As Frodo departs with his friend, gardener Samwise Gamgee, Gandalf rides to Isengard to meet with the wizard Saruman, but learns that he has joined forces with Sauron, who has dispatched his nine undead Nazgûl servants to find Frodo.

Frodo and Sam are joined by fellow hobbits Merry and Pippin, and they evade the Nazgûl before arriving in Bree, where they are meant to meet Gandalf. However, Gandalf never arrives, having been taken prisoner by Saruman. The hobbits are then aided by a Ranger named Strider, who promises to escort them to Rivendell; however, they are ambushed by the Nazgûl on Weathertop, and their leader, the Witch-King, stabs Frodo with a Morgul blade. Arwen, an elf and Strider's beloved, locates Strider and rescues Frodo, summoning flood-waters that sweep the Nazgûl away. She takes him to Rivendell, where he is healed by the elves. Frodo meets with Gandalf, who escaped Isengard with help from Gwaihir the Great Eagle by asking for him with a moth. That night, Strider reunites with Arwen, and they confirm their love for each other.

Arwen's father, Lord Elrond, realizes that both Sauron and Saruman are coming for the Ring and decides against keeping it in Rivendell for long. He holds a council of Elves, Men, and Dwarves, also attended by Frodo and Gandalf, that decides the Ring must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom. Frodo volunteers to take the Ring, accompanied by Gandalf, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Elf Legolas, Dwarf Gimli, Boromir of Gondor, and Strider, who is revealed to be Aragorn, Isildur's heir and the rightful King of Gondor. Collectively, they are known as the Fellowship Of The Ring. Bilbo, now living in Rivendell, gives Frodo his sword, Sting.

Awakening from a dream of Gandalf fighting the Balrog in Moria, Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee find themselves lost in the Emyn Muil near Mordor and discover they are being tracked by Gollum, a former bearer of the One Ring. Capturing Gollum, Frodo takes pity and allows him to guide them, reminding Sam that they will need Gollum's help to infiltrate Mordor.

Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli pursue a band of Uruk-hai to save their companions Merry and Pippin, entering the kingdom of Rohan. The Uruk-hai are ambushed by a group of Rohirrim, allowing the Hobbits to escape into Fangorn Forest. Meeting Aragorn's group, the Rohirrim's leader Éomer explains that he and his men have been exiled by Rohan's king, Théoden, who is under the control of Saruman and his servant Gríma Wormtongue. Éomer believes Merry and Pippin were killed during the raid, but leaves the group two horses. Searching for the Hobbits in Fangorn, Aragorn's group encounters Gandalf, who reveals that after his fight against the Balrog he was resurrected as Gandalf the White to help save Middle-earth.

Gandalf leads the trio to Rohan's capital, Edoras, where Gandalf frees Théoden from Saruman's control. Aragorn stops Théoden from executing Wormtongue, who flees. Learning of Saruman's plans to destroy Rohan with his Uruk-hai army, Théoden evacuates his citizens to the fortress of Helm's Deep. Gandalf departs to find Éomer and his followers, hoping they will fight for their restored king. Aragorn befriends Théoden's niece, Éowyn, who becomes infatuated with him. When the refugees travelling to Helm's Deep are attacked by Saruman's Warg-riding Orcs, Aragorn falls from a cliff and is presumed dead. He is revealed to have survived and rides to Helm's Deep, witnessing Saruman's army marching to the fortress.

In Rivendell, Arwen is told by her father Elrond that Aragorn will not return. He reminds her that if she remains in Middle-earth, she will outlive Aragorn by thousands of years, and she reluctantly departs for Valinor. Elrond is contacted by Galadriel of Lothlórien, who convinces him that the elves should honor their alliance to men, and they dispatch an army of elves to Helm's Deep.

In Fangorn, Merry and Pippin meet Treebeard, an Ent. Convincing Treebeard that they are allies, they are brought to an Ent Council, where the Ents decide not to take part in the coming war. Pippin asks Treebeard to take them in the direction of Isengard, where they witness the deforestation caused by Saruman's war effort. Enraged, Treebeard and the Ents overwhelm Isengard, trapping Saruman in his tower.

