Halloween Series: Witches in Fiction ✨Jadis the White Witch is the main antagonist in ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ novel by C.S. Lewis. In the novel Jadis has usurped power over Narnia, having magically forced the land into an ‘endless winter’ during her reign, which had lasted for a hundred years. Though it is always winter, she prevents Christmas from ever coming. When the Pevensie children arrive in Narnia via Digory’s magical wardrobe, it is explained to them that, according to an ancient prophecy; ‘When two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve fill the four thrones at Cair Paravel as Kings and Queens of Narnia, the reign of the White Witch and the endless winter would end.’ Jadis is well aware of the prophecy, and employs spies to tell her of any human that comes to Narnia. The White Witch’s most notorious deed, aside from uttering the Deplorable Word that destroys Charn, is killing Aslan on the Stone Table (as a surrogate for Edmund), her right by the Deep Magic. Aslan returns to life by Deeper Magic, and in the subsequent battle, Aslan kills the witch, ending her reign of terror.(Elie Saab Spring 2018 Haute Couture Collection) -- source link
