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?"

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.