Aragorn arrives at Helm's Deep and reveals that Saruman's army is close and Théoden must prepare for battle, despite the overwhelming Uruk-hai numbers. The army of Elves from Lothlórien arrives, as does Saruman's army, and a night battle ensues. The Uruk-hai breach the outer wall with explosives and kill the elves' commander, Haldir. The defenders retreat into the keep, where Aragorn convinces Théoden to meet the Uruk-hai in one last charge. At dawn, as the defenders are overwhelmed, Gandalf and Éomer arrive with the Rohirrim, winning the battle. The surviving Uruk-hai flee into Fangorn Forest and are killed by the Ents. Gandalf warns that Sauron will retaliate.

>proves four paths

rest under three tall cedars. There is a tablet fastened to one of them which tells of four paths. An important point is that it's the Bridegroom (Bible) that is offering these paths. It reads as follows:

By us the Bridegroom offers you a choice between four ways, all of which, if you do not sink down in the way, can bring you to his royal court. The first is short but dangerous, and one which will lead you into rocky places, through which it will scarcely be possible to pass. The second is longer, and takes you circuitously; it is plain and easy, if by the help of the Magnet you turn neither to left nor right. The third is that truly royal way which through various pleasures and pageants of our King, affords you a joyful journey; but this so far has scarcely been allotted to one in a thousand. By the fourth no man shall reach the place, because it is a consuming way, practicable only for incorruptible bodies. Choose now which one you will of the three, and persevere constantly therein, for know whichever you will enter, that is the one destined for you by immutable Fate, nor can you go back in it save at great peril to life.

The first path leads to rocky places and this is reminiscent of Peter, "the rock" as he's portrayed in the synoptic gospels. The second path in the text is the path taught in John's gospel, as CRC is told not to turn to the left or right on this path and John's is the only account not to mention two men crucified to the right and to the left of Jesus while on the cross as thieves (John 20:18). The third path would be the general letters of Peter, James, Jude, and John. In the letter of James we find reference to the royal way or royal law (Jas 2:8). In the second letter of Peter we find the only reference to one in a thousand (II Pet 3:8). The fourth path is the letters of Paul. This is where one finds the teaching of the dead raised incorruptible (I Cor 15:52), and the only place that the word "consuming" appears in the New Testament (Heb 12:29).

The story then continues, Whereupon I presently drew out my bread and cut a slice of it. It shouldn't go unnoticed that, after reading this tablet, CRC cuts the bread. Symbol XXIV of the symbols of Pythagoras indicates "Never break the bread". Bread is broken in the gospels of Mark, Luke, and Matthew; however bread is never broken in John's gospel. Bread is also broken in the letters of Paul and the Book of Acts; however bread is never broken in the general letters of Peter, James, Jude and John.

As the story proceeds it's evident that CRC took the second path with the following words, yet I still proceeded with my compass, and would not budge one step from the Meridian Line. Meaning that CRC didn't turn to the left or right. It's also noteworthy that CRC says, "I patiently took up my cross, got up onto my feet". Only in John's gospel did Jesus bear the cross. It was Simon of Cyrene who bore the cross for Jesus in Mark, Luke and Matthew's gospels. But at the same time in Mark's gospel Jesus offered a man "take up the cross, and follow me"(Mark 10:21).

The Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (CRC) first appeared in Strasbourg in the year 1616. It was written in German and entitled Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459. No author was named in the book, other than Christian Rosenkreutz (henceforth CRC), but Johannes Valentinus Andreae (1586–1654) claimed to be the author, in his autobiography. First English version appeared in 1690, by Ezechiel Foxcroft, followed by translations into many languages throughout time.

Although the book first appeared in 1616, the story takes place over 150 years earlier. The events of this story span seven days and are divided into seven chapters, each chapter relating a different day. The story begins on an evening near Easter. In the final chapter—the seventh day—CRC is knighted; the year is 1459. It was on Easter-day 1459 that the Constitutions of the Freemasons of Strasburg was first signed in Regensburg, with a second signed shortly afterwards in Strasburg. The Gutenberg Bible began printing in Mainz, Germany in 1455, and the first Bible in German, the Mentel Bible, was printed in Strasburg in 1466.

