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 Table 4.3.2 Similarity of Characteristics between Aslan’s Breath in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Resurrection of the Holy Spirit in Christian Belief The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Christian Belief Aslan’s Breath • Can restore frozen statues into live statues Resurrection of the Holy Spirit • Can gives life to God’s creation Universitas Sumatera Utara 54

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 Table 4.3.3 Similarity of Characteristics between Hill of Stone Table in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Golgotha in Christian Belief The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Christian Belief Hill of Stone Table • Place where Aslan’s is being crucified Golgotha • Place where Jesus was being crucified Universitas Sumatera Utara 55
