What do you suppose the Star is? If you're not repelled by allegory, what does the Star represent? Or if you like Tolkien's terminology best, what applications adhere to the Star? The reason I ask is because of Kuruharan's wise comments (for a dwarf [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - no, honest, I really like dwarves - just kidding). Nobody has been able to do what Tolkien did, but is that what the Star stands for? Or is it the ability to just enter Faerie? And if so, how does one do it, besides reading LotR and other almost-as-good fantasy? Are there other ways? Can you and I have access to the Star? How special is it? And what does it have to do with parish and church (harking back to an earlier post)? I really, really, want to know if any of you have answers or at least speculations to these questions.
