The Wizard of Oz is a beloved children's story that has captivated audiences for decades. One of the most iconic characters in the story is the Wicked Witch of the West, known for her green skin, pointed hat, and broomstick. However, there is a common misconception that the witch rides a vike. In reality, the Wicked Witch of the West is often depicted riding a broomstick, not a vike. The image of witches flying on broomsticks is a popular trope in folklore and literature, dating back centuries. The association between witches and broomsticks can be traced back to ancient pagan rituals where brooms were used as symbols of fertility and purification.
But who knew that from now the time will change for everyone. The next day only after the incident, Amit met with all of us and told that something strange is happening to him as if someone is following him. We all laughed at him and suggested him to go to a doctor.
but in these two days Amit with one of my friends named Suleman searched the nearby areas very carefully, they even dared to enter the temple also, but found nothing. Later that day we went to the hospital and met Abdul but he was unable to speak as he was fainted, but in that situation also he was constantly murmuring a name, which we immediately wrote in a page and he was telling about that key.
The association between witches and broomsticks can be traced back to ancient pagan rituals where brooms were used as symbols of fertility and purification. Over time, this symbolism evolved and became associated with witchcraft and magic. In the case of the Wicked Witch of the West, her iconic broomstick serves as a tool for her magical abilities and an embodiment of her evil character.
Cursed Coins
Magic Items
The new season of Hero Club, Here There Be Monsters, which is an imaginative high-seas romp with anthropomorphic races and some hilarious characters, has got me thinking about cursed treasure. It’s a staple of buccaneering adventures — even Hero Club’s new season seems to have some evil treasure at the center of its plot — so I thought it’d be fun to experiment with some cursed coins for your party’s next treasure chest.
After all, sometimes treasure chests are buried for a reason — nobody should touch these coins.
Gold Coin of Greed
Wondrous item, uncommon
Whenever you spend this coin, it magically returns to you 1 hour later.
Curse. This coin is cursed; picking it up extends its curse to you. Whenever you spend the coin, lose it, or discard it, the coin not only returns to you, but it multiplies when it does so, first becoming two coins, then four, etc. Moreover, whenever you spend gold pieces, the coin magically replaces one of the coins spent, ensuring that its number doubles.
Soon, the number of mass of coins on your person can slow or crush you. If the coins double 11 times, your speed is halved. If they double 12 times, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks, and if they double 13 times, you are crushed to death under their weight.
Breaking the curse with the remove curse spell or similar magic causes all duplicates of the coin to vanish and allows you to safely discard the coin.
Silver Coin of Wrath
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
Whenever you take damage while attuned to this ever-bleeding silver piece, you deal an additional 1d6 damage the next time you deal damage before the end of your next turn.
Curse. This coin is cursed; attuning to it extends its curse to you. You remain attuned to the coin until targeted by a remove curse spell or similar magic. While cursed, you take an additional 1d6 damage whenever you take damage.
Copper Coin of Cowardice
Wondrous item, rare
While in possession of this coin, attacks of opportunity made against you have disadvantage.
Curse. This coin is cursed; picking it up extends its curse to you. While cursed, you have disadvantage on saving throws you make against being frightened or intimidated. Moreover, once frightened by a spell or effect, you automatically fail any saving throw you make to end the condition early. This curse can be ended by the remove curse spell or similar magic.
Electrum Coin of Envy
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
While you are attuned to this coin, you can use your action to attempt to charm a humanoid you can see within 15 feet, which must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 1 minute. This effect ends early if you charm another creature using it or if you directly harm the charmed creature. Additionally, your clothes and possessions always appear to others as being in top quality and condition.
Curse. This coin is cursed; attuning to it extends its curse to you. You can only break attunement to this coin with the remove curse spell or similar magic. The goodwill secured by this coin is transient; those charmed by this coin will secretly harbor a resentment for you, and feel compelled to act in a manner contrary to your best interests once you are no longer in sight.
Platinum Coin of Immortality
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
Each day at dawn while attuned to this coin, your hit point maximum increases by 1.
Curse. This coin is cursed; attuning to it extends its curse to you. You can only break attunement to this coin with the remove curse spell or similar magic.
The health granted by this cursed coin is transient, for the coin always takes more than it gets. When you break attunement to the coin, the improvement to your hit point maximum vanishes, and your maximum instead decreases by the amount it was previously increased. This hit point reduction can’t be remedied by any means short of a wish spell. Furthermore, if the coin ever increases your hit point maximum to double what it would be normally, or if the coin reduces your hit point maximum to 0, you die and are reanimated as a skeleton the following midnight.
Wooden Coin of Lies
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)
While attuned to this coin, you are constantly under the effect of the glibness spell.
Curse. This coin is cursed; attuning to it extends its curse to you. You can only break attunement to the coin with the remove curse spell or similar magic. While attuned to the coin, you can’t deliberately speak the truth. You can be evasive in your wording, lie by omission, or speak half-truths, as long as your words remain within the boundaries of deception.
After hearing all the things from that old man we returned to that tree. As now only inderjeet was left who could climb the tree, he decided to climb the tree and check that if the key was there or not. After reaching that hole he was shocked that the key was placed as if no one has touched it for centuries. Later we also check that stone with that key and found that the copper coin was there only.
But the most shocking thing was that the coin was now also stuck with the page and that torn out page with that coin was there inside that iron box(where we found the coin for the first time).
It is often portrayed as an extension of her power and authority. While the image of the witch riding a vike may be prevalent in some adaptations or reimaginings of the story, it is not representative of the original portrayal of the character. This misconception may have stemmed from misinterpretations or artistic liberties taken by different creators. Nevertheless, the enduring popularity and cultural significance of the Wizard of Oz ensure that the character of the Wicked Witch of the West – whether on a broomstick or a vike – continues to capture the imaginations of audiences of all ages..
Reviews for "The Witch on a Bicycle: An Unforgettable Character from Wizard of Oz"
1. John - 1 star
I watched "Wizard of Oz Witch Riding Bike" last night and I have to say, it was a complete disappointment. The movie lacked proper storytelling, and the plot seemed random and confused. The acting was also subpar, with the characters failing to deliver convincing performances. The special effects were laughable at best, and the overall production quality felt cheap. I would not recommend wasting your time on this film.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
"Wizard of Oz Witch Riding Bike" had a promising premise, but unfortunately, it fell flat in execution. The pacing was inconsistent, with scenes dragging on for too long, and others feeling rushed. The dialogue was stale and cliché, making it hard to connect with the characters. Additionally, the cinematography was lackluster, with poorly framed shots and unimpressive visuals. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and dissatisfied with this movie.
3. James - 1 star
I can honestly say that "Wizard of Oz Witch Riding Bike" is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The storyline was convoluted and confusing, leaving me scratching my head throughout the entire movie. The acting was incredibly over-the-top and cringe-worthy, making it hard to take anything seriously. The special effects were poorly executed, with obvious green screens and cheap props. I regret wasting my time and money on this film and would advise others to steer clear of it.
