Canada Global (Web News) UK’s University of Exeter has announced a postgraduate degree in witchcraft from next year.
The university said the program will be launched by the institution in September 2024 and the course will examine the history of magic as well as literature, philosophy, archaeology, sociology, psychology, drama and religion in relation to magic. . Professor Emilie Salvo, who leads the new course, wrote on the university’s blog that the growing interest in witchcraft both inside and outside the university is rooted in questions about society. The search for alternatives, feminism and anti-racism are at the core of this program.
He said the program would enable people to re-evaluate the idea that the West is a place of rationality and science while the rest of the world is associated with magic and superstition.
