Another thing is that Tolkien was Cotholic and belived in God. He set the power/virtue/ability in middle earth with the kind of power found in the Bible. God's all powerful power, the angels power to do his will, and that Satan and his host use that power evily. If you think about it, they are very alike. Illuvitar being all knowing and all powerful, Aunir and Elves having the power given to them, And Melkor and his host using that power evily.

God does not use occultic power or magic, he uses his divine power and same with those under him. So to say that the LOTR has the occultic power/magic is very unrealistic.
