ok i hope i posted this in the right area

ok there are many kinds of schools and collages, if there was a school that offered class on the occult and witch craft and things to do with the supernatural nature, would you go your self , if so why. and if you have children would you allow them to attened? and if not why ?

if therewas a school like that i do belive i would go, and if i did have children i would allow them to go, reason to allow them to roden there minds

I would go myself, but would not allow my kids to go until they are old enought to make decisions not based on emotion or phase, like after finishing hight school mabe that would be alright. when they are around th eage of 18 or 19

There's a couple of local groups locally to me but i'm in the U.K (wales) and they are not attached to any Uni's or formal education whatsoever. You could try looking on the 'net'?

i know i would attend knowlege is power and i would also let my children ateend who am i to say what religion that should believe in

If there was a class like that I would take it, and if my children so chose to take it I would let them. My college does offer a class on mythology, not quite the same but I think it's a start. Though I must admit I don't see a Hogwarts like school in the near future, the people are not ready for that yet.

Of course I would, knowledge should never be withheld no matter wether you agree or disgree...333

ohh i wish we had a hogwarts, i would so attened, but you are right i dont think people would accept it

when I have kids...they will decide themselves what path they want to follow once they are old enough

Very true, a person can't really decide what 'religion' they want to be until they understand the diffirent concepts involved.

I think I might like to take a class like that. If I had kids, I wouldn't let them go until they were old enough to decide good decisions for themselves.

I would like to go myself to open my mind to new thing's but if i had children i would wait until they where of a suitable age and they could choose for them selfs if they wish to go or not.

Well i think it would be interesting to see what they would teach in a class like that and i would give it a go and why not be open minded about it. I would let my child go but not till she was a teenager, to let her make her own choice but yes i would let her go.

If any school or college in my area offerd a class on such i would be the first one signed up lol. I did take a world religons class and it covered Paganism quite indepth, but it seemed to me that they pressed the point of Christianity being the "right" way. I would definately let my child take the class, when she was ready to take it. Going off on a tangent about another thread, i will teach my child about different religons, expose her to them and let her decide, as my parents did to me. I think the teen years are a superb time to really learn and think on such things.

I most likely would as I'm very eager to gain knowledge on such subjects. Sadly, to some degree, it would be opposed due to the fact that religious teachings and other things not proven by science are not allowed in the public school systems.

I would go! Id love to see some thing like that!

i would go myself cause im always to learning new topics and seeing the world thru someones else views and eyes. As for my kids they will decide whereever they want to go for themselves(if i have any that is). i wont ever force my kids to not do something that I dont want them to do.

People would go against it.Cause of fear.
But,there is people who are making private schools and teaching on magic and cults.
But..to have it in a real school.
No way.Parents would not want that in schools.

I don't see why not... Afterall, they have catholic schools children attend to and they learn about the catholic ways. Why shouldn't it be the same with witchcraft and such? I find it very unlikely that a school like this would exist however. I really don't see anything wrong with it, it's YOUR belief system, practice what and how you will.

I personally would attend as or my children I would want them to know the other options open to then before they decided

They do at Duke

i would love this and if children are interested in these things then i would say let them go. its a part of our lives and if they want to make it part of thiers, i have no objection at all to that.

If there was ever a school like Hogwarts I would soooo go...why, cause of the principles of the school and how the school is held and also cant forget the fun!

There is a school...
it's called the church and school of Wicca...
it teaches witchcraft, etc. they have online courses...it is supposed to be in NC...i've also seen it referenced in a witchcraft encyclopedia...has anyone attended i was thinking of enrolling...gotta start somewhere right...lol if anyone had been or taking online courses there or has any suggestions please send me private message....thanks again :)

There are some colleges that offer these types of classes. My college in Ohio offered one in Angels and some other 'out there' topics. On the sign-up sheet and when paying the college had it posted that the classes didn't reflect the beliefs of the college.

And I would defiantly go to the classes, if I had the time and money. I was going to attend the angel one but I couldn't because I moved to Tennessee.

As for whether I would let my child attend one, probably not until their teen years. I remember how confused I was and am because of others trying to suggest and force their own beliefs on me. I don't care to do that to my child.

I would in fact enjoy attending such classes, and when my future children were at an age to decide for themselves I would support them. Even if they were not necessarily into the occult, I would respect their desire to broaden their knowledge in all areas.

I would probably go, because I know that I would actually enjoy it and I'd benefit from learning more. If my children wanted to go, then that's fine, it'd be up to them.

I think that would be a wonderful idea, though hardly likely anytime soon.

Would I attend? Yes. Would I allow my children to attend? If they expressed an interest in it, sure.

It would be nice if classes like that were offered at my college. I would certainly take them. I would also allow my children to learn about whatever they wanted to.

Thanks Vlkodlak...I went to the witchschool website and it is great...i have already enrolled in courses...
thanks again...

