Lord of the Rings

I'm not especially sure how to word this or present this, but... well if you know what I'm talking about then you know exactly what I'm talking about (and I assume this community knows *exactly* what I'm talking about).
I, along with many other people, was deeply moved by the works of Tolkien and when the Lord of the Rings trilogy came out in theaters there was an even bigger surge in its popularity. Personally, and this is an entirely different subject altogether, I feel like there was indeed another world much like Middle-Earth/Valinor where people of *this* world had previous lives. That's just a personal belief of mine.
But my question is, what do you guys think of praying to entities/gods/goddesses of Middle-Earth? In my faith I often call up the Ainur and the Maiar for specific reasons and various matters. I was just wondering if other people do the same thing or something similar and what people's opinions are on this? I could understand how some would be opposed to it while others support it.
