This oracle consists of three parts: the Ring, the map and the cards. Each section may be used independently, or in conjunction with each other. The Great Ring can be used as a pendulum, for specific "yes" or "no" questions. You can also use the ring to dowse, or cast it on the map: where it lands gives you the answer to your question. The map shows the realms of Middle Earth; the landscapes represent archetypal scenarios through which each of us pass at some point in our lives. The cards show the characters and scenes from the book. Spread the cards on the map and use the ring as a pendulum while you ask the Oracle your questions.

Not Bad, but not great

I would first off, like to start by saying I am a huge Tolkien fan as well as tarot card collector. When I came by this deck on sale at a book store, I new I had to buy it because I love The Lord of The Rings as well as divination. This deck is relatively good, especially for the small price I paid for it. It provides an interesting look into middle earth. The artwork on the cards are okay, not exactly breath taking, but even so it works fine.
The book provides pretty good describtions of the cards meanings, and works just fine for an orcale reading.

Some people say that Tolkien would not have approved of an orcale deck, being that he was a Catholic. Well I believe that is rubbish. If Tolkien wrote stories containing things such as wizardy and elf magic, I highly doubt he would be so intolerant of sometime like this. He wanted to create a legend, and this deck farther proves how influential Lord of the Rings is.
I do not recommand this to divination practicers who have not read or seen 'The Lord of The Rings'. Nor do I recommanded it to narrowminded people. If you are a Tolkien fan and you like orcale cards, this is a great set for you.

Don't waste your money, I'll give you mine.

I must confess that I have not read the oracle book that comes with this set, so I can't comment on it. I didn't bother to read it because I was completely turned off by the artwork of the cards themselves; terrible, terrible artwork. I am appalled that this set was even published and feel foolish for having purchased it. The cards themselves are nothing but amateur, unfinished sketches. As sketches they look like they show some little bit of promise, but the artist never went beyond the sketches to come up with a finished product. It literally looks like the publisher figured they had a week to put out a product that might possibly ride the coattails of the movies' success. Unfortunately, this product is only suitable for the roundfile.
