In the film they seem to indicate she turned green from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Rkgu6xJ0H4k\">a scorned heart that literally withered away<\/a>! The Wizard Of Oz ended up having a thing for Glinda the good witch. So they&#8217;re saying Oz ends up in chaos due to women fighting over a man. When her sister the Wicked Witch Of The East was shown in her true non-glamoured form she was deformed yet devoid of the green skin. This indicates that being jilted is a key component&#8230;at least in the parallel dimension of Oz.<\/p>\n<h3>The Rise Of A Pseudo-Wizard<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wizard-Oz-Powerful.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5982\" src=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wizard-Oz-Powerful.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wizard-Oz-Powerful.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wizard-Oz-Powerful-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wizard-Oz-Powerful-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Wizard-Oz-Powerful-768x492.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The movie itself had a very interesting storyline along with being a visually dazzling production.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the story of a carnival con-man magician with no real powers. He is thrust from Kansas via tornado into the magical world of Oz. There the residents believe him to be the great wizard of prophecy meant to save them from the wicked witch which turned out later to be two wicked witches.\u00a0 The belief the good citizens of Oz had in the Wizard made him believe in himself. Enough so as to tap into his talent of trickery to create a plan to fool the witches into thinking he was all powerful.\u00a0 He and his new friends of Oz, ended up driving the witches away until we see them again in the original Wizard Of Oz movie.
