In my first reply to your post I showed in the four places where C. S. Lewis is mentioned by name that the Rosicrucian Williams was C. S. Lewis' life long mentor, not just that they happened to know one another. Here is more on the subject. (The Golden Dawn or H.O.G.D and the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons are all closely related as well)
For the background of C. S. Lewis' initiation into the occult:
From The Inklings -- Charles Williams (1886 -- 1945)
http://www.crossroad.to/Excerpts/books/lewis/inklings-williams.htmBrief excerpts:
From The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis by Alan Jacobs (HarperCollins, 2005) pages 196-198.
"Perhaps the most interesting person among the Inklings was one of the temporary members of the party: Charles Williams, an odd and charismatic man.... He wrote plays, poems short and long (including a sequence based in Arthurian legend), works of literary criticism, and theological treatises, but Williams was chiefly known for his novels.... Often referred to as 'supernatural thrillers,' they include... Black Masses, magical Tarot Cards, the crown of King Solomon, an Antichrist, and dead people who can speak with the living [i.e. necromancy].
"A reader of Williams’ biography is likely to come to the conclusion that he was rather creepy. His 'romantic theology'—which understands erotic love not so much as a path or ladder to the love of God but as a form of the love of God—encouraged him to flirtations... (Williams was married).
"He seems to have had the same sadomasochistic tendencies as the young Jack [C. S.] Lewis, though without ever escaping them. His fascination with the occult exceeded what most Christians think of as appropriate bounds. Yet few who knew him saw him in this light. Lewis adored him, finding him chivalrous, generous, even selfless, as well as a major thinker and a brilliant (though often too obscure) writer. 'I begin to suspect that we are living in the ‘age of Williams' he once wrote in a letter to his friend, and our friendship with you will be our only passport to fame.'
…
"Williams would remain in Oxford, continuing to work for the press but also giving occasional lecture series for the university, and of course meeting with the Inklings, until his sudden and unexpected death in May 1945.... Lewis was devastated by the loss, more than any of the other Inklings. Williams had... effectively displaced Tolkien from his place in Lewis’s life—indeed, he called Williams, in a letter written soon after the man’s death, 'my dearest friend.'"
…
[concerning Williams]
"...by the time he was in his late twenties he was making some study of the beliefs and practices of that semi-magical branch of Christianity known as Rosicrucianism. [An occult system using a blend of Egyptian and Christian symbols] During this period he read books by the Rosicrucian writer A. E. Waite; he entered into correspondence with Waite, and at Waite’s invitation was initiated (in 1917) into an organisation called the Order of the Golden Dawn....
"Among its first initiates was a coroner who allegedly performed necromantic rites... while another early member was black magician Aleister Crowley, the self styled Great Beast....

Showing the life long influence of Williams, C. S. Lewis' Rosicrucian mentor, of which the Rosicrucians are so proud, from one of their sites:
From the AMORC The Rosicrucian Order:
http://www.rosicrucian.org/park/library/1204_biblio_greater_trumps.htmlBrief excerpt:
The Place of the Lion (1931) was instrumental in bringing about the friendship between Williams and C. S. Lewis. It starts with the escape of a lioness from captivity and her mysterious disappearance, and involves the Platonic Archetypes come down from the Divine Mind... It also embodies Williams's teachings about the affirming and denying of images.

Finally from:
"Narnia" and "Lord of the Rings" are leading children and adults into witchcraft and Satanism…
http://www.tldm.org/News8/JRRTolkien.LordOfTheRings.HarryPotter.CSLewis.Narnia.htmBrief excerpt:
5) Both J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were initiated in the H.O.G.D. (The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), which is a deeply occult, black magic secret society. - A high initiated witch related that both Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were initiated in the H.O.G.D. (The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn), which is a deeply occult, black magic secret society. (The "Order of the Golden Dawn" was primarily made up of mystical "Christians" and former followers of Madame Blavatsky the founder of the Theosophical Society that still adhered to Luciferianism.) During a discussion about Tolkien and his work, this male witch commented that "The Hobbit" and the rest of the Middle-Earth series was merely an elementary 'primer' for witchcraft. He was even a bit irritated at the lack of background knowledge about Tolkien among the people gathered. Later he added C.S. Lewis to the conversation as another well known literary figure who was initiated in the H.O.G.D.

Conclusion if you want to boil a frog in water, heat the water slowly and he won't jump out. That is exactly what C. S. Lewis and Tolkien and the rest of the people here did. They are part of the Ecumenical movement which seeks to unite all religions together. In contrast God said "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". God the Son Jesus Christ said that He alone was the Only way and truth and life, that no one comes to the Father but by Him.