The story follows the Passover and the seven days of unleavened bread exactly. The slaughtering and roasting of the Paschal lamb begins in the evening (near Easter), as does The Chymical Wedding. The Chymical Wedding begins in the evening with CRC sitting at a table with both the Paschal Lamb and the unleavened bread. This would seem to indicate that CRC was Jewish. However, the words "Father of Lights" are curiously in the first paragraph. This phrase, "Father of Lights" appears only once in the King James Bible and it is in the book of James (Jas 1:17). Below is the opening paragraph of The Chymical Wedding;

On an Evening before Easter-Day, I sate at a Table, and having (as my Custom was) in my humble Prayer sufficiently conversed with my Creator, and considered many great Mysteries (whereof the Father of Lights his Majesty had shewn me not a few) and being now ready to prepare in my Heart, together with my dear Paschal Lamb, a small unleavened, undefiled Cake;

Gollum leads Frodo and Sam through the Dead Marshes to the Black Gate, but recommends they enter Mordor by another route. Frodo and Sam are captured by Rangers of Ithilien led by Faramir, brother of the late Boromir. Frodo helps Faramir catch Gollum to save him from being killed by the Rangers. Learning of the One Ring, Faramir takes his captives to Gondor to bring the ring to his father Denethor. Passing through the besieged Gondorian city of Osgiliath, Frodo tries to explain to Faramir the true nature of the ring, and Sam explains that Boromir was driven mad by its power. A Nazgûl nearly captures Frodo, who falls under the ring's power and momentarily attacks Sam, who reminds him that they are fighting for the good still left in Middle-earth. Impressed by Frodo's resolve, Faramir releases them. Gollum decides to betray Frodo and reclaim the Ring by leading the group to "Her" upon arriving at Cirith Ungol.

Centuries later, during the War of the Ring, Gandalf leads Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and King Théoden to Isengard, where they reunite with Merry and Pippin. The group subsequently confront Saruman at his tower, where Théoden attempts to implore his treacherous servant Gríma Wormtongue in rebelling against Saruman. When Saruman dismisses this and hits Wormtongue, the latter responds by stabbing Saruman until Legolas kills Wormtongue by firing a bow at him; Saruman then dies when he falls off his tower to his death (all of Saruman's scene is solely in the Extended Edition). Shortly afterwards, Gandalf retrieves Saruman's palantír and the group leaves Isengard to continue their journey. Pippin soon looks into the seeing-stone and is seen by Sauron. From Pippin's description of his visions, Gandalf surmises that Sauron will attack Gondor's capital Minas Tirith. He rides there to warn Gondor's steward Denethor, taking Pippin with him.

Gollum leads Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee to Minas Morgul, where they watch the Witch-king of Angmar, leader of the nine Nazgûl, lead an army of Orcs towards Gondor. The hobbits begin climbing a stair carved in the cliff face that leads to a secret tunnel into Mordor, unaware that Gollum plans to kill them and take the Ring. The Witch-king and his forces strike and overwhelm Osgiliath, forcing Faramir and his garrison to retreat to Minas Tirith.

The nine Lords are nine books of the New Testament, I Peter, II Peter, James, Jude, I John, II John, III John, the Gospel of John, and the Revelation. CRC believed that the Gospel of John is the only gospel that is historically plausible, and that it is the unleavened bread and its relationship to the Passover that truly divides John's gospel from the synoptic Gospels. The nine lords were bound together with the rest that were at the table (27 total) and CRC cried.

There remained nine of us, and among the rest he who discoursed with me at the table too. But although our small tapers did not leave us, yet soon after an hour's time one of the aforementioned pages came in, and, bringing a great bundle of cords with him, first demanded of us whether we had concluded to stay there; when we had affirmed this with sighs, he bound each of us in a particular place, and so went away with our small tapers, and left us poor wretches in darkness. Then some first began to perceive the imminent danger, and I myself could not refrain from tears. For although we were not forbidden to speak, yet anguish and affliction allowed none of us to utter one word. For the cords were so wonderfully made that none could cut them, much less get them off his feet. Yet this comforted me, that still the future gain of many a one who had now taken himself to rest, would prove very little to his satisfaction.

