Since we're home with sick kids, I rented a bunch of videos last night. Today we've been watching Narnia, in bits and pieces. I just had a part of the allegory click into focus for me that I hadn't gotten when reading it in the past.

If the Witch knew the true meaning of sacrifice, she might have interpreted the Deep Magic differently. That when a willing victim has who has committed no treachery is killed in a traitor's stead, the Stone Table will crack and even Death itself will turn backwards

The stone table will crack - allegory for Mosaic law in the form of the tablets. Ohhhhhh. Right.

Interesting insight, albeit with a feeling of "why did I not see that before?"

Yep. Fanfic is good.

I was thinking that I'm glad that your White Witch costume is nothing like hers - I actually found hers ugly. And what is with this, the witch of winter has a summer wardrobe?

I noticed that, too...she's actually wearing green in the stone table scene, and what I think is a dress of scale mail in the battle scene.

The stone table scene I could kinda see. I mean, you just don't wear white to a blood sacrifice. You'd never get it clean.

Day Eleven: Bumped into Gandalf who is all sparkly white now. Asked him, "Who do you have to blow to get last bottle of bleach in Middle Earth anyway?" Gandalf said, "The Balrog." So not worth it.

See? Makes you wonder what Jadis and Gandalf get up to off-screen. ;)

There's a fanfic for you to write. Jadis/Gandalf.

You have seen this, have you not?

I love the bit about Gandalf the Jesus Cat.
