Generally speaking, they came from his imagination, although they reflected his Christian beliefs. He said in a letter that for him the books started with an image or picture in his mind, such as a faun carrying parcels in a snowstorm (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe). He would usually have 2 or 3 such images and then try to make a story that would connect them in some ways. Aslan came from him having dreams about lions while working on the story.

C.S. Lewis drew inspiration for Narnia from a variety of sources, including his own imagination, childhood experiences, mythological and folklore elements, and his Christian faith. Elements of Narnia can be seen to borrow from various literary traditions, folklore, and medieval allegories. Lewis's love for storytelling and his interest in creating a fantastical world also played a significant role in shaping the land of Narnia.
