The pic above,"The Hermit," is a card from the Rider-Wait Tarot Deck. I think that the band may have seen similarities between the card and Gandalf from the Tolkien trilogy. He is pictured looking down on Bag End, making sure that Frodo is safe from Dark forces. Ther are many direct and indirect references to Tolkien's works in Plant's lyrics, in a variety of songs. The songs with direct references are "Over the Hills and Far Away," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Battle of Evermore," "Ramble On" and others.
Its late now but tomorrow I will explain these references, along with direct quotes from the novels and songs.
