Lewis and the occult

Postby wood-maid » November 15th, 2005, 7:07 pm

"Jill," said Tirian, "you are the bravest and most wood-wise of all my subjects, but also the most malapert and disobedient."
"By the Mane!" he whispered to Eustace. "This girl is a wondrous wood-maid. If she had Dryad's blood in her she could scarce do it better." - The Last Battle

I can't help you, sorry.

I'd just like to get this out of my system.

Are your friends able to point to passages in Lewis' works, or in any of the biographies, that indicate an unseemly interest in the occult? I don't know where they would get this idea, unless they are making the mistake of confusing magic with witchcraft.

That C. S. Lewis person sounds like a truly awful man! Secretly indoctrinating children with evil New Age ideas. :shocked:

You'll never catch me reading one of those horrible CoN books (after all, they are based on the occult!) :tsk:


**give me a break!** :angry:
"But if the Witch could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
