The piercing and sometime menacing look into the crystal ball of our own psyche, offers us opportunities to examine aspects of our life which are within our reach and accessed by the willingness to make new choices.
Dorothy set out on a journey fraught with danger, fear and the unknown. Much like Dorothy, we encounter our own travails of adversity as we travel on a whirlwind through life. While we may never encounter flying monkeys or a forest of unhappy trees, life continues to hurl obstacles at us to both divert our attention away from our true spiritual path, or to force us to stop and observe the strength within we muster to carry forth into the unknown.
Throughout her adventure, Dorothy's only goal remained consistent - to find her way home. In the good witch Glinda, she found a useful ally, only to later add to her cadre of seekers other characters along the way. Each with his own misfit malady, the solution for each dilemma purported to belong to the Wizard of Oz. Increasing their belief in his powers as the journey intensified, we see the quartet toggle between victimhood and empowerment.
