The class I\u2019ve been talking about since February is now open for registration. To sign up, go to the new website Under the Ancient Oaks<\/a>, click on Courses<\/a>, and follow the instructions.<\/p>\n

$\"Paganism$ <\/a><\/p>\n

Do you want to take your Paganism deeper? Do you want to explore polytheism with guidance from a practicing devotional polytheist? Then sign up for\u00a0 Paganism In Depth<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 the On-line Class<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This will be a six-week on-line class based on\u00a0Paganism In Depth<\/em><\/a>. It wasn\u2019t written as a textbook, but I think we can use it for that just fine.<\/p>\n

Each week will have a video presentation delivered on-demand. I keep seeing all these cool classes by great teachers and I never take them because their times never work for me. Even if they make their classes available afterward, I still never take them. The ones I\u2019ve actually done have been classes I can do when I can do them. So that\u2019s how I\u2019m going to structure my own classes.<\/p>\n

Each class will have homework: reading, practice, and writing about what you experience. It isn\u2019t mandatory \u2013 if you don\u2019t want to do the homework that\u2019s your business. But if you go to the trouble of doing it, I\u2019ll go to the trouble of reading what you turn in and offering feedback.<\/p>\n

No, there will be no grades \u2013 sorry, all you Hermione-types.<\/p>\n

The cost is $50 for the entire 6-week series. There will be a limited number of scholarships available for those experiencing financial difficulties.<\/p>\n

The class begins at Lughnasadh \u2013 August 1^{st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n}

Module 0 \u2013 the Syllabus Class<\/h1>\n
Remember the first day of class in school? Sometimes in high school, lots of times in college, the teacher would come in, write their name on the board, hand out the syllabus, go over the books you\u2019d be using, and talk about what they hope you\u2019d learn, and then you\u2019re done. Sometimes class would be over in 15 minutes \u2013 other times they\u2019d start teaching.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve got some introductory, syllabus-type stuff we need to cover up front. Rather than cram it into the beginning of Module 1, I decided to separate it out into Module Zero. Also, I can make this module public so everybody can see it. If you\u2019re wondering what this is going to look like and if you really want to do it, here\u2019s your free preview. If you like it, sign up. If you don\u2019t, now you know.<\/p>\n
New Website \u2013 Same Blog<\/h1>\n
You\u2019ll notice I have a new website, conveniently called Under the Ancient Oaks<\/a>. That\u2019s where I\u2019ll host this class \u2013 and future classes, if this one goes well.<\/p>\n
My blog \u2013 which has been called Under the Ancient Oaks since I started it<\/a> on a free Blogger site in 2008 \u2013 will remain here on Patheos. Things aren\u2019t perfect here, but I\u2019ve done well with Patheos<\/a>, and I like being part of a multi-religion website. And there aren\u2019t many websites that pay their writers these days. I don\u2019t make much blogging, but something is better than nothing.<\/p>\n
So, Patheos for blogging, UndertheAncientOaks.com<\/a> for classes.<\/p>\n
Questions?<\/h1>\n
If you have questions about the upcoming class, please contact me here on the blog, via the Under the Ancient Oaks contact form, or on Facebook.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m really looking forward to this class \u2013 I hope you are too.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
