When I was child I went to a Llandaff Church in Wales school and had Christian assembly and was brought up with the idea of hymns and prayers to Jesus and God although none of it made much sense to me. As a child, not even knowing the term, I was an atheist although very spiritual.

This was to change when I came upon the CS Lewis Chronicles of Narnia books that awakened some understanding in me that I could relate to. I read and re-read all the series and have done so many times since. I am about to again.

If you asked me what are/were the most important books in my life, without any hesitation I would answer the Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis and also his "adult" Science-fiction books Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra. These books were my spiritual awakening in many ways.

They are all deeply spiritual books and are about a struggle between the forces of good and evil. In the children's series there are humans, talking beasts and other beings from myth and legend, some good and some evil.

Time and place are very much an illusion and the children in the books move from Britain as it was in their day to the magical world of Narnia at various times in its history where many years of its time have elapsed but not so on Earth.

Aslan is a Lion and obviously also represents God and Jesus. He is the creator of Narnia and also has to be killed and resurrected.

I was so impressed with the books by Lewis and the character of Aslan that my only son's second Christian name is Aslan.

In the children's books, a war is being fought between good and evil and one world has already been ruined by an evil witch. The talking beasts and other beings from human myth, as well as most of the children, are on the side of Aslan.

In the Science-fiction "adult" books evil is taken from Earth to Mars and Venus by a scientist, who wishes to conquer the universe and thinks nothing of destroying the alien cultures and beings he encounters. He embodies the Devil but is paralleled in the world today in the "conquest of space" that vast amounts are being spent on. In conspiracy theory and ufology it is believed that humans are not being allowed to take their war-making and other evils out to the other worlds.

In the children's Chronicles of Narnia the last book is aptly named The Last Battle. It has obvious parallels with the Biblical Armageddon and the very real war being fought out between the opposing sides on this world now.

I am very much a believer in synchronicity and watching for sign from the cosmos, signs from God, or clues to the bigger picture and your personal pathway in the never-ending jigsaw and story. Over the last few years I am increasingly getting cats, lions, the sign Leo and images of Aslan coming into my life. At present on a daily basis!

I have lived with cats since I came to Tenerife and the lady cat Tiggy is my closest companion. I have even had thoughts about wanting to be a cat in my next incarnation or to live in a world of cat-beings.

I recently published a hub about all the women friends I have who are born under the sign of Leo. I then discover that Jill, who is the second person who will be coming here to help me by looking after my cat while I go to visit my family later this autumn, is another born under the sign of the Lion.

I recently made a new friend on Facebook - the well-known singer-songwriter Dot Allison, and yes, she is yet another Leo. As an example of synchronicity Dot's album Room 71/2 (Arthoused) gets reviewed right next to my Welsh Wizard (DMMG) on page 46 of the September issue of Buzz magazine.

And here at hubpages there is Aslanlight!

Today, I got David Icke's latest newsletter and one of the images is a lion with the caption: "A Lion sleeps in the heart of every brave man" - Turkish proverb.
