Mention of Aslan's How

Where is it mentioned in HHB? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.75.248 (talk)

It is mentioned in Chapter 12:Shasta In Narnia of The Horse And His Boy. Srinivas G Phani (talk) 12:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Expansion-worthy?

This "stub" surely contains all one could wish to know?--Paularblaster 12:08, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

You are right! Srinivas G Phani (talk) 06:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Stable Hill

Although: for some reason I've always assumed this was Hill of the Stone Table / Aslan's How so many thousand years further on ... Is there nothing explicit (or implicit)in The Last Battle to indicate this? --Paularblaster 22:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

No, there isn't. What would have become of the fort and the table? The Last Battle is only 252 years after Prince Caspian, by the way. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 22:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Secondary sources

This article needs more non-plot information. If anyone should be inclined to work on that, here are some secondary sources to use which came up in the deletion discussion:

• A Guide Through Narnia:P. 214 has plot summary and 3 sentences of analysis, linking the Stone Table to paganism (and similar symbols in another of Lewis' books) and the veil in the temple. In additon, p. 159-160 has three paragraphs, linking it to Old Testament Law and how it has to be overcome for salvation in Lewis' Christian world-view ("the Stone Table will crack ... What a marvelously succicnt expression of New Testament message of..."). P. 165: comparison with the communion table, + more plot summary from Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which is not yet in the article.
• The Good Guys and the Bad Guys - Teachable Moments in the Chronicles of Narnia: Also relates it to the veil in the temple, but goes beyond A Guide Through Narnia in explaining its symbolism. Compares it to the stone that rolled away from the tomb at the Resurrection of Christ. "On a yet deeper level", like A Guide.., compares it to the Law, but more specifically the Tablets of Stone and what that signifies. And in just one sentence compares it to the cross.
• HISTORIOPHOTY IN THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: Linking it to Golgotha
• The A-Z of C.S. Lewis, a better source for the word origin, already present in the article.
• [1]: Association with "white magic".
• [2]: Technical treatment in the movie.
• Copley News Service
• Virtually Sacred: Myth and Meaning in World of Warcraft and Second Life about a different but definitely related Aslan's How.
• And more sources came up in an earlier deletion discussion here. Daranios (talk) 10:58, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
