Ravishing My Muse at the Hobbit Boutique Hotel

“Above the laminated breakfast menus in a guest house on President Steyn Avenue, Bloemfontein, South Africa, is an unexpected sight. “John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, was born on this site on 3 January 1892,” reads an iron plaque engraved in English and Afrikaans.”

Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa ‘The Land of She’ where the author Henry Rider Haggard fought the Boars, and where he placed his famous heroine. Tolkien was inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite author and artist, William Morris who was my hero in 1969 a year before I met Rena Easton who was my model for my Pre-Raphaelite Revival painting that inspired Rosamond to take up art. Haggard, Morris, and Tolkien contributed to Fantasy Writing more then any other three men. To discover that my grandfather, Royal Rosamond, was bid to write by Fanny Cory, the painter of Fairies, is profound.

Christine Rosamond Benton became a Art Tyrant ‘The One who must be obeyed’. When I refused to go along with – the illusion of it all – Rosamond banished me from her life, and bid my family to do the same. When my sixteen year old daughter came into my life in 2000 – six years after her aunt was killed (by rogue wave) she refused to be my Muse, and went over to the side of the uncreative parasites and gleefully became the Un-Muse. My attorney will be writing my daughter out of my Will next week.

I am a Pre-Raphaelite Writer, verses a Pre-Raphaelite Artist, for the reason my kindred are too stupid to grasp the difference as they divorce me from Rosamond’s Art, and attaché it to themselves if only for the reason they have slimed it with their penis and vagina juices. They know nothing about literature and art – but want to wear the mask and skin of the Dead Artist so they can promenade about in this dark world believing they own – some light!

The own nothing but their rank genitalia.

It looks like my Muse is not going to make a showing, thus, my creative spirit will travel alone to the Hobbit Boutique Hotel where I will lay down all by myself, and go only to the source of my creativity……myself!

And where is this bed? Under the opera house where the Phantom live – utterly alone – in space! Space! Space!

Note the white mask Shi wears. Rena may think she is a Christian, but, it is now high time I roll away the stone, and reveal the truth about Christianity! I will take away your Muse, as you took away mine, time, after time, after time!

And in this labyrinth where night is blind,
the Phantom of the opera is here
inside my/your mind.

No more!

Phantom Of The Opera”

[Christine (Tarja):]
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came,
that voice which calls to me,
and speaks my name.
And do I dream again? For now I find
the phantom of the opera is there
inside my mind.

[Phantom (Marco):]
Sing once again with me our strange duet;
my power over you grows stronger yet.
And though you turn from me to glance behind,
the phantom of the opera is there
inside your mind.

[Christine (Tarja):]
Those who have seen your face
draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear,

[Phantom (Marco):]
it’s me they hear.

[Christine (Tarja) & Phantom (Marco):]
Your spirit and my voice in one combined;
the phantom of the opera is there
inside my/your mind.

[Voices:]
He’s there the phantom of the opera.
Beware the phantom of the opera.

[Phantom (Marco):]
In all your fantasies, you always knew
that man and mystery

[Christine (Tarja):]
were both in you.

[Christine (Tarja) & Phantom (Marco):]
And in this labyrinth where night is blind,
the Phantom of the opera is here
inside my/your mind.

[Phantom (Marco):]
Sing, my angel of music!

In fact this is not quite true: Tolkien was born a few streets away in a house that would be lost to a flood in the 1920s. Some remnants of that building, along with the plaque, are now incorporated in the structure of the Hobbit Boutique Hotel – one of South Africa’s last visible links with the author, who left for Britain at the age of three.

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are among the biggest selling books of all time. Peter Jackson’s film adaptations are no less phenomenal: his Lord of the Rings trilogy raked in $2.91bn in global ticket sales and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (video) last weekend broke the US record for a December opening.

Yet the much-hyped release of The Hobbit is unlikely to bring legions of fans to South Africa. The country does little to promote its claim on Bilbo Baggins while the Bloemfontein Tourism website omits its most famous son from a list of local attractions.

Even the four-star Hobbit Boutique Hotel is relatively coy. Although each of the 12 rooms draws on the Tolkien universe, don’t expect Gandalf and Gollum salt and pepper pots. The chandelier, blue and white crockery, fireplaces with bellows, framed illustrations of butterflies and flowers, pendulum clocks, wood cabinets and mantelpiece decorated with golden angels are quaint but not necessarily Middle-earth. “I’d almost say we’re borderline Elizabethan,” said the manager, Obakeng Marintlhwane.

One British guest did propose Hobbit-themed music in the garden and TV screens showing Jackson’s movies 24 hours a day. Marintlhwane was unimpressed. “You don’t want to be too over the top,” he said.

