I want to be taught by Lilana D'Venus:

ETA: Yep, she's a pink wizard which apparently means I can have sex with her or something!

"As an ordained minister, she enjoys officiating weddings and conducting pet funerals"

Methinks I detect a slight conflict of interest there.

She's nice looking but she's blue. They're all about emotion and calmness or something. Bah!

She can't smite you, so you can just leave her and tell her your moons don't align or some shit.

I thought up all sorts of funny things to say about them.  I was even going to post a pic of the one with the odd eyes and the one with the strange nose growing out the side of her head, but I'm scared of them.   :oops:  What if they find this place?  What if they curse me?  No, I'll play it safe.  My nutty sister might know some of them, anyway.  She's always giving me odd teas and strange tinctures to try and cure all my ills.  I take them because she loves me.  She also goes to those drumming thingys and herb classes and does Rake.  BUT... at least she doesn't believe in all the goddess stuff.  She's an atheist.   :-)  I'm very sensitive to any sort of smiting.

I'm half tempted to buy their "grimoires" just to leave on my coffee table for when Jehovah's witnesses knock on my door. You guys should read the amazon reviews. One guy says the only knock against the book is it is wrong about some supernatural creatures, like how vampires are killed by sunlight. It's quite amusing, if you go by the reviews, this book will have you riding a broom in no time! Oh, and this Oberon dude? Apparently he coined the term neo-pagan, came up with the "gaia thesis" and is basically the shit in the pagan world. Alesteir Crowley only wishes he was this guy.

From Amazon:

Quote
Oberon has traveled throughout the world, celebrated solar eclipses at ancient stone circles, raised unicorns, and swum with mermaids in the Coral Sea. He is author of the acclaimed Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard, and Headmaster of the online Grey School of Wizardry.

Who knew unicorns and mermaids were so easy to find? Man, scientists really are retards!

Uh huh.

I was dying to read one review by someone who wasn't a pagan or a magician or whatever. But couldn't find one.

He really has raised unicorns.  At least, he has had bone grafts done to cause a horn to grow out of the center of a goat's head, which later got to tour with the circus.  Magical creatures, that.

Ahh...fuck that Grey School! We need to form a rival school of wizardy and badassery. I mean...who can't master beast mastery? A bag of goddamned treats. I want to be Headmaster of Pwnage....but I think that title should probably go to Slayerik or one of those other mean old pks. Also, any non-christian belief system that bases things on the 'new millennium' needs a kick to the balls for basing things on an arbitrary date based on another belief system.

I like Dr. Crow Dragontree. We need more mental health therapists that play lute, juggle, wear dragon masks and develop their own magicks.

If you wanted to be a wizard, why the hell would you want to learn from people that advertise on the internet?

One would imagine secrecy is at a premium given our history of, you know, setting them on fire.

Here's a pic!

I'll stick with these guys. They're fully contacted. (http://www.servantsofthelight.org/)


Title: Re: Hay guys lets become wizards
Post by: Riggswolfe on February 02, 2007, 10:57:36 PM
I'm not sure what fully contacted means, but out of the two "schools" this one looks more real. To clarify I mean that if I was going to try it out on the off chance that it wasn't all BS I'd try this school. These people don't seem to be going out of their way to be "magickal" and "fantastical". They seem more down to earth. For this kind of group.


Title: Re: Hay guys lets become wizards
Post by: bhodi on February 02, 2007, 11:07:04 PM
Heh, yeah. They're as real as it gets. I just used fully contacted because it was on the front page; From what I remember, in their belief system, that means they are sanctioned/assisted by angelics (from the 4th wave, I think?) in their astral plane explorations.

But she's clearly not a dark elf. Look at her.  White as the day is long.  She can be as chaotic evil as she wants, Necromancy is out of the question until she loses those retarded looking elf ears.  I demand they fire her from her "Professor of Dark Arts" position.

Voodoo for fun and profit!  Raise your own crop harvesting army of dull-witted, slow moving farm workers!

Blood magick!  Use the power of life's essence for fame and fortune while avoiding those pesky blood-borne pathogens!

Dim Mak!  Silence pesky coworkers through the power of oriental touch (additional oriental touch with full release can be obtained for a nominal fee from Ling, our hostess)!

I'm getting really creeped out.

With my Advanced Beast Mastery, I can compel dogs to fly into a feeding frenzy by dropping a special group of reagents on the ground. With extra lessons, I can compel them to walk beside me untethered. Finally, in the Advanced class I will show you how to teach your dog to ignore you completely, rendering it immune to Mental Suggestion and Domination.

When do I get tenure?

Can I be a Professor Emeritus of Pagan Atheists?  What, you think I want to actually WORK?  Besides, it makes the school look longer-lived and more prestigious to have former faculty filling out their roster.

Or maybe Women's Studies.  Studying the student body (and faculty and staff...) would be lots of fun.
