Through this story we hear how pride, power, vanity, & hierarchy out of whack creates difficulty or us on the path. This third book is about the way role and masks make us unconscious to our powerful selves. Dorothy is dunked as woman and re-awakens to her magical witch self, perhaps to herself in the role as the Witch of the East, forgotten during her exile from Oz. When she returns, Dorothy is dunked in water, which is a punishment inflicted on woman and used as a way to identify witches. She was exiled from the magical world of Oz. When Dorothy left Oz she lost the Silver Slippers that she would have needed to return by choice. Whereas in the first book, Dorothy arrives through the element of Air, this time she arrives through the element of Water. John Griogair Bell – Arlecchino Malbenvolio
