Ungoliant Print

“Behold! She is Ungoliant, the Devourer of Light, The Black Gaia, The Insatiable Mother.”

In Tolkien’s Mythos I always liked to think of Ungoliant as the personification of Black Holes. She is the Mother of arachnids and coincidentally the closest Black Hole to Earth is named Gaia BH1… it ties in nicely. The numbers in this piece are coordinates to BH1 that will lead you to The Black Gaia’s lair.
“The Elder knew not when she came; but some have said that in ages long before she descended from the darkness that lies about Arda, when Melkor first looked down in envy of the Kingdom of Manwë, and that in the beginning she was one of those that he corrupted to his service. But she had disowned her Master, desiring to be mistress of her own lust, taking all things to herself to feed her emptiness; and she fled to the south, escaping the assaults of the Valar and the hunters of Oromë, for their vigilance had ever been to the north, and the south was long unheeded. Thence she had crept towards the light of the Blessed Realm; for she hungered for light and hated it.

In ravine she lived, and took the shape as a spider of monstrous form, weaving her black webs in a cleft of the mountains. There she sucked up all the light that she could find, and spun it forth again in dark nets of strangling gloom, until no light more could come to her abode; and she was famished.”
