The Quiet Betrayal of Oz: Why Glinda Was Never the Good Witch

This episode reexamines Glinda—the “Good Witch”—arguing that her gentle image conceals a choice to withhold crucial truth, sending Dorothy into avoidable danger and trauma.

We unpack the slippers as the true key, Glinda’s redirections to the Wizard, and the harmful justification “you had to learn it for yourself,” showing how kindness can function as control and spiritual gaslighting.

Ultimately, the episode exposes how deferred freedom trains obedience, preserves hierarchies, and silences accountability, and it urges listeners to reclaim discernment and sovereignty over the stories we inherit.
