Speak Friend And Enter

[Gandalf The Grey]

Hello my fellow pipe smokers. I've been enjoying pipes for 30 years and have a penchant for english blends. I also enjoy the occasional aromatic blend. I'm a very private person. I enjoy all works by J.R.R Tolkien. You wouldn't part an old man with his walking stick?

You know it always struck me, if Gandalf had just read the door’s inscription aloud, it would have opened immediately. Seems like not such a good locking spell.

depends on the old man and his walking stick. Mainly what he gets up to with it.

one theory on such things is less a lock and more of a ritual i.e. read the message and know what the place is about, while also keeping the riff raff out that can't read.

It certainly works for goblins and the majority of men-folk! It is a good theory, lets apply it to the likes of the Witch King of Angmar. He can surely understand an old elvish dialect, but would he utter the words? Would his tainted heart allow him to speak of such things as friends?
