In Frank Baum’s children’s fantasy novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a young girl, Dorothy, and her dog Toto embark on a journey without distance to the Emerald City. Along the way they meet three characters who represent powers Dorothy will need to confront the greatest challenge of her journey, the Wicked Witch (the “dark side”.) When Dorothy is told that she has had the power all along to find her heart’s desire she returns home and discovers that it has been there all along, in her “backyard.” We will explore this novel through the lens of Jungian psychology and find out what it reveals about our own personal journeys.
