wow, I read your link and thats a good point. It had previously occured to me, but never in such depth and logic! when you look at those passages it certainly does suggest that Tom is a part of the earth...
But then what is the old forest? If tom WERE Ea, then surely:
a) his power would stretch all over the world, not just the old forest
b) he would not be content with just staying in one part of the world, I would have thought that he would wander the earth
and also, what would Old man Willow be? I have heard talk that Old man Willow (OMW) is Melkor but I disagree, and soon I hope to post a topic on here discussing old man willow. But if tome were Ea, what would OMW be? space?
No, I dont believe that Tom B is earth, there's too much to suggest against it.
