I have been seeing a lot about C.S. Lewis lately and I want to warn against following any of his spiritual philosophy. In my opinion, he was heavily interested in the occult and not actually a Christian. I’ve linked a paper below that goes into this, but I first want to detail why I came to question his faith.
I was reading the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and found this quote describing the Witch as odd:
> “She comes of your father Adam's" -here mr Beaver bowed- "your father Adam's first wife, her they called Lilith. And she was one of the Jinn. That's what she comes from on one side. And on the other she comes of the giants. No, no, there isn't a drop of real human blood in the Witch."
I thought this was odd. And then later he mentions Bacchus (Dionysus), a major figure in occult theology.
I then looked up C.S. Lewis and the occult and found this quote from him (post conversion to Christianity) regarding Apollo:
>At Daphne it was hard not to pray to Apollo the Healer. But somehow one didn't feel it would have been very wrong — would only have been addressing Christ sub specie Apollinis.
Very strange to call a false god or demon a sub specie of Christ.
I delved into it more and found this paper that outlines the problems with Lewis’ theology:

While I like his writings, we should beware that the man was not a Christian. In fact, I have seen it argued that Aslan was a symbol of Lucifer and solar worship, since lions are associated with the Sun and his arrival marks the end of the Witch’s winter. Very insidious, if true, since the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is such a beloved children’s book.
Jews are also not monotheists, not the modern pretenders, who are Gnostics which serve every false divinity both above and below the earth, and certainly not the ancients, who fell into polytheistic paganism many times and were punished for it. Christians, and by extent Muslims, are the only true monotheistic religions with any major numbers (one could argue the Buddhists and Brahmins are also monotheistic, but their "god" is an unmanifested and unthinking unconscious bound to its own "creation").
The bible is the most ancient historical documentation we have (or at least was accepted as historical until the jews started subverting the sciences) and suggests that monotheism was the default state of men until men began declaring their ancestors to be divinities and started worshipping demons as they gradually descended in savagery.
