It will be the wedding of the century! Sauron proposes to his ladylove Jadis of Charn, also known as the White Witch, to unite the lands of Narnia and Middle-Earth. I can’t think of a more perfect match. Can you?

The Reconciliation
This painting by Thanawat Techawongwilash was not labeled as being about Narnia in any way… yet it so obviously is, with a humanoid lion, a lampost, and woman in the clothing and hairstyle of the 1950s. The woman is Susan, of course, some years after she lost her family in a train accident and finds …
Two Interesting Maps of Narnia
I thought I had exhausted all the maps of Narnia that are out there but I did find two new ones, to me that is, this year. The first, the one above, is a what-if. What if Calormen had been successful in its invasion of Narnia in The Horse and His Boy? This map, overlaid …
White Witch Diversity, Part 4
Not done with the White Witches yet. There’s plenty more to display. For example, here’s a young fan’s cosplay. White Witchiness truly encompasses all ethnicities. A kind of Valkyrie, or Elf Queen maybe, that could be a spectacular White Witch for the stage. An unusual perspective of the White Witch meeting Edmund — she’s charging …

The most boring Narnia book cover, ever.
This is it. It’s AWFUL. Why is there a lion’s pawprint on a window? It only has three toes making it zoologically suspect. Or is that supposed to be a minimalistic version of the back of the White Witch’s head facing three of the Pevensie kids?
White Witch Diversity, Part 2
Sometimes it’s the simplest White Witch portraits that are the most effective, like this one here, which substitutes glacial green for the ubiquitous blue tones that are usually used for the background. It’s part of a homeschool art lesson. Another simple, yet effective, witch, with a gray or pewter cast. She seems not so evil …
White Witch Diversity, Part 1
Once again it’s time to present some notable and unusual depictions of the White Witch that I’ve discovered over the past year. Like this one, above, that’s suitable for a professionally published children’s book. The artist gave her no iris or pupils, which makes for a scary touch. Edmund looks very small and seems to …
