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 . . . )
