HISTORICAL WITCHCRAFT & PAGANISM PROGRAM
Take a journey through the ages as we explore
the history of witchcraft and paganism.
Your experience starts with a complete course in Historical Paganism. Travel through time, beginning four million years ago, and take a journey through the ages as we explore ancient paganism as it evolved on every continent and throughout every culture our world has ever known. Each lesson builds on the previous one to create a foundation of understanding across the continents. Your journey through Historical Paganism will take you from the very beginnings of our evolution, into Mesopotamia, Arabia, Ancient Persia, Greece, Rome, Europe, Asia and more. This is an in-depth, fascinating look into our spiritual past, filled with scientific fact and archaeological theory.
Prehistoric Beginnings
You will uncover the very roots of paganism and explore how some of the oldest cultures on earth lived a deeply spiritual existence.
Ancient People/Cultures
Going back beyond 5000 BC, explore the rich cultures of historical people across the world, from the Sumarians, Greeks, & Celts to Indians, Asians, Africans, & Native Americans.
Ancient Myths & Legends
You will explore and study some of the most important mythology ever written and how there are as many similarities as there are differences across historic cultures.
You’ll then move into the next course of this two-part program, The History of Witches in the Western World.
This course will provide you with an in-depth approach to the history of witchcraft in the Near East, Europe, and North America, as told through the tales of the mythological and historical figures associated with witchcraft and magick from the dawn of mankind to the beginning of the twentieth century. Through the analysis of their biographies and the contexts within which they “lived”, the student will be presented with the varied spectrum of women and men who have been
labeled as ‘witch’ throughout time; and the anthropological transformations which occurred throughout history regarding the changing figure of the ‘Witch’ and the nature of her/his power and their presence within the politics and pop culture of their society.
