Wicked Part 1: The goddess-witch spectrum
contains spoilers
In this episode, I'll discuss the concept of my goddess-witch spectrum and how it can be applied to the characters of Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked. I'll also dive into the feminist undertones of this movie and what it can teach women about reconciling their own inner goddess-witch spectrum!
