The word how derives from the Old Norse haugr, meaning hill or mound. Where is Aslan country? There are entrances to Aslan's Country from all worlds, including Narnia and Earth. It is located beyond Narnia's rising sun at the eastern edge of the world, and indeed rings around the whole Narnian world.
Who plays Santa in The Chronicles of Narnia? Is the old man the lion in Narnia? Is Narnia a real place? Narnia is a fantasy world created by C.
Lewis as the primary location for his series of seven fantasy novels for children, The Chronicles of Narnia. The world is so called after the country of Narnia, in which much of the action of the Chronicles takes place. With the exception of Edmund, when the children meet Aslan they are powerfully drawn to him.
Peter, Susan, and Lucy love Aslan immediately, and believe that he has immense goodness. It does not seem strange to them that they revere Aslan, and would also call him a friend. Aslan always seems one step ahead of the rest. When the Witch brings Aslan the news that he must forfeit Edmund to her or all Narnia will perish, the Witch is clearly expecting to take Aslan by surprise.
Aslan, however, is not startled at all, he is just sad. Aslan's amazing love for the Narnia people, even Edmund, a traitor, is demonstrated with painful clarity when Aslan sacrifices his own life to save Edmund. Logically, this sacrifice seems silly, as the Witch triumphantly points out. By losing his life, Aslan seems to be giving the Witch Narnia forever. Jesus is the Lord of all worlds and nations, even the ones that don't acknowledge him.
So his name origin isn't as important as what it means. If Aslan is symbolic for Christ, why did Lewis choose a Turkish name for him? Why not the world lion from another Christian country? It is a gift that the stories in the Bible can be retold in a modern or different way to appeal to new audiences who might not understand the culture of so long ago. You did an amazing Hub!
I love symbolic stories, though its been years since I read the C. Lewis stories. Your right in that symbolism adds new life to the events in the Bible. I believe God gives writers like C. Lewis inspired ideas to communicate the deep mysteries of Christ. AlyzaLewis - Thanks!
I'm also a Narnia geek. The symbolism is part of what makes the books so wonderful for adults. Fantastic hub! I'm a Narnia geek through and through, and part of the reason that I love Narnia so much is because of the Christian symbolism. Thank you so much for pointing out that Aslan is not meant to be a direct representation of Jesus so much as God's way of revealing himself to another world.
That's the part I think a lot of people miss. Lovely article! Thank you naturegirl7. The beauty of the Chronicles of Narnia is that they are fun for children, but have so much meaning for adults as well.
The Chronicles of Narnia are so much more than "children's books". Your in depth hub is enlightening. Thanks Joni. The Chronicles are children's books, yet they are so rich with symbolism and with content that even adults can enjoy them. What a great hub. I love the Chronicles and also see the symbolism. You have taken idea to a whole new level. Amazing job. Party Games. Drinking Games.

Tumnus, Lucy finds out that the once-beautiful and green land of Narnia is frozen under its white blanket because an evil character, the White Witch, has cast a spell over it. The Witch imposes an enchanted, eternal winter on Narnia, symbolizing a dead, stagnant time. The season of winter represents that Narnia has fallen under an evil regime.
