The door by which it first enters the castle is prayer and meditation. The figure is used to describe the whole course of the mystical life – the soul’s progress from the First Mansions to the Seventh and its transformation from an imperfect and sinful creature into the Bride of the Spiritual Marriage. These mansions are not “arranged in a row one behind another” but variously – “some above, others below, others at each side and in the centre and midst of them all is the chiefest mansion, where the most secret things pass between God and the soul.” I began to think of the soul as if it were a castle made of a single diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms, just as in Heaven there are many mansions.

(When Father Christmas couldn't write, his Elvish secretary filled in) In these letters, Father Christmas kept the Tolkien children updated with stories about the hijinks at the North Pole - the slapsticky North Polar Bear and all the things he broke, firework explosions, the discovery of ancient caves full of old cave drawings, and battles with the goblins. Over the course of many years, he wrote and illustrated detailed, whimsical letters from Father Christmas, populated with a clumsy polar bear, elves and goblins. But Tolkien was also the proud dad of four kids - and he didn't just read "Hobbit" to them at bedtime. Tolkien was best known for his epic fantasy "Lord of the Rings" and his studies in myth and language.
