Witchcraft in The Chronicles of Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia stories are still popular today after their beginning in the 1950s. They have been made into several popular Hollywood films. Many Christians have embraced the books and treasured them along with other writings of C.S. Lewis. But, what is the reason for their continuing popularity? Could it be that they are more than just novels for entertainment?

Witchcraft in The Chronicles of Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia stories are still popular today after their beginning in the 1950s. They have been made into several popular Hollywood films. Many Christians have embraced the books and treasured them along with other writings of C.S. Lewis. But, what is the reason for their continuing popularity? Could it be that they are more than just novels for entertainment?

The late David J. Meyer, a former witch, became a believer in Jesus Christ and left witchcraft. He then exposed the real witchcraft in some popular books for children and adults. David J. Meyer wrote:

“As a former witch, astrologer, and occultist who has been saved by the grace of God, I know that the works of C.S. Lewis are required reading by neophyte witches, especially in the United States and England. This includes The Chronicles of Narnia, because it teaches neophyte, or new witches, the basic mindset of the craft. Isn’t it strange, though, that many “Christian” churches and organizations have used The Chronicles of Narnia as Sunday School curriculum?” [End quote] (Meyer, David J. “The Witchcraft of the Narnia Chronicles.” lasttrumpetministries.org.) (Emphasis added)

{Note: A neophyte is a beginner witch.}

Let’s consider what David J. Meyer said about Narnia.

Lord of the Rings Is Occultic and Anti-Christ

Lord of the Rings Is Occultic and Anti-Christ

The Lord of the Rings was the sequel to J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel, The Hobbit. This book series took shape in Tolkien’s mind in the late 1930s. One day as Tolkien was grading papers, he found a blank sheet of paper and a sentence came to his mind: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit” (See "Who was Tolkien?" in Works Cited). He wrote it down and began to ponder what a hobbit was and what kind of hole it lived in. From that day forward, J.R.R. Tolkien began a story that would become very popular all around the world.

How America Now Resembles the Aztec Empire

How America Now Resembles the Aztec Empire

There were different factors that brought about the end of the Aztec Empire. The foremost factor was their bloodshed culture. Thousands of innocent victims were murdered in human-sacrifice rituals to honor the gods of the Aztecs. Consequently, tribes which had lost family members to the murderous Aztec religion were willing to assist Hernán Cortés in fighting their oppressive overlords. With the assistance of the disgruntled native people, Cortés was able to bring a quick end to the Aztec Empire.

In this article, we will see how America is following, to some degree, in the footsteps of the Aztecs. That may sound very strange to you, but please bear with me as we examine some factors that led to the demise of the Aztec Empire. We will attempt to show how these are related to America.

Lord of the Rings Exposed ─ Gandalf the Wizard and Tolkien the Master of Deception (Is Lord of the Rings Occultic?)

Lord of the Rings Exposed ─ Gandalf the Wizard and Tolkien the Master of Deception (Is Lord of the Rings Occultic?)

In this article, we will look at some of the symbols and messages

in some of Tolkien's LOTR books and writings. We will see if they are occultic, or not. 

We'll look at the "Doors of Durin", the White Tree of Gondor, Gandalf's true identity as

one of the Istari, and more.

Many have researched into occult aspects of various books and movies. Some have pointed out actual witchcraft portrayed for entertainment in fictional books and movies, such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. The occult world is very active in these days in which we live. But, are J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings novels free of anything occultic? Or, do they include occult themes and symbols?

To answer those questions, we’ll start with an important character in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Gandalf is a wizard who demonstrates magical power through spells and by use of his staff. But, according to J.R.R. Tolkien, Gandalf is not a human being. Tolkien described Gandalf in this way:

“But G. [sic] is not, of course, a human being (Man or Hobbit). There are naturally no precise modern terms to say what he was. I wd. [sic] venture to say that he was an incarnate 'angel'... that is, with the other Istari, wizards, 'those who know', an emissary from the Lords of the West, sent to Middle-earth, as the great crisis of Sauron loomed on the horizon. By 'incarnate' I mean they [the Istari / wizards] were embodied in physical bodies capable of pain, and weariness, and of afflicting the spirit with physical fear, and of being 'killed', though supported by the angelic spirit they might endure long, and only show slowly the wearing of care and labour. ...” [A.] [End quote] (underline added)

Tolkien described Gandalf (and the other the Istari wizards) as having a physical body that suffers from weariness and pain, but that is controlled by an angelic spirit. Thus, Gandalf was an “incarnate angel”. Half man, half angel creatures are found in Genesis chapter 6.

