Religio

Image
Varia symbola religiosa. Religio [1] (-onis, f. ) sive res divinae [1] (-rum, f.pl. ) est ordinata systematum opinionum, systematum culturae, cosmotheoriarumque congeries, quae humanitatem cum rebus sacris et aliquando moralitate coniungit. [note 1] Multis religionibus sunt mythologia, symbola, usus antiqui, et historiae sacrae quae significationem vitae dant vel originem mundi, originem vitae vel universi explicant. Ex notionibus cosmi et naturae humanae, religiones moralitatem, ethicas, leges religiosas, et modos vivendi antepositos deducere solent. Secundum nonnullas aestimationes, exstant in mundo hodierno circa 4200 religionum. [2] Theologia est scientia quae deos investigat. Religio autem ipsa modum scientiae non sequitur, et a scientia permaxime distincta est, quod nos requirit conclusiones comprobare quae in experimentis verificari non possunt. Qui deos non exsistere putent, et religionis fidem negent athei appellantur. Index 1 Etymologia 2 Religiones h...

What is the significance of Saruman's Ring?

Image
130 11 At the council of Elrond, Gandalf tells of his encounter with Saruman. But I rode to the foot of Orthanc, and came to the stair of Saruman; and there he met me and led me up to his high chamber. He wore a ring on his finger. Gandalf seems draw particular attention to Saruman's ring. Yet, to my knowledge, nothing more is ever said of his ring. We know that Saruman had a great deal of knowledge regarding the rings of power. Is there anything in Middle-earth lore that indicates if there was anything extraordinary about this ring? Was Saruman emulating Sauron? Or could the ring have been given to him by Sauron? the-lord-of-the-rings tolkiens-legendarium magical-items saruman share | impro...
