Regarding Wizard of Oz. The word OZ is taken from Libel Oz from Aleister Crowley.
Revelation 4:3 ("...there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald") Could this be why Dorothy sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," while the rainbow looks green in some Oz books because green glasses are worn in the emerald City where the Wizard is upon his throne?

The name Oz is taken from the title of the book upon which it was based. It was published in 1900, long before Liber Oz in 1941.

So it was the other way around. And do we now what OZ actually stands for?
