I definitely agree that this sort of thing is apparent in Lewis and Tolkien, because their writings on magic and myth heavily influenced my own view! :) Also your character sounds neat. Thanks again!

This opinion is of course apparent in some of the great fantasy works written by Christians -- I'm thinking, naturally, of Lewis and Tolkien -- for example Aragorn's healing herbs, or the tree spirits of Narnia. I've been thinking a lot recently about religion, magic and fantasy - how then can be intertwined, specifically in the novel I'm writing - and one thing that's clear to me is that my magic gypsy character has a much better understanding of the world/life in general than the others. I'm hoping that through him will come some sort of idea of a greater power. <br /><br />Great post! I've mentioned it in my monthly roundup for October :)<br /><br />http://wishingiwasnorthern.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/remember-remember.htmlEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.com
