Do you remember the first time you walked through the wardrobe? For many of us, the Chronicles of Narnia were more than just stories; they were landscapes we lived inside. They shaped our imagination before we had words for why they felt so significant. Today, we are revisiting that feeling with a deeper lens.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Michael Ward, author of Planet Narnia, to decode the secret architecture C.S. Lewis built into his seven beloved chronicles. Lewis, a medieval scholar, didn't just write a series of fairy tales. He embedded each book with the symbolic personality of one of the seven classical planets—Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn.
What does it mean to live inside a "Jovial" story versus a "Martial" one? How do these planetary tones shape the soul of the narrative and the character of the hero? We explore how Lewis used the language of the heavens to create a rich, qualitative experience for the reader—an experience that operates beneath the surface of the plot, informing the very atmosphere you breathe while reading.
This isn't about finding "magic" in the text, but about recognizing the ancient, archetypal patterns that give our stories—and our lives—their depth and coherence. If you have ever felt that your favorite books contain hidden layers of meaning that speak directly to your soul, this conversation will illuminate why.
"The characters of the planets as conceived by medieval astrology seem to me to have a permanent value as spiritual symbols." C.S. Lewis wasn't just interested in the stars as distant objects, but as a language for the soul. In the Narnia Chronicles, he used this language not to predict events, but to create a specific atmosphere, a qualitative flavor for each story. It is the difference between looking at a beam of light and looking along it—a way of knowing the world from the inside out.
Join us as we uncover the hidden code of Narnia and discover what these planetary archetypes reveal about the stories we love and the characters we are becoming.
