Ok so mother South is the mother of all witches and she supposedly died 20 years ago. There are young witches under 20, and West assumes her mother is still alive. In the books isn't Glinda of the South? I was just thinking what if Glinda took on the mantle (powers) of her mother after death and she gave birth to those girls with the help of Roan (Lucas).
Nemo Unus Animabus Carnem!
That could so be a huge possibility which makes the whole Glinda and Roan thing even more ewwww then it already is.
shareFor some reason, I don't think that the witches are created naturally, as in with two parents. Mother South had thousands of witch children, so I assumed that she created them with magic.
They are all still sisters, but just don't have fathers. The way we've seen them all act as a sisterhood makes me think that they weren't created with men involved like we are, that a witch like Mother South wouldn't associate with men in that way.
Glinda is the Witch of the North in the books as well.
The Witch of the South is a different witch.
In the books the Witch of the East and West were also Wicked Witches and the North and South were Good Witches but in the re-telling it appears those terms are not as relevant.
No, Glinda only became the Witch of the North in the 1939 MGM movie. In the original novel Dorothy is greeted by the Witch of the North, who is given no name at the time, when she arrives in Oz. After the Wizard departs in his balloon then Dorothy travels south to the Quadling country to find Glinda after being told that she might be able to help her find a way home.
shareYou are correct. Glinda in the book is the Witch of the South. In the this re-telling she is the Witch of the North. Probably as you said as a nod to the MGM 1939 movie.