The Lord of the Rings Exposed - Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Trolls, Fairies, and Wizards (What Are They? Do They Exist or Did They Exist at One Time?)

In The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit (and Narnia), we read about dwarves, trolls, goblins, elves, and other mythical creatures. These creatures have been featured in myths going back thousands or hundreds of years. J.R.R. Tolkien drew from these myths to write his famous Lord of the Rings series and associated books. But, are these creatures only found in fantasy and myths?

What Is a Dwarf?

I did a Google search and found a book by a Wiccan describing, in a matter-of-fact way, how a witch (or Wiccan) could summon various spirit creatures, such as gnomes, dwarves, elves, and others. Listen to what Mr. Skye Alexander writes concerning gnomes and dwarves:

‘Gnomes, whose name means “earth dwellers,” dwell in the element of earth. …. At times, however, they can seem gruff… Sometimes called trolls or leprechauns, these elementals are practical, no-nonsense,... creatures. They … can be valuable aides when you’re doing prosperity spells. Other earth spirits include the dwarves of European faery tales [sic], the bergbui (Teutonic mountain giants), the kubera (Hindu guardians of the north), and the simargl (Slavic guardians of all plants). If you wish to work with a gnome, go to a wooded area, call to it, and wait patiently until it reveals itself to you or you sense its presence.”’ [A.] [End quote] (underlining added)

If you are familiar with the Bible, you will know that God forbids communicating with familiar spirits in Deuteronomy 18.

Deuteronomy 18:10-11

“[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.”

It is strange to most people, but Wiccans (“white” witches) actually communicate with spirits they call dwarves, elves, fairies, gnomes, etc.

Star Wars Exposed - Necromancy Exposed in Star Wars

Star Wars Exposed - Necromancy Exposed in Star Wars

In the best-selling books and movies of the last 40 years (or so), Star Wars is near the top. It has become a global phenomenon and now Disney has gotten its hands into the franchise. We are seeing more and more people eager to purchase Star Wars toys, games, books, and movies for themselves and their children. But, does Star Wars promote the occult? Does it promote sorcery? Jedi knights don’t wear pointy hats or hold magic wands, but are they sorcerers?

In the Star Wars films we see a few times when either Obi Wan or Yoda (or or other deceased Jedi) return in a semi-transparent, ghostly form. In The Clone Wars (a Cartoon Network show), Anakin Skywalker speaks with Qui Gon Jinn’s ‘ghost.’ At another time, Obi Wan speaks with the same Qui Gon ‘ghost.’ (Note: I don’t watch Star Wars films or videos anymore. I just found the video clips of this ghostly interaction by internet search.)

In the original Star Wars films, Obi Wan’s ghost appeared to Luke Skywalker, and counseled him. Is this necromancy? Dictionary.com defines necromancy as: “a method of divination through alleged communication with the dead; black art.” [B.]

The practice of speaking with the “dead” is called necromancy, when seeking wisdom or knowledge by occult means. This is a type of divination. God forbids divination, necromancy, wizardry, and magic in Deuteronomy 18.

Deuteronomy 18:9-13

“[9] When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. [10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass

through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. [13] Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.”

The belief that the spirits of dead people remain on earth is a pagan and occult idea. (To learn more about what these spirits are, click here.) The Bible says:

Harry Potter Magic Exposed - Necromancy in Hogwarts

Harry Potter Magic Exposed - Necromancy in Hogwarts

Ghosts appear in Harry Potter’s Hogwarts school. They lurk in the old grounds of this school of witchcraft and wizardry. They also communicate with Harry and his classmates.

One ghost, called Nearly Headless Nick, told Harry Potter these words: “I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead.” [A.]

