Oh.... I thought you meant that Narnia crap.

Perhaps Lewis was looking at a map of Middle Earth.... from another Christian "create my own mythology" nut. They were buddies.

I read a book by one of these Christian fantasy nuts written in 1932 called "The Greater Trumps"...about Tarot cards which at the time (early '70s) fascinated me greatly. No, I didn't think they divined anything (actually, that notion of fortune telling doesn't even come in until the 19th century) but the history of cards and the artwork, the idea of what a pack of cards are, and stuff like that. Anyway, it was kinda a fun fantasy. But that endless Narnia and LOTR stuff....zzzzzzzzz....
