Welcome everyone, been a member of this site for a while and it is so rich with advice, and sharing that I am honored to be a part of it. So much talent here! My focus is spreading my discovery of the mystery maps found on the end papers of book by L. Frank Baum "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." My next project is to write a "how to book" on his diagram that he discovered that will hopefully assist the creators of entertainment to be writing more towards our human psyche. I chose this path because "The Wizard of Oz" is the most watched film on earth, so surely, his magic was simply using known human psychology. Self evidence requires no teacher, because it is an innate and inherent part of each human being, Good luck to all!

What an interesting idea for the "how to book"! What got you interested in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz?
My discovery was when I began learning how to build in animation. I had drafted some diagrams that I sketched from reading about heaven in a bible, and I had to build something for class. For the streets of gold, my friend said she had some brick texture and I could color them yellow. I then made the link to "yellow brick road." Much to my surprise, after some further research my diagram was an exact match to the original map of Oz penned by Baum, that I now see as the diagram of how our human imagination operates. Thank you for your interest.
Thank you Kathryn, and best of luck to you also!
