Magic, Witchcraft, Religion Course Enchants Students

Author: Diana Reyes   Source: The Accent Advocate (Contra Costa College)

Title: MAGIC, WITCHCRAFT, RELIGION COURSE ENCHANTS STUDENTS

Magical enactments — Anthropology professor Jayne Smithson acts out the curriculum for her Magic, Witchcraft and Religion course in LA-207 on Oct. 20.

Although the class discusses it, Jayne Smithson’s Anthropology 150 class is not about religion.

Rather, the anthropology professor analyzes attributes of religion, such as magic, divining and talking to the dead. The course is centralized on the existence of the supernatural, as well as the differences of how it is culturally interpreted.

"Gathering around bonfires is a common practice in pagan worship. As I remember, the bonfires that I attended during homecoming week when I was in high school were always in the fall. I am amazed at how we ignorantly participate in pagan, occult rituals.

I don't know why she wants to end all Pagan Practices, in the Name of Jesus, yet continue Devil Worship, elevating her Angelic Leader as a Devil. I know it doesn't really offend Devils by the association but, whether Jesus is really qualified as a Devil, none of the Solomonic Trads really were supposed to teach this sort of thing."

The word Daemon means a Devine Force, and I hope she finds harmony with the ones that plague her, coming as they do from her Higher Self.

Mad Mary's Musings are a contemplation of Felony, and someone should point out to her, the warning of Solomon, where someone can look guilty in accusations that fall apart in the Cross Examinations.

Of course we shouldn't be celebrating Samhain, in the Public Schools since, Public Education violates the First Amendment.
