Random thought: Is it possible that J.R.R. Tolkien was a jesuit or in the Shriners/Jesters? I'm starting to think the entire Bilbo ("Billiken" Baggins) + Lord of the Rings anthology is some sort of masonic metaphor.

A quick Google search reveals I'm not the first to speculate...

He obviously used a lot of Nose mythology, but what else? http://www.darkstar1.co.uk/ring.html

Quite the opposite. Tolkien was a member of the Inklings, a secret society that exposed these groups through allegory. If you're familiar with Freemasonry, you know there are two towers, Jachin and Boaz. You can start there, and have your mind blown progressively as you dig deeper into something like the Silmarillion and its veiled references to true history.

That actually makes more sense. I'll look in to it if I have time!
