Reincarnation
 

Is there any mentioning of reincarnation in MI?

I've lived in MI most of my life and have never heard of any reincarnated beings.

I'm assuming you meant ME for Middle Earth.
Some elves are re-bodied after they die. The Dwarves had a belief that Durin, the eldest of their race was reborn several times, but this is not said to be a fact accepted by all other races. As for men, I don't know of any instance of one being reincarnated. I don't see how they could be, since they leave the world and pass out of time when they die.

The only man ever to be reincarnated was Beren.

there was glorifendel (sorry for butchering his name) could i repeat could have been. assuming the two people were one in the same. i personaly belive this but some people contest it

Gandalf was, in a way, reincarnated as Gandalf the White. And Elves are reincarnated in Madros when they die. So, yes, reincarnation is mentioned in ME. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You're right of course, Voronwe. Beren did die and then return. He never actually left the world, but his return would be a reincarnation the same as the elves who were rebodied.