Gollum disposes of the Hobbits' food, blaming Sam. Believing that Sam desires the Ring, Frodo tells him to go home before he and Gollum continue to the tunnel leading to Mordor. Gollum tricks him into venturing into the lair of the giant spider Shelob. Frodo narrowly escapes and confronts Gollum, telling him that he must destroy the Ring for both their sakes. Gollum attacks Frodo but falls down a chasm. Frodo continues on, but Shelob discovers, paralyses, and binds him. Sam returns and injures Shelob, driving her away, but then hides as Orcs appear and take Frodo with them. The Orcs prepare to execute Frodo, but they end up fighting each other over ownership of Frodo's mithril; the distraction allows Sam to rescue Frodo, and they escape before going on to continue their journey.

As King Théoden gathers the Rohirrim army, Aragorn learns from Elrond that Arwen is dying, having refused to leave Middle Earth to be with Aragorn after seeing a vision of their future son. Arwen convinced a reluctant Elrond to order the shards of King Elendil's sword, Narsil, be reforged into Andúril so that Aragorn can reclaim his birthright and gain reinforcements from the ghostly Dead Men of Dunharrow. Joined by Legolas and Gimli, Aragorn travels to the Dead Men's lair, pledging to release them from Isildur's undead curse should they come to Gondor's aid.

Faramir is gravely wounded after a futile effort to recapture Osgiliath; believing his son to be dead, Denethor falls into madness. Gandalf is left to defend the city against the Orc army, led by Gothmog. As Gothmog's army forces its way into the city, Denethor attempts to kill himself and Faramir on a pyre. Pippin alerts Gandalf and they save Faramir, but a burning Denethor leaps to his death from the top of Minas Tirith just before Théoden and his nephew, Éomer, arrive with the Rohirrim. During the ensuing battle, they are overwhelmed by the Oliphaunt-riding Haradrim and the Witch-King mortally wounds Théoden. Just as the Witch-king prepares to finish Théoden off, his niece Éowyn battles and manages to kill the Witch-king with Merry's help; Éowyn subsequently tends to Théoden afterwards and they bid each farewell before Théoden dies in front of his niece. Aragorn then arrives with the Army of the Dead, who overcome Sauron's forces and win the battle; afterwards, Aragorn frees the Dead Men from their curse.

Page 1The First Dayn an evening before Easter Day, I sat at a table, and having (asmy custom was) in my humble prayer sufficiently conversedwith my Creator, and considered many great mysteries (whereofthe Father of Lights his Majesty had shown me not a few) andbeing now ready to prepare in my heart, together with my dear PaschalLamb, a small, unleavened, undefiled cake; all of a sudden arose so horriblea tempest, that I imagined no other but that through its mighty force, thehill on which my little house was founded would fly into pieces.But inasmuch as this, and the like from the Devil (who had done memany a spite) was no new thing to me, I took courage, and persisted in mymeditation, till somebody in an unusual manner touched me on the back;whereupon I was so hugely terrified, that I dared hardly look about me; yetI showed myself as cheerful as (in such occurrences) human frailty wouldpermit. Now the same thing still twitching me several times by the coat, Ilooked back, and behold it was a fair and glorious lady, whose garmentswere all sky-coloured, and curiously (like Heaven) bespangled with goldenstars; in her right hand she bore a trumpet of beaten gold, on which aName was engraved which I could well read but am as yet forbidden toreveal it. In her left hand she had a great bundle of letters of all languages,which she (as I afterwards understood) was to carry to all countries. Shealso had large and beautiful wings, full of eyes throughout, with which shecould mount aloft, and fly swifter than any eagle. I might perhaps have been able to take further notice of her, but becauseshe stayed so little time with me, and terror and amazement still possessedme, I had to be content. For as soon as I turned about, she turned her let-ters over and over, and at length drew out a small one, which with greatreverence she laid down upon the table, and without giving one word,departed from me. But in her mounting upward, she gave so mighty a blaston her gallant trumpet, that the whole hill echoed from it, and for a fullquarter of an hour after, I could hardly hear my own words. In so unlooked for an adventure I was at a loss, how either to advise or toassist my poor self, and therefore fell upon my knees and besought my Cre-ator to permit nothing contrary to my eternal happiness to befall me.Whereupon with fear and trembling, I went to the letter, which was nowso heavy, that had it been mere gold it could hardly have been so weighty.Now as I was diligently viewing it, I found a little seal, on which a curiouscross with this inscription, IN HOC SIGNO VINCES, was engraved. O

