Although this world is imaginative it is still sacred. In Landscapes of the Sacred it says "the sacred place becomes the point at which the wonderous power of divine could be seen breaking into the world's alleged ordinariness." The children uses the wardrobe to enter into Narnia. The wardrobe symbolizes the breaking into the world's alleged ordinariness. Narnia is a sacred place to the children because this is where they become in touch with their Other. Do you think Narnia can be considered a sacred place in any other aspects? The idea of a sacred place choses you may work as well. The children did not expect a whole new world to be at the back of a wardrobe.
