4.3.2 Aslan’s Breath
Aslan’s breath is the allegory of the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit. Aslan breaths onto the frozen characters whom are killed by the Witch and they
are restored to life: He was indeed. He had bounded up to the stone
lion and breathed on him. Then without waiting a moment he whisked round—almost as if he had
been a cat chasing its tail—and breathed also on the stone dwarf, which as you remember was
standing a few feet from the lion with his back to it. Then he pounced on a tall stone dryad which
stood beyond the dwarf, turned rapidly aside to deal with a stone rabbit on his right, and rushed on
to two centaurs. p. 87
Lucy looked and saw that Aslan had just breathed on the feet of the stone giant. p. 88

4.3.3 Hill of Stone Table Aslan’s How
Hill of Stone Table is also know as Aslan’s How. It is a high mound or cairn south of the Great River in Narnia next to the Great Woods. The word ‘How’
derives from the Old Norse haugr which means hill. In part of England it is a
synonym for a barrow, or earthern burial-mound. The hill of Stone Table is the allegory of the Golgotha, place where Jesus is crucified like written in the Holy
Bible. While the Stone Table itself is the allegory of the cross: And they brought Him to the place Golgotha,
which is translated, Place of Skull. Mark 15: 22
as also written in John 19: 17-18: And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place
called the Place of Skull which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha
Where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
And in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: … Then he turned from them and walked out on
to the top of the hill. p. 79