>>11811659

Page 2Now as soon as I espied this sign I was the more comforted, as not beingignorant that such a seal was little acceptable, and much less useful, to theDevil. Whereupon I tenderly opened the letter, and within it, in an azurefield, in golden letters, found the following verses written.This day, today Is the Royal Wedding day. For this thou wast born And chosen of God for joy Thou mayest go to the mountain Whereon three temples stand, And see there this affair. Keep watch Inspect thyself And shouldst thou not bathe thoroughly The Wedding may work thy bane. Bane comes to him who faileth here Let him beware who is too light.Below was written: Sponsus and Sponsa.As soon as I had read this letter, I was presently like to have fainted away,all my hair stood on end, and a cold sweat tricked down my whole body.For although I well perceived that this was the appointed wedding, ofwhich seven years before I was acquainted in a bodily vision, and whichnow for so long a time I had with great earnestness awaited, and whichlastly, by the account and calculation of the planets, I had most diligentlyobserved, I found so to be, yet could I never foresee that it must happenunder such grievous perilous conditions. For whereas I before imagined,that to be a welcome and acceptable guest, I needed only to be ready toappear at the wedding, I was now directed to Divine Providence, of whichuntil this time I was never certain. I also found by myself, the more I examined my self, that in my headthere was nothing but gross misunderstanding, and blindness in mysteriousthings, so that I was not able to comprehend even those things which layunder my feet, and which I daily conversed with, much less that I should beborn to the searching out and understanding of the secrets of Nature, sincein my opinion Nature might everywhere find a more virtuous disciple, towhom to entrust her precious, though temporary and changeable, treasures.

>>11811665

Page 3I found also that my bodily behaviour, and outward good conversation,and brotherly love towards my neighbour, was not duly purged andcleansed. Moreover the tickling of the flesh manifested itself, whose affec-tion was bent only to pomp and bravery, and worldly pride, and not to thegood of mankind: and I was always contriving how by this art I might in ashort time abundantly increase my profit and advantage, rear up stately pal-aces, make myself an everlasting name in the world, and other similar carnaldesigns. But the obscure words concerning the three temples particularlyafflicted me, which I was not able to make out by any after-speculation, andperhaps should not have done so yet, had they not been wonderfullyrevealed to me. Thus stuck between hope and fear, examining my self again and again,and finding only my own frailty and impotence, not being in any way ableto succour myself, and exceedingly amazed at the fore mentioned threaten-ing, at length I betook myself to my usual and most secure course - after Ihad finished my earnest and most fervent prayer, I laid myself down in mybed, so that perchance my good angel by the Divine permission mightappear, and (as it had sometimes formerly happened) instruct me in thisdoubtful affair. Which to the praise of God, my own good, and my neigh-bours’ faithful and hearty warning and amendment, did now likewise comeabout. For I was yet scarcely fallen asleep, when I thought that I, together withan innumerable multitude of men, lay fettered with great chains in a darkdungeon, in which, without the least glimpse of light, we swarmed likebees one over another, and thus rendered each other’s affliction more griev-ous. But although neither I nor any of the rest could see one jot, yet I con-tinually heard one heaving himself above the other, when his chains andfetters had become ever so slightly lighter, though none of us had muchreason to shove up above the other, since we were all captive wretches. Now when I with the rest had continued a good while in this affliction,and each was still reproaching the other with his blindness and captivity, atlength we heard many trumpets sounding together and kettle drums beat-ing in such a masterly fashion, that it even revived us in our calamity andmade us rejoice. During this noise the cover of the dungeon was lifted up from above,and a little light let down to us. Then first might truly have been discernedthe bustle we kept, for all went pell-mell, and he who perchance hadheaved himself up too much, was forced down again under the others’ feet.In brief, each one strove to be uppermost. Neither did I

