Decoding Lord Of The Rings: A Revelatory...

Aubrey Marcus
About this episode

Was Lord of the Rings just a story or was it a prophesy? What does it have to tell us about our current time and the struggles we face?

What is the meaning of the two towers, and the ring of power?

I sit down with master teacher and religious scholar Dr. Marc Gafni to decode the hidden meaning in this timeless tale.
