I’ve been a Witchschool lifetime member for several years now. There are many things to recommend it, but Witchschool is like a buffet: Pick what you want, because there’s also crap there. Organization is a joke. Some of the “courses” are so riddled with grammatical and spelling errors as to be incomprehensible. I volunteered to help clean things up, as I have been a professional writer for more than 20 years now. There was an effort that got started, but never went anywhere. Or at least, I was let in the loop and then taken out. The Correllian “church” seems to be very cliquish and some of that attitude spread to the school, even though they were supposed to be separate entities.I think Witchschool provides some important services, especially to solitary pagans. But it is not up to its own lofty goals.

Witch school was my intro to the Pagan World. I became clergy with their degree programs. As time progressed, within the study programs and student council, all done online, there was an increasing amount of bleating as people turned into sheep as Don Lewis and Ed Hubbard were treated like demi gods who could do no wrong. They advertised to buy your lifetime membership before 1/04 or never be able to purchase it again and we found out that Ed Hubbard was selling lifetime member ships on ebay cheaper than what we paid for them, not to mention he also auctioned off books and material on Ebay cheaper than Witchschool was charging us for them. A good friend of mine was blasted by Rev. Don Lewis for standing up and speaking against the hypocrisy and was basically banned because of him. Then came the charges of embezzlement from Lord Davron against Ed and Don and they retaliated with their own Witch Hunt against Davron by accusing him of being a Satanist. A witch hunt within a Witch school.Ed Hubbard and Don Lewis did what they wanted to without any thought to the members who supported them with their hard earned money, so it seems in my opinion. They controlled information that was given to members, much like a cult would do in addition to not being honest about financial matters.Now they have NOT informed one of us that they are selling Witchschoo. They do more double speak by saying us supporting and lifetime members will still have our accounts honored but then say our information won’t be sold. Well how can you grant us what we paid for if the new owners can’t figure out who we are? So yes, our information, our personal information will be handed over to the new owners, Goddess knows who that will be.Witchschool never offered us a choice in the matter. But that is how Witchschool has operated all along; they do what is best for themselves and expect the Outer Court members and us Inner Court clergy just to follow along like bleating sheep.What I find amazing is the statments of using Don’s work of the Wicca program is stealing or copy right infringment. I wish someone would investigate the sources Don Lewis used for his Wicca program. For anyone who thinks that the Correllian Wicca program differs from any other book on the market, or that there are family secrets or special insights in the Wicca program are sadly mistaken. You can buy Raymond Buckland’s book of Witchcraft (along with numerous other books) and find all the same information. At least for Buckland, he traces back into the Saxon heritage. There is NO heritage in Correllian.

And now the eBay listing has been pulled.I think there may have been something about the comment that Ed reserved the right to ultimately refuse to sell the place to the highest bidder.

One quick last thing. So everyone agrees that witchschool is bad correct? so i agree with the person above. You should be happy that its closing. I don’t quite see the downside for the community if its really as big a detriment as everyone clams it is. From searching the web a bit that seams to be a large majorities opinion, correct me if I’m wrong. Then the sale should be a good thing, maybe someone will buy it and make it something that the pagan community would appreciate.
