he Occult Meaning of The Wizard of Oz

Is the Path to Illumination
The film follows (12) year-old farmgirl Dorothy.
The said above, the entire story of the Wizard of Oz is an allegorical tale of the soul’s path to illumination(Home) – the Yellow Brick Road. In Buddhism the same concept is referred to as the “Golden Path” 🔸

The story starts with Dorothy Gale living in Kansas, which symbolizes the material world, the physical plane where each one of us starts our spiritual journey. Dorothy feels an urge to “go over the rainbow”, to reach the ethereal realm and follow the path to illumination. She has basically “passed the Nadir” by demonstrating the urge to seek a higher truth 📚

Dorothy is then brought to Oz by a giant cyclone spiraling upward, representing the cycles of karma, the cycle of errors and lessons learned. It also represents the belief in reincarnation, the round of physical births and deaths of a soul until it is fit to become divine, the Yellow Brick Road of Oz begins as an outwardly expanding spiral. In occult symbolism, this spiral represents the evolving self, the soul ascending from matter into the spirit world 🌀

During her journey along the Yellow Brick road, Dorothy encounters Scarecrow, Tin Woodman and Cowardly Lion who are respectively searching for a brain, a heart and courage. Those odd characters embody the qualities needed by the initiates in order to complete their quest for illumination.
After surmounting many obstacles, the party finally reaches Emerald city in order to meet The Wizard(false god) 👤
