Are You a Good Witch or A Bad Witch I must admit it, I love the Wizard of Oz. I love the movie, the books, the remakes (okay, maybe not ‘The Wiz’ so much – and the whole Dorothy must kill the Wicked Witch image). There is just something about the idea of a nice, Midwest, farm girl be- ing dropped into a world of ma- gic and having to learn to live in a world where magic is a part of everyday life. The drawback is having everyone from my Aunt to my neighbors eventually asking me the Glenda question, “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?” While the question is almost enough to drive me around the bend at times – the very idea that a person is all good or all bad is just about the most laughable idea one could ever imagine. I mean, let’s face it, while we may want to be all glitter, bubbles, and smiles – I for one (to use a refe- rence from the books), am not a socialite with a propensity for ba- llgowns, and social causes.
