Re: where did bombadil came from

I don´t even think that Bombadil was &quot;born of woman&quot;, so to say. He is an enigma, but he probably is the embodiment of nature itself, just like Goldberry is the daughter of the river (what _could_ make her a Maia which Bombadil accordin to JRRT is not). And nature, or Éa, for which Tom could stand, is certainly the oldest life on Arda.
