Mythological roots
It is a well-known fact that Tolkien had interest in the mythology and linguistics of Northern Europe, specifically the pagan mythologies of the Norse and English peoples. The other main influence was Finnish Mythology - it played a major role in the creation of The Silmarillion, and the Quenya language was modeled mostly after the Finnish language. Two other examples of linguistic influences were Rohirric, the language used for the Rohirrim which was substituted by Old English (from which English is chiefly derived), and the language spoken in Dale and Esgaroth, equivalent to Old Norse, which is the language of the epic sagas and poems of the Norse.
Many significant events of Middle-earth's history - such as Smaug's awakening and rampage, the finding of the Ring, and the reforging of Narsil - all have parallels in Germanic Mythology. The epic poetry of Northern Europe's past, such as the epic poem Beowulf and 'Völsungasaga', have also been cited as influencing Tolkien and his legendarium. The rampage of Smaug could in fact be seen to be inspired by Beowulf, in which a cup is stolen from the sleeping wyrm who then leaves his cave for revenge. (His revenge is the climax of the story, and the demise of the protagonist Beowulf).
The One Ring is said by many to have been inspired by the ring in the Norse saga of the Völsungs and its later German version, the High Medieval Nibelunglied; however comments by Tolkien make it unclear as to whether it was a reference to the Völsungasaga.
Éowyn's disguising as a man in The Return of the King is likely to echo many tales of 'Shield-maidens' and Valkyries from Norse Mythology.
The name of the chief continent of Arda, Middle-earth, has its origins in Norse Mythology also. The name derives from the Old English Middanġeard (meaning "middle enclosure") which later became the Middle English term Middel-erde (meaning now "Middle-earth" rather than the older sense of "Middle-yard"). This name for our world has cognates in the various other Germanic languages: Miðgarðr in Old Norse (rendered as "Midgard" in Modern English), and Mittelerde in Modern German.

The Pennsylvania Germans live in the USA but still maintain a lot of pagan elements in their culture. A beautiful element of their culture are hexsigns. This is an interview with Hunter Yoder who is a hexsign painter and heathen/pagan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPITnvLKKk

Third Reich female magicians knew this hidden truth about the spiritual/occult significance of long hair. Some occultists believe that hair serve as spiritual antennas through which energies are channelled.

These people claim that this is unusual Christian behavior. Yeah sure. Anyone who’s done the research, and who’s honest about it will tell you that child sexual abuse goes hand in hand with these church leaders. In many cases they are only Christian to the public, but behind closed doors they are Freemason, or some other secret society. And I found that these people practice generational incestual pedophilia, and rape their kids, and teach their kids to rape their kids, and so on. This degenerate church leader was using his power to rape little boys. Christians are blindly worshipping a psychopathic, bloodthirsty, pedophilic entity Jehovah/yahweh

If you didn’t grow up knowing how to alpha a beast who could eat you in a heartbeat, but alpha with love and respect, then you weren’t raised as an Aryan.
I’m starting to see with new eyes, all those films, TV series, and documentaries about European dark age/medieval history of battles between Christians & pagans.
I didn’t see it before, but now I’m starting to notice certain details, and how they like to present this so-called European dark age history in these films & TV series.
Like how for example in one such a film the Anglo-Saxons are presented as an enemy army invading Europe, but in another film the Anglo-Saxons are presented as the good guys, the natives of Europe trying to defend their land from the invading enemy. The only difference is that in one film the Anglo-Saxons are pagan still, and in another film they are now Christians fighting pagans.
I see how in these films & TV series they tend to always present the Christians as innocent, merciful, righteous, godly people, and the pagans are always presented as merciless, bloodthirsty, completely evil.
These films always have the evil pagans coming to steal the land from the Christians of Europe. How many times have I seen those before the battle scenes, in which a Christian King turns to his army, and gives an inspirational, emotional speech to the troops, calling on them to defend their Christian land of Europe from the evil pagan intruders/invaders. The message here is clear, Christians of Europe are Europe’s natives defending their native Christian European land from the pagan invaders.
I realize how much of an inversion this is. This is brainwashing. You already know who controls the filming industry, and so they do this deliberately by making the audience believe that the Christians were the innocent victims of Europe who were just trying to defend their Christian land & faith from the evil pagan invaders when in reality it’s actually the opposite of what really happened.
It was the Christians/Abrahamists who were the evil invaders, who came to steal the land from the native pagans of Europe, and kill their native/ indigenous pagan faith.
The only so-called history we get from official sources, on which these films are based, is what happened after Christianity/Abrahamism had taken over pagan Europe, and even this they give us in a distorted form.
Pagans were the natives of Europe, and the true history of how Christianity/Abrahamism took over the entire pagan Europe has been erased. The Christian takeover of the old pagan world is completely hidden from us.
Some alternative history researchers found evidence which leads them to believe that some of those wars were in reality civil wars, but recorded in official history as natives defending their land from invaders/outsiders. Also the peasants revolts are completely distorted in official history. We don’t really know much about the past.
When they were fabricating their history, they could have written it anyway they wanted. Every war of the past could be completely distorted in official history to fit their picture of the past that they wish to program us with.
In the case of films showing Christian medieval Europeans as natives of Europe defending their land from foreign evil heathen pagans, to me that is inversion of truth. I feel that they always invert everything, turn it upside down, because that’s somehow part of their dark occult ritual.

I believe our subconscious mind can indeed pick up the truth even if it’s presented in an inverted form, and it’ll do so without us being consciously aware of it. I feel that our emotions play a role in this process too. So as our subconscious mind picks up on this inverted truth, our conscious mind will not understand why this film feels so important to us, but nevertheless it will still stand out in our conscious mind as something real, something true. So I believe that’s how their mind control works. Inverting the truth is part of their occult ritual, and mind control. That’s how they make us believe in something that’s not true by presenting the truth to us backwards, which will be picked up by our subconscious minds. I believe that subconscious minds are connected to our souls, and because we reincarnate into our own family lines, this means that our souls were present in the past during that part of history in the bodies of our ancestors, and they have witnessed this part of history, so when this history is present to us today in an inverted form, our subconscious picks it up as something true, but inverted. Its also known in psychology that subconscious minds can pick up subliminal messaging like a sponge. Subconscious minds can pick up backwards writing too.
