Returning the Ring

The Inner Dimension of Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings

Although millions of people have read The Lord of the Rings, which is well recognised for its enormous cultural and mythological impact, few understand why Tolkien's masterpiece has captured such a wide audience. Returning the Ring explores the meaning behind the myth - bringing to light its relevance for our modern world.

Returning the Ring traces the path of Frodo Baggins in his quest to return the One Ring back into the cracks of Mount Doom. His journey has something to teach us. Through a retelling of The Lord of the Rings, with a running psychological commentary, the reader is taken along Frodo's journey. Beginning with Frodo's initial realisation of the evil power at work within the One Ring, through to its final destruction and the return to the Shire, the reader is brought into relationship with Frodo, his trials and tribulations.

Returning the Ring follows on from issues raised by Jung's seminal work, Answer to Job. As Jung indicated, we are now living in the Kairos - the right moment for a metaporphosis of the gods. Returning the Ring is a book about this passage of transfromation which lies before all of us.