Page 4with my weighty fetters slipped up from under the rest, and then heavedmyself upon a stone, which I laid hold of; howbeit, I was caught at severaltimes by others, from whom yet as well as I might, I still guarded myselfwith hands and feet. For we imagined no other but that we should all be setat liberty, which yet fell out quite otherwise. For after the nobles who looked upon us from above through the holehad recreated themselves a while with our struggling and lamenting, a cer-tain hoary-headed ancient man called to us to be quiet, and having scarcelyobtained this, began (as I still remember) to speak on thus:If the poor human race We r e n o t s o a r r o g a n t It would have been given much good From my mother’s heritage, But because the human race will not take heed It lies in such straits And must be held in prison. And yet my dearest mother Will not regard their mischief, She leaves her lovely gifts That many a man might come to the light, Though this may chance but seldom That they be better prized Nor reckoned as mere fable.Therefore in honour of the feast Which we shall hold today, That her grace may be multiplied A good work will she do: The rope will now be lowered Whoever may hang on to it He shall be freed.He had scarcely finished speaking when an ancient matron commandedher servants to let down the cord seven times into the dungeon, and drawup whosoever could hang upon it. Good God! that I could sufficientlydescribe the hurry and disquiet that then arose amongst us; for everyonestrove to get to the cord, and yet only hindered each other. But after seven

>>11811703

Page 5minutes a sign was given by a little bell, whereupon at the first pull the ser-vants drew up four. At that time I could not get very near the cord, having(as is before mentioned) to my huge misfortune, betaken myself to a stoneat the wall of the dungeon; and thereby I was made unable to get to thecord which descended in the middle. The cord was let down the second time, but many, because their chainswere too heavy, and their hands too tender, could not keep their hold onthe cord, but with themselves beat down many another who else perhapsmight have held fast enough; nay, many a one was forcibly pulled off byanother, who yet could not himself get at it, so mutually envious were weeven in this our great misery. But they of all others most moved my compassion whose weight was soheavy that they tore their very hands from their bodies, and yet could notget up. Thus it came to pass that at those five times very few were drawnup. For as soon as the sign was given, the servants were so nimble at draw-ing the cord up, that the most part tumbled one upon another, and thecord, this time especially, was drawn up very empty.Whereupon the greatest part, and even I myself, despaired of redemp-tion, and called upon God that he would have pity on us, and (if possible)deliver us out of this obscurity; who then also heard some of us. For whenthe cord came down the sixth time, some of them hung themselves fastupon it; and whilst being drawn up, the cord swung from one side to theother, and (perhaps by the will of God) came to me, and I suddenly caughtit, uppermost above all the rest, and so at length beyond hope came out. Atwhich I rejoiced exceedingly, so that I did not perceive the wound whichduring the drawing up I had received on my head from a sharp stone, untilI, with the rest who were released (as was always done before) had to helpwith the seventh and last pull; at which time through straining, the bloodran down all over my clothes, which I nevertheless because of my joy didnot take notice of.

Aragorn decides to march upon the Black Gate as a distraction so Frodo and Sam can reach Mount Doom. Aragorn's army draws out Sauron's remaining forces and empties Mordor, allowing Frodo and Sam to reach the volcano, but Gollum attacks them just as they reach Mount Doom. As Frodo stands on the ledge over the volcanic fire, he succumbs to the Ring and claims it as his own, putting it on his finger. Gollum finds the invisible Frodo and attacks him, biting his finger off to reclaim the Ring. Frodo attacks Gollum in an attempt to reclaim the Ring, and in the ensuing struggle they both fall off the ledge. Gollum falls into the lava with the Ring and dies. Frodo clings to the side of the ledge and is rescued by Sam as the Ring disintegrates in the lava. As Frodo and Sam escape, Sauron is defeated—along with his Orcs and Nazgûl—as Mordor crumbles, finally destroying Sauron once and for all.

Gandalf flies in with eagles in the battle's aftermath to rescue the Hobbits, who awaken in Minas Tirith and are reunited with the surviving Fellowship. Aragorn is crowned King of Gondor and takes Arwen as his queen. The Hobbits return home to the Shire, where Sam marries Rosie Cotton. A few years later, Frodo departs Middle-earth for the Undying Lands with his uncle Bilbo, Gandalf, and the Elves. He leaves Sam the Red Book of Westmarch, which details their adventures. Sam returns to the Shire, where he embraces Rosie and their children. The last words of both the book and the film are the same - "Well, I'm back."