Harry Potter is being taught to be a wizard; to talk with spirits; how to cast spells; and to use magic for “good” purposes. But, all of these things are forbidden in God’s Word, the Bible, in Deuteronomy 18.

The Occult in Narnia, Part 6 - The Magician's Nephew Promotes the Occult

The Occult in Narnia, Part 6 - The Magician's Nephew Promotes the Occult

The story called The Magician's Nephew was set by C.S. Lewis to be the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia, even though he wrote it some years after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This story has a boy named Digory and a girl named Polly travelling to alternate universes by way of magic rings -- rings that his uncle Andrew obtained. Andrew Ketterley, a sorcerer (magician), offered a yellow, magic ring to Polly, Digory's neighbor girl. She vanished into thin air and arrived at another world, in an alternate universe. 

Seeing a greedy look flash on his uncle's face, Digory had warned Polly not to touch the yellow rings, which were in a tray. C.S. Lewis wrote:

"Polly! Don't be a fool!" he shouted. "Don't touch them."


It was too late. Exactly as he spoke, Polly's hand went out to touch one of the rings. And immediately, without a flash or a noise or a warning of any sort, there was no Polly. Digory and his Uncle were alone in the room." [1]

Let's stop here and address something that should be concerning to every parent. Magic rings that cause people to disappear are fictional. But, magic rings that can "control" an occult "force" are real. 

The Force and Witchcraft

The late David J. Meyer, a former witch, who left witchcraft and became a born-again Christian, wrote some articles exposing the occult in some popular books and films. Meyer explained what magic rings were used for by real witches:

"The first thing a neophyte or beginner witch is taught is that there is a “force.” The “force” has two sides and can be controlled by magic spells, words, potions, incantations, rope magic, rings, amulets, and so on. Witches believe that there is good witchcraft and bad witchcraft, and the good always triumphs over evil! Witches also teach that battles are fought in the Middle Earth and in the astral plane causing upheavals both above and below. Thus, witches emphasize that good must triumph over evil, but it is all witchcraft." [2] (emphasis added) 

Witches control the "force" by way of many items, including rings. Many movies and books, including Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, are very occultic. Using a ring to work magic is what witches do today. This is not a fictional concept. It is reality. The Bible forbids magic and the occult in Deuteronomy 18 and elsewhere.

The Magic Ring

Moving on, we will now look at how young Digory treated his uncle after Polly magically vanished from touching a ring. Keep in mind that Narnia was written by a man who claimed to be a Christian. Digory confronts his uncle about sending Polly to an alternate universe. C.S. Lewis writes:

[Andrew said:] "...The whole point of sending anyone into the Other Place is that I want to find out what it's like."

"Well why didn't you go yourself then?"

"Digory had hardly ever seen anyone look so surprised and offended as his Uncle did at this simple question. "Me? Me?" he exclaimed. "The boy must be mad! A man at my time of life, and in my state of health, to risk the shock and the dangers of being flung suddenly into a different universe? ... Do you realise what you're saying? Think what Another World means—you might meet anything—anything."

"And I suppose you've sent Polly into it then," said Digory. His cheeks were flaming with anger now. "And all I can say," he added, "even if you are my Uncle—is that you've behaved like a coward, sending a girl to a place you're afraid to go to yourself."

"Silence, Sir!" said Uncle Andrew, bringing his hand down on the table. "I will not be talked to like that by a little, dirty, schoolboy. You don't understand. I am the great scholar, the magician, the adept, who is doing the experiment. Of course I need subjects to do it on. ... No great wisdom can be reached without sacrifice. But the idea of my going myself is ridiculous. It's like asking a general to fight as a common soldier. Supposing I got killed, what would become of my life's work?"


"Oh, do stop jawing," said Digory. "Are you going to bring Polly back?" [End quote] [1]

Notice how Digory treats his uncle. Is this book teaching children to respect others, especially their elders? Besides having this boy character not showing respect to adults, and giving him a bad attitude toward his uncle, C.S. Lewis is doing something else with this character. Digory represents children that do not like the idea of magic. In the story, Digory actually didn't believe magic existed, until he saw it with his own eyes. After he saw Polly vanish, and after some heated dialogue with his uncle, Digory said:

".... I didn't believe in Magic till to-day. I see now it's real. Well if it is, I suppose all the old fairy tales are more or less true. ..." [1]

In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Digory is the professor that Lucy and her siblings are staying with. He has a magic wardrobe that sends Lucy and her friends to Narnia. He went from being a skeptical child to believer in magic.

