Prophecy and foresight, the ability to scry into the future through one’s wisdom, are powerful abilities within Tolkien’s world of Middle-earth! Today, let’s examine some of the many instances of it and see what we can learn about it as a concept within Tolkien’s worldbuilding. Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts about this in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
