Oh, what a fascinating and thought-provoking story! This is a marvelous tale, Linda, and a true look at how fear and superstition can affect those who know no better. Aragorn and Faramir are so wise and determined. I love this.

Thank you so much. I'm delighted that you enjoyed this.I'm pleased you found it thought provoking. Fear does indeed make people do irrational things.

Oh, I love this one too! Most excellent use of Arien and Tilion!

... one thing only: no smoked glass, not even for an instant. It's not at all safe. Here are safe methods: a pinhole projector would not be hard to make out of thin leather or painted sail-canvas.

Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed this. They did use smoked glass for viewing eclipses in the 1920's as my Mum told me she was told to take some to school!We know now that it wouldn't offer protection so I'll put a note when I post elsewhere.

I like this so much. Of course Aragorn is the voice of reason here.

Oh, you did great justice to all aspects of the eclipse. Very well done, my dear friend from across the ocean.