In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace Clarence was presented to the reader as unlikable and stuck-up. He scoffed at the idea of magic being real. After his magical adventures in Narnia, Eustace was said to have "improved." C.S. Lewis writes: "...back in our own world everyone soon started saying how Eustace had improved, and how "You'd never know him for the same boy..."

Lewis makes the boy characters that are skeptical or uninterested in magic look unhappy and unlikable. Children that don't believe in magic are being slowly shaped by the Narnia books to believe that magic is actually real, or something that could be real. An appetite for a magical realm is what draws children into more and more overtly occultic fantasy. 

The Astral Plane

In witchcraft, the 'astral plane' is a hypothetical realm where spirits live and where other worlds are thought to exist. There are many views about what exists in this occultic concept of the supernatural world. Some believe there are planets populated by 'astral' beings. People that practice witchcraft and eastern meditation have said they travel to such worlds frequently. This practice is forbidden in the Bible, in Deuteronomy 18. 

It is a type of divination. Merriam-Webster defines divination as: "the art or practice that seeks to foresee or foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge usually by the interpretation of omens or by the aid of supernatural powers" [4]. Discovering "hidden knowledge" happens as a sorcerer supposedly 'travels on the astral plane.' When Lucy goes to Narnia, or Digory and Polly travel to the land of Charn, children are being taught that astral travel is 'good.' For, indeed, what they are really doing is astral travel. 

Deuteronomy 18:10-11 says: "[10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer."

Aslan Promotes Magic

Aslan, the lion, who Lewis called a "supposal" of Christ [3], is also reinforcing in children's minds that magic is "neutral," and can be used for either "good" or "bad." C.S. Lewis writes:

The Occult in Narnia, Part 4 - The White Witch and The Magician's Nephew

The Occult in Narnia, Part 4 - The White Witch and The Magician's Nephew

In this article we will look at the White Witch (Jadis) from The Chronicles of Narnia, by C.S. Lewis. We will show you some information about her that will alarm you (likely) and will open a door to C.S. Lewis' belief system.

One of the main characters in The Chronicles of Narnia is the White Witch, known as Jadis, who was a queen and a sorceress who came from a magical world known as Charn. In The Magician's Nephew, some decades before the events in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe took place, a boy named Digory (who grew up to be Professor Digory) and a girl named Polly used magic rings to travel to a magical world called Charn. 

Jadis, the White Witch

The two magically appeared in a courtyard of a stone building. Entering the building, they found a room in which were many well-dressed people that were motionless as statues, due to a magic spell cast on them years ago. The two children noticed a gold bell and an inscription beside it. C.S. Lewis writes:

The Real Witchcraft of Narnia Exposed - Narnia's Occult Agenda

The Real Witchcraft of Narnia Exposed - Narnia's Occult Agenda (Part 2)

In this short series, we will show facts about C.S. Lewis and his books that will challenge the belief many hold that ‘C.S. Lewis was a Christian author of good children’s stories and Christian books.’ Today, we will look at some of the occultic themes found in The Chronicles of Narnia. We will ask and answer the question: 'Is real witchcraft portrayed in C.S. Lewis' Narnia series?' 

In pre-medieval times, Europe was primarily made up of pagan tribes, such as the Celts, Goths, Picts, and others. These tribes often worshiped gods and goddesses, such as Thor, Oden, and Aine (a Celtic fertility goddess). People in ancient Europe often claimed to have seen supernatural beings appear in wooded areas and elsewhere. 

