    While most universities in America may have started out as seminaries dedicated to the study and propagation of the Gospel, they're a far cry from those foundations now.

    I'm not talking about their jaunt down the path of secular humanism, because, as it turns out, that path was just a detour back to the occult and paganism.
    Once the bastions of logic and reason, universities are now pushing spell writing and tarot card reading as academic pursuits.

    Let's take a look at some of the things the future generation of America will be studying this fall:

    Yale is offering a course called "History of the Night" that will use,
    ... a cross-disciplinary approach to examine how the night became the abode of the ghost, the devil, the witch, and the dead.

    Duke University is offering a course called "Radical Magic" that,
    ... will address such questions and more over the course of this semester by surveying the ways in which magic and the supernatural have been coded as feminine, irrational, and sinister.

    And the final project for the class is more than literary exploration:
    For your final project, you will create your own personal grimoire, or spell-book. Yes, you read that right — a spell book!

    The professor even said that students will be doing psychic readings on each other.
    Students do readings for each other, and in doing so they are training their brains to make connections between cards, to create complex stories that add up to a totality.

    Georgetown University is offering several courses on witchcraft, including one called "The Problem with God," which includes the study of,
    ... rituals, symbols, shamanism, expanded states of consciousness, spirit possession, magic, divination and witchcraft.

    Indiana University has an honors course called "A History of Magic; or, It is All Fun and Games Until Someone Gets Accused of Witchcraft," which,
    ... will make use of the rich IU collections to gain first-person experiences of magical objects of all kinds. We will appreciate magic-inspired art at the Eskenazi Art Museum, find magic books in the Wells library, learn how to classify magic objects in the Archaeology and Anthropology Museum, and look at spooky photographs and charming tools of stage magic in the Lilly library. In doing so, we will think about magic not only as words on a page or a screen, but tangible objects we can interact with, just as people have done for centuries.

    Tulane University is offering "Ancient Magic, Modern Witchcraft," where,


    etc etc...

    I imagine those courses are 'electives', fluff classes that one is forced to take... I don't know why but was told electives rounds out the individual as the school knows what makes a good person better than you do, so you are forced to pay for electives and take the courses if you want to graduate. I took mostly English courses, because the damn English language makes no sense, even though I am a native speaker and even after all those electives courses it still doesn't. I wouldn't put too much by them. Also, witchcraft, paganism, etc. is part of mankind's history so...

    On another note, witchcraft and dabbling in the supernatural is alive and well in many other countries, not just the USA. I went to 'readers' in Moldova, Romania, throughout Central Asia and I think even in Odessa, Ukraine when I was there. It is a part of society in Eastern Europe, mainly the former Soviet Union... I'm not sure why but do have a theory.

    Most of these readers are fake, at least 99% are charlatans, but I believe some are very, very real. I came to this conclusion after a reading where a Moldovan woman told me crap that it was impossible for her to know, very personal stuff. She didn't even speak a word of English. She was extremely accurate, scared the crap out of me! It was impossible, just impossible for her to know this stuff. She even told me the initials of the woman that I would finally find contentment and love which turn out true, among some other predictions. I don't go to them anymore, never been to one stateside either, but I do believe some people, a very small percentage, can actually do this. I'm not sure if this is Witchcraft or good or bad but I stay away from it now.

    Given the way things are going here stateside, maybe I should give them a try and see if we can get a glimpse of the future...then again, maybe I don't want to know. LOL! :)

    Magic is most certainly a real thing - look how many Democrats get elected again and again.

    Magic is carefully crafted deceptions.
    I have known 4 magicians in my life time that were professionals with an exceptional talent, however,
    These did not use witchcraft but were simple slight of hand and a great deal of preparation before a show. I toyed with learning the craft but a check in my spirit taught me better. Noble deeds are not equivalent to God's will. Nor should any one confuse/equate magic with God's hand. I cooperate with God for His intervention in the lives of others, I dare not attempt to manipulate His hand.
    I have been acquainted with those that dealt with demons doing their bidding, these are dangerous.
    A girl that escaped that world told me that in one meeting they turned a cat into a rabbit but in the attempt to turn it back turned into something dead and unrecognizable.
    Some magic is group hypnosis the power of suggestion, much of satanic workings involve drugs one may have ingested either by some one's slight of hand or a voluntary curiosity and abandonment.
    Satanic creatures are older than the earth and know human nature better then all men, to think you will out smart them is foolish. However they must yield to the power of Jesus name, only as a defensive posture. the fascination of involving one's self in their world is a hook your not going to remove with out God's intervention.
    An arrogant big fish can still be taken by the tiniest of microbes.

    Zimmy Wait, I'm not ready!

    Witchcraft is a really broad term. Depending on the context, I may or may not be a believer.

    Bored new Wiccan housewives with magic crystals, vision boards, and carving colored candles...not so much.

    I've been to a legit seer as well in Italy. The old crone grabbed me on the street and blasted me with a bunch of current and past knowledge then some pretty dire predictions. I ain't dead yet, so not all verified. She didn't take any money.

    Are there spirits, demons, Kandahar giants and a ton of shit out there? I believe it. Am I gonna go looking for trouble, not an effing chance. They come to me and the fight is on with God himself strapping on my armor.

    Paganism, power of suggestion, mass hysteria, non-Christian miracle workers? The Bible says yes to most of that. I'll stay in my lane, thank you very much. God's will crushed a lot of that shit into the dust in the Old Testament. I'm on the winning team already.

    I know young people have struggles of identity spiritually and I know they go against their raising in rebellion. I just pray they come back at Christmas for a hug and kiss under the mistletoe. Even with a dorky crystal necklace or copper bracelet honoring Freya or Gaia.