I was going to mention the WitchSchool site. I enrolled there about 4 or 5 years ago, it helped me a lot in the early days. It would have been cool to have gone somewhere to learn stuff that wasn't online too though. I would let my kids make their own minds up, I certainly wouldn't have any objections to them going somewhere like that though. Rather that than some christian religion to which I couldn't relate to them with.

(and before the hate mail starts, I'm not knocking christian religions. Just that I don't follow them so I couldn't offer any advice about them. )

In theory it sounds like a good idea, but I'd want details on how it was taught. The class would have to fit into a degree program, and all sorts of logistical elements would play a part in shaping the class. The effects of those influencing factors let alone the intructor itself would be things I'd want satisfied before attending.

The idea is a very appealing one, but for the time being I'm afraid it's going to be up to the individual scholar and enthusiast to learn for themselves these things.

if there was a school like that I would go. I would let my children go when they were old enough and if they wanted to. but you can bet your sweet asses that the christians would make sure it would never happen. At the moment they are trying to get like over 100 books here banned from the library. to name two, Dr. suess (don't get it nothing wrong with his books) and harry potter books.

yes I would attend like others have said knowledge is power,as for my daughter if she wishes to go when she's old enough to decide for herself then who am I to stop her

Vlkodlak


thanks for the links :)

Yes to just get the basics,but for the rest I'd like to learn from my expirience.

If I had children,yes if they were old enough and interested.

I personally would attend , but would not push my children into it. When they become of an age when they can ask questions and want to know about diffrent religions then yes a school like this would be an ideal place to send them

I would go , just because I find it so interesting.

As far as letting my child go.....well she is almost 18, but still impressionable , If I felt she could handle it, and actually WANTED to go , I would have say we would then attend together...so we may discuss subject the matter.

I would not go but that is my personal thing, I would allow my children to do what they felt they must

Just imagine, that would be a very special school, the one wich teaches power, and since it is offering such a vastly powerfull subject at your mastery, it would be logicaly, more controled.


I wouldnt alowe any "schools" to teach my kids, and how to pull that one out.

Soon my kids would become mindles zombies, brainwashed, controled, and of course, used by the politicians to wreck some village in Peru, with their super telekinetic ability., all over and over again.

My kids would learn that one at home, not getting infected with the controlfull bullshit, wich is offerd in government schools.


On the other hand, I dont plan kids.

i would go, but i agree with the other person to my kids need to make there own descion on that right now though they would be way to young :)

I would like to go myself to open my mind to new thing's, and if i had children i would wait till they were old enough and teach them.

I would probably go to see what is was about, and if i had children i would probably let them go if they wanted to but i would have to know what the school was about before i would go to it...

I would go myself seems like a great place if it was real. As for my kids I would have to say i would let them go because I would want them to explore it and see if it was for them, but yes only at a certain level of maturity

i would probley go my self

there is actually a metaphysical college I have already been dying to attend..but I think if I had children I would let them go if they wanted to..but depending on their age..I would maybe try and get some classes with them! And of course I would make sure to check out the establishment beforehand

I would go myself because it never hurts to have knowledge...I of course would let my children make their own decisions on such things.

oh you really should come to england. we have m,any schools that teach comparative religions, and a lot of schools and colleges run evening courses on things like that.

I would probably check out the class to see if it was worthwhile, and I definitely would allow my children to attend if they were interested.

no, i only wanna go to college to get a profession. i can't be paid good money doing witchcraft.

I would go just to see what it would be like but i would not allow my children it would be a choice they could make when they hit the age to make choices on there on there own

I'd go to the class
that should be neat.

Personally, I am enrolled in the 1st Degree Wiccan Priest course through the College of Sacred Mists found at Workingwitches.com and the Druidic Bard course through the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids found at druidry.org.

I enjoy both, but I would be apprehensive about letting a child enroll. I don't think children should be working with spells and magick. Many adults shouldn't. The craft requires a good foundstion of wisdom, maturity, and patience.

I wouldn't object to children learning herbology, the Celtic calendar, mythology, ethics, etc.

I know of a few colleges what have classes in alternative religions and occult practices as a sort of sociology course. My high school would never be so bold as to offer something like that cause there would be too much oppoition. But I will definitely take those classes if the college I go to offers them. And if someone is in college then their parents don't really ahve any say over what they take, now do they?

Ah, if only Arkham University were real!

That would take lots and lots of thought beforehand.

I would LOVE to attend such a place- if I was sure that they would provide credible information- AND if there would be a way to honestly make a living from what I learned there.

Yes I would go because I think it would be a fun experience.
Yes I would allow my children go.

I have seen ads for online Wicca courses, but don't know if they are legit...as for my kids if I had any, they would be able to go once I felt they were old enough to decide fairly for themselves.

One thing to I would not want on online school or smialr but like a real school with labs and all

I would attend as said before knowledge is power and would let any chidren I had attend as well if they were interested or showed intrest

I would have to attend out of sheer interest, and any children I had could attend if they wished to do so.

