All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixSo does this make Regina the real Witch of the West who represents innocence? Because she is the one who took down Zelena for real?

I think the prophecy does refer to Dorothy. Technically she fulfilled all aspects of it. She stayed in Oz until she “unseated” Zelena – the prophecy never said that the “greatest evil” was killed. And then she went home to Kansas after fulfilling her destiny.
However, I think the prophecy could have been interpreted in another way. Zelena, by fighting her dark side and winning, could have been the sorceress who fulfils her destiny by defeating the “greatest evil” i.e. her own darkness. Unfortunately, she chose to believe that the prophecy controlled who she is instead of trying to create her own destiny. That was ultimately what lead to her downfall.
One of the various theories I’m batting around for the finale is that Emma will end up being swept up to Oz in a cyclone in the past, and that’s where she’ll come into her magic again, and will off Zelena, for real this time, not like what happened with Dorothy, and it will be Emma who fulfills the prophecy. They’ve already started characterising her as being more witchy, even with the “ANDWICH” part of a “SANDWICH” sign glowing right over the top of her head. So maybe she’ll end up inheriting that 4th pendant in the finale. I guess maybe the product of TL would be more suited to the heart seat, but it could maybe make her a fit for innocence too, because her magic is so pure.
It occurred to me after a second watching but Dorothy DID meet her 3 traditional companions. Each of the witches represented something: heart, courage, and knowledge. Those were the Tin Man, Lion, and Scarecrow. They just also happened to be the 3 witches.
*cocks head* Huh, so she did.

It could have been the other way around, too: Zelena, wanting to believe the other witches, testing them just to make sure.

I think Emma wouldn’t accept that particular pendant, and apart from the “Neat!” reaction that we’d all have if we found that we could zap stuff, Emma doesn’t seem to want to be a magic user. But her magic has to go somewhere, so I’m guessing it’s what forms the book.

Not sure how I feel about the whole wizard of Oz story being put down as a metaphor for Glinda’s wiccan sisterhood, but Dorothy seemed pretty ok. The actress playing her did a fine job and she actually seemed more concerned over Zelena’s “melting” than Glinda ever did.
I don’t understand Glinda at all. When she first meets Zelena, she gives her the thumbs up for turning the wizard into a monkey, but after Zelena melts (and Glinda just shrugs it off) she is the first to head over to the wizard’s place and be all buddy-buddy with the disembodied voice behind the curtain. (Not to mention expose innocent young girls to his “trickery”).

And that’s a really nice theory!

I thought the writing for Glinda was really wonky. She kept changing her mind and going back and forth. Even after she tells Zelena she’ll never stop trying to prevent Zelena from undoing the past, she changes her mind once Zelena threatens to send her to the EF. “It’s not too late!”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"If I thought there was a chance we’d see Glinda again, I’d be declaring her Sneaky Glinda. Instead I think she’s just Inconsistently Written Glinda.
Yeah I agree with @Phee.
She comes across as really shady and sneaky but I think this is a case of lackluster writing.
