I would also like to add that I am glad that there are many "gandolf-esque" renderings because the JRRT character (Gandolf the grey) was based on Odin whom took the form of the old wonderer etc. Tolkein literally set out took to make a full amalgimation of the mytholigy of the British Isles and susequently its Germanic roots, for example. Good pics!!!!
Excelent picture collection. Unfortuntely some of the artists didn't realize that Odin hung upside-down from Yygdrasil (the world tree) where he spied the Runes and sacrificed his eye into the wisdom pool. This was the inspiration behind the "hanged man" card; equally the emphisis on the symbolism of Jesus actually on the cross when Christianity hit western culture/British isles
