Summary

Description "Page of Wands" from The Hobbit Tarot

Bilbo reads the map to find the secret door. He often borrowed Thorin Oakenshield’s map, looking at the runic lettering and the Moon Letters on it. Moon Letters were runic letters that could only be seen when the moon was behind them. The more cunning sort required a moon of the same shape and season as the day when they were written. The ones in Thorin’s map were written in mid-summer’s eve, under a crescent moon.

“Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks and the setting sun with the last light of Durin’s Day will shine upon the keyhole.”

Durin was the father of the race of Dwarves, and his day was when the last moon of autumn and the sun were in the sky together.
