A SOCRATIC ANALYSIS OF THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
1. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, why does Aslan tell the children that the witches are descended from – Lilith – who was supposedly Adam’s first wife before Eve?
“Lilith was a succubus, that is, a female demon that has intercourse with men while they sleep, and later kills their progenty. Lilith in Babylonian and Assyrian myhology was a ravenus sexual entrepneur. In legend lilith was Adam’s first wife. She supposedly had riotus erotic adventures with fallen
angels, and together they spawned a huge family of demons identical to the succubi of Christian demonology.”
2. In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, is Mr. Tumnus ( a faun) a pedophile?
According to Encylopedia Brittanica 1976 edition
” In witchcraft and ancient Roman mythology, a faun is any of a group of deities, which have th upper bodies of men, and horns, ears, tails and genitalia of a goat. The Roman god “Faunaus” was the god of fertility and was connected to sexual lust.”
Encylopedia Brittanica 1976 edition
From reading the book it is clear that Mr. Tumnus a faun, is modeled after the Greek god Pan and the Roman god Faunus.
3. In light of this, why is Lucy, a preteen girl, taken by Mr. Tumnus (a stranger,) to his home, a cave, given food, and lulled to sleep while he plays hypnotic music on his Pan flute? (His instructions from the white witch were for him to take any humans he encountered, directly to her. Why did he disobey her?
4. Is Mr Tunmus a pedophile? – if not – When she wakes up, why does he confess that he has done something very bad?
5. If not, why does he have the following books on his bookshelf?
* Life and Letters of Silenus
Silenus was a Greek god well known for drunkeness and sexual lust. “He was the old rustic god of the dance of the winepress – He was also god of drunknesswho rode in the train of Dionysos seated on the back of a donkey. He was depicted as a jovial oldman, hairy and balding, with a pot bellyand snub nose, and ears and tail of an ass.”
Silenus was a Satyr. “The Satyrs were portrayed as mortal men, but later they came to resemble Pan: with horns, a man’s torso and face, and the legs and feet of a goat or, in some myths, a horse. Satyrs served as comic relief thanks to their mischievous behavior and blatant sexual desire. They were often in drunken, amorous pursuit of nymphs. In the visual arts, satyrs were depicted with enormous, erect penises. As followers of Dionysus, satyrs participated in the ecstatic Dionysian festivals. They staggered about drunk, playing music and dancing, and trying to quench their lust.”
* Nymphs and their Ways – Nymphomaniacs
“A nymph in Greek mythology is a female minor nature deity…..Different from gods, nymphs are generally regarded as divine spirits, who are usually depicted as nubile young maidens, who love to dance and sing, and initiate sexual intercourse; their amorous freedom sets them apart from the restricted and chaste young wives and daughters of the Greek polis.

* Is Man a Myth (I am still researching this.)
6. Why does the lion “Aslan” die for only one person – Edmund the traitor – and not for Lucy, Susan and Peter, when in reality, the Lord Jesus died for all people, because all people are sinners?
7. In questions 6 is Lewis preaching the satanic lie, that if one is good, one does not need a savior?
8. Why does Lewis use a female witch as a symbol for evil, when satan is referred to as a male in the scriptures?
9. Why is the witch a “white” witch, since white in the scriptures is symbolic of purity and righteousness?
“Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow though they be red as crimson. they shall be as white as snow.” Isaiah 1 : 18
10. Why is the white witch more powerful than satan? She controls the seasons and turns people into stone. (In scripture only God controls the seasons and only He had the power to turn Lot’s wife into stone.)
10. Why do both the white witch, and Aslan use varying degrees of magic – deep magic and deeper magic
