Magick School, Actual credits? Options

Okay this is going to be an off the wall question.... but...

Are there any real, offline and online schools for witchcraft that aren't just money scams?
Like the degree actually means something to someone other than yourself?
I would like to think that a degree or several degrees on varies esoteric courses would be valid in "The real world" sort to speak.

There is ArcanoriumCollege.com..... I've been a member there since last September. It has some of the bigger names in Chaos Magic (Peter Carroll, Ian Read, Lionel Snell) and functions as an organized message forum. It is very similar to the "class lessons" segment of these forums. Membership is about $200 for one full year, in four $50 segments.

I've got to admit that I'm disappointed with them. On one had it's people whose books I've read since I was a kid, and there is one-on-one interaction with them, most of which is very down-to-earth. On the other hand there is a lot of New Age garbage there and there is just about zero dispute to anything posted by the "teachers." I think a certain amount of conflicting opinions makes things a little more well-rounded. It is very much a Chaos Magic based site, although it is not specifically marketed as such. It is not altogether bad, but after a full year you might have learned more by spending the money on books. Understand that you are paying to be at the feet of the Masters of Chaos Magic, and little else.

There is also my own Students program for [email protected], but I'll be the first to admit you get next to nothing despite it being totally free. It is assumed that you have some desire to use the stuff on the site and do so on your own without "help" from the website staff. You receive work-sheets, an email update on rare occasion, and the possibility to participate un-moderated with other students.

It could be worse. Look at http://www.academyofsorcery.com/, which is practically the very definition of a charlatan scam.
