Ok...so now i`ve read that article....
I don't see how they reference it to hogwarts or Harry at all...Wicca and other witch religions are totally different the fantasy witch and wizardry we see in movies like HP....It's just different...
And I'm sure things like this witch collegeium have existed before...I mean I've known plenty of ppl who practice Wicca (ok just a handful, but that's more than some ppl know)... Even one of my students claims she is a witch (and backs it up cuz her grandfather was a Shaman) mind you, she takes a lot of crap from other students who just don't understand...
So these ppl have to learn from others, and i'm sure meetings, or collegiums, or whatever you wanna call them are one way of doing it...
Anyway, it just peeves me when ppl like to mix up real magic and movie magic....
I'm still A huge Potter fan either way! (and for others, you may want to check out
