The istari, the 5 wizards, were all Maia who were sent to middle-earth by the Valar. The Balrog wasn't one of the istari, it was one of the Maia that was convinced to join Morgoth (Melkor) when the world was first created. The other wizard was Radagast the Brown. Maia themselves were numerous, of the same race as the valar, but of lesser power. Aragorn and Arwen are both descended from Melian, mother of Luthien.
I don't think he means a cult within the confines of the story, He means in the general public, like Star Trek and Star Wars has.
Anyway, the Istari (including Gandalf and Saruman) are only a group of 5 maia who were sent to middle-earth by the Valar to aid both Elves and Men in their struggle against Sauron. The Balrog was also a Maia, hence Gandalf's trepidation at facing it.
Well Star Wars and Star Trek has had 30 years to build a strong cult. LOTR has had about 7 years or so now. Give it some time and the LOTR cults will be large.
That is genuinely quite fascinating (displaying emotion in text without 'smileys' is like trying to herd cats).
So, Gandalf, Saruman and the Balrog were three of the five Maia of the Istari (Maia meaning a being of great magical power I assume). Who - or what (A-ha...) - were the other two?
Oh great flaming morningstars of crap - I found the names of the other two Istari (the minor ones?) in another comment - they are apparently Alatar and Pallando. These sound like rather funky little characters. I shall research them...
(insert montage music here - I have no hyperlink, you will find a suitable piece in the Team America Soundtrack).
there was a cult of LOTR when the books came out, in the 50's and 60's.. There were "Gandalf for president" badges, people dressing up for conventions. Now all is left is Dungeons&Dragons fans who still play RPGs with dice and paper.
I hate to point this out but your comment is also relevent to itself. What's the point of making a comment that says nothing except that you can't form a cogent argument or a decent critisism against the subject material.
All the music that I put on here is sequenced with noteworthy composer, but played through a Yamaha MIDI keyboard and recorded. That's probably why it wouldn't sound the same.
not the original from the movie wich is far more better

Ok, lets clear your question up.
The istari, the 5 wizards, were all Maia who were sent to middle-earth by the Valar. The Balrog wasn't one of the istari, it was one of the Maia that was convinced to join Morgoth (Melkor) when the world was first created. The other wizard was Radagast the Brown. Maia themselves were numerous, of the same race as the valar, but of lesser power. Aragorn and Arwen are both descended from Melian, mother of Luthien.
Hope this answers you question!

I don't understand why there isn't a serious CULT around LOTR. It certainly deserves one.

Were the Istari actually Maia? I thought they were just agents of Iluvatar?
Also, do you know what happened to the two minor Istari, Alatar and Pallando?
