Oh hell, is this nut case still running around. I ran in to his lot some time ago and stole a few of his books to see how much he teaches. The two text books wheigh in at 800-something pages and cover magical theory in the same why Charmed does. Most of the stuff he talks about relate the sort of "ethics" my 3-yo niece get from sesame street. What magick he does teach is a very standard form of witchcraft with vague wiccan influences. There are many better places to spend your money.

I see... thanks for clearing that up.

I still admire him for trying to make a real life version of "Hogwarts".

I find Oberon to be an entertaining guy. He's been a part of the pagan scene from at least the 70s and maybe part of the 60s. In his way he is a pioneer. If I remember correctly, he was involved in the start up of the Church of All Worlds (CAW) which was based on the novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein. For some years he made most of his living by breeding unicorns. Essentially they were goats who had their horns grafted onto the middle of their heads. Yah I can easily see him jumping onto the Harry Potter train, but in fairness probably his Hogwarts type school is better than the Corellian Witch School, or the Frosts' school. I've met a few Correlians and wasn't impressed.
