Josef Madlener - "The mountain spirit"

Humphrey Carpenter in his 1977 biography relates that Tolkien owned a postcard entitled Der Berggeist ("the mountain spirit"), and on the paper cover in which he kept it, he wrote "the origin of Gandalf". The postcard reproduces a painting of a bearded figure, sitting on a rock under a pine tree in a mountainous setting. He wears a wide-brimmed round hat and a long red cloak, and a white fawn is nuzzling his upturned hands.

Carpenter said that Tolkien recalled buying the postcard during his holiday in Switzerland in 1911.

About me

Greenline Front is the movement of national - conscious people, who reject the system of modern anthropocentric values and it's procreations, such as capitalism and monotheistic religions. We think, that ecological crisis and mass annihilation of animals - the direct effect of anthropocentric views. We see the alternative in ecological way of thinking, that means comprehension of the fact Earth's being not just a lifeless piece of stone, but the Mother of every creature alive, mother of humanity, as well. The endless chasing of material profit, excess consumption of resources, careless way of thinking about how human's activities affect on the Nature - this is what we call unacceptable. We fight for freedom for every animal, enslaved by people, because we think, that Nature's interests must prevail over human's. Greenline Front is not a political organization or party, we have no leader and official membership.
