Tuesday, February 07, Where is Oz? To welcome people who are new to Oz, I thought I'd do a new series of blogs about basic Oz concepts.

Still, my own take can be fun. Somewhere is Oz, magic land far away, beyond mountains, emerald seas Where is the Land of Oz located? Just up above are lines Dorothy says from several adaptations of the Oz stories. But none of those descriptions are very specific The works of L. Frank Baum give us some idea of where it is.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz doesn't tell us much, but it seems to suggest a Kansas tornado can get you there. However, looking at tornadoes, that doesn't add up. Baum suggests the tornado Dorothy is in lasts for hours, when tornadoes can last about ten minutes and can move at speeds more than miles per hour.

A ten minute mph tornado would be only 50 miles. Now, it's possible that it was a series of tornadoes, but for Dorothy's house to be smoothly carried from one to the next is a stretch.

All we can assume is that the tornado was magical in origin, and who was behind it? They're not telling Labels: Oz I think the actual wording is "beyond mountains AND seas" Why are the Munchkins and the Winkies swapped on later maps? Newer Post Older Post Home.

Yesterday's Oz Comics. There is also places in Oz that are very unpleasant, such as in the dark forest were fierce flesh eating beast roam free.

There also is a haunted forest, where many spooky animals and creepy critters live. There are many thick woods that stretch out for miles, and large rain-forests and jungles filled with lions and tigers and bears. Many villages and towns sit on hill tops overlooking the valley.

And many mountains hold steep misty waterfalls and dark mysterious caves filled with precious treasures. Many Ozians work in the Oz's gold mines and enclaves that are cluttered with gems and jewels such as rubies and emeralds that were used to decorate Oz's imperial capital aka Emerald City and the home of Glinda the Good.

There are also many farmers across the lands, especially in the Munchkin Country. The farmers live on prosperous farms that are filled with many richly grown crops of every healthy vegetable all in abundance. Oz even has a College if Ozians wants a proper education.

The Deadly Desert that surrounds Oz has never been actually crossed, at least not on foot. Anyone who has attempted to do so on their own, has never been seen nor heard from ever again to tell about it. Those who did cross it were carried over it, such as the humbug Wizard who came to Oz via hot-air balloon and Dorothy Gale who came via cyclone and eventually left Oz by flying over it thanks to the magic of the Silver Shoes , Ruby Slippers in the movie which carried her and her pet dog Toto all the way back to Kansas again.

The magic shoes however, fell off of her feet and dropped into the desert below The Wonderful Wizard of Oz The reason why this desert is so deadly, isn't just because of it's rough and harsh climate, but also because anything breathing and living, touches this desert even if just accidentally, dies by instantly turning to sand.

Glinda the Good Witch once helped her Royal Highness, Princess Ozma by using her magic powers to create a very long rug to walk on to cross the desert safely. This magic rug could roll out forever when Ozma visited the neighboring land of Ev to defeat the infamous Princess Langwidere and the wrathful Nome King and save the Royal family of Ev from the Nome King's imprisonment.

The Deadly Desert is also surrounded by many oceans which neighbors our world. In Baum's third Oz book published in titled Ozma of Oz , Dorothy Gale and Billina the yellow hen are shipwrecked and castaway into the sea. They climb into a nearby floating wooden chicken coop and washed up upon the shores of Ev, which is in the same realm as Oz. This also happened to the character Betsy Bobbin and her animal friend Hank the mule when they were shipwrecked and are cast away to this magical atmosphere in Baum's eighth Oz book titled Tik-Tok of Oz , published in The beautiful Mermaids live deep in the oceans which surround Oz and it's deserts.

They also care for all it's sea-life and live in a pretty little palace deep beneath the waves. Nymphs serve a similar function under the Fairies in the forests. The nymphs are helped by the ryls, who color the flowers and care for all plants; and the knooks, who are crooked creatures who govern the beasts.

