The Kumbric Witch
According to many pagan Ozian faiths and Lurlinism, The Fairy Queen Lurline is the mythic founder of Oz, believed to have enchanted the land into existence and given birth to its one true ruler, Ozma. Followers of Lurlinism—typically older characters, like Nanny—practice this old, feminine, earth-centered faith, honoring both nature and the healing power of magic. Lurline’s presence in the novel represents an older, wilder order in Oz, one often at odds with the rigid Unionist religion of the Unnamed God. Her mythology underscores the cultural divide shaping the politics and identity of citizens across Oz.
