Narnia 1: Shannon Rose

This is Cosmo.
I didn't think I would find a picture of Cosmos or Chora.
So, here.

DIVING IN to Narnia, our class took a turn in discussing the origin, meaning and importance of myth. In this journal, I have decided to discuss chora and cosmos and their inherent significance pertaining to myth. 

Outside Source: Last year, I took Dr. Redick's class on Sacred Communication and we spent a unit on sacred place and discussed the concept of chora. I will reflect a bit on that material to give context, then relate it back to Lewis' notion of myth. Lane discusses landscape and differentiates between location and a further aspect of, possibly the same place, chora. Chora is, like I said, taking location a step futher, into the spiritual realm.  

That being said, Chora and Lewis' mythology actually have a lot in common. Lewis tends to create a place for his stories. There is a reason for this that we discussed in class, but I think I can take in on a different plane. Not only does Lewis use this invention of place in mythology for the sake of the reader, but also it is a result of his line of thought and spirituality. Out of the relation to chora (Lewis' sacred place) comes a chora (Lewis' invented symbolic worlds).