The hotel is typically half or two-thirds full in an average a week, he added, not all of them Tolkien devotees. “We don’t do mass marketing. We cater for a particular niche, just as Tolkien appealed to a particular niche. We get calls from people planning to see South Africa and they include the Hobbit in their itinerary even if they don’t stay here.”

A decade ago there were grand plans in Bloemfontein for a Tolkien statue in a park inhabited by characters from his books, a Tolkien stamp series and an annual literary festival to coincide with his birthday. Marintlhwane said he is unaware of any homages in the city today; an organised “Tolkien trail” has petered out.

The trail included the site of the bank where Tolkien’s British father, Arthur, was manager, the Anglican cathedral where the writer was baptised and the cemetery where Arthur is buried. He died from rheumatic fever in 1896, a year after his wife, Mabel, returned to Britain, “exhausted by the climate”. Three-year-old Tolkien and his younger brother, Hilary, took the long voyage with their mother and settled in the West Midlands.

The South African Tourism website does acknowledge Tolkien’s brief time here, stating: “As a boy, Tolkien was a favourite among his family’s employees. On one occasion, Isaak, who worked for his father, took Tolkien home to his kraal for a night to show the baby off to his family. Isaak went on to name his first son Isaak Mister Tolkien Victor.”

It adds: “Tolkien himself claimed to have few memories of South Africa, except for a vivid encounter with a large spider – an experience he is said to have put to good use later on in his writing.”

Bloemfontein (“flower fountain” in Dutch) was the capital of the independent Boer republic of the Orange Free State, now Free State province. It gave birth to the African National Congress in 1912, the rightwing National Party in 1914 and athlete Zola Budd in 1966. It has a monument and museum devoted to the Anglo-Boer war but struggles to compete with Cape Town or Kruger Park as a tourist hub.

The Hobbit is playing at cinemas in Bloemfontein, but not everyone realises its local significance. “I’m amazed,” said Phindile Magagula, 43, a chef and painter. “I watched the movies but I didn’t know he was born here. I would never have imagined.”

A museum or statue would boost tourism and help the local economy, she added. “They need to present all this history. They should do something about it. There isn’t much going on in this area; you have to go out of town.”

Cornel van Tonder, 24, a waiter at an Italian restaurant close to the Hobbit Boutique Hotel, was not so sure. “He was a great writer but his books weren’t based on our landscapes or weather,” he reflected. “They’re not culturally connected to South Africa – he was just born here. Anyway, we still have Charlize Theron: she won an Oscar.”

According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”
In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names–Barack Hussein–mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.” 
However, the so-called “Obama prophecy” was interesting to me–even though I still suspect that someone could have made it up.
Whether it is real or not, the following scripture, clearly is:
The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower (Deuteronomy 28:43).
Although an American, as an African-American that lived in Indonesia, Barack Obama would certainly seem to biblically qualify as an alien (as of course, do all the illegal aliens in the United States–though Barack Obama’s legal status is not a question for me). If he becomes president of the United States then perhaps there are many “Obama prophecies” that he will fulfill as the above verse could possibly be discussing Barack Obama in prophecy. But I want to be clear that I do not believe that there is any Barack Obama antichrist prophecy as Barack Obama cannot be the final antichrist (for details, see Barack Obama is Not the Antichrist).
While lawmakers argue about religious freedom and contraception, the Zulu Nazarite Women who live at base of Drakensberg Mountain, have sacrificed their sexual desires – and married God. Has the Kingdom of God come to Drakensberg Mountain where the arks in the movie 2012, come to rest?
In 2012, an elite group of people secretly round up important works of art, and replace them with facsimiles. Paul did this with the original Nazarite Saints. Dragon Mount contains some of the oldest art in the world.
Abstaining from sex has been used as a means to enlightenment, and should not be used to control people in a church – to no end!
In the movie Zulu, we see the Drackensberg Mountains in the backgound. How prophetic is these scene about virginity and maidens.
Why is the most modern nation on earth debating about the world’s oldest problem, being, how to be married to God, and a human being at the same time. Is God bringing this argument to a close? Will He…….have the last word?
“The last, will later be first, and the first, last!
What is the first book in the Bible – and the last book?
Revelations…….Genesis.
Repent!

The Drakensberg (Afrikaans: Drakensberge, Dutch: Drakensbergen, “the Dragon Mountains”) is the highest mountain range in Southern Africa, rising to 3,482 metres (11,424 ft) in height. In Zulu, it is referred to as uKhahlamba (“barrier of spears”), and in Sesotho as Maluti (also spelled Maloti). Its geological history lends it a distinctive character amongst the mountain ranges of the world
