Just thougt I'd share . . .

We got our Spring 'Brown Learning Community' catalogue today (from 
Brown Universtiy) and they are offering a class called "The Problem 
of Magic in the Modern World".  The description includes, 

" . . .magic remains one of the least well-understood of our ancient 
practices.  What, then, is magic?  Is is just a strange mixture of 
decepton, superstition and primitive religion, or is there more to it 
than that?  Should magic take its place among the alternative 
spiritual disciplines, like meditation, yoga or mysticism?  Does any 
magic really work?  If it does, can we explain how in rational or 
scientific  terms?  Is magic inherently good, evil, or 
neither?  . . ."

The class will look at the theory and practice of magic through the 
ages.

Interesting questions indeed. 

Any thoungts? ;-)

to bed . . . )
