From your link:

Lewis and Williams also drank and smoked together (2) which is hardly surprising considering how often drinking wine and strong drink is mentioned in Lewis' "children's" books!

Oh my, well that convinces me, all right! (rolls eyes)

Some more:

C.S. Lewis'
Sun Worship in the
Chronicles of Narnia

To begin with, "arslan" is said to be the Turkish word for "lion," and the most likely source for the name Aslan. The symbolism of a lion would not of itself be a particular problem if it were not for the other information which Lewis stealthily reveals regarding the particular lion he is writing about. Once the evidence has been examined it is certain that it is not "the Lion of the tribe of Juda" by any stretch of the imagination .

According to the Dictionary of Mythology, Folklore, and Symbols by Gertrude Jobes, the sun is "The active or male principle in nature, wanderer, lion, gold, symbolised by the bow and arrow."
