Online Academies 05/26/14 (Mon) 17:43:45 No. 10847

There are various online cults magic groups like Robert Anton Wilson's maybe logic academy, which appears to be down at the moment. I subscribed to a neophyte subscription which gave me access to all the courses that ran in the previous year. To be honest I found them somewhat lacking, although I didn't put much work into following them whereas if I joined a current group I imagine it would be more involving, talking to the people that are running it and other participants etc. The courses are quite expensive. I think about $80-$120 a course if memory serves right.

Maybe Logic academy has had many well known magii and counter culture icons run courses in the past, and presumably still do if their site being down is only a temporary thing. If they're down for good I'm gonna be a bit pissed I didn't get the chance to backup the courses I purchased.

There is also the Arcanorium College run by Peter Carrol which I've not had experience with and would be interested in hearing from anyone who has. They offer a free trial membership, a lot of materal open to the public and their prices are quite lower than maybelogic's are, they have a subscription for just everything (I think) and then you choose what interests you.

If it weren't for being an ex-NEET I'd probably check out the arcanium, but my mind is going to be full of mundane "educational" matters for the next few years so I'm treading the magical path slowly and would probably overload if I studied both, that said I might get a 3 month subscription over the summer.

Any other online academies out there? Anyone had experiences with either of the ones I've mentioned? Are they actually worth it or just a money making scheme?

I supported you on the second one, although I think the site name which was the basis for your proposition was kinda irrelevent to the overall scheme. I still dream of an occult tracker that isn't run by the jews at *.bz

The payment is mostly just so you can work with the big shots in the industry directly. Weirdly enough the physical headquarters of the arcanium is based like 45 minutes drive away from me.

Useless info is useless, we need to put shit into practise.

What do you think it was for? It was a gigantic study guide.

I think this is where the academy ideas, both /fringe/ and the already established ones came in. Higher ups could guide people along a structured routine of practise.

Structure and (self or otherwise) discipline are important in the occult. /hypocrisy

Improv idea for a /fringe/ academy.

IRC based tutoring, decide on a routine to practise daily, when you have practised daily for x amount of days/weeks and are showing development you get half ops or something, then when you're developed enough to take on new students yourself you get full ops.