The massive Gigans also served the Fairies until Fairy Queen Lulea who became annoyed with their large forms transformed them into the tiny Rampsies the smallest of all immortals. Whatever function they served is unknown, for they're only mentioned in Baum's short story Nelebel's Fairyland, in which the Gigans reshape the land in their boredom.

Each country in the land of Oz has a specific mascot color that represents the four vast counties and its imperial capital:. Also note, that the Emerald City is the official imperial capital of all the land. Like a metaphor example resembling what Washington D. These surround its capital, the Emerald City , in the center. The land is surrounded on all four sides by the Deadly Desert , which helps to protect it from discovery and invasion.

Oz is the largest fairy land. In the book, the enchanted footwear worn by Dorothy Gale were Silver Shoes with pointed toes. Ruby Slippers in the movie These shoes originally belonged to the Wicked Witch of the East and transported Dorothy back to Kansas by knocking the heels together three times in a row.

How the Witch created or obtained them was never elaborated upon by Baum, but subsequent books by various authors have given several different sources for their origin, including 's fantasy novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire, which says that they were a gift to the Witch Nessarose from her father, and were originally covered with glittering glass beads that changed colors. The Broadway musical based on Maguire's book further shows that they were originally silver, but were changed to ruby red by a spell put upon them by the Wicked Witch of the West , enabling the Witch of the East, who prior had been confined to a wheelchair, to walk.

A little known adaptation of the original story made for British TV in the mid's starring Denise van Outen explained that they had belonged to a visitor from over the rainbow who came to Oz before Dorothy and they were obtained by the Witch when the visitor wished herself home and they fell off her feet on the return trip. The Magic Powder of Life is a magic substance from the book series, which first appears in The Marvelous Land of Oz , published in It is a magical powder that brings inanimate objects to life.

The witch Mombi first obtained it from a "crooked magician. In order to make the substance, Dr. Pipt had to stir four large cauldrons for six years. Only a few grains of the powder could be made at a time. It is always described as being carried in a pepper box. This was portrayed in Walt Disney's film Return to Oz. Mombi 's shaker also contained three "wishing pills" fabricated by Dr. The Powder has been used by Volkov in his series. There, it is produced from a certain plant of such viability that the smallest piece can grow into a plant within a day, on any surface except for solid metal.

However, if it is sun dried on such a surface, it turns into the Powder of Life. No incantation is required to make the powder work. The second book of the series is centered around a man who animates an army of wooden soldiers with the Powder and uses them for conquering the Magic Land.

The Magic Belt is first introduced in Ozma of Oz published in The belt is a magical tool with seemingly limitless powers. It is generally used as a universal problem solver, and functions as a deus ex machina solution in several of the books.

Originally the belt belonged to the Nome King but was stolen away from him by Dorothy Gale and given to Princess Ozma. Ozma uses the belt several times to magically transport people, and most notably to make all of Oz invisible to outsiders.

It gives the wearer protection from harm. In the Oz books, this object is always identified as the Magic Belt—in capitals—to distinguish it from any generic magical belts that may exist in the fantasy universe. In The Lost Princess of Oz , Dorothy states that the Magic Belt only grants one wish a day: she used yesterday's wish on a box of caramels, but saved today's for an emergency.

Baum's decision to ration the Magic Belt to one wish a day may be a retcon attempt to limit the Belt's otherwise infinite ability to get his characters out of predicaments; at any rate, this one-per-day wish limit is never mentioned again in any other Oz book. It previously belonged to the Nome King before Princess Ozma took it.

In Ozma's boudoir hangs a picture in a radium frame. This Magic Picture usually appears to be of a pleasant countryside, but when anyone wishes for the picture to show a particular person or place, the scene will display what is wished for.

Sometimes the onlooker is able to hear sounds from the scene within the Magic Picture and sometimes an additional device is necessary to transmit sound.

A similar device is present in Volkov's series. There, it is given as a present to the Scarecrow by the Good Witch of the South.

It is a box of pink wood with a thick frosted glass screen.
