Harvard University is offering the following class in Spring 2007:

Folklore and Mythology 106. “Witchcraft and Charm Magic.”

Though not in time for Halloween, the spring semester’s “Witchcraft and Charm Magic”—from the Folklore and Mythology department—may be right up the alley of those in the Harvard-Radcliffe Science Fiction Association. Undergraduates hoping to learn some of the charm magic described in the course guide might even be able to try it while studying for exams. This new course taught by department chair and Professor of Scandinavian and Folklore Stephen A. Mitchell will also explore the history of neo-paganism.

According to the Harvard Crimson, it's one of the university's Notable Courses for 2006-2007. Fascinating! Now that Harvard is teaching witchcraft, maybe I'll go back to finish my PhD.

Thanks to Cosette at Pandora's Bazaar for the heads up.