To not know is to be ignorant. To be ignorant is you be unprepared. To be unprepared is to tempt death.

I would attend through interest and the lust for broadening my knowledge.

I would only allow my children to go when they were old enough, it is not the best time, to allow them to attend as such until they are stable, otherwise, things may turn for the worst and for the most part do.

I would love to go to a class like that. witch craft interest me and i would like to learm more about it there is only so much you can get from books and the internet.
The so called religious studys in school is not very broad and will never even touch the edges of wicca let alone satanism and anti-christ. Ok the last to arnt for everyone but wicca is an accepted religion we should be able to study it too.

I would love to go because I am interessted in such things as that and yes if I has children I would allow them to go if they wanted to

Yeah, I'd allow it. It would be much like a Comparative Religions course, would it not?

yes i would surely like to go there because i want to know about it more .

Echoing DireConsequences's post. The University's around where I am do the same thing. Ironically it is the federated colleges attached to the University campuses, such as Catholic, or Lutherian that offer these "public interest" classes. Mostly these classes are taught by the history professeurs and there is even one at the University I am attending, who's field of research presently is into Early Modern Medical knowledge and how it relates back to the Witchhunts and cases involving demoniacs.

Very interesting classes to attend.
:)

yes, i would go, but not allow my kids to go untill they fully understood what it was they were about to learn, and how to put it to use in a proper manner.

Yes i would go but if i had kids. They would have to wait untill theyre old enough to understand what theyre dealing with

Yes, I would go to a school of that kind. But as others have said, my children would have to decide for themselves, I wouldn't "send" them. Children will be what they will be!

I would go. But hogwarts would be better. Children should be old enough to understand/reason first.( abt. 16)

There is Servants Of the Light School of Occult Science locally here in Sweden. They are registered, non-profit. I think you can goggle SOL and pull up some information on there courses.

given the level of literacy on this site alone, I'd let my kids concentrate on reg education first.

I would let my child attend, it would be a great learning experience I think. I would attend with my child of course to make sure that what is being taught is to my liking though.

To be honest I don't know what I would do if my sons whated to go to a school like that

i'd be the first to sign up :p

hmmm depends what My mood was at the time Staz

I would most definately attend.

I have spent most of my adult life studying religious views from around the world. Everything from the regional occults tucked away in back corners to main stream religions. I have sat with voodoo priest and even had lunch with a bishop of the catholic church once. All in a persuit to "understand" what is really going on.

As for my kid. Easy answer. She should go, but only after I had previewed or taken the course first. There are some things she doesn't need to see "quite yet" and I am rather protective of that. But if it was an information based class...then I would strongly encourage it.

I would definately attend, simply because i want to learn more about wiccanism and to see how different it is from other schools. If my children wanted to attend, then I would let them..

i sure would it would be a excellent idea and yes i would let my daughter go so she could widen her horizens.

I would attend this school myself, as for my daughter she is old enough to make that choice, but I would have no problem with her attending this type of school.

i think i would go there.
and as some before me said i would let my daughter/son go there when i would know that they are old enough to take this decidion.

Well, I wouldn't have a problem with schools offering such education. Ignorance is not bliss, in my opinion. It never hurts to be educated on the world around you. Duke University was once a dream of mine due to its studies of the paranormal. Alas, I'm too old now. :(

I agree with crying mist

id go and let my kids go if they wanted to

I'd go... Spirits, precognition, empathy and psychic abilities... My reason is everyone could always use a brush up... I'd allow my children to go if I had any... it'd be their choice..

There are places where you can study the occult and other theological subjects if you look hard enough.

While I have no active interest to pursue a school or college that has an emphasis on the occult, wicca, pagan, and other nonchristian beliefs, I would have no problem if others did. If I ever have a child, I hope to raise s/he in a religiously conscious environment with no emphasis on a particular faith. The only way our young can truly decide what religious/spiritual path to go down, they must be aware of the choices and tolerant of others.

i would attend just because courausty killed the cat
my kids yeh id let them attend

I wouldn't go, nor would I allow my child to go, it's something that should be kept to the outside... or in private persay

I would go and would allow my kids to go just so they could view the world with an open mind instead of being close minded

I would love to go. The Arch Druid in my grove has a degree in religion but the only way to get said degree is in the field of Christianity. It would be great to be able to have a degree in say "Druid Studies" if you are an arch druid or just a bard or ovate...

I would look into the school for myself because I would be interested in the learning. I would prefer that my child wait until she is old enough to know her own mind.

I took a class in college that was the study of cults and deviant groups. The class studied Palo Mayomba, Santeria, Wicca, Santanism, and a whole bunch of other things. It was an incredible class. Part of the Criminal Justice track. I actually took a few classes that dealt with these types of things. Definitely worth it. I learned a lot. We even had guest speakers from each area.

i would attend this place and if i had children, they could too as long as they are old enough to make that decision as to whether or not that is what they wanted to do :)

I would and I would definatly love to have my daughter go to a place like that