The Peterborough Chronicle is a historical account of England written during the Middle Ages, after the Norman Conquest of 1066. A supernatural event was reported to have been witnessed near the town of Peterborough. Through the woodland surrounding the town of Peterborough, large, hideous black creatures appeared, blowing horns, and many were riding black horses and he-goats. Read the actual account below:

"Many men both saw and heard a great number of huntsmen hunting. The huntsmen were black, huge, and hideous, and rode on black horses and on black he-goats, and their hounds were jet black, with eyes like saucers, and horrible. This was seen in the very deer park of the town of Peterborough, and in all the woods that stretch from that same town to Stamford, and in the night the monks heard them sounding and winding their horns." [1]

This account is one of many similar accounts of supernatural creatures making their appearance in what are called "wild hunts." As these events became more commonly known in Germanic lands, Scandinavia, Britain, and elsewhere, people included fairies in their retelling of the stories.

Jacques Vallee Reveals the True Nature of Aliens and Fairies 

Jacques Vallee, a well known UFO researcher, wrote in his book Passport to Magonia that from ancient times people have described encounters with fairies that seemed to have intercourse with human beings. Vallee compares demons with fairies in the same book:

"What we have here is a complete theory of contact between our race and another race, non-human, different in physical nature, but biologically compatible with us. Angels, demons, fairies, creatures from heaven, hell, or Magonia: they inspire our strangest dreams, shape our destinies, steal our desires......
But who are they?" [2]

The Bible reveals how a third of God's angels rebelled against Him, and became fallen angels that served Satan, who had been known as the angel Lucifer. Revelation 12 speaks of a great red dragon (Satan) who drew a third of the stars of heaven.

Revelation 12:3-4 a.
[3] And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. [4 a.] And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: ..."

Isaiah 14:12 speaks how Lucifer (Satan) is fallen from Heaven. The prophecy says: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!" In Luke 10:18, Jesus said that He saw Satan fall from heaven. Luke 10:18 — "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." Revelation 12 goes on to say how Satan was cast out of heaven with his angels.

Revelation 12:9 — "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."

These same evil spirits go forth seeking whom they may devour.

1 Peter 5:8-9 

[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

These evil spirits can appear as angels of light to deceive men. 2 Corinthians 11:14 — "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." They are deceivers and liars that make themselves appear like what they are not. If demons can appear as angels of light, why can't they appear as fairies, elves, leprechauns, dwarfs, trolls, monsters, dryads, nymphs, aliens, etc.?

Mr. Tumnus

In The Chronicles of Narnia, many of these magical creatures are seen, including satyrs or fauns, such as Mr. Tumnus, who helped Lucy in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. One of the most well known fauns is the pagan god Pan. Like Pan, Mr. Tumnus appears as a half man, half goat creature. Pan is known for being a symbol of lust, immorality, and paganism. Disturbingly, Mr. Tumnus (the Pan look-alike) brings a little girl to his cottage. He offers her tea and plays music that enchants Lucy. Here's what C.S. Lewis wrote (from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe):

"Then to cheer himself up he [Mr. Tumnus] took out from its case on the dresser a strange little flute that looked as if it were made of straw and began to play.

And the tune he played made Lucy want to cry and laugh and dance
and go to sleep all at the same time. It must have been hours later when she shook herself..." [3] 

In the 2005 movie adaptation, this magic flute causes magical figures to appear, dancing in the flickering fireplace flames of the cottage. IMDB said of the faun's music: "He plays a hypnotic tune on a flute-like instrument, and Lucy actually sees shapes form in the flames of Tumnus' hearth fire, shapes of a man riding a unicorn, and fauns and dryads dancing." [4]. 

Aslan Verses the White Witch

The magic flute is just the starting point for more occultic elements that Lewis will put in his Narnia books. The very fact that a children's story is portraying an "evil" witch who has the power to put spells on an entire country to cause a perpetual winter is disturbing, knowing that real witches do exist today. Making a witch seem powerful and able to cause perpetual winter is not biblical because the devil does not have the power to do such a thing. The devil is the one behind all witchcraft. Satanists use a type of sorcery that knowingly requires the use of demons. The devil does not have the power to cause eternal winter or summer. But, in the Narnia world, this evil witch can cause everyone to suffer from the cold of winter.

Aslan, the lion character, appears on the scene to stop the evil witch and break her spell of winter. But, Aslan himself uses magic. The very way Lucy and her siblings arrived in Narnia was due to magic. But, in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a magic spell-book is used.
