch: 2 dark points. 2. By placings of a large dark
power Arkanums or one for darkly explained neutral Arkanums on the ring: 3 dark points.
3. Each dark outlawing card and everyone for darkly explained neutral card, which the
user in the end of the round has still on the hand: ever 1 dark point. 4. Each time, if
the ring carrier comes to the series, it (or it) can remove or assign 1 dark point from
each fellow player (also itself). At the end of each round all fellow players enter the
total of their dark points on the point list and begin the next round with zero dark
points.

Termination of a round If a player has only a card on the hand, should he for the warning
of the others?ein ring? announce. (on omitting the warning is no punishment.) The round
ends, if a fellow player?aus? is, i.e. his last card on the travel batch stored. If the
remainder batch is exhausted before a fellow player all cards stored, does the round end,
without for?Aus? Points of victory to be assigned. All other points of victory are
normally assigned nevertheless as. If a user in the end of the round has still more than
seven cards on the hand, he does not receive points of victory. Its dark points from this
round are added however to those from the other rounds.

Point valuation Who stored first all cards, the best leader is in the group he receives
10 points of victory, because he found the shortest way to the fate mountain for the
group. Who at the end of the round ring carrier is, much courage proved; otherwise it
would not have so far brought the ring. It receives 5 points of victory for bravery. The
user with most dark points, was influenced by dark powers and with them in the fight
against the free peoples common cause made. It receives 5 points of victory from Sauron,
to the wages for its loyalty. It receives further 5 points of victory, if on the ring
because of the end a dark outlawing card is to the round - a bonus, which Sauron grants
it, because he protected the ring the destruction. On the point valuation elbow this
appears in the column?Ringbesitz?. The user with the few dark points remained for the
free peoples of central earth faithfully and receives as reward 5 points of victory from
Gandalf and good powers in central earth. It receives further 5 points of victory, if on
the ring because of the end a free people card is to the round - a bonus, which Gandalf
grants it, because he helped to destroy the ring at the fate mountain. Also this on the
point valuation elbow under?Ringbesitz?. The Dnkelpunkte of all fellow players is entered
after each round on the point valuation elbow. At the end of the play the user with the
haechsten sum total in dark points receives additionally 5 points of victory; the user
with the lowest total in dark points receives likewise zusaetslich 5 points of victory.
If more than one user have the highest or lowest sum total at dark points, then everyone
of them receives 5 points of victory. Then all points of victory from all rounds are
added, and the user with the highest total in points of victory won the portion. With the
play with only two users it is to be noted that the output of the portion depends
completely on who first?aus? it is who the ring carrier is and which party has the ring
at the end in possession, because each player receives the points of victory then
automatically for the fact that he acquired either most or few the dark points.
